Don't think of it as alternative to java, think of it as an alternative to writing the critical path of bigger java code in opencl/assembler/fortran.

With this you can write the critical method in subset of java, test it using standard java tooling and then run it on gpu.

All your tools will work because it's a subset of java - so you can use the same code formatter, static analysis tools, build scripts, continuous integration, IDE highlighting and completion.

You can use IDE refactoring over the whole codebase instead of doing it in 2 phases on 2 different languages (or more often doing the performance-sensitive parts by hand).

That's a big difference, much better than maintaining codebase in 2 languages one of which usually isn't supported by your tools.
I think Italy is doing a bit worse than all other countries.

Please re-read what I wrote, because I made the link with the current left-wing coalition very clear. I'll rewrite it here for your convenience: I pointed out that initially the left wing underplayed the threat, while accusing people taking precautions of doing so in the name of racism.

"The only virus there is, is racism", they told us. "The flu makes more victims, so we shouldn't worry", they told us.

That's why I am talking about the left wing and their reckless behaviour.

Agreed on the first part; I’d want to see hard statistics (after fees) on the second part (and, no, citing the 3 or so famous exceptions that are closed to outside investors and might have used illegally obtained insider information doesn’t invalidate the larger point).

I think they're pretty well-known, but my part of industry likes to pretend that nothing has changed since 1985. So I'm busy reading what I can and dragging us into the modern era. I came across them via references from some other book or site. I don't recall where, now.
I challenge you to prove these have ever been a vector for attack. It's just not practical.

Coronavirus: Italy extends its quarantine to the entire country
Fantastic. Right now I can pull up my Walmart app and see every receipt from a Walmart big box or grocery store from the last several years. There's even a picture of the thing I bought. I can't get this with Google play. I assume I'll get this with Amazon pay and then maybe the other payment networks will up their game.

BBC had this article about some shortages: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-51731719
Lockdown in Italy is a concept that is difficult to enforce. And it's probably very different to what it means in China or even just South Korea or any other more organised and centrally governed country in Europe like France.
But in essence:
Schools are closed until next month.
People can still move around freely for work reasons, and in general people still work in offices.
Bars and restaurants close after 18pm.
Shops are closed only on weekends.
People over 65 have free deliveries from most supermarkets, but very few use them.
Big groups of people are not allowed outside public places.
The social structure in Italy is still very much based on families, so people will remain with their close relatives and go out for a walk around home.

My girlfriend went to a bootcamp and got a job, but won’t recommend them. She got lucky with timing. The classes after her haven’t been so lucky.
I didn’t know about the working conditions. Now I know, because they are threatening her and because of this article. Next time I hear about them, I am going to remember this article.

Sometimes it is best to keep quiet, is it not?

Yes, I do understand she got paid for her silence.
Every time you buy a stock, someone sold it to you, so flow of money into the market isn't something that's easy to define in a meaningful way. And even if a lot of the invested capital is passive (maybe half of the US stock market), almost none of the trading is, and that's what determines prices.

You do know that the increase in cases is directly related to the number of tests conducted, right?
A majority of those cases are new. Just look at germany’s numbers a week ago. Presumably it takes some time for the condition to get worse and eventually lead to death.
Italy is a country of 60M+ people and the 8th largest economy in the world, with a very high national debt and that significantly relies on tourism for its economy. Above and beyond the Coronavirus, this can terribly affect the long-term solvency of the country.
It’s an English translation of this article: https://bergamo.corriere.it/notizie/cronaca/20_marzo_07/coro...

It was linked in the thread, had you cared to read it.

Nobody panicked in Italy, and now they’re in a general lockdown! Clearly, they should have taken social distancing measures sooner, as we should now.
You talk as if Amazon was like an Uber or WeWork. That's really far from the truth.

Amazon were slightly profitable or break-even since 2003. There's a convenient chart of their profits since day one here:

https://qz.com/1196256/it-took-amazon-amzn-14-years-to-make-...

Starting in 1997 they bled money with mounting losses until about 1999, when they began to turn things around. The dotcom pop is clearly visible but they recovered almost immediately and their losses continued to shrink until about 2001-2002 when they became break even. From 2002-2011 they either made small profits or nothing, but that was obviously because they were growing at a rapid pace and putting all the money back into the business. Once AWS launches in 2006 (so about 10 years after day 1 in retail) profits start growing but then are back into the red around the time of the GFC+recession, and again in the 2012-2013 European recession. After that it's stratospheric profits.

How much investor money is "infinite money"? Somewhere between $8-$9 million before they floated on the stock market.

Obviously, investors who put money into their IPO have done extremely well and cannot claim they were shovelling money into a furnace, far from it.

The inflation in investment round sizes over the past 20 years has been staggering. I see nothing that suggests Amazon was unusual in raising so little money (comparatively speaking) before they went public.
> Every object is (or at least should be) "a description of what to do" in the exact sense you're using here. This is crucial to understand for properly using OOP.

I think you may have missed the point. In most OOP languages, an object exposes some capabilities (methods that can be called, properties that can be read, etc), but it does not describe itself very well at all. This is why we have RTTI, instanceof etc. to switch on what an object is. Alternatively, we can use the visitor pattern. As the OP states, these are not as elegant as DUs and matching.
Really you only have to use a (loyalty card, credit card) pair once for them to correlate all your purchases. But even then, I bet (store ID, name from credit card) is sufficiently unique in many cases to identify you.
> The US equity market will unlikely to deliver exceptional returns.

With each passing day in this crisis, I think you can make the opposite case. Long-term risk in equities is going down, not up, as the market falls and stocks move toward relatively underpriced from relatively overpriced. Or am I missing something?

The expected long-term return from investing $1 in the stock market now vs beginning of Feb is higher, is it not?
It’s not even clear that that’s necessary, at least for stakes in public companies, and at least under existing regulations. Berkshire Hathaway owns big chunks of all of the four largest US airlines, and smaller chunks of the big four US banks, and there’s no Chinese wall between Warren Buffett and himself.

Being stuck with C, while CUDA allows for higher level programming models, is one of the reasons why most researchers just flocked to CUDA.

I work on trading systems. My uptime record was 9 months. Only went down because the DBs went down and our 3rd-party ODBC lib went nuts and hung on reconnect. We traded world wide, so the systems had to be up nearly 24/7. We had a 2 hour maintenance window on the weekends. I know some shops that are US only and start and stop their systems daily.

I took stability quite seriously. My first boss was fired after knocking is out of the options market at open on a Monday. Refused to accept responsibility and opened the firm up to a potential $600K fine. He was out the door before noon.

It's an interesting development. Things like -12V made sense on the 80s (sigh), while high-powered 3.3v/5v needs made sense on the 90s (it still makes some sense today, for example for USB)

Though one thing they might have considered but maybe rejected was going for a higher voltage single rail power supply (something like 24v)

Your board might still need those voltages but will have to DC-DC convert it themselves (as opposed to a multi-tap transformer as the article was implying)

You left out one important taker-of-goodwill: loss of 32bit on Catalina.

But, the fact this happened just now, in 2019, makes me think Apple doesn't recognize this is a problem at all, or thinks it's too small of a problem to matter.
It would indeed, but if it's an irrational panic or an algorithmic mess-up it also allows people to stop and think for a bit. It's a tradeoff, and the main goal is to reduce the extreme failures.
No, I am saying that it was not a reply yo anything said in the comment.

exabrial was noticing how the article was clearly biased; whether Buffet "deserve" that bias due to other negative traits is relatively irrelevant.

Honestly it is a pet-peeve of mine. Person A has bad trait X and so person B claim that it also has bad trait Y without the required links or justifications.

Remaining in the misjudged Nazi example, it is important for me to criticize the horrors of WWII for what actually happened, because every unfounded criticism will come back to bite you.
Regardless of the specifics of her contract, it's a really, really bad look for a well-funded startup to sue a former employee for $36k.

This isn't quite true. I get what you're saying, but from a technical perspective, it's not accurate. The markets also go up based on the total money supply in the system. If the government takes on a lot of debt, eventually a portion of that makes its way to the stock market, among other places.

You don't actually need to improve efficiency/productivity if the government has tools like the discount rate, open market operations, the ability to alter margin requirements on derivatives, fed funds rate, as well as programs and policies like MMIF, TAF, CPPF, ABCP, TALF, ZIRP, to manipulate the money supply and the velocity/flow rates of money.

In France, president Macron signed an presidential order last week requisitioning surgical masks and their production for healthcare use. Why isn't this possible in the US?

You can't say there are inefficiencies for institutions to exploit, but no inefficiencies for anyone else. Choose a consistent framework for how you view markets.

There are fast alphas, and there are slow alphas.

If you're an institution making markets on index ETFs, you can make money by having more accurate spot prices for the basket. Fast alpha.

If you're a vol trader, you are more worried about convexity of gap moves and the shape of the vol surface. For me, this means following the story of the name and thinking about where the vol surface doesn't properly reflect tail risk. Slow alpha.

Consider the likelihood of a dice that can land on both its ”1” side and its ”6” side at the same time?

Assuming that the die is fair, this is not possible in the real world.

Bayesian probability [1] states that this is not possible as expected.

```
P(land1 ^ land6) = P(land1) x P(land6 | land1)
= 1/6 x 0
= 0
```

However, fuzzy logic [1] results in an unintuitive result.

```
T(land1 ^ land6) = min(land1, land6)
= min(1/6, 1/6)
= 0
```

Yep, I passed out just after a surgery so I went to the ER. If it was before 5:30 I'd had called/visited my doctor. If I had arrived at 9PM instead of 9:30 I would have used the urgent care. So I went to the closest medical services in 200 miles.

I've tried to "curate" my experience many times over the years and it's never proven worth it.

I'm settling on a conclusion that some folks care more about what those close to them "in life" share, and others are more interested in what "outsiders" share. Those outsiders may be renowned global experts in their field, or athletes, or vapid influencers, or anything in between.

Regardless, I haven't been able to make it work.
pretty much all modern boards use DC/DC power stages from 12v, even for 5v and 3.3v stuff.
Absolutely, and I hope there will continue to be artisan shops providing that experience for those who want it. But I'm optimistic there will be, just as farmers' markets haven't been entirely eliminated by your local supermarket.
The author said in a comment here that it was written for an FP audience.

The example you gave is similar to a discriminated union in ML but it is not as robust because the language will not check that every match expression (probably an if-instanceof-ladder in Java) handles every case.

I've never heard of 14 people dying in a 120-bed nursing home of the seasonal flu in a 3 week time span either, but the Coronavirus is making that happen in Kirkland, WA right now. Actually, about 30 people have died, but since they don't have enough tests, they can't say that it was Coronavirus.

My wife is an administrator at a Nursing facility that is much larger, and this many people DYING so quickly is terrifying.
With the cornavirus, retail business will be down. Retail workers will get less shifts and lose their jobs, etc. Then, just like what happened during the GFC, their jobs will be automated before the economy recovers.
Well, i didn't say they weren't changing anything at all. Given how perturbed you are by those Prime ads that don't functionally affect anything, imagine the magnitude of the public outcry if Amazon implemented something as radical as "just walk out" tech at Whole Foods.
That's a real point. There are many reasons why people might not hear you well on a conference call: you can control some of them, but not all of them.

Since genome analysis has shown that the Italian strain came from Germany, they were right in denouncing racism against Chinese people living in Italy. Just like it's now incorrect to treat Italy like the European Wuhan.

For people who don't want a proprietary solution, there's GnuCash on the easier end and Beancount/Ledger/hledger etc. on the harder end. Beancount in particular has Fava which is great for analysing spending and inflow/outflow more generally.

Also all of these work outside of America, which is usually not the case for the proprietary solutions (at least the ones I'm aware of).

The choice of a language or framework is only one factor on the success of failure of a system.

You can write a broker in brainfuck if you are so inclined. You can make it rock solid. Your pick may require more or less engineering resources, but that's all it does.

You mention ActiveRecord. That too is premature optimization. Crafting optimized SQL queries will not save a badly architected app. They might even be worse if whoever is optimizing them doesn't fully understand what they are doing.

> if you want to make sure that the databas doesn't lock the tables for a long time.

You didn't mention which database you are using. You didn't say anything about its schema. This is yet another generalization. Not all databases will "lock the tables", no matter how badly queries are written. And, if they do, optimize that.

Usually, only a handful of services are critical. Microservices are all the rage, optimize those to death.
