Obviously, nobody cares if the data that makes up your FB/Twitter timeline or Google search results page is less than completely reliable. The new problems people are trying to solve with horizontal scaling and distributed computing may well be "fun" for users and developers alike, but fun is quite different from generally worthwhile.

Agreed, and I was disappointed about xi-editor's approach of using an RPC so any language can be used for extension. For all its issues at least elisp is ubiquitous, and contributes to feature discoverability.
My wife works in biotech in Cambridge Mass, and the rumor is that Moderna is the next Theranos, and I heard this a couple years ago. So much so her PI recommended she not take a job there after grad school. Zero products and a thousand employees. This vaccine is also exceptionally good timing for their next equity raise, along with the CEO aggressively selling his stock.
Some of these are arguably "incorrect abstractions", but others are just design decisions that are being treated as "incorrect" because they don't follow Haskell's design sensibilities. A perfect example is the complaint about sum in Python:

>>> sum(["a", "b"], start="")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: sum() can't sum strings [use ''.join(seq) instead]

I don't think this is incorrect at all! There's a very good reason to use join instead of sum for adding strings together: join is a lot more efficient than simply adding strings together, because it will precompute the amount of space needed for the resulting string at once and then put all the strings into the buffer at once, whereas using sum in the naïve way suggested would do a different append for each element. These are just different tools for different purposes!

Could you design a sum that automatically looked at its argument type and deferred to join for strings? Sure! And that'd be a valid design decision as well. But the specific choice Python made here is motivated and defensible: it's only "incorrect" if your personal definition of "correct" is "built with the same algebraic sensibility that Haskell's designers had," but at that point, all other languages are "incorrect" because they're not Haskell!

They were actually doing that. Microsoft Access inherited many of the productivity features of Excel, such as filters in the column headers. It was great.

Where they dropped the ball was the core engine and capabilities.

What people wanted was quick & easy way to produce HTML5 forms and tables, but with the power of a native GUI app.

Meanwhile, Microsoft was removing features from Access, such as the SQL Server based "Access Data Projects" (ADP) mode, which was much more scalable than the legacy Jet database mode.
Per the second one it sounds "relatively straightforward" but also "not really worth maintaining upstream."
The title is misleading.

This isn't DirectX on Linux. This is DirectX API access for WSL exclusively. It will lock ML projects into Windows/WSL for the price of access to the DirectX API and at the expense of development of other projects like Vulkan for native Linux.

Most mathematicians work on areas that interest them, ie. alone or with a colleague in another university.

Never heard of anything systematic involving "the best minds of the world" outside perhaps military projects, and some cooperative research is being done on forums now.

Comparing math and Open Source software development is kind of strange and not helpful.

Walmart has been running on Jet tech stack heavily as far as supply chain side of things is concerned.

Both the distribution centers and the technology driving them have been integrated with Walmart systems early on after acquisition and many current and future developments in that area are based around formerly Jet tech written in F#.

That's not going anywhere.
Yeah that's a fair point. So the security is worse in that sense, so many ways to leak it. It'd be insanity to put sensitive info in the query params either way. It's just not the appropriate place for them.
Like any other bootstrapped business you’d start off small so that you don’t need to ask anyone for a loan. In this case, that might mean partnering with a distributor of shipping supplies and doing drop shipping direct to the customer or something similar.

How? For example code that uses CUDA on Linux, calls the GPU CUDA driver, which passes it on to the Windows part of the interface. How does that require user code that doesn't run on normal Linux to take advantage of this?

For an actual example of a single transaction floor in a functioning financial system, the pricing of Euro TIPS transfer system (https://www.ecb.europa.eu/paym/target/tips/html/index.en.htm...) may be relevant, where the bulk cost for transferring money between different banks in different countries is much less than a cent per transaction, €0.002.

There's some overhead at the sending/receiving institution as well, but it has a similar order of magnitude (0.0005-0.005€/txn mostly depending on your scale because of the fixed costs); the total cost for a proper interbank transfer is less than a cent if you do things right. The price is mostly determined by other factors, not the cost - it can be (and often is) zero for competitiveness purposes, recouping the costs from other services, or it can be something like the same 30 cents as the original article lists if someone is willing to pay that.
They are paying a handful of creators who have leverage. I don't think they're making any changes to their per-play payouts.
Yeah that would be incredibly useful for testing policy in a simulated environment before releasing into the wild :)

One of the hardest challenges is "How do we choose realistic parameters for how the virus spreads? Infection duration? Mortality?"

But if we can incorporate the latest research and Monte Carlo simulate with ranges for the above parameters and find policies that are robust against those parameters, I think it would be an enormously powerful policy tool. Additionally, I think it could bring transparency into the decision process, something the public lacks.

If you want to contribute to the effort I started, the simulation code is open source at https://github.com/jinpan/covid-simulations. The engine is in Rust, which is then compiled to wasm.

Heh. I also wonder if Jordan's mentality would have let him take full advantage of the 3. This is pretty much just conjecture, but it's hard for me to square staying out and playing the math on 3s with Jordan's aggression and insistence on beating people.
I'm not sure I follow. What I meant is that a benchmark over a specific task is not really informative without a comparison of why it is slower in some languages compare to other.

He's pretty against it on a number of fronts.

That being said I don't see why distros like Ubuntu that allow non free code wouldn't ship with it out of the box. They already support Nvidia binary drivers anyway, so why wouldn't they support a transport bridge that'd let people use them on WSL too?

Also, he notices that it's intended to be more than a bridge in the future, as they're already working on integrating it with the presentation layer on Linux.

This is common. I literally had to take Icelandair (another really terrible budget airline) to court because their engines don't work (really old planes)

Not only did their system have me logged in another flight in another continent (!), they flat out denied I had a claim even though I had to stay put more than 24h, a good amount of that in the plane.

After getting sued, they tried to backhand contact me (not my lawyer) to pay compensation.
Court made them pay.

This is all calculated.
I agree with your overall point, but regarding your “could you design....” rhetorical: in that example, isn’t it already inspecting the type of the list elements and then doing a specific different thing (printing that message) if it happens to be a list of strings? Why not just go one step further and just do the thing instead of nag the user to do the thing?
No, some other local site. Was a real bummer, and pretty sad business practise if you ask me.

I would hate to have microtransactions on the web, could you imagine paying to see every webpage? It doesn't even have to be a large amount, just the psychology of free versus paid is quite powerful to compel the user to not use as much for fear of overspending. I can see it being useful for small transactions such as services but not in the general web.

Disclosure up front: I was homeless for about four and a half years at one point, and I'm from San Francisco.

On the one hand, I can't believe it took a EXPLETIVE DELETED pandemic to get San Francisco to do the simple, cheap, obvious, humane thing. On the other hand, thank God we're doing it now.

Most homeless people who aren't actually mentally ill, who are just having a hard time, just need a safe place to keep their stuff, sleep at night, and clean themselves and their stuff. If we provide that they can get back to being stable productive members of society on their own.

We can also identify the folks who need more help due to mental illness and/or personal problems.

It also helps to keep drama, petty crime, and drug use low when you have "entrances that are monitored by officials 24 hours a day."

And it helps with the pandemic too!

> The Safe Sleeping Village model is being piloted as a short-term, temporary method ...

Let's hope "short-term, temporary" means "until we solve homelessness" and not "until we feel safe kicking everyone back to the curb", eh?
Heh... that reminds me of my favourite troubleshooting story!

We had a customer with regularly failing tape backups. CRC errors, verify pass failures, even failed writes, and so forth.

We replaced the tapes with new ones. Same issues.

We replaced the tape drive with a new one. Still the same problems.

We replaced the internal ribbon cable and the SCSI controller. No luck.

Firmware flashed everything. Didn't help.

New server chassis, wiped the OS and reinstalled everything from scratch. Changed the backup software just in case. The backups still failed!

Literally no part was the same. I went on site to start looking into things like the power cables, the UPS, or vibration issues. Basically were getting desperate and grasping at straws.

I was sitting down in an office, casually chatting with the IT guy while we were waiting for 5pm so we could reboot the server. He's leaning back in is office chair, and he casually picks up one of the tape cartridges and throws it up in the air and then catches it before it hits the ground. Just playing. Over and over.

I asked him if he does that a lot.

"Yes, it's fun!" he answered.

Once in India I took a taxi to the train station. I paid the driver and went inside to catch my train.

Ten minutes later while waiting in the station, the cab driver found me and made me replace a bill that he claimed I had given him that had a hole in it. He considered it worthless. Relatedly, it seems that stapling money is a pretty common way to organize bills there. I'm not sure how the two facts coincide.

An interesting example of the opposite is the Lebanese pound: the central bank somehow managed not only to keep operating but to maintain the strength (stabilize the exchange rate) of the currency through the civil war. I believe the head of the central bank moved into the bank and didn't leave for years.
From the sibling comment seems like I had the right idea. The main restriction I was thinking of is what technology was used at the time. The SR 71 used film for imaging, and the CCD array was developed later on and probably wouldn't have enough sensitivity even if there was an early prototype. You'd also need an InGaS(?) detector for SWIR and I'm not sure when they first came out.

For this application you want as sensitive as you can get, since you want to detect minute differences in background intensity. That points to a big ole photodiode.

Hence why I suggested that they use an off axis sensor to do online dark subtraction. Locally if there was no star, the diodes should give you the same intensity. If a star enters the field of view of one, but not the other, then you have a detection. It's more complicated than that apparently, but the idea is sound.

From the patent it actually looks like they use some kind of optical chopper and a single diode. A chopper is a disc with slits cut out, in the fold of view. If there's a star that doesn't fill the field of view, the chopper will give you a periodic signal as it rotates. If the sky is empty then you'll get roughly the same signal all the way round. (from a quick skim)
As someone with an Etsy shop this got me excited for a second, but unless I missed something, this is just some sort of link from your FB Page to some integrated shop? We use Etsy because we get all these sales from people using it to search for stuff, but I guess if we only have 80 people and spend no money on FB ads or trying to grow our page, this is essentially completely useless as we already have links to our shop...

We were hoping this was some sort of shop built into marketplace that was curated or searchable or something, since we've had some success selling on there, but it's a complete garbage pile and dealing with people is awful and doesn't scale very fast. People flake out like crazy, no way to manage messages well or anything. Missed opportunity.

Maybe for Instagram, having a shop built into your profile could be awesome instead of saying, "link in profile" then having your user search for the product they say starting at your site homepage.
