A problem I don’t have a good answer to is how to extend conditions (or even exceptions) to async programming models.

Two problems are:

1. some code may fail multiple times (with non-async code, once an exception is caught the program can’t throw another one from the same dynamic extent of the try block; similarly once a restart is invoked and control is transferred, a condition won’t be signalled from the same dynamic extent where the restart was bound (for the purpose of this clause, we consider a retry restart to mint a new dynamic extent to bind the restart in again after retrying))

2. Some computation may happen after you don’t care about its result because a parallel dependency has failed. E.g. suppose you have some rate limiter where you pass an async function, get a promise for it’s result, and the rate limited will queue your function to be called soon but with the condition that it will only allow say 5 calls to be in flight. Now you have some resource-downloading function which puts many separate download requests into the ratelimiter in parallel, and combines the results in such a way that the whole download fails if any request fails. But now if an early request fails, your function will continue trying to download all the other resources even though it doesn’t care about the result now that it has failed. You could imagine having a way to cancel promises and maybe you would be clever and write really solid programs and never have issues but to me this seems to be inviting very difficult to debug problems (just like expecting any thread to be killed at any random point (or at least a bunch of different points) would make correct multithreaded programming harder.

Perhaps a more succinct description of problem 2 is that unwinding the “stack” isn’t well-defined with an async programming model because “stack” doesn’t really mean the call stack from the scheduler you whatever bit of async computation you happen to be doing, but rather the combined dynamic scope from everything that started the computation and is currently awaiting its completion.

A related and, I think, very useful thing to have is a way to represent computations which may signal conditions or be restarted. I think CL doesn’t have a great story for this (threading isn’t really a part of the language though). An example use case would be some program which has to process some stream of events. If it gets stuck on one or some, you may want to continue processing the rest of the events while deciding what restart to invoke for the problematic ones. Perhaps an effect system could help with this.
There's no proof of that. In fact there's still no proof to my knowledge that nicotine itself is harmful - to the contrary, it may have neuroprotective properties.
You're right, however one advantage of water cooling your cpu –especially for multi gpu builds that are common in ML setup– is that it moves the heat dissipation away from a crowded area.
The advantage of cryptocurrencies is that it allows you to commit the scam anonymously easily and defers the laundering of the money for later, giving you time to devise a scheme to launder it.

Stock markets or fiat currencies on the other hand require quite a bit of work upfront to set up an account before you can trade.

This varies culture by culture, in much of Asia it's standard to include a head/shoulders shot photo with a CV.
I don't think they were planning to immediately deprecate and remove the old API. Is there any reason to believe this is the case?
So, has twitter deleted all the bogus tweets at this point? I have clicked on multiple links just to see a bunch of context-less replies.
Maybe that's the plan.
Is that quote from a different article? I'm either not seeing it in the article or my ctrl+F powers are failing me.
Can you give me more info on that? It looks like they thought the amount of charity was fine, they just wanted it to be more equally dispersed.

I'm not sure whether I agree or disagree. I was just providing extra context from the Twitter poster, because Twitter is not good for context.
Ok. If we take that further, the state isn't claiming credit for anything, it's people claiming it on behalf of a magical idea, right?

Are there examples of what you are describing happening in the world?
exploits like this tend to get patched very fast no time for a/b testing. every second counts.
How would it be harder to launder? You bet on a Tesla stock drop. That's perfectly legal. Musk tweets some bad news, and says he was hacked, but that doesn't mean you hacked him.

That's a pretty big inferential leap to make from a single picture. I wonder what you would make of my refusal to post pictures anywhere. "Candidate is hiding something," perhaps?

Sure, but given that it may not be possible to achieve perfect equality, I'm not sure how it follows that we are at a global (or even local) maximum of equality, which seems to be what you shorthand "okay" to mean.

And I think that it's pretty obvious that we aren't at such a maximum.

Like, holding values constant, "make marijuana legal" would reduce inequality. It might have some second order effects that are problematic in general, but it would reduce policing inequality. I don't see a counterargument to that.
How did you determine it to be literally worth billions of dollars? I don't understand how sending some faked tweets could have much in the way of geopolitical implications.
I remember Domino Web Access as being kind of okay, but weird, and never a credible challenger to Outlook. It emerged around the time I had less and less exposure to Notes things; there was also a sort of minified, desktop Notes/Domino server ("DOLS") that could replicate web apps locally for offline use and synchronize when back online. Wild stuff!

As for Eclipse, it's more like IBM found a way to wedge Notes (written in C) into an Eclipse wrapper, likely fueled by the early-aughts mania to make everything a portal/portlet.

Some other apps have used Eclipse as a host, DBeaver for example. Although I believe DBeaver is principally written in Java.
Matt Taibbi, in his last email to subscribers, has a great write up on this.

Going after people like Steven Pinker is, I think, bat shit crazy.

It seems like here in the US that we have 5% of the far right who are crazy and 5% of the far left who are crazy. I wish they would leave the other 90% of us alone.

The Steven Pinker thing is evidence of the craziness on the far left. Evidence for the craziness on the far right is self evident.

People who don't want scrutiny from their old tweets want an easy way to delete/wipe their tweets. There are a load of software out there that claim to do this. They all relatively take over the oAuth chain, and do the needful. But one of them does it as if you were in your browser. As to not give away information about the user's phone/type/version.
> yes, this is self-hosted. I can't check the version, but I think it was recently updated

Well, 3.0 comes out tomorrow (hopefully) so your administrators may want to upgrade once it does :).

> the "drafts" feature took me a year to discover. Sadly, messages were recomposed

Yes, we're planning to add an onboarding notice the first time a draft is saved to avoid this failure mode :).

> notification emails in non-html mode don't carry over the bold, not even in the form of asterisks, so it all blends in with multiple messages

Oh, interesting. Non-HTML emails are hard to do much good with; if you have specific ideas for what we could change to make that better, let us know: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/new

Are you saying the reason TP is back in stock is because enough people bought bidets to reduce demand for residential TP? That would be interesting.
Why would it be harder? Software engineers generally have enough opportunities to leave with another offer in hand.
I doubt this is a productivity issue or an infrastructure issue - shutting off write access is a major business and reputational loss, and I can easily see cultural factors pushing people not to take that step.
Most communities that would actually have buyers for high level information are well hidden, you basically have to know someone to get in. I don't know of any sites on TOR that have a marketplace for this kind of high level information, but there's defintely a couple russian marketplaces on i2p. I don't have the links anymore but they're probably somewhere out there on the clear web.
Illicit money that you pay taxes on is generally not problematic, at least to the IRS. You probably still need to worry about other three letter agencies, though, depending on how it is illicit.

Edited to add: I’ve heard of drug dealers doing it. Whether it’s true or not I can’t say.

I don't. It makes no sense to intimidate and threaten anyone just because that person happens to not agree with you on a position you singled out as being relevant.
Yeah, I remembered the sort by angle part and the broad strokes after that, but there were some details I forgot so I missed some corner cases.
> This type of thing is likely to become de rigeur, for astroturf and scam accounts. Disturbing, but not particularly newsworthy.

It's newsworthy if the fake account's posts are used to assassinate the character of real people and the fake persona is pointed out for being fake:

> Reuters was alerted to Taylor by London academic Mazen Masri, who drew international attention in late 2018 when he helped launch an Israeli lawsuit against the surveillance company NSO on behalf of alleged Mexican victims of the company’s phone hacking technology.
It does mean that discriminating based on this would lower your candidate pool significantly, to the point where it's likely you will miss out on otherwise good candidates.
What hold me and most of my friends back from switching to a phone like this is that Signal is unlikely to work on it for quite some time.
> indexing with `[1, #list + 1)` isn't a problem _at all_ in Lua.

That's not what string.sub accepts though.

> Plus, between the operations of "get final index" and "split interval into non-overlapping pieces", "get final index" is far more common (it's crucial to stacks, queues, etc, in addition to various uses like iterating backwards). Choosing "closed" intervals is then the cleaner option to avoid an ugly "+" or "-"!

It (rather unnecessarily) takes log time, so you probably shouldn't do it if you can avoid it.
Results like this have been replicated in various forms for a while now, it seems reasonable to believe it is real. If you have enough money you can buy blood transfusions for this purpose, though that is whole blood (from children?), not plasma.
Wow, I remember that. Amazing. Think how many more people would see that sort of tweet today.
LinkedIn is clearly aimed at the professional world and recruiters are arguably using it as a professional tool.

Putting you child into your profile picture is more akin to bringing it to the interview.

Photos of yourself at a younger age and in comical ("cute") situations may be quite embarrassing for your more grown-up self. Especially if people who know you but are not your friends would discover them and use them to publicly make fun of you.

Such photos are not public by default, and should stay private to you and the circle of your friends and relatives.
>I'm specifically referring to https://spatial.chat

Kinda off topic, but I'm starting to see this kind of website design more frequently these days, just a big "Join" button (or something) without any information whatsoever about what is it I'm joining up for. I hate it and I don't know why anyone thinks it's a good idea.

I would just be wary of someone who was using Linkedin, which is a professional social network, for posting photos of their children.

When you're hiring someone all of the little details are amplified and things like this give you a window into their judgement.
>This could be the beginning of the end of social media.

You are willfully blind to, or ignoring the facts right in front of you. 0.3% IFR is basically 1 million dead in the U.S. alone in the next two months from this one single cause if we go with your plan. That's just the people who die. That's assuming our system doesn't get overwhelmed (it will). We have very clear data that the U.S. healthcare system simply can't handle letting this virus burn through the population without slowing down the spread.
Yeah but will embarrassing the interviewer work well as a strategy to get hired?

Depends on the interviewer.

Sweden just paid 300 million SEK to reboot one reactor (also pressurized water reactor from Westinghouse manufactured in the early 70s and started in 75; 3 years before this one, closed in Dec. last year) because of supply issues in the south of Sweden leading to price volatility and provisioning issues this summer during the heatwave.

Peak-oil is a bitch and we're going to run these nuclear plants until the metal in the cores and foundations start to show cracks visible to the naked eye.

Because Uranium has 1.000.000x the power content per weight more than gasoline and 1.000.000.000x more than batteries!

That said fission costs a lot of dead trees to build, so we're going to have to stick to the plants we already have.

Building new nuclear plants will not be possible no matter how much money you print.

I predict the french will do the same once the KWh price jumps around a little too much to be ignored.

Electric cars are a joke, they take hours to charge and once everyone has them; charging will be impossible!

Instead we should focus on Raspberry Pi 4 and electric bikes!

Edit: If you look here you'll see that most WH plants put into service ~75 have been closed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_reactors

The only other interesting tidbit here is that Saudi-Arabia is planning 4 reactors!
I don't really have a good sense of whether hiring has "bounced back" except based on the volume of LinkedIn messages I get, which seems to have remained about the same (I haven't actually gone and checked). But, it's not clear to me that, within the tech industry, enough people got laid off that it would have made hiring measurably more competitive.
Do they seem the type of people that would send anything sensitive over Twitter DMs? I'd imagine if anything at the very least they would use iMessage or some messaging app of that nature. Biden seems like the type of guy who relies on e-mail.
> at that point something like 90% of invasively ventilated patients die.

Remember that America in general is a lot more intervention-happy than other places. It's more important to "do something", even if that something is net-negative or net-neutral. And therefore, the survivor statistics of ventilated patients in the US is absolutely atrocious.

Halfway down this page there's a diagram of survival rates of patients in ICU in Sweden by age group: https://www.svt.se/datajournalistik/corona-i-intensivvarden/

As you can see, the survival stats are much better. 47% of the 80+ patients lives. 70% of the 60-79 group lives. 85% of the 40-59 age group lives.

But as you can also see, the number of treated patients in the 80+ group is very small. And this is because doctors in Sweden place more weight on making sure the treatment does good, rather than opting for maximum intervention every single time.

Of course, that has been interpreted as Sweden callously sacrificing the elderly by denying them care.

But if the odds of a patient surviving a ventilator treatment is on par with the patient beating covid-19 on their own, and we know that ventilator treatment is harsh and cruel, it makes no sense to put them on a ventilator.

But most people think of ICUs and ventilators as some sort of magical medical machine that always cures people as long as they get access to it, so therefore we have this weird focus on ICU capacity as if that's the most important factor for overall mortality.
I quit (10 year smoker) first week of March. Within a week several coworkers which I was in close proximity to got Covid (pcr confirmed). Dealing with allergies plus the stress of quitting and being paranoid about chest issues and other symptoms made it really rough. But nothing like the fear of dying to get you motivated and cold turkey.
Which is also targeted towards scientific computing.
Thank you.

I hope it won't be 20 years again.

Off-topic ...

I have not tried Hey.com yet and respect the author for the comparison of the two email platforms, but here’s two points:

1). Fastmail has custom domains to the nth degree (I have 20+ domains there, not certain how many Hey is planning to support and if they’re willing to handle replies from each)

2). Gmail or Yahoo seem to be a more appropriate review in these early days

Just my 2 cents ;)
Built 1991, it's nearing the end of its useful lifespan in salt water conditions. Maintenance and repairs will get very costly, very soon. There's a reason you don't see 35+ year old cargo ships operating in widespread commercial service... Some time in the next 5-7 years that ship is almost certainly going to end up operating in an increasingly decrepit condition in the coastal trade in a location with lax regulations, or cut up for scrap on a beach in India, Pakistan or Bangladesh.
I always thought Lua would be great for config files. Better than YAML even, since it's an actual language.

Why would I trust my memory on how a utility works with an empty set when I can just look it up?

So many languages, frameworks, and libraries copy the same functionality and every single one does it differently.

The cost of looking it up is a little bit of humility. The cost of not doing so is a small chance of spectacularly breaking something for my entire team. Suck it up, apply the Precautionary Principle, and most importantly, get over yourself.

You're being downvoted because __blockcipher__ presented a reasonable and rational argument, to which you responded with nothing but pathos, and nothing deeper than newsreel soundbites unsupported by actual science.

__bc__ might be wrong, but an hysterical retort is not the way to prove that to the rest of us. And for my money, there's at least something in his comments that's worth considering.

> Converting water to steam takes about (from the top of my head) 5x more energy than it takes to increase it by one degree.

I think this greatly underestimates the potential of evaporative cooling. The "specific heat of water" is 1 calorie/gram °C --- that is, one calorie can heat one gram of water by one degree Celsius if no phase change is involved. The "heat of vaporization of water" is more than 500 calorie/gram at 100°C. That is, the energy necessary to convert a given quantity of liquid water from just below boiling to steam is not 5x the energy necessary to raise that amount of water 1°C, but 500x! You are probably remembering that this is 5x the energy necessary to take liquid water all the way from 0°C (almost frozen) to 100°C (almost boiling).
The National Museum of African American History & Culture is an American institution. The tweeter Bryan York lives in Washington DC.

Your other comment about the Australian experience was interesting and it's useful when comparing the US to the rest of the world. However, it feels like you're trying to say I'm off topic because I'm discussing an American document and an American reaction by using American history.
