Proprietary licenses aren't the only alternative to the risk of the AGPL (whether real or perceived). For example: I've never heard of a corporate lawyer having finding issue with an MIT or Apache license.

I've run into lots of libraries over my career with vague, conflicting, or otherwise questionable licenses. So far, 100% of the time I've been able to easily find an alternative open source project with a better, more clear, license. If both get the job done, I'll pick the one that doesn't keep me up at night every time.

Yeah, China is a manufacturing powerhouse. But the world system has moved beyond that. The US can't compete on price.

Germany and Japan have stagnant economies. South Korea and the US grow at similar rates but the US has a massive base to grow on.

America's economy grows at 2.9% every year. The largest in the world and it's still growing at this rate.

I take this trade every single time. It's why Americans are so wealthy in general.

Why would there be coffee spilled on the thrust levers of an automated airplane? There is not a robot in there drinking coffee, and presumably they don't just put the thrust levers in the cabin with the coffee drinking passengers. You don't have people in the wheel wells either debugging issues, you rely on the systems to work.

I can't speak to the relative merits of Julia, but I am honestly interested in anything that seeks to produce a less memory-hungry alternative to Spark.

Rust, to me, seems like a natural enough choice. It is easy to mate it to other languages, including all the major data science ones, so it would theoretically work well as the basis for a distributed compute engine that has good support for all of them as client languages. Would the same work for Julia? IIRC, it's a bytecode compiled language, which I imagine would make it difficult to link Julia libraries from other technology stacks.
Seems like it wouldn’t be cost effective if you were wanting your own personal COVID sniffing dog.

I feel seen by this comment! TBF, I already had a Garmin GPS watch that I bought circa 2006 (one of their first I believe) for tracking my runs. When it came time to upgrade I compared it to the Apple watch. And you're right. I definitely decided I'd much rather spend that much money on something with a 12yr upgrade cycle vs the 2-4 year cycle on many of my Apple devices.

What I've found most surprising is I have young children, and having a Garmin activity tracker watch (seems to be not much more than a step counter) has become the thing every 6yo is expected to have these days. We've avoided it so far, but from speaking to parents with children at neighboring schools they're nearly ubiquitous in the youngest year levels now.
New antibody mix could form 'potent' Covid-19 treatment, say scientists
Okay, now you're conflating "verifiability" and "has been verified". One can perfectly build a crypto library with verifiability in mind, then fail to verify some crucial property.

Breaking news: TweetNaCl has not been fully verified. Two instances of Undefined Behaviour (negative left shifts), lines 281 and 685, remain to this date. They're easily found with UBSan (yay for verification!), but for some reason DJB has yet to correct them.

The original paper verified 2 specific memory safety properties (no out of bound accesses, no uninitialised memory access). Monocypher's test suite does the same (and more) on a systematic basis since before version 1.0. I use Valgrind, all sanitizers, and the TIS interpreter. The test suite covers all code & data paths, much thanks to the code being constant time.

So not only Monocypher has been build with verifiability in mind, it has been pretty thoroughly verified. You would know that if the time you took to discredit Monocypher were used to look at it instead. It's all there in tests/test.sh, referenced in the README.

About that vulnerability 2 years ago. As shocking at it may be, I learned from it. The looming threat of something similar happening again tends to do that. I've paid my dues since, learned a ton. The audit gives no cause to fear another error of that kind. The test suite was deemed adequate, and they found no bug, however minor.

That old bug is irrelevant now. Give me a break.

I saw from your previous post that you're using Google for the web results, but the only option listed in their docs has a 10k queries/day limit. Have you been able to get them to agree to a higher limit, or are you planning to move off of Google once your traffic grows?

Also, your example search has a character encoding issue - "Stolen iPad Pro &amp; Bose headphones".
Big banks. I used to work at Morgan Stanley - they value this intersection a lot.

In my group, there were business analysts and developers. Guess who got more comp and recognition within the company? And there were a select few who could do both - they were intensely valued.

It's good career advice especially if you're working in a capacity where engineering is supporting a business, rather than the business itself.
i began taking side projects on the cheap so i can get paid to do other stuff aside from my day job. stuff that i like. its so cheap that i can tell my clients that i am taking my sweet time so no pressure at all on my end. if they disagree then i can fire them without regrets. ill be making stuff anyway with or without getting paid because that's what us makers do.

but somehow i dont feel productive even when doing side projects. i fear that what people at my day job think is what matters at the back of my mind. sometimes the things i do at day job are those things i dont want to do.

i cant quit because its a high paying job so i guess i need to change mindset instead.

Contrast Roman numerals with the rod calculus[0] invented in Ancient China. Wikipedia has a list of algorithms for calculating with rods, from the usual arithmetic operations to fractions, division, square and cube roots, Gaussian elimination, and solving polynomials.

It would seem that such tasks would be extremely difficult for someone working with the Roman numerals.

> JavaScript is inherently single-threaded, so an isolate can only be executing code on behalf of one request at a time. That said, it is already the case that multiple concurrent requests may be handled by the same isolate (one request may be executing while another is e.g. waiting for a response from a remote server). But today you can't really take advantage of that, because you have no control over exactly which isolate receives any particular request, no any way to communicate between neighboring isolates. This is definitely something we're working on but nothing to announce at this time.

I've seen this used in a few contexts, for instance batching requests to a origin (logflare: https://github.com/Logflare/cloudflare-app/blob/master/worke...).

Is this generally seen as ok? I'm planning on building similar things for sending page metrics in parallel to serving traffic.

> > Inability to rate limit Workers in a cost effective way gives me sleepless nights

Agreed, there is something very challenging with the current design of how requests flow through cloudflare.

I have played around with dynamic rules in firewall by manually handling "firewall rules" in a worker as part of a request flow and using KV to share this state. I would then update the cloudflare firewall with api. I had to create a separate service to poll both API and KV to maintain them though.

Indeed, I do not mean to suggest that shared computing is necessarily a net negative. Sharing a remotely accessible computer among trusted friends/family has always been an interesting idea to me because it would allow such easy communication. The way I see it, this is the core idea that underlies "e-mail" on UNIX. A group of people sharing accounts on a computer. UNIX allows easy messaging between accounts. Another group doing the same thing on another computer. Connect the two computers over a telephone line and now we have messaging to people in another group. Today, if you and I can both connect to the same computer, where we both have accounts, that is still an easy way to do messaging, in my opinion. Computers are no longer prohibitively expensive. There is no requirement that the computer belong to a third party. The ongoing problem however is that there needs to be someone who can administer the computer. It is not easy enough for anyone to do. It seems the "sysadmin" is still needed as much today as in the past.
Might also be worth mentioning how much a GBP in 1912 is equivalent to today.

Whats the publicly available data on the crash rate of autonomous drones in the military, unrelated to targeted attacks. It is the best indication, noting that they fly in adverse weather and uncertain routes with possibly less visibility to fall-back systems, and on long-delay operators.

I would expect domestic autonomous flying to incur at least comparable rates of failure to the military for routine operations with root causes in weather, or systems problems, given the likely sharing of weather, and IT systems behind autonomous vehicles.

It would be interesting to see take off, cruise and landing distinctly to understand their risk profiles.

There is also the public perception problem: We tolerate a level of crashes in air transport, predicated on a belief the system is self-correcting. the 737 MAX was withdrawn from service. The lithium battery problem in the 787 was identified. The square windows in the Comet were identified as a root cause.

Will we tolerate a 0.0000001% effective crash risk rate, from autonomous vehicles with 400+ passengers?
Depreciation is also neither a credit nor a debit.

Doesn't one normally handle depreciation by creating an expense account called "depreciation", and recording the depreciation as a debit in the asset account and a credit in the depreciation account?

And couldn't one just as easily word that as, "We track the depreciation by creating an account for it, and recording a flow of money into it from the asset's account?"
We're using GPUs already on AWS for inference. The big problem is we have a worker pool of GPU servers and a task queue, leading to some latency if we don't have enough servers running and by the time the EC2 auto scaling group adds one the queue could be drained. Also we are seeing extra latency from requests originating from Asia since we currently have our servers located in a US region.

So basically all the classic benefits of serverless and edge computing would apply, the difference being we would need some more drivers, python libraries and a GPU attached.
I'm pumped to try it out, but the login flow didn't work for me. When I clicked either "Sign up" or "Login" from the respective pages, the button didn't do anything. The password reset button did work, though. On iOS, Firefox.
>> For example, requiring that 1:1 rainwater be recaptured

Collection of rainwater is never an option in farming. The reason they are irrigating is because there isn't enough rain. To capture enough rain to facilitate irrigation requires devices as large or larger than the fields to be irrigated. Rain barrels aren't enough. Agriculture measures water in acre-feet.

So you turn field B into a pond to hold water for field A. How deep is that pond? If it is only a couple feet you will loose all your water to evaporation. You need deeper water.
You need a dam. So you better be good at concrete retaining walls, or hope there is a convenient river valley on your plot.
You are correct about having no obligations, but as a company that is based in US and employs a large US-based workforce it benefits a lot from US itself being successful.
A car can't just stop in the middle of an intersection. Turn signals and traffic lights are similar to air traffic control. The risk of collision is much higher in a car than a plane, this is why you see many more traffic accidents than plane crashes. In both cases the rules are get where you want to be without colliding with anything or making passengers uncomfortable.

That would likely make matters worse, not better. Placing tariffs on goods from SE Asian countries (including, but not limited to, China) would increase the cost of manufacturing many products in the US which rely on materials from those countries, making those products less competitive in foreign markets.

I assume that if somebody had physically lost their ability to speak, it would now be possible to generate a pretty reasonable synthetic voice. Should we all be archiving a high-quality voice sample as insurance?

The implications for security are huge. If your friend calls you up for a very quick chat from an unknown number and asks you to remind them of your address, are you going to ask for authentication to prove it's really them and not a convincing synthetic voice?
I see, sorry. Thanks for clarifying your question.

Transactions always balance. Money always comes from somewhere, and it always goes to somewhere. Total debit always equals total credit.

In a double entry accounting system you have to say where that $200 came from.

Did it come from a sale (you sold your work, an item), a loan you took, someone you loaned money yourself, or an investment in your company.

In double accounting it always balances.

Here I am talking debit and credit because this is nothing to do with my point about positivity or negativity. This is how double entry bookkeeping works.

If you make all the numbers positive, then the total credit has to equate ('balance') with the total debit.

So treating debit as negative and credit as positive, means 'balancing' is just summing to 0.

Before double entry bookkeeping was invented in the Renaissance, single entry accounting just kept separate lists for all things. This works for basic tracking of money. For individuals particularly. But has massive weaknesses for tracking where money is coming from how it moves around, and making sure there aren't errors. Money doesn't come out of the blue. Which is why it is the business standard. And the legal requirement in most of the world. One of the most amazing and significant human innovations, IMO.

The credit and debit/what to add/what to subtract rules are only because double entry accounting was invented before use of negative numbers (they were only a weird mathematical curiosity at the time).

So I am not reinventing anything.
Being the flattest continent does not mean that the continent is flat. My point is that there is still plenty of hills and steep terrain around. It's not self evident that if you build a train line somewhere in Australia, that line will be flat. In fact the Pilbara automated rail network does contain some steep sections.

It still snows in Africa, and if you tried to climb Jebel Toubkal without a jacket I don't think knowing that Canada is snowier would provide you much comfort.

Personal circumstances vary of course, but for me, one of the perks of working from home is that I can help out when my spouse is having a rough day. Obviously, I don't spend all day helping with children, but I can occasionally take a break to comfort a crying child or help with something when my spouse's arms are full.

Also, after the first couple of weeks my young children had no problem understanding that when I'm in my office room I am working, and I can't play. But they do really enjoy seeing me at lunch, which didn't happen when I was WFO.

But again, that's just my experience and I'm sure it's different for other people.
