Honest question, what are some engineering spin-offs that could come out of this? I'm asking because I'm reminded of a Peter Thiel interview where it's mentioned that, despite changing our view of the universe, no "real world" applications came out of the quark model discovered in the 1960s.

This is different from a project like ITER, which is also hugely expensive but could be a game changer.
The author believes the game is harmful because it doesn't teach players to think the right things - the things that the author thinks.

Imagine someone wrote a blog about how Space Invaders encouraged militarism and xenophobia. It sounds like a parody, but then so does this blog post.
Canceled in part because of our $255 billion budget deficit, a number that seems quaint today.
Just by luck I've been interviewed on camera a few times, and each time Im astounded, how im not really beeing interviewed, im rather beeing asked questions phrased a certain way, so they have a certain response that fits a narrative.
Fujitsu developed SVE together with ARM.
May I also additionally ask how on Earth a 50k salary for a software engineer is at all justified? After paying taxes and rent, it seems to me there is not much money left over for saving or lifestyle spending?

It's not really inconsistent to believe fighting against racial injustice is more important than the reelection of a specific president?
I'm not being contrarian, I am asking why I wouldn't be able to modify my filesystem. It's quite simple.

I can also do rm -rf ~/Documents or rm -rf /Applications or rm -rf /Library which has a similar devastating effect to my life/machine - should we block that too?

I can also fling a hammer into the screen and break the screen - should we put extra thick glass on the screen? I guess I have no business using a MacBook if it is possible to break the screen.

I can also pour liquid into the keyboard - should the keyboards be waterproof? I guess I am not qualified to use a Macbook and have no business using one if I spill a drink.

Using the keyboard is dangerous too because someone can type dangerous commands. Let's stop people using it. Only those with sufficient "curiosity" and those "qualified" should use it, right? How do I get "qualified"?

I am saying that as it is my machine, I get to decide which parts are dangerous. But I no longer can because someone the other side of the world has decided that I am cannot create a directory under /.

I do not ever modify /etc using Finder. Should I only be allowed to edit files under there using Finder or is Terminal permitted?

I guess if we follow this "lock down" and "only those qualified" route that you encourage, we'll soon see permission prompts to do anything anyway.
And these same scientists will no doubt also complain about climate change and how we aren’t investing enough to combat it...

One that is limited, but wonderful is: ProPublica
> To me this is a text by someone that treats the game as if the game authors have created factorio by a series of deliberate choices, that is they treat it like a serious creative work.

I think factorio is utterly genius. As a creative work, it is more sophisticated and interesting than I think any game I've played. I personally appreciate it as a harnessing of emergent behavior, which tends to be my favorite kind of gameplay.

It's just that the aliens are a really small part of that. The aliens have basically no impact on the game after a point not too far into it. Resources consumed by weapon production become negligible compared to other objectives.

> Whether the aliens are for the just parts of the game or not, it is fact that the authors state in the gameplay trailer that the aliens are there to force you into making weapons: https://youtu.be/KVvXv1Z6EY8?t=88 and this is the trailer on their homepage mind you

Both things can be true at the same time. Yes, the aliens force you to make weapons.

But of course they aren't going to just tell you "at first, the game can be a bit slow, so here are some aliens to keep you busy until your factory is more interesting"...
Re: Delta Chat,
I've often wondered if a solution existed like this, because in my eye the "problem" with email is that it's long-form. Nobody wants to compose an email just to send a one or two liner (good morning, what's up, etc). I'll check this out, thanks!

Re: Skype
I agree, my parents use Skype, and even though I never use it, if/when I log in there's always someone I haven't spoken to in the better part of a decade, still online as if they've been using it every day since.
Ruby iterators and the yield keyword (with examples/2019)
Correct, in fact Wu had posted the article in order to somehow protest NYT's hiring of Jeong. I personally think that Jeong was simply misguided in this particular incident and doesn't deserve that much criticism especially compared to the Vice reporter in question, though.
> That same money could possibly be pumped into more immediately useful "hard" applied problems like fusion reactors

Interesting, I just checked the number for ITER (i.e: Europe's main fusion project), the project has been estimated at around €20-30 billion (with some pessimistic estimates from the US at around €60 billion for the completion of the reactor). And that's considered a VERY HIGH cost and has been the main concern from participating countries. But somehow $23 billion for a new collider have been approved?

Edit: correction, $23 billion haven't been approved, the plans for a potential collider, estimated at $23 billion, have been approved.
Adding to my post: I understand the neccessity of the orphan rule (see other post about why). At least I am happy that there's a solution (newtypes) even if it is not nice.
The NYT isn't reputable anymore. Haven't been for a while. Case in point, this article they might publish.

They fired most of their senior editors in 2017 because they were both too expensive and enforcing old school journalist standards and integrity which doesn't generate clicks like hot handed opinion pieces followed by reverse opinion pieces does.

Though mind you that senior group was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the invasion of Iraq, so take their integrity with a grain of salt.
The website was down when that was posted (likely because way too many people were trying to access it at once!).
I disagree - stating the different situations in different ways is entirely reasonable and to be expected. Can you find me some "serious journalism", ever, which operated in the way you describe?
Because to all intents and purposes it doesn't work.

It means: Pressure the NYT. Write a polite but firm email that this is not an acceptable attitude. If you happen to be subscribed, unsubscribe, and point to this as the reason.

> ... experiment that was carried out at the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center in Maryland. It showed that the virus's half-life -- the time taken for it to reduce to half its amount -- was 18 hours when the temperature was 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 24 degrees Celsius) with 20 percent humidity on a non-porous surface. This includes things like door handles and stainless steel. But the half-life dropped to six hours when humidity rose to 80 percent -- and to just two minutes when sunlight was added to the equation. When the virus was aerosolized -- meaning suspended in the air -- the half-life was one hour when the temperature was 70 to 75 degrees with 20 percent humidity. In the presence of sunlight, this dropped to just one and a half minutes. Bryan concluded that summer-like conditions "will create an environment (where) transmission can be decreased."

I’m writing this with the caveat that it takes an order of magnitude more effort to refute bull than to produce it.

The way I understand the current mask guidelines is that your mask isn’t there to help you, but to help other people. I clicked through a few of the studies and they looked at the effectiveness of masks in preventing the wearer from getting infected in uncontrolled situations, not the effectiveness in preventing the wearer from spreading it to other people.
Before Yosemite the green button worked like a maximize button, and you had a separate fullscreen button on the other side. Now you need to ⌥-click the green button to maximize.
There was an article on HN not too long ago, where the title was something like: "When in parallel pull, not push". It was about calculating sand pile fractals and how pulling strategy removes the need of locking. I guess for a physics engine the same principle applies. Instead of telling objects, that they are being pushed, let objects themselves ask whether they are pushed, pulling the information readonly from their environment. You would need really light weight processes for situations with many bodies though.
That is very fucked.
Culture is not a source of intelligence.

Intelligence is something you are born with, just like height or skin color.

I also do not understand who you refer to when you say "we." Well, I have a pretty good idea, but as opposed to "you," I prefer not to do mindless generalizations.
Sure, it's possible to prepare ahead and also afterwards. But this is so time-consuming, I mean after all everybody has to decide that for themselves but IMHO Pareto-optimizing that means not visiting most lectures. At least that's how I studied and it worked out really well. But I agree with you one can seek a lot of value from it, but that doesn't limit itself to 1.5 hours sitting there and listening. But rather being really concentrated for 1.5 hours, and spending time before and after.

VYVE: A new way to understand, track and reduce carbon
Wow, does Yo still exist? What have they been doing lately?
News organisations pander to their audience, so I think it's really important to understand what that audience is. If you happen to be in that target audience, then of course there's a real risk you'll end up in an echo chamber that becomes increasingly far away from anything resembling a consensus reality.

I've come up with several strategies to try and minimise this. One is to read multiple sources with different target audiences. I occasionally read the Daily Mail (my mother gets it, don't judge) and the Guardian. My main source of general news is the BBC news site, but I also regularly read The Economist. From time to time I pop on to the Fox News site, partly to remind myself that the Daily Mail could actually be a lot worse. I listen to LBC in the car (A London based politics and current affairs talk radio show).

Genuine question - I'd be interested in how others approach this. Is my set of sources too skewed one way or another? Am I missing a decent balanced source, or should I add a credible source on any particular political leaning?
I simply can't imagine that anybody who even basically understands the related topics could believe the facebook post you posted (I'm referring to the graph). If I'm wrong and they do exist I'm very, very sad, and even scared imagining having to deal with such people.

Having gone and checked, no. Not even close.

(Nor would it be plausible to expect to. But it's clear Apple have made a choice here, and that is that if you're a user who wants legacy software or desktop gaming, Apple do not care about you compared to their margins. It's that simple.)

Pushing iOS (2014)
They could have done that at any point in the last 10 years. They're not going to. "Operating systems" are the bit that makes the hardware work for the software, and because the hardware of "computers" is different from "portables", they'll continue to get different OS for a LONG time. Apple make mac-, i-, iPad-, tv- and watch- OS. That's five different OSs. The "bringing together" of macOS and iOS has nothing to do with unifying the OS over the hardware: it's about unifying the experience of interacting with digital representations of physical reality. Need a surface for displaying 2d media? Here's a "window" or an "app". Need to write a message to your friend? Here's a surface that accepts typed characters or your handwriting. Need to write some code? Here's a surface that accepts text and has some editing controls. Etc.

What's much more likely is that they'll find some new form factor of sensors and projectors (keys, screens, pointers, loudspeakers, data i/o) that does away with "computers" and "tablets" entirely. And that'll have its own widgetOS.

EDIT: punctuation.
I can also cite papers in various journals. However, it only matters if the citations are relevant. In this case the author is largely citing papers that show how wearing masks can prevent the wearer from becoming infected, not preventing other people from becoming infected.
It didn't get through yet though, the CERN council approved of a feasibility study for this particular idea after considering and rejecting several other ideas.

I don't really get what the FCC has to do with this?
DOS survived perfectly fine with deltree, whereupon it was possible to delete your file system.

The decision on which bits of the system I can destroy should be mine, not theirs. That's the issue. At the moment, I am getting pushed out of my machine, bit by bit. Every binary I run is getting report to Apple etc.

It is also possible to destroy the system by dropping your MacBook from a very great height. Should it be padded to cope with this eventuality?
It is. dtrace outside of whatever Instruments needs to do its job is fairly crippled.
Whilst true[1], that's history wholly irrelevant to the pressent story.

My experience is similar if not worse. I came back to China for wedding this Jan and the wedding got cancelled because of the pandemic. Around mid Feb, US announced travel ban for Chinese. My wife went back to US with a still valid visa before the ban became effective, and I need to wait for new stamp. You already know what happened next. And now with this new EO, I'm not sure when we can reunite. We were students from top universities and now are hired by top companies, not sure how we became a risk to US labor. I've always been reminding myself this is not my country, yet I'm not fully prepared for the huge disruption this caused to my life.

> IHP is supposed to become the Django/Rails/Phoenix of Haskell.

And like these other server-side web frameworks, IHP is SQL centric. What sets it apart is the IDE integrated into the dev server. The IDE together with Nix allows IHP to be PostgreSQL only, avoiding out-of-band server installs and providing a UI for schema/model construction.

This is an interesting option and seems to have appeal beyond Haskell enthusiasts.
By your definition getting anything from a git repository that's not the main branch is digging and saying "it's on git" to a specific branch or tag would be misleading.

The article history of any article is literally available with just one click on Wikipedia. Well, make that two to show a specific version. Getting to the article itself takes more clicks and key presses than that ... so reading Wikipedia at all counts as digging already?
Yes I would consider all reporting from NYT to be biased. However what they choose to print in their editorials is worth particular scrutiny.
This is a particularly insidious form of advocacy because it mimics the writing of a scientific article while presenting a political opinion.

I stopped checking after the 4th linked journal article. All 4 had their results were misrepresented in the article. Not one suggested that masks didn’t work. 2 showed they did work, 1 showed there wasn’t much difference between N95 respirators and surgical masks and 1 was a small sample size result that showed family spread amongst 2 families, 1 who wore masks outside and one who didn’t.

Further they were a mix of respiratory illnesses mentioned. Colds, flues and SARS were all mixed and matched.

Thats before we get into the dubious claim that there was a 100% infection rate if any aerosolized droplets got through the mask.
Did the NYT ever have any sort of golden age of journalism? They were publishing glowing profiles of one Adolf H. in the runup to WWII.

They've had good pieces but pretty much every publication other than tabloids got those, Playboy published a number of great interviews and articles.

Worse, assuming they did have a golden age they’re using that reputation in laundering the likes of Brett Stephens.

Much earlier.

We had heard about those strange phone "numbers" with letters in them via American television shows, of course.

(I spent about a decade in the trenches as first a part-time then full-time tech journalist -- wrote a column for the UK Computer Shopper for several years -- and the reason CS's feature quality stayed high was because the editors recruited techies who could write and trained them in the basics of journalism, rather than hiring generalist journalists and expecting them to pick up a CS degree by osmosis.)

Maxwell's equations were completely theoretical (read: useless) and ahead of their time - but are fundamental to the invention of radio. Foundational research creates opportunity, it cant really be targeted.
