I agree. From the article:

hospital they were admitted to.

As someone that goes to every thread about the French study to highlight that it has no real control group, I'm morary obliged to point here that this study has no real control group (in spite it has somewhat the oposite conclussion).
Ok, that's funny.
Also of note (from my understanding) is that git lfs local repo is double the size of the underlying data because it doesn't hardlink.

Sure, but something like Java already has to be compiled. Throw a few more minutes in there, maybe run the test suite a couple thousand times.

The IDE will autocomplete selectKeyword but not "select".

Other type systems, like TypeScript, support string literal types, and in Typescript we generally would just define the keyword type to be a union of string literals and then use those string literals in the code.

But without string literal types, using a string constant gives the compiler more information it can use to make sure your code is correct. That's a useful thing to have.

I wouldn’t pay a cent. Foxconn isn’t delivering on its promise. Put the money towards something that will matter. UW funding cuts should be reversed. Build some infrastructure (e.g. fiber, bike trails, high speed rail, solar and wind) and get Wisconsin moving forward.

This market is not known to have sold bats and by all accounts it did not. Consuming bats is a southern thing not a central thing.

Your theory also doesn't along with the evidence, that the first known cases had a significant population with no known connection to the market, 27 with connection, 14 without; and that other than the market there are no other obvious connections. If it were just some hawker you'd expect a much stronger connection to the market. And over a longer period.

What does 'telling a color apart' even mean? I did a mini project some time ago, where I basically did some custom color quantization (it was to reduce an image into a configurable amount of discrete colors, to make a pixel quilt with a manageable amount of distinct fabric colors). So I used CieLAB colors to calculate the 'visual distance' between the available colors and then recursively merged colors until I got to the desired amount. But even a simple algorithm like that, it turned out, could be implemented in several way; each of which gave different, yet equally 'valid' results.

My point being - it's very hard to give a simple, unambiguous meaning to seemingly simple concepts like 'what is a color', 'when are colors the same' and 'are these two colors more similar than those other two'. There is a lot of abstraction between the physics of light and representations of color e.g. on a screen, or in fabric, or when printing.

Chinese style factories in the US are not going to work. See American Factory on Netflix.

Factory work should be safe and no more than 8 hours as well established, maybe even less so there can be more jobs.

If anything Chinese style management of production needs to care for workers more, even if products cost more.

Innovations can be made other ways than making people into slaves that never see their family, live a life and have a quality of life at work and time away.

Happier people are more productive workers and need less time to produce the same as crunched, overworked workers. Everyone in game development or engineering knows this. Just pressing the gas does not lead to the best results, an ebb and flow and research and development of mentally prepared, rested workers is key.

Apparently, there are a couple of mega wealthy properties ($2M-$20M) near me made over 20 years ago that have never had anyone live in them ever, as supposedly banks financed them for foreign businessmen but were never repaid the mortgages when said businessmen fled the country along with their debt obligations. At least this is the story I was given, after buying a car from a caretaker of two of such properties - one of which I was very familiar with, as it had a prominent observatory built in its roof...

But that story checks out, as when the market crashed ~2008, the FED bailed underwater mortgage assets (such as these supposedly) off banks hands to avoid bank runs via QE. You can see that mortgage-backed securities still comprise a significant portion of the FED's balance sheet:

LLVM has a pretty decent walk-through/tutorial for building an LLVM language frontend. I know it's in the article but this is definitely my go to for helping people learn about using LLVM.

Not by any means a tutorial but Rust has a guide for understanding their LLVM compiler frontend. It has some useful insights into what actually makes up a real "production grade" compiler outside the stuff in the LLVM tutorial.

Yes. Costs of power sources have frequently increased as a function of penetration due to regulations, NIMBY, realities of technology, etc. You're assuming renewables will do the opposite. While popular, this is unconventional. Japan building 22 coal plants right now proves the point.

Serious studies I've seen say 30-50 $/MWh delta is required to deal with reconductoring, storage, recycling, load management, etc.

Nuclear has to standardize and serialize to play. If they don't do that they're out. But if they pull off another France of Korea or Japanese ABWRs its game on. You're also assuming that will not happen.

If you assume nuclear will never improve and other sources will, sure nuclear looks bad.

>Clearly 'too big to fail' banks are a national security issue and lend to massive value extraction events and recessions as they gain.

I'm not too convinced whether a breakup would accomplish that. Smaller banks are less capitalized, and therefore be less able to absorb shocks than big banks. You can see that almost all the banks on the failed banks list[1] are small local banks (although this might also be because bank sizes follow a power distribution, it would be interesting if there was a bank failure rate that accounted for market cap). Also, what's preventing all the banks from engaging in the same risky behavior and all requiring a bail-out? If the government won't let AIG fail, would it let AIG01,AIG02,...,AIG99 fail?

>Also, the local monopolies of ISPs have led to rent-seeking and less innovation.

The problem with ISPs aren't that they're big, it's that they hold monopolies over a geographic area limiting consumer choice. Breaking them up will do nothing, as each company post-breakup still hold a monopoly and therefore can continue to abuse consumers.

What usage this article is talking about? For a server? For a desktop environment?

For servers, me and my colleagues use Linux, and not being able to use Docker is a tough call, our workflow is very Docker-centered. I know that Jails exist, but it's not just about containment, it's about packaging, building and deploying too, and having ready-made tools (and a lot of existing Dockerfiles) for that.

For desktop, I use macOS, and I'm not willing to change if it worsens the experience, which I suspect it will do.

I wonder what would be the killer use for FreeBSD today? I'd be eager to try, since I'm eager to try all kinds of stuff, but I fail to find any place I could easily stray from my current OS combination.
> They didn’t seem to hire best-in-class bankers nor lawyers.

Even if they had, is it likely that those people would have told them it wasn't a good deal? My sense is that everyone on the inside thought this was a sweetheart of a deal and were already counting their eggs. And if recent history is any guide, that group of people might very well be the least concerned about whether truth was being conveyed, or care to look deeper into the matter than their own pocketbooks.
I think in the case of telling two colors apart, it's can be as simple as presenting them side by side, and seeing if someone can distinguish a difference.
I question whether it is ultimately cheaper, if all subsidies were taken away, the natural resource extraction and transportation costs are considered, the relatively short lifespan, e-waste and intermittent generation all taken into an account. I don’t know but I think what we see as “cheap solar/wind” is about as illusory as “cheap gas”. I’m not saying nuclear is “cheap” but relative to its reliability, productivity, lifespan balanced against its footprint, waste, etc, I’d believe that it were cheaper and more beneficial for all in the long run that wind/solar/tidal solutions. There’s a place for renewables, but replacement of fossil fuels seems like too big of an ask.
> Interesting I haven’t had a single negative response to my idea which worries me a little.

For what it's worth, I don't understand most of the objections either. From what I can tell, peoples' main objection is that intentionally spreading a live virus that is thought to produce only mild symptoms might go wrong and kill people, whereas injecting people with a tested vaccine is safer because the "fault mode" is only that the vaccine might not work, but if properly tested it's unlikely to directly kill anyone.

This is probably technically true, but I feel like it misses the bigger picture that way you find out that your vaccination effort was ineffective is that your supposedly treated patients start start dying from a deadly disease. And that any time you wait to test your vaccine is more time that people are dying from the lethal wild strains. The right question (in my mind) is which approach has fewer total deaths, not whether the deaths are caused by a positive or negative failure mode. But perhaps these outcomes are sufficiently distinguishable that only the vaccine approach is politically feasible.

The other frequent objection, which I also don't really get, is that using a low-harm strain that is found is the wild would not actually be any faster than waiting a proper vaccine to be developed and tested. Intuitively, and conditional upon finding such a strain in the wild, this seems like it must be false. But maybe those who are objecting understand the regulatory environment better than I do, and realize that there simply is no way that observational testing will be allowed to substitute for a controlled trial?

I feel like the right objection (which I really haven't seen) would be that for some technical reason the existence of a mild strain is so unlikely (or unstable) that it's not even worth spending the time looking for. But I don't see how one can start from the premise that such a strain might exist, might be easy to find, might have a sufficient track record to establish its safety, might be stable, but not be worth looking for.
(it’s actually also straightforward to write a recursive descent parser directly on the char stream w/o a lexing step.)
I've found that the best way to learn LLVM IR is to write C code and compile it to LLVM IR to see how Clang does it.

Documentation, in my experience.

> They haven't listed what's actually technically better about it than in systemd. (not subjectively)

From experience, documentation and bugs (mostly due to age, but still absolutely relevant). I have about a billion questions about why systemd is built the way it is but I suppose that's a matter of taste and who paid to build it.

> Jails as described in the article, have the same features as lxc.

Documentation as always with the linux/bsd comparison. In addition, LXC—in particular cgroups—is still quite young and unproven. The major benefit here is the docker interface enabling easier deploys and an image specification format, which freebsd still lacks.

Honestly, the documentation alone is enough to move me over to BSD—linux is basically the wild west, and you often discover undocumented behavior (is it a bug? is it intended? ask developer xxx on the mailing list.)

Not really, you have to take into account a renter’s ability to pay. There’s an upper limit to what people can afford to spend on housing. Risk dictates a low percentage of the overall factor in pricing.
I don't view any of this as having to do with business risk, as the article dealt primarily with who had standing to sue, not about the actual practices/policies of Square.

However, as a matter of Bankruptcy law, purchases made with a credit card with no intent to pay back are not dischargeable by bankruptcy courts. Sometimes any purchases made just prior to bankruptcy, and especially any abnormally large purchases are not considered dischargeable, and in some cases are presumptive fraud. I think this is where the prohibition against credit card use for bankruptcy lawyers comes from. [0]

There's still "lookahead" in a hand written parser. The lookahead is decided case by case.

Performance penalty only comes if we backtrack in our hand written parsers. I don't think we usually do that.

Any glimpse of top-down parser would be simply too slow.
But wouldn't a simulation be simulating the laws of an "actual" world? Why would the actual world have such a cost? Oppositely, if the actual world had such a cost, that's equal evidence that we are in said actual world.
That’s a good perspective. Unfortunately without being cheaper, the nuclear energy doesn’t crowd out fossil fuels without being subsidized.
