> Are there any resources this comprehensive for any other field of study? ... I was specifically interested in biotech

I recommend the FastAI course on deep learning. Several of their lectures relate to things their students have done in biotech and medical. The main lecturer Jeremy Howard has worked for years at the crossroads of medicinal technology and AI, and routinely discusses this.

The full fastai course is here[1] and free. Here is a blog post and associated video[2] as an example of fastai incorporating biotech into their work. In this example they use AI to upsample the resolution and quality of microscopes.

That is like saying I can take an untyped language and then add types. Sure you can!
That said, it's much nicer (to me) to first define the typing rules (static semantics) and then define evaluation (dynamic semantics) only on well-typed programs. This avoids the need to include lots of annoying stuff in the domain. See my other comment, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24180620, for an example of something I rather leave ill-typed.

That said, any "multicode" better describe the interopt with "unicode" in great detail for practical reasons. Still this is the "FFI", and one can be careful to let it not muddle things by e.g. not allowing every unicode string to be imported without additional metadata.

The zero in 0-day refers to the number of days since a patch/fix was released. Since a patch wasn't released for two years, it was a zero day that whole time.
If you want the advantages of the garbage collector but the power of native there are languages like D, Go, Rust, Objective-C, Swift.

If you want an "extremely fast, small and lightweight GUI framework" that also handles esoteric keyboards, RTL languages, screen reader accessibility and other things you can use your OSs native controls. I bet most naïve (and native) Cocoa/Win32 app will give you 100x better keyboard navigation than most Electron apps from large companies.
This isn’t suspicious at all. All AV does it for good reasons, both efficacy and performance related.

There's also the 512-bit matrix units which would be more like 3840 FLOP/cycle (single precision) for workloads that can be expressed that way
3) A friend who is moving to Santa Cruz just to be closer to surf while we are remote

Yeah? I've lived in SF and Santa Cruz. The quality of surf in Santa Cruz is vastly better, but the crowds are intense and at times pretty angry. I found it was less about localism, more about the anger of a large number of often very talented surfers competing for a scarce resource. I got longer, better rides in SC than I typically did in SF (by a 20-1 margin), but I'd have to maneuver for an hour to get priority for a few rides. They were glorious waves, though. Up here in SF, I tend to spread out on the beach break and find an uncrowded corner. Every thing has to line up just right to get a long, open, peeling wave out of a sand bar at OB or nearby beaches - whereas SC beaches (steamer lane, the point) generate this stuff pretty routinely.

But that's why it gets so edgy in SC. Everyone's in there, you finally get into position, it's your moment, you get maybe two of these every hour, and... someone paddles through the peak. Someone drops in. Even worse, that a someone is you, and you'll get barked at, at best (and while maybe the guy's being a dick about it, you really did fuck up). It's just too edgy, just boils over too much for my tastes. I know people say "well, don't do those things", but you'd be surprised how difficult that is. How do you know if you're deepest on a wave that breaks both directions? Did you drop in, or did someone snake? If you sit too far out, you'll miss the wave, and if you make it, there will be a sea of people you have to dodge. If you sit too far in, you may be staring down the barrel of a dozen surfers all taking off on the peak - and they'll either run you over, buzz you, or kick out of the wave and be really pissed that you ruined the ride that they spent the last 30 minutes getting ready for. Or, if someone does that to you, you kick out (better that than run the guy over), and now you're now caught inside and pissing off the next guy.

I surf regularly, and I'd much rather be in SF or Pacifica than in Santa Cruz. It's a trade off, though. If you want consistently high quality waves, SC does have more to offer.
Do people actually care about cocktails? How many can you drink every week?
The recognition is the easier part (I'd be more than happy to help, email in my profile), the far harder part is identifying what historic photos to identify them in. News archives would be a good source but copyright laws (rearing their ugly neck again) prevent us from easily obtaining a large stack of them.

I know the Australian Broadcasting Company has a lot of their archival video under Creative Commons, so that might be a good bet. If anyone has a better idea, please let us all know :)
The concept of licensing a national flag is interesting, other than to maybe prevent unwanted use in certain ways, is this not something owned by all Australian people?

If I draw one on a piece of paper and hang it from my balcony, where do I stand under this licensing?

And if I sell that on Etsy, or maybe a landscape that has an element in the background where this flag can be seen?

> Animal husbandry is a great way of converting inputs unfit for human consumption (animal feed) into something that is (meat) but it’s never very efficient.

Ideally, yes. In practice, we feed animals mostly things that we ourselves could eat ourselves - like corn, soy, and grains. Sure, you can find cute examples of cattle eating grass on rocky soil... but around 99% of animals are not grown that way... they are grown in factory farms where they're fed soy, corn, and grains.
It should be noted that AES-CBC doesn't have any instruction-level parallelism available.

Both EPYC and Xeons have 2-AES units per core now. But CBC can only effectively use one of them at a time. (Block(n+1) cannot be computed until block(n) is done computing. Because Block(n) is used as input into Block(n+1) in CBC mode).

AES-256-GCM can compute block(n) and block(n+1) simultaneously. So you need to use such a parallel algorithm if you actually want to use the 2x AES pipelines on EPYC or Xeon.

“Last year, the App Store’s apps (used on the iPhone) earned a staggering $519 billion in sales

[…]

Apple tacks on an “Apple tax” of 15-30% to every penny its third-party apps earn from Apple customers in the app”

I find it hard to reconcile those two numbers. Apple’s net income is about $60 billion (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/Q4%20FY19%20Consolidated...). The hardware they sell has high margins, so it should bring in part of that $60 billion.

The statements above seem to say they also get at least 15% of $519 billion, or $78 billion from their ‘tax’.

If so, why isn’t net revenue a lot higher?

What do I overlook?

(Aside: Apple’s percentage is 15 or 30% of sale price, isn’t it? That would make the percentage they add 18 or 43%)
Asian monasteries have their share of weird and broken monks. Sutras and biographies are full of descriptions of people getting mentally ill. "Meditation sickness" is well documented.

This is why the Stellar blockchain looks promising. On the Stellar blockchain, you put your trust in anchors and issuers (human entities) and each blockchain-subset (roughly the trust-union of specific-token issuers and specific-token anchors you choose) can create a highly distributed / decentralized blockchain from each users perspective, depending on how many anchors and issuers you are willing to trust.

It's a wonderful hybrid of "high-social-trust" networks run by humans (banks, governments) and distributed trust via code / your choice.
Yeah...no. Most voters are not paying to the nitty-gritty of legislation that their representative votes on. Representatives rarely ever read the full text of the bills they vote on. It's a stretch to say voters do so, let alone use that info to inform their votes. As you said, these are partisan times and voters mostly just vote for "their guy" (or gal).

In the case of Amazon, they failed to receive the tax break they wanted from one locality, after protests. They still got it from the Virginia location and they found out what other cities were willing to offer them. More importantly, because of their size they were able to make demands that smaller businesses could not - so it's not like all businesses benefit from these lower taxes. And dozens of stories like this play out nationwide every year, without much coverage. This is standard operating procedure when Walmart opens a new location.

Microservices is for scaling applications that need to handle a high volume of transactions (millions+) with the expectation of high growth in transaction volume. It became a solution for Uber and Netflix when the exploding user requests caused their monoliths to become difficult to manage/modify/deploy. An application that handles hundreds to thousands of transactions doesn't necessarily have the problem that requires the microservices solution. The main tradeoff of microservices is that it increases the complexity of software, and has a lot of moving parts that need to be done right to achieve the advantage. The hype of encourage every to-do app creator to use microservices may be an overkill. The writer of the post does have the incentive to encourage the use of microservices and the utilization of their services.

The archaeology of Crimea is pretty interesting; abandoned Soviet submarine bases, Genoese castles, Pontic and Byzantine ruins.

I'd be interested if it ever existed before the original artist made it but have my sincere doubts is even a remote possibility, historians seem to be of the opinion he just made it up in the 70's and it stuck.

Neither I nor the post I was replying to limited meditation to traditional practices. Nor were we talking about the roots of meditation.

Yes, the roots of meditation are in religious practices (as, are, arguably, the roots of every human activity). That doesn't mean that contemporary meditation practices are necessarily religious. Many aren't.

So if you're talking about the term "meditation" in general (as we were), to limit it to a religious practice is a mistake. It's much broader than that, even if it derives ultimately from something that once had a religious aspect.

But do they implement the same programming paradigm, or is there any fundamental differences

For example, C# and Java implement the same paradigm , they are different, many argue which provide a better set of feature, but I would not call the differences fundamental

C#, F#, implement completely different paradigms

F# and Clojure, same paradigm, but have fundamental differences, F# being static and come from the ML family , Clojure dynamic and come from the Lisp family

So APL to J, is more like what to what, C# to Java, or F# to Clojure ??
I built my first site (about five pages, mostly sharing some family pictures I’d scanned in on my dad’s fancy color SCSI scanner) in Claris HomePage, and put it on a Whistle InterJet that had a static public IP address.

Back then domain names were something like $80 or $100, so I decided to forego a domain and use the IP. The site didn’t get much traffic besides my own visits!
Host a bunch of campaign sites - many using the program talked about here.

It would be cool to have more precise numbers and neat stats on more specific attacks but as long as I'm protected I don't really care.

Regardless of that...

I'd argue the reality is it's nearly impossible, expensive, or just plain risky to host any high-profile website without Cloudflare today (using their campaign offering or not). Between security and random traffic spikes it's simply an awesome / killer / the absolute best deal. All clients must go on Cloudflare for me.

The only other option is to go 100% static - ultimate security and speed - which also has its trade-offs.

Cloudflare actually doesn't offer a pure static option even with their election protection program. The ability to just go "pure static" doesn't exist to my understanding.

E.g.: You can try to mimic "fake static" by turning on 100% HTML Page Cache on, Firewall rules to block non GET/HEAD requests. This still subjects you to cache busting techniques to hit origin (/?fbid=1, /?fbid=2, /?fbid=3, etc...). This is because ignoring query strings and pure HTML cache only would only be possible using Workers or an Enterprise plan with Custom Cache Keys - both which are not offered under their campaign program.

The best work-around would be rate-limiting but that still exposes origin and has it's trade-offs.

Google offers an election program [1] which is more the pure cache = pure security philosophy. Way, way less flexible though. Just some thoughts.

A lot of VST/AU plugins already use Qt, JUCE or SynthMaker for the GUI and are completely inaccessible.

On the other hand, there are a lot of web pages and Electron apps that are completely inaccessible as well, despite using accessibility-ready web tech.

The problem is not really the lack of an abstraction layer, but more the fact that those developers are doing a shitload of work to make something look über cool and different from everyone else without taking a couple weeks (or maybe not even that much) to iron out accessibility issues.

By the way, at least for plugins, another option is not doing any GUI at all and just exposing all parameters to the host, like the AirWindows guy does [1]. Or using native OS controls. This is both very accessible and EXTREMELY cheap.

Your point about latency is the reason why we can't use GPUs for realtime audio processing, even though they would be absolutely otherwise well-suited. Stuff like computing FFTs and convolution could be done much faster on GPUs, but the latency would be prohibitive in realtime audio.

OT comes with very different problems when it comes to representing tables. Structured content (tables, tables containing tables, tables containing quotes containing tables, ..) is much better represented using CRDTs.

And another note, Yjs completely supports the OT rich-text type (i.e. delta format [1]). This is how the Quill editor was made collaborative.

So Yjs is at least as powerful as OT. If you want, you can still base your application around OT deltas, but Yjs is IMO much easier to use.

I was using "good school" in response to the parent comment's use of it. I didn't define it, but in fact I agree with nearly everything you wrote - the fact is that what we call "bad" schools has more to do with the extraordinary social challenges those schools face vs. more well-off schools.

However, you don't have to eliminate the wealth/income gap to achieve that. Providing social supports enjoyed by wealthier areas (universal Pre-K, universal healthcare, drug/alcohol treatment, small business loans) will help significantly.
