Why? If it’s cheap on a per-dose basis and has the potential for major social benefit (saved lives and avoided healthcare costs) that seems like exactly the sort of program that would be an efficient use of government resources. There’s a clear, measurable, and nearly immediate return on our investment.
The Labour leaks prove that Labour did try to fix it - Corbyn should've booted all the neo-liberals out of his party via mandatory reselections. Unfortunately, he's too decent to play dirty - but that's what's needed right now.

I think it's pretty clear that Rachel Reeves, Ian Austin et al are not allies when they are funnelling money and faking ad spend, and leaking lies to the press specifically to stop labour from winning.

(I'm not referring to all claims of antisemitism here as lies by the way, but many of the stories that broke in the Guardian were later redacted as bunk)
There's gotta be a better word for this than "obvious."

The key thing about ideas that are "brilliant and obvious in hindsight" is that the world was already ready for them, and so nothing needed to change for them to happen; i.e., they don't have any prerequisites that aren't already in place. They "just" needed someone to actually notice that there were some pieces that could be fit together in a novel way.

There's no word I know of that captures this idea of "the world being ready for" the idea, though. Is the idea "incremental" in hindsight? "Elegant" in hindsight? "Free" in hindsight?
I didn't mean to say that Optimize as a tool is an incumbent. What I meant is that Google and Adobe as companies are incumbents.
Yes. Molten Salt Reactors (MSR), while operating very hot, are not operating under a lot of pressure. A pressurized water reactor (PWR) does, and if there is a leak or other problem, it can turn into an explosion.
I don't mean to be dismissive of your argument. I'm trying to follow it. However, your argument seems to be for a country of passive, ignorant sheep that let whoever is in the White House do whatever they want?

The problem in '03 wasn't that people were reading too much, it was that they had no idea what was going on. The more you read, the more news from the President becomes contextualized, and you can have a more nuanced opinion on it. If the President says "Iraq bad" and you don't know anything about Iraq, it's hard to go "well, actually, it's a little more complicated than that."

Edit: I have a masters in international affairs. But, when I want to talk international affairs, the person I call up is my buddy with a high-school diploma, not people from my cohort. My less-formally-educated friend reads widely, and has a much more grounded take on everything going on around us that sometimes makes me stop and rethink my own opinions. The power of reading widely and often is pretty spectacular in my opinion, and can sometimes trump a formal education in a subject.
AWS or GCS charge for VMs in actual clock (wall) time though, right?

Tthat your load may spend more or less time waiting on IO instead of actually using the CPU... I would not expect to effect your charge. Which is the main difference between wall time and actual CPU time, right?

> This is so grossly political that it's disgusting

A one-trillion dollars company can only be tackled politically, let's not fool ourselves here. In other words I find nothing "disgusting" about this, if anything the US authorities should have been more open in their approach, i.e. pointing out that letting a few tech behemoths take control of our society (a highly technological one) it's not in the best interest of the populace. Again, you cannot tackle (very) big stuff like this in a non-political matter.
1. If I buy a car, I expect to get the actual car I ordered, not the experimental model they will be offering next year. You could argue customers are not paying for the software anyways... but I suspect that is not always the case.

2. IF I wanted to go into a focus group, I would go there, and expect to be somehow rewarded for my troubles. I certainly would not tolerate marketeers slithering into my house at night, change things at random, and then spy on my to see how I react.

3. I'd still want to know what those fixes are.

4. The vast majority of users do not read the fine print either. That does not change the fact that banks are not allowed to change your mortgage terms and falsify your signature into the new contract.

5. It is NOT best for a IRL utility provider to promptly notify you when the terms of service have changed, it is MANDATORY UNDER THE LAW.

6. You could publish the change log in English, and each customer would decide whether they wanted to translate those or not, and how much would they pay for the translation.

All in all, Silicon Valley still does not care about its customers. You will not be hearing about it in the news because it has always been like that.
If you have an application that renders more items than Svelte can handle (not many, we're in the web, you have 15ms max per frame, on a single thread), it will simply keel over and die. Scheduling is natural in native systems, you have occlusion, prioritization and threading of course. Svelte has no means whatsoever to counter load.

With what React is attempting currently your app will render as much as it possibly can while maintaining stable 60fps, the rest gets deferred while it can differ between lesser and higher-priority updates. If you doubt how important scheduling is, look at practically any feasible list component, they're all virtualized. With React every aspect and corner of the application is like that. In theory it could outperform native apps.

Btw, there are countless of robust desktop apps being made with HTML: VSC, Whatsapp, Skype, Spotify, Notion, Hyper, Discord, Slack, ... thought most of them will still feel sluggish compared to a native counterpart. React will change that.

Most of the blog post was about reverse engineering the control protocol and automating the unit. The same principles could be applied to other A/C units, like window units that are ubiquitous in many parts of the US. It is not specific to split system, they didn't even install it themselves, that was a minor part of the blog post. Also, their methodology of writing their own software is uncommon anywhere, even in Japan; but that's true of many things that get posted here, that's what makes them interesting.

This is why I'm convinced independent journalists are the future. Fact finding itself is a shrinking part of the job. Fact checking the monunental amount of data out there is increasingly important. As such, the need for these megacorp publishers is going away.

Edit: Just look at the BLM movement. Lots of people believe these are peaceful civil disobedience and lots of people believe they're communist race riots. Right now, the question is basically "who do you want to believe?" I don't claim to have an answer but I just hope that the right ideas will win in an open space with small creators.
That is a simplified assumption

everyone starts off human

then money distorts things

I have seen a lot of very honest people get suckered into doing things they never would

once money starts coming in, people's morals change to accommodate how they make money

I gave example where the news were completely and utterly false compared to what the real truth was -- that's not just "not perfectly accurate" but completely opposite of the truth.

I'm not sure how inaccurate it would be to describe death as really a "pretty nasty long term effect" in itself.

Not necessarily; one could formulate the tread rubber for such wider tires so they're less grippy per square cm of tread contact-surface, and so exactly as grippy as before per fully-loaded tire. Basically making every change in the opposite direction from what dragster tires do (other than the width.)

One thing that always confuses me about the business factors in this kind of announcement, where they say that the vast majority of users won't be effected:

> We evaluted CI/CD minute usage and found that 98.5% of free users use 400 CI/CD minutes or less per month.

Okay, so just that 1.5% of free users, each using at most 1600 minutes more than the 400 under the new limits... is enough cost to actually matter and make it worth making this change?

Or they anticipated that number going up if they didn't make the change?

It seems odd to me to say "This hardly effects anyone at all, almost everyone can keep doing exactly what they are doing for the same price (free in this case)", AND "this was necessary for the sustainability of our budget."

What am I missing?

I had some interesting interactions with him (and former deput asst secretary of treasury DeLong) on this site. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17163449

He certainly got the better of that interaction and he was patient enough to continue the conversation on Twitter later. He was one of those intellectuals (like Noam Chomsky) who is accessible and engaging with members of the public. I wouldn't say I knew him, exactly, but we became internet acquaintances, and I appreciated his thoughtfulness whenever we interacted. I can only imagine how many other people had such opportunities to talk to him and will miss him like I will.
Agreed with this: In fact, Zuckerberg strikes me as someone acting insincerely, making arguments in bad faith, with no regard to civic responsibilities, which makes perfect sense given his self-serving ideals and well-known financial incentives. And I come to that opinion based on his views and actions, notwithstanding the transparent attempts to buy good PR under the guise of philanthropy.

Well there is at least one reason that release notes are bad: any mention of any new feature or specific fix seems to trigger more scrutiny from Apple reviewers.

The more information you provide, the more likely it is that your app will be held up in review or you will get additional questions from reviewers delaying your release.

I generally still try to err on the side of including information in my release notes, but I have been bitten by this enough times that I completely understand this practice and sympathize with other app developers.
No worries, happens to the best of us :)

But we still don't know if the persons with multiple bad risk factors were those who ended with bad outcomes? As far as I understand, if it was like that or not can't be seen from the paper at all, and I can imagine that it could have happened. I would really prefer the more raw data to the tables with the selected means and deviations given.

Goes for software engineers personally as well, the difference between working on something that's ethical and working on something that isn't probably is the difference between a comfortable five figure salary and an absurd six figure one, not living in a subway station

>That UB means literally anything is possible

Many people say this but nobody "literally" believes it.

It's a way of expressing the righteous dominance of one person or group's attitude towards reasonableness over another's. In a way that forestalls argument.

"Literally anything" could literally mean global thermonuclear war.

If I understood John's motivation from the video, it's that this enables the Flatten structure to be inspectable, because the innards are not hidden behind an opaque closure (A => F[B]), as is the case in regular Monad.

Btw, this is a problem that the "Selective applicative functor" too aims to alleviate.

You can read more about the inspectability problem (and Selective) at http://eed3si9n.com/selective-functor-in-sbt

The context there is sbt, which is a build tool, but I'm sure the inspectability plays role in many other areas. Note, how he contrasts "Applicative composition" and "Monadic composition".

Sure, I'm aware of those reasons (and can think of many more). As a user/customer, I don't care about any of those details. I still want to know what's changing when I click "Update".

If users have automatic/background updates, sure, they apparently don't care about release notes. For everyone else, the release notes are really the only way to know what changes are going to happen upon clicking "Update". Having those notes be [effectively] blank is a substantial disservice to the user.

It's depressingly frequent that an app I used to enjoy takes a major dive in user experience. For a contrived example, I don't like finding out I am now suddenly blocked from using my messaging app because they force me to use a new cloud-based account system I can't opt out of, and none of this was mentioned before I clicked Update. Or another favorite: an update that does nothing more than introduce in-app advertisements.
I thought maybe he finished the book on origins of inequality with David Wengrow. But he said it is a book about kings. He published the book "On Kings" in 2017, it is in open access [1]. I assume he talked about another book about kings.

David Graber wrote in his bio: «I am currently working with the archaeologist David Wengrow on a whole series of works completely re-imagining the whole question of “the origins of social inequality,” starting with the way the question is framed to begin with.» [7]

With David Wengrow he published an article "Farewell to the ‘childhood of man’: ritual, seasonality, and the origins of inequality" in 2015. [2] They did a talk presenting the article. [3] They published an article "How to change the course of human history (at least, the part that’s already happened)" in 2018. [4] And "Are we city dwellers or hunter-gatherers?" in 2019. [5] They talked about their work again in 2019. [6]

I wonder if they planned to do more. It seemed as something of an even bigger scale than the Debt if turned into a book. But maybe it always was going to be a series of articles.

Edit: It was going to be a book. In his 2018 cv Graber writes: «As Co-Author or Co-Editor in Preparation
Beyond Inequality, or The Dawn of Everything, or maybe something else. Monograph currently in preparation with David Wengrow (Institute of Archaeology, University College London): a radical rethinking of existing narratives of the
origin of social inequality from 40,000 CE to the present. As currently imagined, this is most likely to be the first volume of a subsequent trilogy that will easily outsell the Lord of the Rings.» [8]

I have used more than 12 langs. I think rust having a small std library is best for it kind of lang, but I'm sympathetic to your view.

What I think will help is have a "Rust Distribution" like anaconda, where that "defacto" crates are combined and more importantly, are part of the maintainments effort.

But to avoide the fate of python and others, that "Rust Distribution" is mean to exist ONLY FOR THE EDITION. When a new edition show, then another "Rust Distribution" with +/- crates is defined and that is the what is to be used. This ways, you know what to use as long you stay in the edition, and if you move, you know is to move along (and you can still use the older crates anyway)...
This is 100% not correct. It is just made up, fake.

Back when Resilio Sync was known as Bittorrent Sync, I proposed it as a file-sharing solution between multiple locations for the company I was working for. Immediately returned with an emphatic refusal to use any kind of software that had "Bittorrent" in the name, regardless of what it was for.

This is the same company where they picked up I had "Bittorrent Software" installed on my work laptop, and the people who ran the auditing software freaked out because, you know, it's Bittorrent! I told them it was a single icon in my PortableApps folder but they just kept saying "There's a Bittorrent client on your PC, you could be fired!" until I deleted the icon.

So yes, the fact it's associated with piracy has made a huge difference in some places.

And, also, you're talking about one expert opinion, perhaps this person doesn't live at 41 degrees south where our both too cold and too dark for half the year or more to get enough sun exposure and peoples diets are often quire poor.

I'd personally tie a domain to a paid email account hosted by a provider that is in a sound market position (not e.g. Yahoo), doesn't have a reputation for arbitrarily revoking accounts (not Google), and doesn't have overly aggressive spam controls (not Microsoft).

That doesn't leave many options.
I guess I saw lifecycle methods as a code smell anyway. I pretty much only used them when I had to bridge the gap to some third-party code that didn't live nicely within my React/state management world, or when I was forced to do some manual DOM fiddling in one or two cases. Nothing related to my core logic or state would ever live there, so I never reached a point of "complicated lifecycle management".
I think you may have misunderstood my comment... I'm saying that if the walled garden app stores are supposed to be good for users (especially if this is one of their marketing bullet points), one might reasonably expect that "high-detail release notes" ought to be one of the requirements for app developers, imposed by the owner of the app store (Apple, Google, etc.) .. This way users get a good understanding of what changes will happen when they download an update of a given app.
