I love Rust and I don't know much about data science but from my understanding many data scientists are not hardcore programmers it the same way that many programmers are not necessarily great at sysadmin. It's a tool, but it's not really the core of their job. In particular they mention Python being very popular in these circles.

Switching from garbage collected and dynamically typed to manual memory management + static typing + borrow checker + trait-based generics is going to be a deep dive for these people. Maybe they'd end up better off in the end though, who knows. I personally think that dynamic typing and GCs are overrated and their benefits overstated but that's obviously not the consensus out there.

I do agree. The syntax they chose was not my favorite option. I wish they at least had put the stupid parentheses, so you can think of awaiting as an operation that the compiler "magically" puts on Futures in async contexts.

I know that's not technically right, but it still seems a better approximation to reality.
It is misnamed. Makes it sound like some kind of Turing complete approach, like when DeepMind invented differentiable Turing machines. Tgis post just describes differentiating mathematical functions, which has been around forever, and you can find in matlab, mathematica, python libs, explained in CISCP, etc. Why doesn't Google just buy a Matlab license and be done with it? Why bother embedding in a whole new programming language?

I am not calling these philosophers idiots, I am saying that they encourage dangeous thinking.

The OP quotes:

And what I'm saying is that they partly do, as emergent adaptations to reality, except in pampered cultures where comforts erase impetus.

I deleted the part about mathematics because it was no longer applicable to what I ended up writing.

>Your vulgar High Rationality is built on sand

My high rationality is built on the observation that a large swath of people actually believe that there is little value in the cultural norms of old. I used to feel similarly. Then I grew up. My vulgarity is built on frustration with the modern state of the world and the headstrong ignorance of the young adult population in the US. Here's a case in point - ignorant young people would be less uppity if they were taught to show amount some respect to elders. Not blindly, but in the US we seem to have lost an appreciation for the experience that comes with age.
The global dollar short squeeze [1], if left to unfold, will drive the dollar to highs that will paralyze the US and world economy. The Fed will combat this problem through aggressive devaluation. This devaluation will take the form of moving privately-held assets onto its balance sheet through purchases.

Taken far enough, this program will leave the Fed without Treasuries to buy. To diversify the flow of assets onto the balance sheet, ever riskier assets will be purchased. Today it's junk bonds. Tomorrow it could be stocks.

I just had a shed installed for my wife as a place for her to sew and other stuff. I luckily was able to get an electrician out to wire it up for power. All together, I spent like 6K for everything, although I need to get drywall put in. It was a 20th anniversary gift for the wife. Now it's her office while she has to work from home.
None of them use Python either. A lot just use MATLAB.
Some countries behave even more strangely. India barred entry of its own citizens into India. One KLM flight was turned back from Delhi because it had Indian citizens on board.
I don't think it's hypocrisy.

At the time the vast majority of the cases in China were in Wuhan and Hubei, which had been put on lockdown with airports closed, but the rest of the country has much fewer cases.

No country imposed full ban on travels with countries that had the number of cases seen in China outside Wuhan/Hubei.

Whether this was the right or wrong decision to make is another issue.

The same discussion can be had about travellers from Italy just a few weeks later.

At the end of the day it is also down to each country to make its own decision on who to accept.
Easier said than done, given that the Chinese government is pretty much writing blank checks to attract, retain and gather just about every form of IP and manufacturing processes known. You see the same thing with 5G, where the goals of the Chinese government isn't so much to produce a price competitive product but crush global competition in the marketplace by whatever means possible.

How can you compete with subsidies so heavy it's basically free?

The game they're playing isn't free market.

Covid-19 spreads through the air outside with shocking ease, study says
Nietzsche would never have been a fan of post-modernism and it is a great historical irony that post-modern authors cite him so prolifically. I'm convinced that most of the French totally misunderstood the Germans (looking at you, Foucault and Deleuze...)

Nietzsche's crusade against schopenhauerian pessimism and critique of "the last man" (opposite of the ubermensch) looks suspiciously like what his critique of post-modernism might have looked like if he lived long enough...

From the Wikipedia article on "the last man"

"The lives of the last men are pacifist and comfortable. There is no longer a distinction between ruler and ruled, strong over weak or supreme over the mediocre. Social conflict and challenges are minimized. Every individual lives equally and in "superficial" harmony. There are no original or flourishing social trends and ideas"

Hmm, sounds kind of like what the hard left post-modernists want, doesn't it?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_man

Edit: How about the people of HN explain why this take is wrong instead of greying it as they seem to do with every other post that has anything to do with post-modernism. I'd sincerly like to hear why this post isn't a good interpretation of Nietzsche.

It's especially suspicious because it fluctuates from not grey to grey rapidly - indicating that there may be a significant amount of brigading going on.
But even the Congressman is overlooking the fact that the stimulus bill was $6T, not $2T, the additional $4T went straight to the FED.

Now the Congressman did divide the $2T by 150M to account for workers only; whereas, I divided $6T by 331M (as a rough estimate for total US citizens). Otherwise my number would be closer to $37,000 per US worker (as opposed to $18,000 per citizen)
>Fascists don't give a shit that you think you owned them in a debate.

The fascist may not, but what about the audience?

> Even if there were some objective standard by which you can say you have bested someone with reason in an argument, does it matter when power can simply ignore it?

In order to gain power, you have to persuade people to follow you. Brute force is a hilariously inefficient way of doing that. Heck, even the ancient Athenians (i.e. Pericles, Demosthenes, etc) realized that it was far easier to persuade people with words than with fists.

>Liberals mocked Hitler constantly until the day he seized power.

And how did Hitler seize and consolidate his power? It certainly wasn't with brute force. It was with rhetoric. Even without understanding a single word of German, I can feel the force of Hitler's personality when I see footage of the Nuremberg rallies.

If resources are truly scarce, then competition means most players won't survive - whatever resources they manage to hoard for themselves won't be enough for their needs. Cooperation means more will be saved.

(A simple thought experiment: imagine there are 10 equally capable competitors, each needing 2 units of resources to survive, and there are only 10 available globally. Under cooperation, 5 competitors will need to be sacrificed, but 5 will live. Under competition, all 10 will perish, each holding their hard-won single unit of resources.)
If you're using/contributing to a open source project that is famous for it's non-community development and BDFL leadership style, it should come as no surprise when that continues.

The call for "If you're not happy you should fork the code" comes because this is a explicit expectation of the Elm core team and Evan.

What does "open source work" really mean? Open Source talks strictly about the licensing and distribution of the code itself, not the community and everything around. It feels like everyone are having two conversations at the same time. Open source as we currently know it, is just about the code. Open communities (or whatever you want to call it) is a separate discussion, and not needed to "make open source work" as you just have to license your code in a specific way to be open source.

Then we can discuss what makes open communities around open source code work, but I think that's a separate thread.
Agree. I think a better exposition on COVID-19 models is Zenep Tufecki's article in The Atlantic [1].

> In a global crisis, selfish actions help nobody.

Officials are elected to serve the need of their own constituants first and foremost, not foreign interests. There is nothing selfish about that. The American government doesn't have to consult with Canada or Mexico before taking a decision in times of crisis. This is the very core idea behind a representative democracy.

Where politicians failed is with their lack of foresight when it comes to stocking masks and ventilators, they didn't fail because they were "selfish" toward other nations.
Do not lie.

I'm at a stage in my career where internships I did in university are irrelevant. At one point I included them in my CV when I felt like they added something of value but they are no longer pertinent and I don't talk about them.

If you feel like your two short stints do not add value to showcasing your experience then omit them. Your resume is your chance to showcase your skills and experience. Note that this is different than being asked on a form to list your last three employers. Something that again you will not want to lie about.

If asked about a potential continuity break you tell them the truth, that those short stints did not add value to your skill set, nor reflect your long term plans.

That is my recommendation anyways.

One thing you might also want to think about is that perhaps working with an under performing team is an opportunity. If you can lead an under performing team to success then you could be a hero (just as in the movie).
That's a good point. Perhaps globalization alone only marginally reduces the risk and it's the combination of globalization + trust (or at least not mistrust) that reduces the likelihood of war.

If that's the case then the US government's efforts to take supplies away from some of our closest allies is even more dangerous and short-sighted than I initially thought.

A month ago I would have said a mask factory in Canada vs. US is nearly equal in terms of national security because Canada could be trusted to help in a time of crisis. I'm sure many Canadians felt the same way. Now I'm not so sure that's true and I certainly don't blame the Canadians.

Ultimately, the most hopeful future I see is one where all levels of government, from municipalities all the way up to the federal government report out raw data as close to real-time as possible so that academic institutions, non-profits, etc., can do data science for the public, so to speak.

Compared to a spherical cow model we could make as soon as we realized that CO2 the oceans absorbed didn't stay absorbed we've only done a little better. It's a complicated system, we don't know all the detail, and the calibration of the older models we've been able to robustly test at least just wasn't there.

Compared to constant model where the temperature stays the same both the modern sophisticated model and the spherical cow model do much, much better. For simple things like "how much infrared light and in what bands does CO2 absorb" we can measure that in a laboratory and have it nailed down.

Team efficiency (and conversations with the same people along the entire stack) is the first good argument in favour of JavaScript -- technically in favour of TypeScript -- and I can stand behind that.

As long as we agree that siloing is not a problem everywhere. It's all about the people first, technology second, or that has been my experience at least.
How about:

3. Dollar devaluation through expansion of the balance sheet even further.

The BoJ balance sheet is about 100% of GDP. The Fed balance sheet is about 30% of GDP. That gives a lot of room to add assets before the US looks anything like Japan in that department.

This balance sheet expansion could happen against a backdrop of stock prices that would otherwise be falling. Expanding the balance sheet through stock purchases allows the Fed to correct the global dollar short squeeze while preventing calamitous stock repricing at the same time.

Nominally, things wouldn't look much different to those in the US. But in real terms, the result would be crushing. It seems, however, that politicians and many voters only consider nominal returns, not real returns.

This is one of the reasons I find it hard to believe people who claim the Fed is "out of ammunition." We're at the level of bazookas now, but the Fed has everything from that to nuclear ICBMs and more to play with courtesy of the dollar's reserve currency status.

I'd be interested in reading the story of how all this was done.
Agreed. It would have been better for them to back Julia as it was already a language for numerical computing. And it has an LLVM backend. With Google's backing Julia could be way ahead of where it is now.
Just today telsa sold 10000 cars in the Shanghai factory in March and Tesla stock jumped as result. I have a feeling that with Europe and US in continue lock down, China is going to support a huge number businesses. Looking at a number of Western business, all cite china has a very important market. Everyone of them earned a ton of money from that market. Some manufacturing will leave china, but if business want to access that market, they will continue to be near that market meaning involve China as part of the supply chain. On side note, ccp and China has brought a lot to Chinese people, wealth, stability, and education. 800 million was lifted out of property in the last 30 years. Chinese middle class is more than the entire US population. As a Chinese person, I no longer has to worry about whether I will have enough food or clothing. Nowadays I am interested which iPhone I can buy and which Nike shoes I like. To say the government doesn't care about the well being of the citizens is dishonest at best. All of this has given and will continue give a massive opportunity to foreign business. Hundreds of billion of dollars of cooperate profits per year. If we cut earnings from China out of companies on SPY, how much is the stock market valuation is going to drop by? So next time if you want to bash and vilify China and ccp using fake news, think about how much China and ccp contributed to your retirement fund. I have more than happy to discuss China and it's policies using facts, data and reason. But it's the smearing and vilification using fake news I cannot stand. And of course it's not perfect in anyway. Internet information regulations and media control is one of them. But I feel people outside don't really understand this country and it's government. They say the government oppresses and doesn't care about the people. Yet a majority of people feels the complete opposite in their daily lives.
A big non starter in my opinion is that JavaScript doesn't even have proper numerical types. Everything is a float.
It's owned by Russians.
Some of the PPEs were paid orders placed on Chinese private companies, of course they will have to be paid, since they are being purchased. This is not to be confused with donations of equipment.
One reason people don’t trust China’s aid is that the shortage is caused by China.

They bought up the worlds supply of PPE (over 2 billion masks) and nationalized factories owned by foreign companies (such as 3m) so their masks produced stay internal.

It’s almost as if I cornered the food market and then when people were starving I start selling them food but disguising it as a loving donation. People can see through that

> However, they become less opaque as you learn the Swift ecosystem

IMO that's essentially the problem. Most people* don't want to have to learn the ecosystem of a language because it's not their focus.

The other issue is that when you start googling for information about the Swift ecosystem, you're not going to find anything relevant to academic, mathematical, or data-science programming. All the information you will find will be very specific to enterprise-grade iOS and macOS development, which will be a huge turn-off to most people in this community.

Let's say you implement a Facebook-like social network (think something like Elgg). If you really need the benefits of decentralization, is waiting a few minutes for your post, profile update, file upload, etc. to go through that big of a deal?
It's important to find the balance between letting your other engineers design and implement the more interesting and challenging problems, and also making sure they don't get in over their head.

Sometimes tech leads (often rightfully) assess that they are the best engineer in the room, so they should tackle the hardest problem. I don't think this is a good idea most of the time!

Giving ownership and autonomy is often one of the easiest ways to increase someone's productivity, so let your team take ownership of the parts of the project they are interested in.

Often a tech lead might end up having to take on the least fun tickets, the drudgery, yak shaving, etc. while the engineers working under you will get assigned work that has more prestige/glory. This won't go unnoticed, and will be appreciated by your team.
For me, the best thing I got from this critique was the link to this 2018 talk by Evan:

The Hard Parts of Open Source, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_4EX4dPppA

I found Evan's talking style really entertaining and enjoyable, and I totally relate to the first part about "why don't you just..." and "have you thought about delegation..."!

The HN comments here are near uniformly negative towards Elm and supportive of Luke's criticisms. Fair enough, it's a reasoned critique and those are definitely issues that would affect users.

I found the critique informative and useful. I don't use Elm though I've watched with passing interest for a while. Now I feel there are gotchas or expectations I should be aware of if I'm considering using it, about the way the project is heading.

But I felt it came off way more entitled than I'm comfortable, mainly when Luke starts moralising, placing ethical obligations upon Evan.

That came over to me as "you are obliged to do a lot more work that I want you to do, on your own time and personal cost, and to stop developing the project according to your own vision or you are a bad person".
