I find it really frustrating that every piece of software nowadays claims to be "blazing fast" or "built for performance", usually with no benchmarks to back it up. Makes it really hard to tell at a glance what the strengths of a project actually are. I honestly would be very grateful if a project up and said "we're not the fastest, but we trade performance for a simpler codebase and easier extensibility. If you need to do some-performance-intensive-task, try other-package instead".
In the sense that the country flip flops between two political ideologies at huge expense in changes to procedures and physical infrastructure rather than agreeing a course to steer and sticking to it with occasional course corrections at elections. In the sense that the influence of small minorities like UKIP happens in back rooms of the Conservative party and likewise with Momentum in the Labour Party. If we had a fair voting system, which reflected the true voting intentions of the whole electorate, rather than the voting intentions of a small number of people in swing constituencies, a centrist party can say ‘if you don’t like it start your own party’ and the debate then happens in public. If the extreme socialists or the nazis make inroads then a centrist party either becomes more socialist or nazi or you end up forming a coalition, but at least it’s transparent and it’s a lot more predictable. No-one cared about the EU until Cameron sprung the referendum on us, that referendum was entirely the result of back room shenanigans in an attempt to reduce the influence of UKIP.

First past the post means it is a de facto two party system. This is because people know that there is no point voting for a party that can’t win and in ~75% of constituencies there is a large enough majority that there is no point in voting at all unless you are supporting the incumbent. The only time that one of the main 2 parties was usurped by another was when the liberal party got us into a war that lead to decades of turmoil and killed vast numbers of people. I would rather that my vote could have some influence before things get that bad.
Unparalleled inventory of the human gut ecosystem
There's a clear difference between protestors and enemies no matter the amount of hostility. Thinking of the protestors as enemies is bound to escalate conflict instead of deescalating it.
Information is sometimes destroyed, but we can't count on it. An algorithm like HMAC might be used to authenticate a short message. Or even if the message is long, it might also be known, so perhaps the only unknown input (the key) is short. HMAC still provides security in this case, but it's not provable-because-information-is-destroyed in the sense you're describing.

"I don't like GPL licenses myself, I prefer BSD/MIT/etc."

The GPL may deserve some criticism from a business point of view, but how many of the businesses that criticize it openly, or attempt to dodge it covertly, were brought to success thanks to developers who could become what they are by studying and modifying code that without the GPL would have never been published?

I ran my own personal wiki in like 2004 - 2008. I'm not sure too cumbersome is the word I'd use. I just never found it that useful.

Today though Google Docs, Keep, Notes, Github Gists, github itself, and many other places I can easily store notes and access from anywhere. No reason to setup a wiki and have to maintain it myself.
SF off of Market St at night is mostly overtaken by various night dwellers now. Certain areas and surrounding areas around Market you do not want to walk alone at night, or even during the day for some streets. However is too be expected when law abiding citizens are punished for defending, or trying to defend, themselves. People robbing others in this country are called the victim. Those attempting to reduce crime by carrying concealed are also punished, especially in California. The problem with the US is mostly political with one side wanting defense and the other anarchy.
It is presented as being enterprise-ish, for organisations (of which a lot are commercial) and presents features usually useful for large companies. That's what.

This isn't about good/bad or something like that, just an odd presentation that doesn't seem to be in line with the license. There is nobody to pay here to use this stuff because you still won't be able to integrate it without also sharing internal IP.

There are plenty of organisations that would happily pay what they'd normally pay Atlassian to use Wiki.js but they can't because they don't want to share any of their own code. This is also why license guides like the one from google explicitly bans all AGPL software because it's not worth the risk.
I think this is a little pedantic.

"Not a law" is strictly tue, but the "law" idiom is totally in-line with "law of supply and demand," "law of diminishing returns," etc.

The tautology problem is not a problem. Tautologies are powerful. Douglas Adams has a great essay on this, but his novel version is more concise.

If you want strict laws and no "to some degree" hedges, read physics.

This is seriously lacking in terms of what's available on the market in Japan now.

No support for point payments (like RakutenEdy payment), neither Linepay, Rakupay, Merpay, Paypay and other QR payment providers, nor Suica or Pasmo pay, and this is still just the tip of the iceberg what's available in Japan and missing in Adyen (Nanaco, Waon, dPay, auPay, etc). Just saying, before you drink too much of that kool-aid.

I would assume it's lacking similarly in other markets too.

The Most Useful Interview Question (Chamath)
The use cases demonstrated are compelling but there seems to be an underlying assumption that current syntax highlighting techniques are broken. After reading the article I'd argue that there is a case to be made for enhanced but temporary syntax highlighting modes where most highlighting classes are muted except the focus of your attention, such as imported package variables.

Consistency is important, both for style and syntax highlighting. It is hard to anticipate what a developer is mentally focused on as they scan code.
My commute is about 50 mins door to door - 10 min drive, 30 on train and 10 minute walk. Mind you even pre-coronavirus I was only going into the office 2 or 3 days a week, working from home the rest of the time. The train trip is actually quite nice as you go along the coast then across the Forth Bridge.

Interesting essay. I read it months ago and am just going off my memory here.

My main problem with patronage is that those who would succeed under it would tend to do "sexier" research and also be better at sales. My own research (turbulent sprays at present) is decidedly not sexy and I can't say I'm particularly good at sales. The status-quo (grants mostly from the government) does have the same problems to a certain extent, but I believe these problems would be amplified under patronage because non-technical folks (who are providing the funding) may not understand the technical justifications for certain lines of research. At least under the status quo grant proposals are reviewed by people who are nominally familiar with the subject of the proposal, though perhaps less so than they should be, and they are under time pressure as well.

This Norbert Wiener book goes into detail about the problem of those with funding knowing less than those who need funding: https://www.worldcat.org/title/invention-the-care-and-feedin...

For this reason I don't think patronage can be more than a part of a proposed new "research enterprise". I'd be happy to see movement in that direction, still.

(And if anyone wants to fund theoretical work in sprays, feel free to contact me! See my profile for a link to my contact information. :-)
I think this is more of a “yes and”, and you could have brought it up that way rather than as a “No”.
Not a lot more at can be said in here, but I'll just mention the most common mistake I find folks make about babies and sleep. Other folks have touched on it but I want to reiterate this.

Good sleep, makes for more good sleep when it comes to babies. If a baby sleeps well at night, they'll often go down for a nap really well.

Bad sleep, makes for less sleep and a cranky baby. If a baby goes to bed late, they'll often have trouble falling asleep / aren't likely to 'sleep in.'

You and I if we stay up late at night we can sleep in and recover that time. Babies generally do not work that way. Once they get behind on sleep they'll wake up bright and early the next day or even shockingly wake up in the middle of the night even though they're tired. ... won't be able to go back to sleep.

Skipping naps or staying up late are terrible ideas, the baby won't likely sleep later when you need them to.

Find a routine, that might involve singing, a bath, etc all before bed / nap time and stick with it.

Now having said that, that isn't a recipe for a great sleeping baby (that's more luck than anything IMO) but it will generally make things easier.
I enjoyed that MOOC, I can definitely recommend having a look. I watched the videos in French, IIRC there was English dubbing available, but it was not great.
I learned a fair bit about manufacturing by actually working at a factory. My second job was as a software engineer in the tooling department at a major hard disk manufacturer, basically programming machines that assembled hard disks.

IMHO the switch to UDP is happening because the work TCP is doing to ensure reliability is now done at network and thus having TCP do it is redundant. TCP assumed very simple and dumb network, which is no longer the case.
Yeah, and how many payment providers provide all that and all the rest that Adyen provides?

I'm drinking Adyen kool-aid because I worked for a company that needed payment methods in Japan, and in India, and in Korea, and in Latin America, and in Europe.

Adyen provides all that. Yes, they will not have 100% of local providers, but it's still 100% better than any competition.

Head First Design Patterns: A Brain-Friendly Guide

You’re actually right, I had also taken very basic “intro” courses locally before taking the MIT course, and Grimson was the first person to explain Big O to me. Having already done some Python and C++ probably helped get more out of that course, as well.

But some people can’t drop thousands or even hundreds of dollars to have a prof or TA hold their hand as they learn programming essentials. They might have to put in more time on their own to do well in a course like 6.001, but that may be their only option. They could do Udemy courses, but the quality there seems to vary quite a bit (whereas with edX there’s some built-in vetting), and a complete beginner may be overwhelmed by the number of choices.

Yeah, normally as quick to comment on casual ageism as anyone. But, in this case, it's the New Yorker and I think they're just humanizing the story. (And, per another comment, with respect to "knowing their audience" I expect the New Yorker readership skews relatively old.)
Have also been here the whole time and read newspapers daily and have never once heard of or seen this
One of the main reasons they aren’t doing it is that the fairing halves are so far out to sea (about 800km down range) that no helicopter could have the range with a fairing dangling down to make it back to land (the Sikorsky Skyhook, for instance, only has a range of 200nmi or so... maybe you could get a specialized helicopter to do it with heroics like drop tanks, but the cost would be much higher), so they’d need to land on a ship after capture anyway. By catching the fairing halves with ships directly, they save the substantial costs of also having helicopters.

Notice that with RocketLab reuse, the helicopter is staged from a ship at sea. However, probably can save more money by recovering a RocketLab Electron first stage than half of a fairing (you’d need one helicopter per fairing halve but only one helicopter for Electron... Electron also has a much smaller and less awkward aerodynamic cross section than a F9 fairing halve). See: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=enndCzvZpZk
I come from that side (analyst) and am more of an enthusiast on the technical side- so I have always watched Kpler and some of the other newcomers with a lot of interest as you seem to be pushing the envelope compared with a lot of the more traditional commodity research houses which have been doing this for more years (the likes of Eikon, etc).

Curious, there seems to be a 'center of gravity' in new upstarts in the space in France- why is this?
You’ve already paid the cost for writing the test, might as well keep it.

If a test fails when modifying the codebase or adding a feature or updating dependencies, it still serves a purpose in my opinion even if fixing it takes some time.

Having the test no matter how trivial also helps boost confidence that a new change didn’t break anything no matter how trivial.

But tests should be refactored once in a while, and if a thing is complicated to setup for testing, either the thing to test should be refactored before shipping and/or the developer working on that thing should also ship a factory and helper functions for testing that thing.
My son took the AP version of the CS50 course last year in high school and showed me some of the exercises and videos. I immediately updated a lot of my own class materials after watching them and relentlessly hyped the edX class as a great companion to what we were learning.

SaaS Metrics That Matter for SaaS Business Growth in 2020
The SAVE command in old BASICs used to tokenize the individual BASIC statements and inbuilt functions, eg PRINT, GOTO, CHR$(). It could also tokenize line numbers. But it certainly didn't do things like tokenize a FOR/NEXT loop or anything that went beyond a line break (eg GOSUB/RETURN).

Just typing those words sends me back too many years to a TTY on a PDP11/10 and when you "saved" a program by:

1. Typing LIST but not hitting CR

2. Start the tape punch and press HERE-IS a few times to get a leader

3. Hitting CR

4. Waiting for the listing to finish

5. Hitting HERE-IS a few times to get a trailer

6. Folding the paper tape neatly :)
I'm not arguing against GPL and friends, I'm simply pointing out that less restriction = more freedom for the initial user in the sense that they have freedom to do more things and that this freedom does not transfer downstream. I'm also saying that not contributing back upstream is orthogonal to freedom.

I'm not sure why this is contentious: GPL adds a restriction that, eg, MIT does not -- that you must contribute back. MIT lets you choose if you want to or not, therefore it provides you more freedom. Sure, GPL adds this restriction to ensure that all users have an equal level of freedom. I am not making a value judgement here at all, nor am I saying that MIT (or whatever) is better than GPL as different people have different preferences, priorities or opinions.

>For example, I was in a presentation by a gentleman who works at DeepMind last year and who works on neuro-symbolic integration

Sure, neural networks don't operate on proper variables and so in the context of neuro-symbolic processing I'm sure this is a significant hurdle. But in general, abstract representations is part-and-parcel of what makes deep learning powerful. And such an abstract representation is all that's needed for a neural arithmetic unit.

Here[1] is a study on GPT-2 that demonstrates its middle layers develop a representation of syntax and part-of-speech, the sorts of abstract representations that would be needed to develop a mechanism to do abstract arithmetic.

>What I mean is, you seem to have a theory about how GPT-3 works. Where does it come from?

Studies like the one mentioned, and reasonable extrapolation from knowledge of DL and other transformer architectures. We are not totally ignorant on how GPT-3 works.
