The head of the NSW Rural Fire Fighters who are responsible for fighting bushfires and doing hazard reduction burns has stated that there have not been any ecological laws that have prevented them from doing burns.

What has prevented from from doing burns is warmer winters that has resulted in the window for when they can safely do burns being reduced.

I'd like to know what these new eco laws you are referring to and a citation for the story you made reference to about the person getting fined for doing hazard reduction on his own land.

Is "active" some kind of obscure reference with a nonintuitive meaning, or did the patent owner reapply for the patent?
Back in the early '90s I used some network that ran over CAT-3 copper, and they had some sort of time slot so there were no collisions. I wish I could remember the name. Our Netware admin swore by it, because no collisions! IIRC, the throughput was 200kbps.

It was, basically unusuable. We eventually switched our development network (8 machines) and customer network (25 machines) over to 10-base-2 Ethernet, and it was blazing in comparison. The Netware guy was sure it would be terrible because of the collisions.

This memo reminds me a bit of that: in theory the other network was better, but in the real world Ethernet worked pretty well.
>It's something that made sense when it started but is now obsolete and seriously detrimental to the modern workforce.

It didn't even make sense when it started. In the 30s the US government instituted wage controls in a misguided attempt to fight the depression, so because businesses weren't allowed to pay workers more (there was a government-mandated wage ceiling), they started offering health insurance to attract them instead. It's a classic example of the negative second-order effects of economically unsound policy.
> k is perfectly readable. That's like, one of the biggest points of the post. The post mocks the mindset featured within your comment.

It mocks it, but it doesn't present a convincing argument. Switching from an imperative language to K is making several changes at once, so we can't really conclude anything about the details of which changes are good or bad. The closest I've seen to a controlled experiment is something like: on a Haskell codebase, switch between using symbolic names like "^>>" and alphabetic names like "promap". And my experience has been, in a real-world mixed-ability team, that overall the alphabetic names had the advantage; if this isn't so for K, then we should try to understand the reasons why. The OP gestures at this, but unconvincingly: why yes, "ordinal" is much clearer than "<<", thank you very much. "Ordinal" may mean different things in different contexts, but so too does "<<" for anyone who knows other programming languages; a name that can help with intuition is a good thing even when it isn't perfect.

I'm very much a believer in concise notation (more than most people I've worked with), but the advantages of having a name that can be unambiguously spoken are large enough to outweigh a small constant factor. I sketched a mainstream-FP implementation of the famous 1-liner APL game of life, which became something like three lines (not counting implementing the equivalents of the APL operators, which require slightly fancy polymorphism to do the right thing on vectors and matrices but are otherwise not that special) that could actually be read and talked about. That seemed like a good tradeoff.

One can - and should - write code that's much denser than the current maintstream style. I do think the industry massively underestimates the value that comes from fitting a function or class on a single page. But I remain unconvinced that it's worth going all the way to code that can't be communicated verbally.

Insurance companies certainly can have formularies. I noticed that there aren't any drugs on the excluded list that don't have alternatives listed.

When we change insurance plans my kids have to change the brand name of insulin they get. Humolog, Admelog, etc. But the insurance company can't decide that they won't pay for fast-acting and slow-acting insulin. And if there is a medical reason a doctor will sign off on that indicates a specific brand is required, I believe that you can generally get even excluded medicines covered.

Can insurance companies refuse to cover an FDA approved drug that doesn't have a reasonable substitute? OP discussed treatment for leukemia. An ACA plan should cover approved treatments for leukemia, but it might not cover, e.g. the latest CAR-T treatment if it's still in Phase 3. You would need to get into the study, in which case treatment would be free.
I understand that mineral rights and surface rights can be separated. I should have mentioned that, as many people are unaware of the fact. What I was highlighting was that in the US individuals and/or companies own property rights to sub-surface minerals below private land, not the government, unlike most countries.

People in the US can still claim federal land in the US for basically free, if they are going to mine productive minerals due to The General Mining Act of 1872[1]. Oil and coal leases are different and the government takes a 8%-12.5% royalty. Still not very much. Most of the value goes to a large number of people in the country, not to the government.

However it resolves, COVID-19 should not be expected to have significant lasting effects on long distance travel. Worst case scenario is a slight sustained drop due to the global population being cut by as much as two percent.

And at the risk of being controversial or callous, the bulk of the deaths are likely to be the elderly. Premature deaths of elderly people wouldn’t have a long term effect on population.
If anyone is curious, I threw together a similar (although not commented yet) example of how I would write this using parser combinators in Haskell: https://gist.github.com/neilparikh/b8a9c758ebbbb5a3ee9b2ed99...

The JS example wrote everything from scratch, so to do the same, I wrote my own parser combinator library (based on https://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~pszgmh/monparsing.pdf), but you could use an existing library, and get rid of `Parser.hs`.

Basic needs as defined by most western governments, e.g. for the purpose of calculating welfare, does not cover expenses for pets. They do not enjoy tax benefits like dependents do either.

Of course people who enjoy something are more likely to define whatever they enjoy as basic need, that doesn't mean we let everyone use the definition that suits them.

For anyone looking for a simple strongly-typed events library, I wrote sub-events: https://github.com/vitaly-t/sub-events.

It requires no time to learn, is quite basic, while still very flexible and well-documented: https://vitaly-t.github.io/sub-events.

If your project does not need anything advanced, in the likes of Rxjs, or you do not want to invest much time learning it without an actual need, sub-events offers an easy way to get started with strongly-typed events.
Leung's actual quote:

“Is 60-80% of the world’s population going to get infected? Maybe not. Maybe this will come in waves. Maybe the virus is going to attenuate its lethality because it certainly doesn’t help it if it kills everybody in its path, because it will get killed as well,” he said.

I think you're putting words in his mouth.

Lipsitch's comment in your own link begins with "if a pandemic happens", which is not the same as saying he's "predicting billions infected", so, again, you put words in his mouth as well.

Meanwhile, WHO estimates that only 0.5% of those exposed will develop any symptom at all... and not everyone will even be exposed.

Historical revisionism - Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_revisionism

>In historiography, the term historical revisionism identifies the re-interpretation of the historical record. It usually means challenging the orthodox (established, accepted or traditional) views held by professional scholars about a historical event, introducing contrary evidence, or reinterpreting the motivations and decisions of the people involved.
With C++, going modern-first is a great approach. But C hasn't really been modernized that much, and because Microsoft has been so slow to fully support even just C99, let alone C11 or any GCC/clang extensions, often one has to to stick to a subset of C99 anyways -- exactly as you surmised.

The problem with C is that it's extremely dangerous. Besides learning how to program in C, you'll really want to know how to use memory debuggers such as valgrind and Dr. Memory (https://www.drmemory.org/), as well as AFL for fuzzing, and various GCC and clang sanitizers. You'll really want to let functional programming language experience inform your approach to C API design and implementation.

That's not uncommon in the bay area for a developer with two or three kids. $132k without even getting started.

Suddenly his $150k developer income is cut to 60% of what it was before, $90k. Except wait it's not there's a "cap" so he's pulling in a massive $62k. With $132 in basic expenses.

This is no problem and terribly generous as you see it.

> Reading new Transformer papers makes me feel that training these models requires something akin to black magic when determining the best learning rate schedule, warmup strategy and decay settings.

This is the slow decline of the machine learning field because most researchers are too busy procuring positions in various institutions instead of asking and pursuing more creative and more difficult lines of question/thought.

I am glad the author chooses to call out disconcerting behavior.

The larger the model the less important or just purely redundant the various modules will become.

Liquified hydrogen is the best possible fuel for aircraft, newly practical since advances in aerogel production that make well-insulated tanks practical.

It will unfortunately need new airframes, because even liquified it needs a fair bit more room than diesel. But once those are going, nobody will be able to compete with them. The hydrogen can be produced right at the airport from solar electric at minimum spot prices.

With this development, some of it can be produced without the round trip through electrics.
Offshoring has been tried and only succeeds under very specific circumstances and with very specific conditions. For one, not all engineering talent is created equal. You'd be surprised at how important language and culture are to succesfully building a technology product. So it's not just a few more levels of difficulty. It can sometimes be completely insurmountable to hire good quality talent overseas, especially if you don't know how to go about doing it, don't understand the culture of the country you're hiring from or it's business practices or don't know how to properly structure and manage your projects which is difficult enough as it is with local talent.

Besides, this assumes that "WFH" will be normalized which I doubt will happen. It will be forced on us, but workplaces are social places just as much as they are places to do work.

Beyond that, this all assumes that SARS-COV-2 is a true epidemic of proportions we haven't seen since the Spanish flu which, despite all the alarmist media, isn't likely. It's good to take all the right precautions, but we aren't living in the early 19th/20th century anymore.

Numbers per country in general are really hard to evaluate as there is no standard for anything.

Confirmed cases: heavily dependent on tested people. 1500 in US vs 100k in S. Korea makes the comparison useless.
Also, who is tested?
In Italy they started testing only symptomatic people after a while.
China has changed the parameters a few times in these last weeks.

Deaths: are all deceased people tested?

Recoveries: what constitutes as a recovery? Highly variable on a per country basis.

I wonder if WHO has published some standards.
You didn't ask that question. You asked whether consumers (not the meat industry) should be be held liable.

But certainly, if the meat industry meets the bar of criminal animal cruelty then I don't see why they shouldn't be held liable.

My initial comment was whether existing animal cruelty statutes should be extended to cover pet owners instead of only direct actions by people, assuming they don't already do so.

I'm very much a believer in concise notation (more than most people I've worked with), but the advantages of having a name that can be unambiguously spoken are large enough to outweigh a small constant factor.

I don't believe this holds up to scrutiny. APL as a language was made to be spoken, and it seems to have succeeded in that. Alan Perlis briefly touched on that in a great paper,[1] and just about everyone who's worked with the language and its derivatives agrees that your statement isn't true.

The idea that APL and its derivatives can't be "read and talked about" is frankly ignoring reality by any stretch of the imagination.

For example, here's [2] [3] [4] some videos disproving your statement, the first two being APL, the last being k itself.

For extra bonus points, see Aaron Hsu's talks [5]; pick any of them, they're all pretty good, and most have a segment in them explaining how that viewpoint is wrong.

The post sort of comments on that by claiming that K's somewhat cryptic-looking operator-style functions are more legible than named counterparts.

> Does giving a K idiom a name make it clearer, or does it obscure what is actually happening?

sum: +/
raze: ,/
ordinal: <<

> The word “ordinal” can mean anything, but the composition << has exactly one meaning. (That one took a while to click, but it was satisfying when it did.)

(Didn’t click for me but I also didn’t spend a while on it, whatever.)

However, one should note that it's not like other functional languages don't have their share of cryptic operators, intuitiveness up to debate of course. Here's a list for Mathematica: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/25616

At the end of the day this approach doesn't scale very well and skews nicer when you look at very simple examples like +/!100.

Anyway, I'll take my sum(range(100)).

+1 for HLS. HLS is an important aspect in saving money while using the CDN's. They allow for different streaming rates, and the player can download the video in chunks vs the entire video which saves money on bandwidth costs.

Encoding videos is important too, especially if you have users uploading videos, or you are getting videos from different sources, you can never depend on 3rd party sources because they'll always throw a wild card file type at you unexpectedly.
