Derp! Yes, associative.

Lots of equations are quite sensitive. You don't need PDEs. The original Lorenz equations are only three ordinary differential equations - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_system#Overview , and that's enough to give chaos.

> Ideal practice would be to correct for these--a thread-safe RNG, an unsafe RNG per thread, seed saved in output files for restart, etc.

If you want to reproduce a simulation (assuming it doesn't have issues like IEEE math ordering), then you need to repeat the entire simulation process.

You can't expect that steps A + save checkpoint + B is the same as load checkpoint + B.

If you want people to be able to reproduce from a checkpoint, then you need to do step A + checkpoint, then exit, the run checkpoint + B. That makes "A + checkpoint" as one reproducible and "checkpoint + B" another.

Perhaps that's what they did? I don't know. I only read that single issue, plus HN commentary. And that issue doesn't appear to highlight anything novel or unexpected for this sort of simulation.

> they hedged with "might"

Yes, and that's the mentality drilled into researchers. Because perhaps that code is wrong.

But the internal RNG state difference seems much more likely to me.
I would suggest any monolith ddd application for a solo developer.

Since microservices ( kubernetes, docker ) require a constant DevOps investment.

An example would be this:

As someone who is a heavy user of RSS feeds (check my cryptography RSS feed[1]) and has had to implement RSS feeds for my websites:

1. we need to move away from XML. JSON would be a much better modern candidate.

2. we need better support in all web-first programming languages, and possibly in web frameworks.

3. we need to have a stricter set of rules on how to use HTML5 tags like articles, sections, and such. An RSS feed shouldn't have to be manually produced when a crawler should recognize modern HTML5 tag and produce one on its own.

It's simpler than that: the desktop OS has become irrelevant, Google is a big threat to Office (assuming they will finally get their heads down, iron out the kinks and invest heavily into Sheets). The bulk of the home users out there now run their OS with one goal: to start up their browser. Desktop software is a thing that still exists in the business realm but there too cloud based services are making huge inroads.

So the future is the cloud, but not Azure, that's just a hosting facility which MS can't complete concede to Google and AWS from a paranoia perspective. But Docs hits them where it hurts, and if it gets any better then outlook->gmail and office->gsuite becomes a real threat.
Slightly off topic but I always found the fact you are required to add race and ethnicity to the federal firearms transaction record 4473 surprising.

The official reasoning is to aid law enforcement tracing firearms in crimes.

The rest of your comment here highlights why I believe freedom of expression is so important. Society would not have progressed if it were not for people brave enough to defy those social norms. I guess the intolerance for alternative points of view has not changed, but over the past ten years or so we have seen the establishment of an entirely new set of sacred social norms, which I would characterize as a bit of a regression.

It's quite possible that you have a machine with 192 CPU cores in it, but it's very unlikely that you are able to write a service that scales to that level ... and if you write it in Go it's really unlikely that you can scale even to 8 CPUs. There's nothing weird about having multiple replicas of the same job on the same node. If you look through the Borg traces that Google recently published you can find lots of jobs with multiple replicas per node.

I had a similar issue with refusing to give a podiatrist I saw one time my SSN.

The rationale was, prior to getting a surgery once, I was asked in pre-op to review my EMR information by the nurse. The info was completely wrong and very dated. I asked the nurse where the info was from since I had never been to that hospital chain before. Her comment was an affiliated urgent care I went to years ago was in their medical system. But the brand name was different because they were acquired. I was pissed. What if I had been rolled in unconscious and that EMR record was meaningfully inaccurate against my wellbeing?

So now it raises eyebrows but I refuse to provide any nonlegally required info. And to OPs point the response is one of almost mocking surprise. But the counter argument is, why would I trust you to not sell my data going forward? What if I'm wheeled into a hospital unconscious and your medical records from 20 years ago somehow cause me harm? Absolutely no way.
Good point! Rent is like 12-13% of our countries entire GDP, which is kind of insane for just people paying others for owning a piece of land.

If a high (but arguably appropriate and fair) land value tax was implemented and captured like 8-10 % points of that, it would fund like 70% of the government.
I wrote a FIX engine in Common Lisp once, working for a Norwegian retail broker. Worked like a charm for many years, connected to multiple market places and brokerages. Adapting to new counterparties was certainly a bit of work, but generally far less than implementing their binary protocols. (We tried that too from time to time, usually if FIX was not an option from the exchange. Admittedly rare i later years.)

Unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to open source it, and it’s now lost in the void after a takeover. :(

Good luck to you. It’s not an impossible project. :)
Made me think of the Dancers at the End of Time books, although they're more philosophical than sci-fi.

Military is actually a great example for LVT.

If you mean defence part of it. Invading other countries is likely profitable for select groups so who else should pay for it if it gets approved.

But let's focus on defence. It's not that much individual people, who need protection, because they can flee to another country in case of war.

What actually needs protection is property which you cannot take with you. And voila that happens to be real estate (locational value).

So who should be footing the bill for defence more than owners of land who are desperate for its protection when shit hits the fan?

Similar argument can be used to justify LVT for funding of other protective services such as police and firefighters.
Nearly every single one. In college, I probably used close to a dozen different web applications for assignments. Math, chemistry, engineering, biology, Spanish.

I can't remember the name of the web app for my calculus homework, but this was the only one I kind of liked, and ironically it was free. I think it might have been webwork. And in a CS class we used Perusal, which I liked as well, but the grading was an awful black box.

The others cost several hundred dollars, sometimes per semester. I remember the immense frustration of my Spanish professor, who sent an email to their support at least once a week. Their answer was always "We only support Firefox"

That did not stop dozens of students from using Chrome and Safari, myself included. I remember once getting frustrated with the homework, so I wrote a little JavaScript to brute force a question. The security was generally awful.

My fondest memory was using Github to submit assignments, and later as a TA to grade these assignments. Much less friction.

Obviously, I think college professors are looking for a way to reduce their burden of creating assignments and grading, but these education giants put out poor quality apps, knowing they'll generate revenue regardless.

Frankly, I think there needs to be a widespread effort to open source education. Both content and assignments. There is no justification to charge tens of thousands in tuition and top this off with a few more thousand in jank software.
They're far from harmless, with Github in their arsenal now they can make or break open source projects the world over. All it takes is a policy change and we're back to square #1.
I think the best sleep advice I have gotten for general insomnia (that I've used some) is to live life like bootcamp

- Always wake up at the same time (like 7AM)
- Immediately exercise outside (wakes you up and helps fight fatigue)

I've also had anxiety cause or exacerbate many physical symptoms that cause poor sleep. Namely heartburn, frequent urination, and other issues. Seen so many specialists for these things, but the causality is always shaky and anxiety IS something I have at least some influence over, so I focus on that, and it helps a lot...

But of course your mileage may vary, just sharing what helped me
UI is a program geared toward optimizing payment speed, with fraud looked at as something that is addressed via audit. Historically most fraud or bad reporting can be addressed by capturing future benefits.

With the unprecedented load being placed in these systems, you’re going to see things like email and sms used more, which enables new paths for fraud. Pandemic unemployment is also geared towards gig economy workers, which again is a new frontier of fraud.
Can you explain how it isn’t?
The main purpose of government is providing infrastructure like roads and bridges, as well as enforcement of property rights and security through police and courts, as well as through healthcare and armed forces.

You get all of that without this hyothetical ID. Unemployment benefits is somewhere much further down the list. It could be argued to be a security measure both to keep the crime rate lower and to prevent an uprising from disenfranchised poor people, but it serves this purpose just fine even if a few people voluntarily opt out.
Curious snippet of code from the official macOS chess app

No, but QA is necessary for security. If they're letting through bugs that cause crashes or product misbehaviour, then they're also more likely to be letting through security issues.
I think it depends how you use it.

One of the things I enjoy doing on Twitter is posting up something I'm working on, and then clicking through to all the profiles of the people who like, comment, or retweet my work. I stumble across an incredibly diverse range of people by doing this, many with conflicting opinions to my own, and many who belong to strange subcultures that I don't understand, but who were all drawn to my work for one reason or another.

I think there's definitely a danger of crafting a bubble for yourself if you choose to use it that way, but as a tool for discovering people making cool stuff who otherwise wouldn't cut through the noise on something like Google search, I haven't found anything better.
Georgism was proposed in a time before we invented zoning, which was a system explicitly motivated by racial and class segregation. The Supreme Court case that made it constitutional is explicit about wealthy land owners having the right to exclude the poor from living in apartments nearby.

So we need additional correctives to the additional injustices that capitalism has invented since Henry George's time, like our NIMBY-promoting land use decision system. We could, for example, adopt something like Japan's more federal system.
> Your editor was very fucking wrong.

The editor is completely right in what they were saying. You just want them to be wrong, because you'd prefer to live in the fantasy world where they are wrong.

Let's say you go to get a surgery. You don't want the doctor to tell you about all the times they fucked up and what the awful consequences were. It doesn't matter that they're probably a better surgeon now, having learned from their mistakes. Psychologically, you need that person with the sharp tool poking around inside your body to be a superhuman.

To a lesser degree, the same is true for any expert. Of course everybody makes mistakes. Notice the de-personalization in the word "everybody". You can talk about the mistakes everybody makes, or those ones that many people make. If you talk about your own mistakes however, you lose the superhuman status. There may be a few situations where that somehow helps you, but not when you want to sell books.

Interesting that it's the banks that are catching this.

I know we trash banks, and they do some terrible things to customers, but they have become important partners in fighting financial crime including AML (Anti Money Laundering) and other crimes.

I'm sure some banks are using ML to detect anomalous transactions, and I wouldn't be surprised if one or more ML models are what first flagged this activity as suspicious.
this is the power of the web. made the underlying OS irrelevant. folks in the industry let's invest in good skills i.e making performant web apps i.e Figma quality. using wasm + all. & then gradually people will be free to build | use new OS's.
> Considering that nowadays many people have an SSD, for boot files that would mean LZ4 is best.

That depends on how concurrent boot is, and how fast your CPU and memory are. It may be true on a Celeron, but maybe not on a ThreadRipper.

Furthermore, if you look at the performance testing, the sequential read performance was almost always better with zstd than with lz4, in ZFS; and the zstd-fast mode was about as fast as the lz4 mode in sequential writes. This may be a matter of their specific integration of lz4, but nonetheless it pays to look at the actual numbers before drawing conclusions.
What a crazy world where for desktop/laptops, we're not sure we even need native apps even for complex use cases.

But for mobile, there is an almost religious insistence that even text-based CRUD apps need to be compiled binaries.

Inoreader (at least their paid version) supports private rss feeds--that is feeds with HTTP Basic Auth headers for non-public content. Private blogs and private RSS are a space where monetizing your content just isn't important. This is where people can write personal, vulnerable things to share with friends and family without creating a burden of "now I need to visit 50 different friends' websites"
It depends. If the second pod requests 4 CPUs, it doesn't necessarily mean that the first pod can't use all the CPUs in the uncontended case.

A lot of this depends on policy and cooperation, which is true for any multitenant system. If the policy is that nobody requests CPU, then the behavior will be like an ordinary shared Linux server under load - the scheduler will manage it as fairly as possible. OTOH, if there are pods that are greedy and pods that are parsimonious in terms of their requests, the greedy pods will get the lion's share of the resources if it needs them.

The flip side of overallocating CPU requests is cost. This value is subtracted from the available resources, making the node unavailable to do other useful work. Most of the time I see customers making the opposite mistake - overallocating CPU requests so much that their overall CPU utilization is well under 25% during peak periods.
You of course should monitor the rate of liveness flapping for your services. The need to monitor it does not imply that it's a bad feature.

It goes both ways, the sandboxing means that the app has less access to the OS, but the flip side is that the open web has more access to the app (CSRF, XSS, evil extensions, etc.)

This is why its such a great tax - if the government and others are shelling out money to improve an area; you won't get to free ride off it and get huge property values.

If you want to pay less taxes, you move to an area that doesn't do this sort of investment. If you want nice stuff, you can move in and pay for it, and be content that people who are against improvement are kicked out by higher taxes.
Yeah, reasonable, as in: the united states put full suppression measures in place piecemeal sometime between 0.2 and 1.6 deaths / 100k / week (depending on jurisdiction), and the actual number of deaths is trending to end up between the point estimate for putting measures in place at 0.2 deaths / 100k / week and the point estimate for putting measures in place at 1.6 deaths / 100k / week.
And therefore, beware any OS attempts to break cross platform browser compatibility.

Also I think you can deploy to all those things with Qt.
Can't you even do this with GPL code really? Unfortunately they didn't predict the cloud specifically. The GPL seems to only enforce that you cannot distribute modified versions of some software without also publishing the modified source code. If your modified GPL software only ever runs on your cloud infra and you don't share the binary, did you break the GPL?
But like, do they. Personally, I've found using a high level native UI API (like Racket's) to be much easier than a webapp. More flexible and performant too.

Personally, I hope that web browsers die off and we go back to gopher for displaying information. I hate the web.
Ok, I see my point being not so understandable, after all. I didn't mean Figma isn't a hardcore tool, I meant that we exclude it because it specifically concerns with web technology (being a tool for web design) and leverages web to implement collaborative usage. So it's probably logical for it to be a web app.
The source code is not the point. The point is the freedoms of FOSS.

The best reason for running a system in UTC is that you do want to present dates & times in a user preferred timezone. When you have users in more than one timezone as you do with any internet service, then you substantially reduce your chances of errors if you only convert once and not between two non-UTC timezones.

Edit: The other thing about examining logs is that I don't care what local time it occurred. Once an incident is identified all I care about is the time of the incident which can all be in UTC, my mind is at those hours while reading logs from every source.
Common mistake: using Kubernetes
O God, please no! I can't see anything requiring true low-latency real time performance (like audio production DSP) ever being fast enough on the web compared to native. Also, when everything went 64 bit in recent years, developers got really lazy about memory management.
this just like asking:
do you prefer to use native/high performance applications? yes
do you like developing native application? no
if the performance and memory usage of web app already equal to native desktop app, which do you prefer to use? web

May I suggest that if you've not read Henry George's thought yourself yet, you take some time with them? There are two sections of the Schalkenbach site devoted to them -- first, the books, articles and speeches themselves, and then an introduction to HG's thought, with perspectives from a number of writers, mostly recent. With the latter group is a short version of Progress and Poverty entitled "Significant Paragraphs."

His vision and clarity are remarkable and inspiring. 120 years ago, his ideas were widely understood throughout the English speaking world. (There were also a lot of hilarious misinterpretations by people who hadn't read, as is often the case.)

And if you explore a bit, you'll find some good websites and blogs devoted to his thought.

I imagine DAWs like many others could be a very small native audio processing binary with a gui on top that can be whatever it wants. Some are already Java UIs over C++ backend (e.g Bitwig). Should be possible to do an electron or web frontend over the C++ backend too. Replacing the processing bits will be hard though. Driver interfaces aren't exactly the strong point of web dev.

Putting things in a map or set is almost invariably slower, often much slower, than a smart sort. If performance doesn't matter, then go ahead. Most often sort performance doesn't matter, or anyway most of the time is spent elsewhere. People do use Python or Bash in production, without shame.

But some of us work on problems where performance of the sort does matter.
