Hey man, just had a play with it there, love these kinds of things!

Here's some notes I took:

- Is there a reason the verification email isn't sent out automatically on registering?

- New project should maybe directly open the project? Basically get people into playing with the thing asap. Maybe some demo tracks already there to tinker with too?

- I think most of this is pretty intuitive to anyone who's used any music software before but the collection of loops listed at the bottom confused me initially, I was like "what's this L0 button? why doesn't it do anything?" I dunno if Svelte (which is what my devtools are suggesting is used, might be wrong) has anything like it but something like `react-joyride` as an opt-out initial screen to help onboard people could save you some time dealing design side stuff.
I used elixir for the backend and its paid off in dividends. That said, I had a year of experience working with it so it was boring technology for me at that point.

Yes! I remember how incredible it was to actually see my friend typing in the same window as me way before Google docs. I miss that.
You decide your opinion on the leaders of your company based on unverified bogeyman stories on a message board? Oh boy.
I have more than a few friends trying (and failing) to register for unemployment claims because the websites are jammed up.
By Tandem do you mean the YC-backed virtual office startup (https://tandem.chat)?
He famously likes to emphasize the "enterprise" aspect of Red Hat's product offerings. Red Hat is not an open source company - it's an enterprise software company through open source development. It's a really big difference.
It doesn’t tell me which or his opinions he thinks are backed up by accepted definitions or what he considers an accepted definition. So no, it doesn’t tell us anything. It sounds more like a weasel word to get out of providing citations to back up his arguments.
I would love to have a 3DFX->GL plugin. Also, some optional JIT, but that breaks Bochs' philosophy. If it was X86 focused, it would work as DOSEmu. Fast but without falling into the virtualisation trap.

As a curiosity, I tried NT4 under Bochs and Unreal Engine based games worked well... albeit at 3-4 FPS. That emulated under an AMD Turion64 from ~2005-6.

Bochs emulates a VooDoo and 2/3 are WIP, so in a near future it mayb be an easier to setup alternative to PCE/Box86.

A Ryzen probably will be able to push Deus Ex under Bochs with no issues at all.
Well there is tox and other protocols that work through Tor network
This kind of thing and the pulling of HKMaps are the main reason I'm running Android again. Being able to run apps on my phone that my government won't allow in an official app store is looking more and more likely to be an essential freedom.
Probably not what you're looking for, but pretty interesting. TwoSigma has the Halite AI challenge where people submit competitive bots[0]. I've wondered if you can spin up your own server and just compete with friends

Whoever came up with the name “junk bonds” for high-yield corporate debt was a master of propaganda. The truth is, the bonds the Fed is buying are more like what Ben Graham would call “senior securities with speculative features” (although classically that referred to preferred stock) and really aren’t that different from the BBB-rated bonds they were buying last week. (Indeed, they’re buying bonds that were investment-grade until a couple weeks ago.) These aren’t contingent claims on a company’s assets, like Alphabet stock or a S&P 500 index fund, they’re senior claims, which are structurally and legally less risky than equities, if not actually less risky than every equity security.

Personally, it seems to me that if you’re not willing to let capitalism work itself out in a crisis, you should stop pretending to have a capitalist system at all; Norway is a pretty entrepreneurial country despite being a certain shade of pink. But the arbitrary dividing line between “investment grade” bonds and “junk” bonds is not some Platonic boundary between “safe securities” and “crap.” It’s there for complicated historical reasons which are perfectly reasonable to ignore during a crisis caused by an unforeseen and unprecedented economic slowdown.
E2EE is not an absolute must at all. Telegram does pretty well without any e2ee for everything but rarely used secret chats (and I've NEVER had a person initate a secret chat in telegram with me, other than to check "huh, what's this?"), and they are doing quite fine.
Maybe he was talking rate? 2T seems off the charts if you're talking the normal events, looks like 2008 made it jump 1T to 2T in 2 months. This jumping 2T in 1 week is a little off the charts.
That seems a little bit simplistic for today's workflow as there's chances you'll need to to restart php-fpm anyway, discard/refresh some cache (Doctrine metadada ...), maybe update your composer / vendor directory and its autoloading files, maybe run db migrations and more.
> I recently heard Sam Harris opine that from a utilitarian perspective, an absolutist right to privacy pales in comparison to allowing harm to come to children, and so the tech community needs to flex a little on the privacy question, and meet law enforcement halfway. Through that reductionist lens, it's hard to find fault in the argument.

I'd say it's pretty easy. For utilitarianism to make sense, it has to take the future into account. And what looks like an absolutist right to privacy might be a utilitarian argument of the type that if you grant a monopoly of power (private or public) the right to make use of your private information, then it could well use that private information against you later.

An integral utilitarian might then say "it's worth some harm to children today to ensure there won't be great harm tomorrow". That kind of being able to trade off different scenarios of harm without regard to absolute principle is pretty much what characterizes (act) utilitarianism.
Considering that nowadays the average website is clocking in at dozens of megabytes of obfuscated JS and/or WebAssembly, I'm looking forward to lightweight and snappy native applets as an iOS alternative. Hopefully Apple enacts a hard limit on size.
David Kenny ran Watson for a couple years.
DISCLAIMER: I work for Red Hat Consulting.

Red Hat almost doesn't sell RHEL by itself anymore [0][1]. RHEL is lumped into OpenShift, Quay, OCS, OpenStack, RHV and more often than not sold along side Ansible, Tower, JBoss, AMQ, Fuse, DecisionManager, etc. So, the revenue streams are being bundled together which makes it harder to tease out which product is pushing the Total Revenue line. Our integration with IBM might make that even harder to tell since they love to bundle everything into Cloud Paks [2]. You can review our 10Qs to understand our Revenue performance.

What do you mean we lack differentiation? From who or what? Microsoft? AWS? Google? Canonical? SuSe? Apple? VMware? Pivotal? Docker?

When we got acquired, we were the first $3B Open Source company with double-digit percentage growth [3]. And I think there is a brawl going on for big Corporate IT Cloud $$$. You might make the case that Red Hat was completely outgunned in a scenario where a $3B company wanted to compete against $100B companies (AWS, Google, MS, IBM).

Nobody here is advocating upvoting articles about Harry and Meghan. Your error in reasoning is almost as bad as saying we shouldn't upvote Medium articles at all because a lot of articles on Medium are about frivolous hobbies.

You are advocating upvoting articles from blithering conspiracy theorists just because part of the article has something that is based in science. You should have just submitted the actual science article instead.
> Wait until resolution improves and we break out of the "desktop" paradigm. We could have a collection of unlimited windows and tabs that exist in a continuum around us, and we could use gestures to organize and surface the contextually relevant ones.

You can get 90% there by just using multiple desktops IMHO, at least that's my experience.
I think the point is that ockam site requires a flexible layer to manage its data, which is focused mostly on .md documentation files. So Storing, updating and managing these files through a database could be quite hard and annoying, since all of them are stored across many different github repos. Moreover, all these files, have to be shown in a user-friendly way. This data from .md files, have to be converted to HTML at some point as well.

So what we have done is we keep all data on their place ( depended github repos ), grab them before build time, and generate static content based on it. Moreover, we have some mechanism to target particular branches/commits on depended repos, and control when we want to trigger our pipelines.

So, replaying directly to your question - no, building a static site not require a database. JAMStack architecture is helping us to provide and manage our specific data sources.
I was in FIRST in high-school. It was a great experience and we were on the alliance that won the Detroit competition in 2018, so that made it even better.
You should look at how these clinics are funded.
It's a tug of war between two camps:

1. The virus has peaked, we'll start to see global economies open up again, everything will be back to normal soon

2. There will continue to be lots of peaks all around the world for months/years to come, the economy will not resume like it was before, for many years.

Personally I think things will be stagnating for a while until we get a therapeutic or a vaccine.
Never take the arguments of a side from their opponent's mouths.

The arguments I offered have nothing to do with any of the three he claims they all boil down to.

If you think I made one of these three, please tell me which one so I can clarify the argument.

Assuming it's a side effect of processing- known as an epiphenomena- immediately commits you to answering the question- does a badly programmed computer have a form of consciouness? Does a thermostat have a primitive form? Is it specifically impossible to create AI which emulates human thinking to the last detail, but has no consciouness, i.e. really is just an empty machine with zero experience? Is that an impossible task which could not be achieved by anyone by any means?

Suppose I debate with someone who has a computer programmed to be conscious. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to very very slightly change the programming so whatever output it's producing which is proving, my opponent claims, the computer is conscience, starts to degrade.

I'm going to do that then ask my opponent- still conscious? I'm going to do this and I'll guess my opponent will say "less so perhaps" , which would be his best reply.

Then I'm going to repeat until I get a "probably not" and then a "no" from him, which by his own hypothesis has to happen.

Then I'm going to diff the conscious program and the unconscious program and ask him if he really thinks those slightly altered lines of code are the difference between consciousness and a humdrum computer.

Because that's where this goes, this idea that a certain type of computation is consciousness.

It also goes to consciousness being granted to a machine like a Turing Tape. You may not think that squishy biological matter should be bequeathed with a "magical" property which hosts consciousness, but tell me, how do you feel about a Turning Tape?
I think a better way to look at this is not as domestic supply chains, but diversified supply chains.

There may be reason to encourage domestic, especially for certain kinds of things, but I don't think it needs to be a huge push into trade isolationism. There are lots of industrialized countries we can do business with, and lots of countries with lagging industry that might be improved with increased trade or investment in whatever industry they do have.
If you're a Republican, realize that your party actively undermines democracy when it restricts voting or engages in gerrymandering. And there's no excuse for that whatsoever.
Statistically priced in? Huh? I doubt that.
If anyone here is interested in helping to develop E2E encryption that cannot be shut down by the government here is my effort towards that end:

https://github.com/Spark-Innovations/SC4

The project has been moribund for a while because it's hard to compete with Signal but it wouldn't take a lot of encouragement for me to take it up again. First on the agenda is adding a ratchet. Most of the heavy lifting is already done (https://github.com/rongarret/ratchet-js) it just needs to be integrated. I also have an iOS app that was kinda sorta working the last time I tried it.
I'm not going to say you're wrong. A number of very loud voices have argued essentially that about broader academia. However, I think it's an argument essentially captured in the term "ivory tower", which began being used for academics in the 1800s. It's a pretty old argument.

Personally, I think it's exactly the opposite issue. Academia became too involved in social conflicts and found itself in the crosshairs. Think about what else was happening in the 70s-80s? Lots of social unrest, especially involving young students advocating radical ideas. What easier thing to attack than their radical schools, teaching them that reality doesn't even exist?

But more to the point, let's assume your argument is true. Academics can't really go back to the positivist position. Many of those results were trash. We don't want to stay with postmodernism either. It's not total garbage, but math is way easier to verify than some dude's stupid interpretation of some other dude's random babbling. Plus, you can make computers do math really fast. You can't make a computer analyze text in a postmodernist framework (yet). So, over the past 30ish years what you'd probably want to see is what's been happening: Academics finding a bunch of middle ground between the two where they can still be productive, without losing the human side of PM.
The ratio of monetary and fiscal policy is off and it will be until we more fully embrace MMT. However, allowing massive employment engines to fail is not going to solve wealth inequality nor encourage investment in green solutions.

That kind of reminds me of the military ordering fighter jet seats for an average fighter pilot only to discover that no average pilot existed and everyone was outside the expected range in one catagory or the other
Put the source aside. What specifically is worse about this proposal than the current approach? A safe and effective vaccine is likely several years away. The economy can't be locked down for that long. The virus is too easily transmissible for containment and contract tracing to be effective. So most of us will be infected eventually. If they're going to get it anyway then doing so in a controlled environment might be a good option for some volunteers.

I'm not endorsing this approach, but we ought to at least analyze it rather than rejecting it out of hand.
not that good of a course, from someone who already did it
This is pretty good. Typed in "$spy 1000" and it said r/wallstreetbets (100%). Accurate.
I feel you man. I live in Spain and we have been in this since the 12th of March. I live alone and it's horrible.

It's a total nightmare. I'm not even sure what's the point of living anymore. The virus can't be that bad.

I really miss walking in nature, there's mountains nearby and I always walked there to clear my head. Now the walls are coming at me.

I really wish they would let us go out but with care (observing the 1,5m etc).. Like in other coutries with more sane politicians. This is extremely cruel. I'm sure it's very safe and all but this is killing me inside too.

Literally if this lasts a few more months I will not be able to live with it.

The first few weeks I spent time cleaning up and doing some online learning but the constant state of extreme anxiety makes this impossible now. I wish I could just go in a coma for a few months (or years, however long it takes).
Interesting. What do you mean that our immune system is without par?

Do we have a better immune system than other primates and other animal groups?
No really. They are math themselves. Algorithms have nothing to do with implementation. The whole CLRS books algorithms are written with pseudocode. By your logic Turing machines and many other models of computations are not math. Just something is imperative doesn't mean it's not mathematics.
Not sure what you mean, but iPads and iPhones are high end portable devices in a market in which Apple holds a dominant position.
It may not be true for a niche field. It is true broadly for computation in academia.
“In short, the economic costs of this collateral damage are incalculable.“

I find these statements frustrating. Any estimates will be imperfect, but that doesn’t mean it is worthless trying to judge the costs to help make decisions.

For a first order estimate, compare expected reduction in years of life for (a) effects of economic hardship, versus (b) getting virus. Use years not dollars, to help avoid the knee jerk reaction to most economic analyses.

For a more fine grained estimate, start adding in estimates for quality of life, externalities of death, etc.
Expression BrainFuck(string code) => Expression.Constant(42); // parser would go there
var bfFunc = BrainFuck(@"arbritrary code").Compile();
WriteLine(bfFunc(someArg)); // <- prints 42

As I mentioned later the difference appears to be that Julia does `Compile` call at compile time, thus giving you build-time validation.

P.S. this exact code won't work, but it shows the idea.
For those not familiar with US politics and culture, California is the the most influential on both.

Trends that start in California go nationwide in about 5 years.

So take what Governor Newsom says very seriously - it's a crystal ball.

Historically, the Governor of the State of California also has an outsized shot at being President. Reagan is one example, and the only reason The Terminator didn't run is because of citizenship requirements (he was born in Austria.)

You can bet President Newsom is in our future.
Agree - just used it today to mash together 5 videos of my family saying happy birthday to my sisters. Worked great, and a really fun result.
That is insanely trivial with img srcset
No, I keep a very mercenary mentality when it comes to projects. I’m told what needs to be done and I do it and get paid for it. Early on in my career I cared too much, and it brought nothing but unnecessary stress. I will never sit down and watch a redux stack trace, it’s not my job and I got better things to do.
Most of what the teams do at a competition isn't actually on the playing field but for what is done there it's largely run by human operators in real time from control computers connected over Wi-Fi so you can't really send the bots without sending the team.
It depends on the prospects of the company and how good investment opportunity are. For a company in a fast-growing market it’s probably better to invest and expand the empire. For a more mature company it’s probably better to return the cash to shareholders so they can invest somewhere else.
The first one. At least as of last year, Swift4TensorFlow's goal is to go from Swift -> XLA/MLIR -> GPU kernels.
When I decided to commit my project to Elm, back in 2017, I have seen all those writings on the wall. Basically I am buying in someone's whim. One caveat is that I can stop following his whim, freeze source code that I need and carry on my development with out needing or caring about future releases, ie, I do the dreadful fork.

I work alone so I choose my tech destiny.

But when you look at the guy at which will you are submitting to, and can't but say he is the everything I want from a COMPILER MASTER. He have designed clean and well working language and ecosystem around it.

This is the ecosystem where you are not afraid that one of library's dependencies might install crypto miner or steal your user data.

You are sure with like 99.99999....% that you won't have errors in runtime.

And language is simple, my wife started writing it, you only need to know to structure the code and all the frontend power is to you.

Ad hominem - also Evan is soft spoken guy that cares about his life's work, and sharing it with others.

Ad hominem on my side - I am sick of ALGOL languages. After 12 years of proffesional work with many different languages, touching JS or anything related gave me head aches, such inherently stupid and inefficient ways of building systems, from syntax to /ways of doing things/ and making sure they are /allright/.

Luke may have different ambitions than me, I wanted to build reliable systems that brought me money, for me, after 3 years of Elm, I am happy as I can be.

I build new features with confidence and speed. It took me 3 days of work to switch to 0.19. I have deleted big chunks of JS that I though were necessary in order for my app to work. But I was wrong, there were pure way to do it. That was rewarding mental exercise for me, after which I had cleaner code, and customers noticed performance improvements.

Can language /be better/? Yes.

Is Elm at the point where think it desperately needs some improvement, because of which my work is blocked or stalled? No. It wasn't like that since 0.19.

Luke is off and rude in this post at least. He is considered about the posture of OSS not the real benefits of it. Why Luke didn't came up with big blog post about the features he would like to see in Elm? Much more constructive than bitching about it.
Why do you think the tax payer is on the hook? Where do you think the Fed’s money comes from?

The fed’s balance sheet impacts people who hold dollars, not people who pay taxes.
Long delay, but I just saw this: the availability of loans well below “natural” market rates encourages consumption now, because you can just take out a honking big loan and you won’t have to deal with the consequences for a long time. I.e. it inflates effective time preference.
I don't see any reason why state governors should sit around waiting for the federal government to provide masks and order emergency actions. The governors are empowered to do those things, and it's their job to do so.

In fact, California used to have a huge stockpile of medical supplies, put in place by Arnold (a Republican). It was abandoned under the Democratic Governors, and disposed of.

> What the interviewer obviously wanted was an explanation of a particular physical phenomenon targeted at the level of someone without any background in physics.

How do you know that? I would claim that it's what you expected and even if you received that (as quoted before!) you double down on showing the dissatisfaction in what preceded that explanation, namely, Feynman explaining that the "satisfaction" impression of every answer depends on the already existing knowledge of the person who asks.

But the answer was completely honest: there aren't any intuitions about electromagnetic fields present in someone "without any background in physics" which would allow the decent (non-cheating) answer.
