You can see it as a community agreement. When I travel with friends we agree to pay each one a lunch, it is way faster than to pay individually. But, I agree to do it because all of us agree. If Im the only one, the it is problematic.

Except that you and your friends agreed to do this voluntarily. I want to shop at Amazon and I don't want to pay for a government alternative that's a sop to obstreperous and uncompetitive local retailers. I'm buying your lunch twice.
There is no difference in terms of how much memory apps will be able to allocate before getting killed. But there will be a significant performance difference once apps start using more memory than the 8GB that is physically available (of course).

There is some evidence schools, and young children, are not spreading the disease. In SG, which did extensive contact tracing early on, there were no clusters associated with schools (apart from one where the cluster was in staff who had minimal contact with students). The early super spreader event from an SG conference resulted in a Covid-19 positive child, and not one case was attributed to this person. Anecdotal, not rigorous, but still evidence.

Apple Watch designer reveals the device’s origins on its fifth birthday
This may be a dumb question...

To my knowledge, the reason no “real” terminal exists for iOS is because it violates the App Store rules. It is prohibited to download and execute arbitrary code, with a few exceptions.

One exception is JavaScript, which must be run inside of JavaScript Core [1]. What if someone simulated x86 and Linux _in JavaScript_ and then built a terminal and file system on top of it? Would that be in accordance with the App Store rules (since it would be sandboxed in Apple’s JS core)? Would it even be technically feasible? Or too slow for any serious usage?

[1] from the App Store rules:

4.7 HTML5 Games, Bots, etc.
Apps may contain or run code that is not embedded in the binary (e.g. HTML5-based games, bots, etc.), as long as code distribution isn’t the main purpose of the app, the code is not offered in a store or store-like interface, and provided that the software (1) is free or purchased using in-app purchase; (2) only uses capabilities available in a standard WebKit view (e.g. it must open and run natively in Safari without modifications or additional software); your app must use WebKit and JavaScript Core to run third-party software and should not attempt to extend or expose native platform APIs to third-party software; (3) is offered by developers that have joined the Apple Developer Program and signed the Apple Developer Program License Agreement; (4) does not provide access to real money gaming, lotteries, or charitable donations; (5) adheres to the terms of these App Review Guidelines (e.g. does not include objectionable content); and (6) does not offer digital goods or services for sale. Upon request, you must provide an index of software and metadata available in your app. It must include Apple Developer Program Team IDs for the providers of the software along with a URL which App Review can use to confirm that the software complies with the requirements above.
I have a friend who was very interested in investing in this space, and did some research.

TLDR, even though the tech is probably mature enough, the economics just aren’t there for private industry yet. It’s require major state-level funding to get it off the ground at this point, IMO. Very similar to how solar used to be.

First, tidal turbines are very specialized pieces of hardware (compared to wind turbines), that have to survive corrosive brine for a decade to pay for themselves. There are not many competing manufacturers, and they are expensive. The wires connecting them to land are also expensive, both in installation but especially in maintenance. So the up front and ongoing capital expenditures are relatively high, and there isn’t an economy of scale like there is for wind turbines and solar panels.

Second, there aren’t as many places that are well situated for tidal as you think. You need a basin of relatively shallow ocean, close to metropolitan power grids. There are only a handful of places like this in the world (around the UK, India, Australia), and developers would require a lot of work to get approval to develop this space, compared to solar or wind, where permit-seeking has relatively well-trodden path.

That would be fine, and we’d still be in business, but third, when you compare it to the opportunity cost of investing in a more traditional (or even “renewable”) power plant of a similar output, the story really falls apart. The ROI for the builder just isn’t there, and it makes way more sense to build solar or wind farms.

Some forward thinking governments are trying to help the ROI angle by providing subsidies on the generated electricity, but as a developer this is sketchy, because you still aren’t breaking even until 5-10 years, even with subsidies, and subsidies themselves can be politically fickle. When you combine this with the uncertainty attached to the turbines being relatively bespoke technology (compared to the commodity of wind turbines and solar panels), it makes sense why we haven’t seen more development here.

It’s kinda dangerous as you might know rockets and missiles operate on the same principles ?

The fact that null != null (and NaN != NaN) is, to me, a helpful reminder that the mathematical model behind SQL is not as simple and elegant as newcomers would like it to be. It reminds me of the classic "proof" that 1 = 2, based on simple algebra:

https://www.math.toronto.edu/mathnet/falseProofs/first1eq2.h...

If even basic algebra has a trap like that, then all of us need to be prepared for similar traps.
If you really want an ARM64 based development platform, why not get a Pinebook? Or something like the NVIDIA Jetson Nano? The philosophy of Apple is to link against their officially provided frameworks/SDKs. It's not meant to be a platform for open development.

> patterns for large-scale project design and code structure

I would be particularly interested in this. The OP has a chapter on "Program Structure" but it seems like more a toolbox of language constructs.

It would be nice to see a book that went through a few archetypes of common JavaScript programs (command-line script, daemon, enhanced webpage, single-page app) and gave a basic blueprint for what parts are needed and how they interact.
You'll be happy to know Caddy will have a deb package in the next release (albeit not part of official debian repos), see https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/pull/3309
I generally share your criticism, but my overall experience has been positive. Dask indeed requires some fiddling, and it's API and documentation has some blind spots, but I've successfully used it to scale up some Pandas code to run on dataframes measuring in the tens of GB. Being able to transfer my knowledge of Pandas and NumPy so readily makes Dask's speed bumps worth it.

"Perception is reality." - Lee Atwater, Republican political strategist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Atwater

"Sauron, enemy of the free peoples of Middle-Earth, was defeated. The Ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever, but the hearts of men are easily corrupted. And the ring of power has a will of its own. It betrayed Isildur, to his death."

"And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge."

Threads like this one, and many others like it, well demonstrate the precarious situation we are in at this level. Imagine the state of affairs around the average dinner table. Although, it's not too infrequent to hear the common man admit (which is preceded by realization) that they don't know something. As one moves up the modern day general intelligence curve, this capability seems to diminish. What the exact cause of this is a bit of a mystery (24 hour cable propaganda and the complex dynamics of social media is my best guess) - hopefully someone has noticed it and is doing some research, although I've yet to hear it mentioned anywhere. Rather, it seems we are all content to attribute any misunderstanding that exists in modern society to Fox News, Russia, QAnon, or the alt-right. I'm a bit concerned that this approach may not be the wisest, but I imagine we will find out who's right soon enough.
Its cool to visualize a little bubble around the Solar System that represents the 100 or so years we've been emitting radio waves into space. The signal would be very faint (power falls as 1/r^2) but visually if you zoom out on the milky way its a tiny little bubble around our system that barely reaches into our home galaxy. It's a humbling visualization.
and it gives a lot of false positives and false negatives...
Linux++ (April 26, 2020)
Wow, any chance with a few MooCs in physics I’ll be able to understand this better? Or it needs years of study. I’m worried about the math mostly (Ms in CS, but I got Bs in all the math classes :))
Neat! For games, it’s really because they want to emulate a cinematic look. Some filmmakers use chromatic aberration and other optical phenomena to great effect.
>R now uses a stringsAsFactors = FALSE default, and hence by default no longer converts strings to factors in calls to data.frame() and read.table().

Yea!
The "Ethnic and national feuds" section seems like it gets a certain point across: things that seem silly in current context were extraordinarily important cultural touch-points at one point, and could well become so again. E.g., the U2 Irish/UK thing. Easy to laugh at today, but equally easy to understand why to some people at some point in time nationality difference between Irish and UK really mattered. Most flamewars are just real arguments that happen in the wrong time/place/tenor.

OFC some examples are clearly just the product of either drugs or a bad week, or more likely both.

Kind of like reading slashdot articles about "websites", hacker news articles about "capitalism", or newspaper article comment sections about "immigrants" in the late 20th/early 21st century. Or whatever. You get the point ;)
> That's incorrect. The only crime that could be a valid reason for using the data is a breach of the emergency biosecurity laws

You haven't fully understood what I tried to convey. Whilst it is true that the data can only be copied from the data store for a restrictive reason, such as ensuring the security of the data store, once it is outside that store, it is no longer protected by the limitations.

So this sequence of events is possible, and legal:

+ Data store data is taken off site for a legitimate reason, such as validation, by the correct department.

+ The police upload from a suspect's CovidSafe app, as a matter of policy, to help protect the public.

+ The police issue a data request, such as under the recently passed AABill law, from the Health Department.

The protections around the data only refer to it in two ways: App data, when it is on the phone, or when referencing it in regards to the Data Store in Canberra. Once it leaves, it is no longer protected.

The definitions refer to the data in terms of location, if that location changes, then it's out of those protections.
> I’ve seen ads for products I would have never bought, because I never knew they existed, and wound up better for it.

Such as?

I can't recall myself purchasing anything [just] because of an ad, or knowing anyone else who did, or even seeing an ad for something I was interested in.

Everything that I've spent money on, has been discovered through manual search, word of mouth (on online forums), voluntarily subscribed newsletters/feeds (like a favorite developer announcing a new game or app) or random recommendations algorithms (like these clips of Mortal Engines and Ultimate Chicken Horse that I just saw on YouTube, or featured spots on the App Store, Steam, iTunes etc.) which I guess may count as a form of advertisement but they show me what a product is actually like.

I found Quantum Computing Without The Physics epicly helpful. https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.03684

It explains in terms a computer scientist can understand. As in: it sets out a computational model and explores it, regardless whether we can physically realize that machine.

Hope this helps!
I think a more apt comparison would be how many solar systems away we are. I calculate we are only 143-4550 solar systems away, depending on how you define the solar system (using the orbit of Sedna or Neptune as the radius).
Abiogenesis. I understand that this is not considered understood but I'd be interested in hearing a qualified scientist talk about how we get from "dumb" matter to self-replicating, goal-driven matter. The closest I've ever heard anyone get (in a personal conversation) is that chemistry is about transformation, so "dumb" matter isn't really dumb in the sense that it's static. Still lots of hand waving to get from baking soda and vinegar volcanoes to me typing this question, however.

What's the playing field look like for proto-life? How "smart" are the simplest molecular interactions? What does almost-replication look like? Could we use a computational model for this?

Not sure how much of this is known, but I'd love to hear an expert paint a picture of their mental model of the subject.

I took 300ug of LSD recklessly on a particularly bad day for me, in a particularly uncomfortable setting.

Well, that night went bad. Really, really, life-alteringly bad. For the first time, I had a bad trip. And not like, some mildly uncomfortable thoughts. I got a bad feeling in my stomach from the moment I dosed, and I knew something was going to be different this time.

As I started to come up, the bad feeling and a dark presence grew, and I pulled out my phone. I started a timer, and I watched as the time slowed to a point where it completely stopped. I started looping, I would get up off the couch, walk a few feet, and be teleported back. Over and over.

I realized that I had gotten so high, that time was no longer moving. And if time was not moving, I could maybe never come down. I was stuck here forever. And then the hellish nightmare started.

I felt like I was losing control of myself, like something else was trying to take over, and whoever won the battle, that is the consciousness that would exist. The more I fought, the more painful things got. Pain the likes of which I no one can physically imagine.

Went upstairs and laid down in my bed, began going out of body. I started dying over and over in unimaginable ways in my head, trapped in loops. Pain beyond anything I've ever felt in reality, there was no limit. It was tied to my breath, I realized that it had been so long since I had breathed, I kept forgetting who I was and what was going on, and then I would catch a slight glimpse and remember and fight so hard to take another breath. And there was so much pain in fighting to "survive" and hold on to who I was.

Eventually, the pain/struggle became too much, and I "gave in" and said "okay, I give up, you win, I can't take it anymore, I'd rather die." And that's when it's stopped. There appeared this giant shape of light/energy that was every color at once, and colors we don't have words for, and it "touched me" (could have been me moving towards it, or it towards me, there wasn't really a concept of this).

When it "touched" me, what it "showed" me was something I later learned is called an "Ouroboros", the snake eating it's tail. It showed me what "infinity" really meant, and that was too much to handle and shattered my psyche.

In that moment my body/mind/soul felt like it was obliterated to pieces by some energy beam in the most excruciating, searing pain, and I woke up in my bed having just pissed myself.

It took a long time to piece myself back together after that one.

There are a lot of details I've omitted for brevity's sake, but this captures the gist of it.

The majority of my trauma has to do with anything related to loops: think Nietzsche's Eternal Return, general time-loops, fear of time-stopping, etc.

When I have panic attacks I have to stop myself from starting a stopwatch on my phone to make sure time is still moving because it'll cause a feedback loop and ratchet-up the panic, causing the time-dilation to increase in a vicious cycle.
Love the detailed explanation. Thanks. Once I saw Boeing at $120. I thought to myself. That’s dirt cheap and should buy. So I hit buy at market and lo behold I bought for $130. Wait! Whaaa! Did the exchange lie to me ? That day I learned a very hard lesson that there are infact two prices. Ask price and bid price. I wasn’t paying attention.

Now I try to always put limit orders. I put sell for Boeing at $150 with “good till cancelled” option. One morning I wake up to see they’ve been fulfilled. Wohoo! But the price had dropped down to $140. So I cashed in on the spike.

The market is crazy. I still don’t understand if. P/E ratios for some companies are through the roof (100+), why are people still investing in them like crazy? We don’t have a cov2 vaccine, millions of people don’t have jobs, why did the marker recover half it’s losses already? Shopify, Amzn, Zoom. WTF! Their charts seem hyped. Or may be I’m just plain wrong and don’t understand the fundamentals.

That's the "there is some wizard in the Internet that did it so many time they can get away with half the tools" part ;). The vacuum chamber is also required only for ipad/iphone/touchbar/apple_watch, not most macbooks.

IMHO, most of these projects end up with "I will totally do this" -> "I am blocked for now, but will come back to this tomorrow" -> "I don't want to lose parts, so I will put the pieces in a plastic bag and 4 ziplocks" -> "I need to move this out to clean my desk" -> "2 years pass" -> "what is that bag, oh, my broken laptop" -> "I will never finish this, there is some room in the trash I need to fill".

/me Looking in from of me and my old ThinkPad W541p stares back at me in pieces. (and yes, I dismantled it yesterday to replace the screen cable and cooling unit. Only to find out the new cooling unit has the wrong connector and fan voltage scaling despite being "a factory part for the W540p")

edit: The last time I did a MBP board was my 2007 Santa Rosa 15". I actually did reflow the GPU with a heat gun, but this was very scary. You move even a tiny bit and kiss the board goodby. I wish I had a reflow oven (I still don't have one big enough). BGA reflows are a nightmare.

>Oh, it looks like we have ourselves a classic "idea guy"! I've met a whole lot of people like you before. It must be hard getting a job in such a crowded field, especially at a time like this.

It's just a fuzzy idea. Not a business idea. I don't see how I can make any money off of it. Also I'm not the type of guy who can get other people interested in working on it. Likely even if I do build it myself and open source it one day it won't take off without external support or luck.

>So that's a no, you've never heard of Scott Kim or Donald Knuth or Xerox PARC, right?

No who are those guys. Never heard of them. I only know about Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. That's all I know.

>I can see you have excellent soft "people skills", and it must be a delight to work with you.

Yeah I figured you might get pissed off. Note that it was nothing personal, and none of my comments (other than the sarcasm above) ever deviated from just attacking the idea. I was just extremely direct with my criticism. I attacked the idea, but inevitably as all people are... if I attack the idea, the person behind the idea feels he's getting attacked too.

I tend to be more direct on the internet to cut through all the politics as the consequences of not playing the game on the internet are not that serious.
