My high school had maybe 5-6 hours of class a day, but most of it was playtime. I had a fine time with my friends, but not much was learned. There was homework now and then, but it worked out to an insignificant percentage of class time. In fact I just did the homework during class.

College was a little different. 3 hours of class a day, but there was hardly a wasted minute, and the rest of the day was homework. Homework was typically 2 hours for every hour of class.
When you want to take what’s someone’s property and make sure you want to ‘allocate’ it to someone else who wants it..it’s called redistribution.

They used to send people to re-education camps to ensure it happened smoothly. We may not have re education camps here in CA but asking senior citizens to accept punitive taxes so they would feel incentivized to move to the country so land can be reallocated is the same thing.

And yes, ‘one or few’ people will buy up everything and hold it. It is the nature of property rights. To have rights over ones own property. If you want to rewrite that, we have to change what America is about..

Being able to live in your property is not ‘using it inefficiently’. Wanting someone’s property ..otoh..is theft.

Thanks, it's good to point out to an international audience that Finland was not enamoured with national socialism, but rather it was driven by the will to survive by any means necessary.

Strong or not, given the situation, I don't think Finland could have survived without german support. If we look this from a very high granularity level (like in a board game of Diplomacy) I think you also have to factor in the fact that the bulk of the red army was tied to battles against the axis powers elsewhere. So it's not just how much the germans actually poured material and men to finland, it's also about how much they tied the enemy forces elsewhere.
Ah, sorry I didn't make that clear... That would be a contradiction, as no pattern was found to fit in that area. You need to generate again.
Is that essentially repeating the position embedding? I'm surprised that works, since the model should have no way to distinguish between the (e.g.) 1st and 513th token. (If I'm understanding this correctly.)

I mean we need to question "military doesn't want", not that we need to question "forcing the military to buy".

We may have a situation where the military really wants the equipment, but isn't permitted to admit it. They follow orders. The orders, coming down from the president, are that the military is to claim that they don't want the equipment.

Example: the military really wanted the F-22, then we got a new president, and suddenly the military isn't interested in the F-22

The military is not free to speak.

Just a guess: the null byte is necessarily at the end of the 24 bytes rather than at the beginning. It might be in a different (typically 64-byte) cache line. Maybe one you don't need to read in from main RAM otherwise if you're handling a shorter string. That might make more of a performance difference than whether 23-byte strings (plus NUL byte) are short or long, depending on your application.

No, it's nothing The Day After Tomorrow; the characters in sunshine aren't paper-thin stereotypes. I'd say it's a lot more like Interstellar - though all three involve "do or die" threats to the character to propel the plot, it's much more a drama working within the constraints of a proposed system, rather than a dumb big-budget thriller.
Absolutely, after stack happened and ghc started a faster release cycle it felt like the system was breathing again. 10M more users would be detrimental at this point, because the language is actually moving.
I'd also like to point out that much of the initial coverage included quotes from people selling "drone defense" services. It seems reasonable that these companies were incentivized to do whatever they could to stir up public fear.

It tends to be quadratic, based on the number of variables and the cyclomatic complexity. The DFA equations cannot be solved directly, but only iteratively until a solution is reached.

Debug code generation, on the other hand, involves none of that and the compiler just blasts out code expression by expression. The time goes up linearly with the number of expressions.

DFA (and the O/B DFA) is done at the function level. It can be done globally, but I try to keep the compile times reasonable.
I would have found it more convincing if there was video showing "large wingspan drones traveling in groups". Even at night, it should be possible to shoot a video of a group of drones that looks plausibly like a group of drones. But there doesn't seem to be any such video. Aircraft with thermal cameras went up looking for the drones, and didn't find anything.

Multiple government organizations, at the local, state and federal government level, investigated. They claim not to have found any evidence of strange groups of large drones flying around. No physical evidence or recordings exists of groups of large drones flying around. There are eyewitness reports, but they are definitely not independent--People were primed to see drones after the first reports. The local news report is a good example of a relatively easy debunked sighting that seems to have resulted from a strong expectation of seeing drones. And almost all of the reports were debunked, according to government claims.

It's possible there's a large-scale government coverup of a large-scale drone flight operation. The operation must be pretty important for so many levels of government to be convinced to lie about it. Very important, very secret, but for some reason still had to be done over populated areas, continuing for weeks after it became a big story--so it wasn't actually a very high priority to hide the drones from eyewitnesses. Coincidentally, and very luckily for the government coverup, not a single one of the many eyewitnesses has any convincing physical evidence or imagery of the flight operations.

I feel like someone is being overly credulous, but it's not Vice.

Ok, but then what's the point of splitting it in the first place?
The way I see it is to split your domain so that a team owns not only the code, but also the model, the data, the interface and the future vision of a small enough area.
If a service owns all the data, then someone who needs to make any change is bottlenecked by it and they would need knowledge beyond their domain.
So the key is defining the right domains (or domain boundaries). Unfortunately most people just split before thinking about the details of this process, so the split will sooner or later hit a wall of dependencies.

> The dynamic types bring new capabilities above and beyond what is possible with static types.

Not really. "Dynamic type" just means an object that carries around a description of its structure (or more commonly, a pointer to a description). You can do the same thing in many languages with static types. (Including Haskell. GHC has special support for this pattern.)
I think the author should be more explicit in their definitions.

1. On one end of the spectrum, people may think and act without tying words to concepts at all.

2. Then, they may think by forming words in sentences, but not consider it "talking to themselves" or consider themselves as "hearing" a voice in their head.

3. Next, one may say words and sentences to themselves and seem to hear them, but their audatory nerves are not involved in any way.

4. Finally, there may be people who actually "hear" the voice, but somehow know that it isn't coming in through their ears.

I would be in camp 3 whenever I am "thinking" but in camp 1 whenever I am just doing something I've done before and don't need to think about it. I talk to myself out loud, and to my dog, and sing and crack jokes when nobody is listening.

People in camp 4 who also don't associate the voice as coming from themself are generally considered mentally ill. Sometimes on the edge of wake and sleep you might hear a voice, not your own, clearly aurally, but that's not too unusual of a hallucination to have.

I've heard that in the early 20th century, anyone in camp 3 or 4 was considered insane, perhaps even camp 2 was unusual, and that normal people were in camp 1, and anybody who talked to themselves out loud was definitely insane. And I suspect that television and a lack of long boring quiet work changed how we think. And I suspect being in camp 3 or 4 is associated with anxiety and depression, but also with higher intelligence. I have no data to back up any of these suspicions.

Oh, and Buddhist style meditation drops you back into Camp 1.
Yeah, I don't know about that. I definitely have aphantasia but have a strong inner monologue and can (roughly) hear things in my mind.

The only reason I have an understanding of what a "mind's eye" might be like is that I do dream visually. This is apparently not uncommon among aphatasics.
I went to an English-speaking school where the majority of the students did not have English as their first language. I remember asking them what language they would think in. Everybody understood the question (so maybe they all had internal monologue?) and the answer would generally be that they thought in their native language for “everyday” things, but in English for the “academic” things that they had learned at school.

You do not want personal finance problems on top of startup problems. They are hard enough by themselves.
From the description, it seems, that you have just 500 mails to send. You can not receive emails anymore. Or am I wrong? Thank you.
I believe the programs are actually harmful, because they filter for different things than what it actually takes to make a startup work. You're teaching people to play games and jump through arbitrary hoops, rather than connect with customers and identify problems to solve.

And that's before you take in to account corruption and inclusivity. I do believe Europe (at least based on my experience living in Germany) makes effort towards inclusivity, but if you looked at where this money is going, it would be vastly weighted to the middle and upper class (though I concede I may be wrong on this point).

Given that you can easily bootstrap a tech company on the side with some contract work, my belief can be summed up as the practice is: 1) actively harmful 2) unfair 3) wasteful 4) unnecessary

> The actual cost of handling card payments is very, very low these days, but merchants are stuck paying the higher price, because there's effectively no competition in the space.

In other words, the cost of processing credit cards is low enough that it successfully competes with every alternative form of payment. In which case I don't see what you're outraged about. Invent a more cost-effective payment mechanism if you think there's an opportunity for it.
I don't have any internal monologue. I would have to read something phonetically or deliberately subvocalise to achieve that.

I begin to understand why other people (such as the ms) might not be happy that I have a podcast on while reading, and able to listen and talk to her at the same time. She might have an internal monologue but it's something nice never thought to ask. From her perspective it's a cacophony, for me it is almost soothing.
If you look at other reports by Jepsen (elasticsearch and mongodb are real gems), you might find that this one found very few very minor bugs and documentation problems. Etcd is pretty solid for what it does.

edit: seems like my recollection of the mongodb one is the 2.4.x one [1] and the later ones are much better. Also mongo included the Jepsen test suite into their CI.

> I think one reason to avoid this approach is because SQL and other DB languages are pretty terrible (compared to popular languages like C#, Python, etc...) But why has no one written a great DB language yet?

SQL is actually hard to compare to programming languages, because in SQL you say what you want, while in iterative language you say how. I only know one language that was competing with SQL (and lost) it is QUEL (originally it was used by Ingress and Postgres).

BTW for triggers and stored procedures you actually can use traditional language, I know that PostgreSQL supports Python, you just need to load a proper extension to enable it.
Correct - See "big bath" accounting.
I wish we could appreciate the middle ground more & stop evangelising extremes. Our work is complex & deserves considered approaches that don't always fall within the current zeitgeist of our industry.
> This is all good and well except it's very hard to implement in practice. If a microservice needs to replay all business events from months or years in the past it may take hours or days to do this.

In my experience it's not hard to implement, but of course it depends on the problem domain (and probably also on not splitting things up willy-nilly because of the microservices fad). I think the key to event sourcing and immutability in general is to not overdo it. For example you will likely need to redact certain data (e.g. for legal compliance), so zero information loss is out. Systems like Kafka are a poor choice for long term data storage, the default retention is 1 week for a reason.

But the things that are wonderful about event sourcing (the ability to inspect, replay and fix because you haven't lost information) mostly materialize over a 1 week timeframe.

If you need to recover a lot of state from the event log you will need store aggregated event data at regular intervals to play back from to have acceptable performance. But in practice, in many cases the data granularity you need goes down as the data ages anyway, and you do some lossy aggregation as a natural part of your business process (as opposed to to deal with even sourcing performance problems). I.e. for the short timeframe kafka is the source of truth, but for the stuff you care long term it's some database, and this happens kinda naturally. So often you don't need to implement checkpointing.

I feel a lot of the excitement for microservices came from fatigue and frustration with overly complex monoliths. Turns out that the complexity was just brought out of microservices, one abstraction layer up into the architecture.

I think a lot of the principles in classic OOP design (SOLID) can be applied to microservice systems: Classes/Objects <> Services.
What does your research say?

I'm barely mentioning the features which people would generally expect out of chat apps.

Regarding the WYSIWYG, I always hear complaints, including myself that texts get weirdly formatted when they paste from somewhere else and it does more harm than good when symbols are automatically parsed, so the other option would apparently be WYSIWYG editor, which anyone will have no problem comprehending how to use.

You can't just expect everyone to read and learn formatting rules to type. I'm an engineer but I don't even want to remember some Mattermost formatting rules to avoid unintended transformations.
I really like your description. One thing i don't understand though, is why generalising these operations is considered a good thing?

In my day to day I spend a bit of time writing functional code, and a lot of time reviewing it, and when you generalise in this manner it hides a lot of the details of the algorithmic complexity. Is this operation happening in a future? or is on a list? You could argue that the type signature will let you know, but quite often it's inferred.

Suddenly I find myself needing an IDE just to do code reviews. People make arguments about naming variables and suddenly we're back to using hungarian notation.

I also find it's easy to make mistakes - you do a flatmap instead of a map and the Nones just vanish. Or you're composing so many generic functions that the intent of the code just disappears.

I guess i just wanted to see if it's just me.
