Hey bud, my four year old asked a similar question to chkaloon. I couldn’t answer it because I didn’t know and your answer really helped me explain it to her. In the four year old’s wonderful little parlance, you are ‘a really cool dude’.

You’ve joined people like her grandma and grandpa, a ‘pleese ossifer girl’ who wrote me a speeding ticket and gave her a tattoo, and her paediatrician in the realm of ‘really cool dudes’. In my wildest dreams, one day I’ll become a really cool dude too. :)

Seriously, thank you. You made today’s home daycare really really cool. And you’re infinitely less expensive than the ‘pleese ossifer girl’ so you even get old dad bonus marks.

Edit - If you happen to work in a role where an absolutely glowing thank you letter from a very happy parent would help your career, my email address is in my profile.
Homelessness is an effective way of hiding the symptoms at the cost of hiding the whole human from society. How many homeless lives are in the historical record? To the extent that they are referenced at all, they will appear as beggars in the background of some wider historical event.

You can beat symptoms out of someone if you don't care whether they survive the process. Then you have no people with visible symptoms around cluttering up the place.
Its not formal english though. The British informal equivalent would be 'you're having me on!' or 'you're having a laugh!' or (rude) 'you're taking the piss'
What bs.
There's plenty arguments against it but people act like it's some arcane thick book with legalese written in runes.

I'm confused as to how they do the sub domain takeover.
>Yeah, I didn't think you knew who you were criticizing, or even had the curiosity to google them.

I was being sarcastic. Either way you shouldn't worship people. Everyone is infallible. Clearly Scott made an editor and clearly that editor is inferior in every way to photoshop. You can literally do the same thing with Brushes. Maybe viewpoint was revolutionary for its time, but no longer.

>Why I'm not pissed off at you at all, and I don't mean for you to take any of this personally

You are pissed off, and you took it 100% personally.

>Well I'm sure it proves your point, whatever it is, and definitively wins your argument, hands down. Who am I to question such extreme self confidence? I graciously concede. Congratulations!

My idea could be a piece of shit for all I care. I didn't share it with you so there's really nothing to talk about.

The topic at hand is viewpoint and how viewpoint isn't even turing complete. Viewpoint can't express any logic so it doesn't even fit with the overall topic of this thread: Visual programming languages.
WW1 was also different for the troops experiencing it because of the technologies involved.

There was a whole discussion here a few months back about how the WW1 battlefield (blasted trees, churned mud, etc) has shaped our expectations of what battlefields should look like. Before that, the battlefield itself was mostly untouched. Shell shock was a new phenomenon for soldiers from WW1 because it was a new experience for soldiers - artillery barrages just hadn't been that intense before.

Ancient hand-to-hand combat would have been horrific. Never mind trying to survive, just actively trying to hack someone else's body up with a sharp tool, when they're right there, would mess you up pretty bad. If, as TFA says, every able-bodied man in your entire society has experienced this, then every able-bodied man is going to be messed up.

But then, if every woman has gone through multiple stillbirths, child deaths, and so on, then everyone is going to be messed up. What they'd consider "normal" is what we'd consider as "struggling with deep trauma".

I think you're right - everyone would be traumatised by modern standards.
On Killing[0] covers some of this. The author argues that extended demob times in WW2 helped; supposedly, this is why people leaving Iraq and elsewhere end up "doing nothing in Kuwait" for weeks on end cleaning equipment.

Chris: So, I talked to him.

Mitch: You did?

Chris: Yeah, and he used to be the number one stud around here in the 70’s. (whispers) Smarter than you and me put together.

Mitch: So what happened? Did he crack?

Chris: Yes, Mitch. He cracked, severely.

Mitch: Why?

Chris: He loved his work.

Mitch: Well what’s wrong with that.

Chris: There’s nothing wrong with that, but that’s all he did. He loved solving problems, he loved coming up with the answers. But, he thought that the answers were the answer for everything. Wrong. All Science no Philosophy. So then one day someone tells him that the stuff he’s making was killing people.

Mitch: So what’s your point? Are you saying I’m going to end up in a steam tunnel?

Chris: Yeah.

Mitch: What?

I am not even sure they learned anything. And it is the same reason I dont understand why everyone is chanting Vulkan. It is the same /similar story with OpenGL vs 3DFx Glide.

Sadly, yes, a free society sometimes demands a heavy toll. We should try our hardest to find ways to bring that number down, and when this is over we should work hard to improve our response tools so the price of the next pandemic isn't so high.

I think you may be misunderstanding my perspective. When someone proposes remote quarantine of all contacts of 30k/day infected cases, or shelter-at-home for the next year, I react as if they said "forcibly infect everyone below 65". If you sit down and do the math, sure, these policies will significantly decrease the death rate below the baseline of an uncontrolled pandemic. But they have the critical flaw that they're weird authoritarian control fantasies, which fail to respect the general public as anything other than bodies which must be optimized for their own good.
Thanks, I will look into that. Good idea!

Fun story: some guy in China emailed me about five years ago that he was translating my old Java AI book and placing his name as the author. He said sorry but there was nothing I could do about it. It was strange, but I appreciated him being up front about it. My wife and I had recently returned from a fun trip to China (very friendly people, lots of interesting things to see) and to be honest I didn’t much care.
> The question is rather how many companies that pre-GDPR stored my data in ways I (as a technical person) would consider unsafe, or used it in ways I would consider "bad", that have changed their ways.

My local bank has, post-GDPR, started adding Google Analytics to their logged in client section. I've complained to them ("but we use anonymizeIp()") and to the data protection officials here in Germany ("how did you even see that? Can you explain again what is the issue?" and then they dropped silent).

Nobody cares. Really.
The problem is that Vulkan's power comes from specificity: in other words you can plan your resources and executions for exactly your use case which gives great performance with little overhead. The trade-off is because everything is so hand-tailored, it's very difficult to generalize, so just copy-pasting an implementation is only useful if you want to do exactly the same thing.
What I don't like about the GDPR is how it handled cookies. We could have much tighter control and explicit consent at the browser level, which makes sense because it's a browser feature.

Instead of something useful like that, we have annoying popups on millions of websites.
I meant about the debugging tools that OTP ship with. There is nothing in this about messages or function tracing dynamically. Even less about the kind of introspection you get with it.

I totally agree with your points, i am just pointing that it seems they do not seem to know that this kind of tooling are even possible.
Even butchering livestock for food, more or less a routine household chore in the past, is sufficiently alien today to most that it would likely cause PTSD if they had to do it.

Give your operators the ability to explore the system free form with these kind of tracing, dynamically, on production systems. It helps a lot. And yes that will need a lot of work in current runtimes.
yes this is my current predilection, but I can also concede that there are limitations in getting the truth of the matter.

One sentence that should have been elaborate on a bit more to mirror/complete the article’s approach: “For a sense of scale, a solar panel gets around ten thousand times this, or 100 Watts per square meter.”

Solar power has the same problem of terminal optimism as the proposed raindrop energy harvesting: in short, the source 1300W/m^2, all factors considered, becomes a real world 13W/m^2. Better than raindrops falling on my head, but still way less than most people comprehend.

I mean it's nice that it's transparent and even opt-out. But would be interesting to see the stats of how many people click the details-link on pages like https://www.elle.com or even http://techcrunch.com.

My hunch is that its way less than 0.01%.

Imho it would been as effective, and much nicer, if they could just assume consent and have a setting accessible via the footer. The small small percentage of people caring about it enough to be bothered would find it as easily, and the rest could just go about their day as before.

Light, a mixture of why a thing is the colour that it is?
As well as why reflection would be angle of incidence is angle of exit.

My current understanding of colour is that the colour of an object is defined by the ability of the electrons in the compound jump different energy levels. I don't know if that in itself is enough to result in all the colour we see.

My current understanding of reflection is that because of wavyness of light when lots of light gets absorbed (to my understanding a single photon exciting a single electron to jump some amount) and reemited (the electron falling back down) together the light ends up forming that angle pattern. Under than understanding single photons don't bounce in the same way rays of light do?

I don't know how correct either of those understandings are, but my understanding has been put together from so many places and I've never heard any source explain either like that so I don't trust they are correct.

GLSL. Maybe Intel Integrated works better with Vulkan, but 8 bit floats were a hardware choice. The only way to "support" them would be to throw warnings/errors or kick back to software emulation.

Yeah, I think it entirely had to do with my inability to relinquish control and "just let go". Although in this context, that was literally what felt like the fight to survive, instead of "being chill". Ego death commonly is either the most horrendous or most nirvanic thing depending on how readily someone gives in.

> when your sense of self has been obliterated and the next moment you are in the body of another mammal lost and confused in the forest for an entire lifetime before being transported back into your body and only a minute has gone by - but your trip is to last another 9 hours, should you fight it?

There was a lot of this, during that out-of-body-period. I existed in multiple places/points in time at once as different people of various ages/genders/nationalities and then occasionally as animals, and lived entire simultaneous lifetimes. At one "time", in places + times A, B, C, D as different living things. Really does a number on your sense of self for a bit, heh.

From Erlang's perspective, debugging an average distributed application is just like being primitives hunting in the forest directly after graduating from college.

I mean, there's even no parameter in the call stack, people can only guess instead of knowing things for sure.

Of course, there are more important things like remote debugging in Erlang. To fix a production issue is like fixing a plane that is malfunctioned and crashing:

For average language and runtime, the plan is to take a guess, then develop a theory, build a malfunctioned plane according to the theory. If it's not having same issue, repeat previous steps until people rebuild a plane having exact same issue as the crashing one. Then fix the plane having the same issue, and apply it to the crashing plane.

For Erlang, the process would be, examine the malfunctioned plane to see where the problem is for sure, directly patch it in place to make it usable again. And then build a real fix, applying it without restart anything.

Tools may not be the most useful things in the world but they definitely could be game-changers sometimes.
The first couple of paragraphs of the documentation for asyncore, the module in Python's standard library that implemented the machinery for async IO all the way back in 2000, has a great description of what async programming is all about. Here it is:

https://python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/library/asyncore.htm...

'There are only two ways to have a program on a single processor do “more than one thing at a time.” Multi-threaded programming is the simplest and most popular way to do it, but there is another very different technique, that lets you have nearly all the advantages of multi-threading, without actually using multiple threads. It’s really only practical if your program is largely I/O bound. If your program is processor bound, then pre-emptive scheduled threads are probably what you really need. Network servers are rarely processor bound, however.'

'If your operating system supports the select() system call in its I/O library (and nearly all do), then you can use it to juggle multiple communication channels at once; doing other work while your I/O is taking place in the “background.” ...'

Automatic reordering of fields is great, but sometimes people know more about how they will be used (like frequently accessed groups of fields, or leave some fields in the first 256 bytes so a u8 relative index could be used to save space), so manual reordering still exists for a reason beyond packing.
On the other hand a lot of people today can watch super intense horror movies which probably would have traumatized ancient people.
I think it's still mailman (sorry, I'm not happy with this situation either).
I mean if all you want to do is dip your toe in the water with GPGPU programming OpenCL is probably honestly a fine place to start. Specific knowledge of the OpenCL API is probably not the most useful thing in the world, but you will learn a lot about the basic concepts about how the host and the GPU talk to each-other, and how the constraints of GPU programming are different than CPU programming, all of which will carry over to other technologies like CUDA or Vulkan.

You could also get started with a simple Vulkan compute example, but as others have said learning Vulkan is a task unto itself, so if you're just playing around and you're not sure if you really want to invest in learning it for something valuable, it might be more of a time sync than you're interested in.

The new book would not be a “variant”, it would be a completely different book. To gain the expertise needed to to a good job with the new completely different book would require that I spend years studying Raku and thinking about what would work and how to make it work well. Even once I knew what I wanted to write about in HOP, that book took five years to write.

Even if someone were to pay me full-time to do nothing but produce a Raku book, it would still take me at least four years to do it.

I'll take the counterparty to your claim. My counterpoint is that you don't need to build to do any of what I'm laying out. You can validate the market for what you're trying to do with content, lead generation forms and spreadsheets. My point is that it _doesn't matter what_ you build if you don't perceive the right customer need and react to it appropriately. At least for me, it's very easy to focus more on building something (because it's fun) than it is to go back to the drawing board if an idea isn't good enough (because that's psychologically exhausting).
