You were not using native ESM in Node years ago. Node 14 shipped with unflagged ESM support just this year. (If I had to take a guess, you were probably transpiling "import" statements into "require" statements and/or bundles, which honestly works better than native ESM, because there's no interop issue.)

Almost all of the most depended on NPM packages are CJS, and provide no ESM exports. https://www.npmjs.com/browse/depended

lodash, react, chalk, commander, moment, express, axios, and vue are all CJS.
Information transparency and negotiating assistance with respect to compensation, better handling of harassment and discrimination claims, and better protections against arbitrary termination without either chance to improve that's more genuine than most PIPs (if bad performance or mild misbehavior is claimed) or a right to compensation (if it's something like a layoff or restructuring).

Very real problems in the tech industry, all of which a union could help with, and none of which require the clearly mismatched "you can't touch that socket - call the union electrician" contract provisions from industries like trade shows that the anti-union people like to overfocus on.

This is your regular reminder that extrapolating an outcome from a country like Portugal (an outcome we should all be happy about, by the way) to a country like the United States is unwise. I've never been to Portugal, but have friends that live in both Spain and Portugal and I'm pretty envious of the kind of community and shared identity they describe. I image that probably has something to do with the outcome seen there. So, while I think it's possible to decriminalize all drug use in certain contexts, we've tried this experiment in some US cities and it's not resulted in anything anyone could describe as a success.

>Addiction has a huge situational component.

Yes, this is exactly what I'm getting at.

>20% of US GIs in Vietnam were addicted to heroin. When they returned home 90% of them stopped using heroin overnight, indefinitely [2].

This seems to contradict your previous point, no? In Vietnam there was of course zero enforcement, outside of the military (I'm being charitable here for reasons that should be obvious), and they returned home to a country where the drug was illegal.

Edit: very interesting, the negative reaction to this comment. What I said is true, so I can only assume that people who are reacting negatively are doing so because they are projecting a view on me that I do not hold.

I'm sure AVX-512 is wonderful and you can easily produce examples where it makes loops go N times faster. That
unfortunately is missing the point.

Microprocessors implementation is an extremely careful balance and effectively everything is a trade off. The area, power, and complexity of features comes at a non-zero cost to code that doesn't use it.

The fact that AVX-512 isn't on every processor AND the performance benefits are FAR from obvious (as the core clocks down when using it) really hinders its adoption, which in turn lowers the value; a downward spiral.

Intel is in a fine mess of their own making. I'm no fan of either company and AMD gets perhaps a little too much credit as things would have looked a lot different had 10 nm succeeded on the original schedule, but I bought my first AMD processor since Athlon 64 because it's better.

The problem with this video is the same problem with most other "debunking" attempts, they aren't really examining the other side's arguments charitably. Its true that would take a lot more time and effort but if you're not willing to put that time and effort into your work, you end up being part of the bifurcation of consensus reality. Qanon believers are going to immediately see how you approached the subject with a preconceived verdict, and people who don't agree with the qanon thesis are only going to watch this for confirmation of their own beliefs. The end result is that people on either side of the issue interpret the artifact as confirmation of the beliefs they already held.

People always paint these as some conspiracies against unions but there's plenty of genuine discontent with unions amongst the public and there's some legitimate concerns with them.

You can see it today with police unions being the biggest hawks blindly defending any police abuse and protecting them for ever being fired. This elephant in the room often gets ignored in public discourse. And the police aren't the only ones.

I grew up in a small town where unions were used like mini fiefdoms riddled with nepotism where you had to know someone to get a job. Theres also a long history of racism in unions, the original forming of them in the US were to exclude low wage black workers from 'stealing' white jobs.

It seems to work well at first before slowly morphing into a rigid protection racket for current employees, locking a company down to its current structure (which only makes sense for a few slow moving homogeneous industries like factories - until of course they simply automate or move to Asia or shut down).

It's also notable people always use historical nostalgic examples to hype up some golden age of unions for jobs that no longer exist for some reason...

They've also long been covers for corruption and back room political influence.

I personally believe unions are long overdue for reform and modernization. I'd maybe support something like unions-light, but today they always come with tons of other baggage like preventing bad workers from being fired, adding tons of bureaucracy and hoop jumping, crippling companies ability to adapt to market changes, forcing people like comedians and small indie bands to hire 30 different people for individual jobs (like paying a guy $40hr to pull a cord to open the curtains and nothing else which happens in NY clubs) creating inefficiencies which hurt company growth and customers and therefore employees/economies/taxes, completely shutting down small businesses who simply can't afford to support unions, not applying well to companies with a variety of different job roles, etc.

It's like a sledgehammer when most people just want to make more $$.

You do not have to be a qualified doctor to check the sources. You do have to be thorough in checking the consensus and recommendations of major health organisations and verify scientific papers, a lot of which is published in the open on for instance PubMed, big name journals etc.

This one was easy - the claim was not backed by any amount of previously published research.

It is legal and easy to check for a registered trial. Something this big and cheap and likely to have major consequences should have been pre-registered. (Literally deadly consequences.)

And even if it were, it should be reproduced first before being followed by general public.

Most importantly article claims that it is unnecessary to wear masks, while the trial did not involve masks at all.

That needs some serious citations. If you're saying it's evidenced by the soviet military in the Eastern block I encourage you to look at the US presence in Nato countries. I know that history in the US is largely a picture of American exceptionalism and "we were always the good guys", but actual history has many more shades of gray. This is one thing that the allies (in both parts of Germany) did reasonably well, break the circle of history as a means for teaching patriotism.

He's completely right. Hyperthreading is all about putting idle functional units to work when you can't extract instruction level parallelism from single threaded code. His claim is that Intel processors did better and thus only got a small relative boost from HT (IIRC it used to be 10%, maybe it's 20% now). If your processor does poorer at ILP extraction, you get relatively more out of HT.

This all agree with the benchmarks in which Intel still generally is ahead on single thread performance. For a more extreme case look to older POWER processors which were 4-way threaded, presumably because they were even worse on single threaded code.
Sure, and then when they are wrong you go down with the ship, oblivious.

Especially as it is prescribed in the US, where drugs get preferred instead of other interventions. "Back pain? Opioids. No PT, no losing weight, just opioids. No, not even NSAIDS, just go for opioids"

Remember that some drug companies pushed for their medication to be in 12h regimens which increased their dependency potential, as opposed to a shorter interval preferred by doctors?

As a personal experience, opioids don't seem to work much for me on many types of pain.

I know this is going to be unpopular, but I just want to think about this companies perspective to add a bit of balance to this thread.

I know a lot of people on here feel like work from home is just as productive or even more so than working in the office, especially in the case of open office layouts, but it's just not universally true.

Some people are really good with responsibility, and some people really are not.

As an illustrative example, you might have 20% of workers working at 120% efficiency, 50% of workers working at 80% efficency, and 30% of workers working at 10% efficiency. This example comes out to about 67% productivity overall.

But you are still paying 100% of the salaries.

It would be nice if you could just tell the 30% who have terrible efficiency to come in while everyone else can work from home, but you can't. It immediately going to be seen as unfair. "Why does X get to work from home and I don't?!". Many people don't even have the self awareness to tell that they are terrible at working from home.

Another option would paying people for the amount of work they are actually delivering. Yeah, that isn't going to happen. I mean, for a start, it's hard to even quantify most of the time. A good manager knows who is delivering and who isn't, but you can't exactly point to number of bugs closed, or lines of code checked in to prove it.

And aside from anything else differing pay is a hard pill to swallow even without WFH involved. The guy earning 200k might be 4x as useful as the guy being paid 100k, or he may be no better or even worse!

My point is that there is no really satisfactory option here. I mean, you can make the argument "It's a pandemic, they should be happy to pay the same amount for 67% of the work" and sure, maybe that's just the way the cookie crumbles. I mean, lots of people are being totally forced out of business due to this pandemic so it's better situation than those guys I guess?

But you can at least understand that it's a sucky position to be in.

The fact that gold has historically been used as money in some places doesn't mean it's money now. Money is a commodity that is used as a medium of exchange. Today, gold is not used as a medium of exchange, i.e. most people are not paid in gold and don't buy things with it. Therefore gold is not money.
Thanks for doing this!, though this idea has been done often. I still think there's plenty of room for improvement, there was an app called ParrotRead that did something like this very well but they ended the project for unclear reasons.
I'm not missing the point as I was responding to whether AVX-512 is useful in practice. It is. It is some badly designed extensions where the earlier ones were great: it's arguably better than the earlier ones.

Now adoption has been poor and there is a chicken-and-egg effect as you point out, but that's separate from the question of whether AVX-512 is useful in practice. It is.

The point about tradeoffs is well taken. It's not like Intel (or any other vendor) is rolling back progress in other areas to add larger vector units: rather they try to progress along all viable axes at once.
> Reuse has lowered Falcon 9 costs internally, and increased its private discounts, but not it’s public pricing

It's not just a discount - it is the reversed equivalent of banks charging interest for a loan due to failure risk. Private customers getting discounts accept the increased risk that some re-used part fails. Essentially SpaceX has managed to have their r&d subsidized by paying customers instead of having to borrow money, launch dummy payloads and pay the money back.
Not in practice. It's only used for reference coercions to existing objects.

You would need to ignore the documentation and bend over backwards to use it for an actual type conversion, because you can only return references.
AVX-512 really has two parts. It widens vectors to 512 bits, but it also makes the instruction set much more orthogonal and clean. It also adds masking of lanes.

These latter parts are what's really useful about AVX-512. The widening of the vectors is just an area tradeoff that depends a lot on the particular workload.
They do two different things, but they do different things the way the style they're written in encourages. Performance-considerations aside, the functional programmer would rather create a new list (or, as you said, they're "interested in maximum constness" - the precise preference for statelessness Wirth is calling out); the imperative programmer would mutate the existing list.

Wirth is not talking about clarity, not in the sense of "can I look at the code and understand the high-level intent of the programmer"; Wirth is interested in clarity in the sense of "can I look at the code and understand exactly what it's doing, at every level"?

For Wirth, programming is not about using an endless stack of primitives that get you further and further from the physical machine, so much that they start to obfuscate what's happening at lower layers. It's about building the smallest, simplest stack of primitives such that you can express yourself effectively while still understanding the entirety of the system. The Oberon system includes everything from the HDL for the silicon all the way up to the OS and compiler in around 10,000 lines of code because you're supposed to be able to keep all of it in your head.

I'm not saying that any of this is correct, per se, nor am I arguing for it - I'm sympathetic to it in some ways and disagree with it in others (I am, in fact, very much into FP). I'm just trying to give a charitable and clear interpretation of his perspective. FP may not want to get rid of state in one sense, as you've pointed out; but it wants to get rid of state in another, and Wirth doesn't like that because it necessitates complexity - and Wirth hates that.
