Why would they not want to revive you? How awesome would it be, if we could revive someone who lived around the year 1500, 1000 or even 0? I expect people in the year 3000 (if there are still people around and if they have it relatively good) would see it equally when looking to the year 2000.
If anyone wants to play around with the geometric algebra over R^3 in C++, I wrote a little library a while back which handles vectors (3d), quaternions (4d), bivectors (3d, quaternions without the scalar part), multivectors (8d)

We have both at the office. I have found the opposite to be true. OpenOffice is able to open certain xlsx files where as LibreOffice cannot open them. I cannot just downloaded the latest versions. I am stuck with what is available on RHEL.
Agree.
Plus I'd also like to highlight how experimentation platforms/tools are sold as 'conversion uplifter'. All orgs are looking for solutions to take their conversion graphs up and to the right. And they are ready to pay hefty sums for any tool that speaks to this motivation.

But then they are asked to wait! Wait for the concept to mature within the org. Time being of critical importance most orgs end up getting frustrated as what they initially started with doesn't hold true now. And when you already have lots of money, it's easy to switch.

Something similar from Israel [1], the official Corona tracking app was supposed to be based on Open Source.

They decompiled the APK, and moved on from there. Note that the code itself is not everything, there are configuration files, databases and some data that comes with the app

I feel like this should be more common. People kill themselves to escape their lives, but they should vanish and start again instead.
> How does that follow? What right do you have to demand that things be manufactured in a particular way?

They have every right to demand something be manufactured a specific way. The manufacturer doesn’t have to listen but the consumer has the right to demand. Manufacturing is not some black box process that happens “over there” and you get whatever rolls out of it. Consumers have every right to give feedback to manufacturers and request for the production of products that better suit their needs, and if the manufacturer fails to do that the consumer can go somewhere else. The whole point of this is preference
This Week in Java
Ah, I was working on a similar idea when I was in upper secondary school. But I was unable to do get what I want with my very limited electronics knowledge back then :)

I was thinking of storing and playing the data in an analog way, pretty much like a regular compact cassette meant for audio. I thought it was a better idea after seeing audio casettes can store 60/90 minutes of audio but they can hold only very little digital data (I had a commodore that I found in my grandma's cellar and those casettes were my unit of measure)

A side-scrolling game with accurate physics simulation where you fly around in a cave system fighting alien monsters, finding secrets and solving puzzles? Reminds me of Exile (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6rbjU8sCP0), a sadly overlooked Amiga classic which I enjoyed very much back in the day. Of course, Exile didn't have every pixel simulated (not doable at the time) and had more of a science fiction look, but I think I'll still try Noita out when I have some time... one big difference however is that while in Noita "death is permanent", in Exile death simply was not possible - each time your energy got low enough, you were simply teleported to a spot you had marked previously or, if you forgot to do that, back to your spaceship. Which did make things less frustrating, because the game was pretty tough...

2000 was the pinnacle of Windows' golden age. iPhone golden age was probably 2007 to 2010. I was there. Nothing better than star products in their growth phase. Unfortunately MBAs are taught a self-fulfilling prophecy that what invariably follows in a product's lifecycle is decline. So once it hits market saturation, they immediately pivot their strategy towards squeezing the most value out of a community as its members are willing to tolerate. As it turns out, 3.8 billion smartphone users are willing to tolerate a lot.
It seems odd that students feel enslaved by the for-profit schools, and yet attack everyone BUT the school itself.
One place I’ve run into these kinds of errors frequently was in a heavily locked down corporate LAN. All kinds of messed up firewall rules doing wild things. As an example, had a node with a misconfigured egress rule. Trying to connect to it, the node would receive the SYN, but the SYN/ACK would get eaten on egress... so for 60 seconds both sides believed a connection existed, but you couldn’t do anything. Then it times out and starts all over again.

> The big difference is that duplicate index entries can still occur in B-tree indexes. GIN indexes have to integrate new entries into the posting list every time, which makes data modifications less efficient (this is mitigated by the pending list). In contrast, PostgreSQL deduplicates B-tree entries only when it would otherwise have to split the index page. So it has to do the extra work only occasionally, and only when it would have to do extra work anyway. This extra work is balanced by the reduced need for page splits and the resulting smaller index size.

You seem confused. The "utopian enlightened state" as you weirdly mischaracterize it is about overcoming the well known psychological phenomenon.

You wouldn't call every non-instinctive skill (from reading to playing piano to shooting a basketball) that you learn in life a "utopian enlightened state", would you?
What you say is true. Perhaps, a distinction ought to be made between mere mortals like us, and the obsessed ones. In our era where information is more easily available than food, and where experienced people willing to help, are just as reachable, I think for someone who dedicates the time towards mastery, 2 years will take him/her very far.

Interesting. We definitely need that as a law everywhere. People want to escape from abusers and sharks all the time.
The course is really for anyone who has a curiosity in applying computational science to solving problems. If you are motivated by Victor's essay on "What can a technologist do about Climate change" (http://worrydream.com/ClimateChange/) or Alan Edelman's "A programming language to heal the planet" (https://www.ted.com/talks/alan_edelman_a_programming_languag...), then you should follow this class.

It does many things differently than the traditional way of teaching such a course. Specifically the emphasis on applications that matter today (epidemiology, climate change, etc.) are a key part of the course, where a more traditional approach may have been to cover a series of numerical methods.
Cancel culture's greatest achievement is creating just enough fear that non-believers will volunteer to do their dirty work - even without being asked.

I signed up when this post was first posted, but haven't heard anything back yet. Is there a way to check your application status? (I used the same name as here)
One of the reasons is because you can write a fast and scalable simulation directly in Julia. Something like Python will inhibit the speed of loops, scalarized nonlinear functions (like in ODEs), and multithreading. You could try to run an introduction to computational thinking (which is essentially introduction to computational science and introduction to programming at the same time) in C++ + Python, but then you spend half of the course teaching students how to handle C++ and how to link all of their compilation tools, and all of that is time not spent on the actual topic of the course. At one point I did this in a numerical analysis course, and it just detracts from the main message.

But with Julia, the whole course is up and running on day one, and you can start with building bifurcation plots or agent-based models which then grow in complexity without having to rewrite for performance. Since these computational science courses always to try poke at studies of complexity, this is very essential.
Attachment is fear of loss, so mostly the loss is determining worth.
I agree 100% with you

Have worked as both PM and developer and now run my own very small software company

A) two years senior engineer is like one of those consulting companies where everyone in 2 years becomes DIRECTOR

B) In two years most new programmers have not even gotten their heads out of their asses

C) You should refer to Outliers

10,000 hours to master a task

And to that add

10,000 hours to make your first masterpiece

D) Even if you have managed to get 10,000+ hours of coding experience in high school and college and somehow become a very good programmer
(which less than 3% of CS grads do)

it will still take you 6 to 10 years to get another 10,000 hours of working on masterpieces and making really good software that you can ship and make money from

E) a title like 'Senior Software Engineer' should be reserved for someone who has MADE and SHIPPED and GENERATED MONEY from a very good piece of software or some software product

F) Personally, I would think any company handing out Senior Software Engineer titles after 2 years is a joke

Between all the places my friends and college mates and I have worked (Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Oracle, etc. etc) I can't think of any place that handed out Senior Software Engineer like it was candy

Even very, very good programmers had to EARN IT
Since this is the top comment, I want whoever stumbles here to be aware Office 365 isn't all that smooth either. There are things that Google's and Zoho's offerings do much better than Microsoft's.

#1 This is 2020 and everybody's collaborating on a single doc with comments. But how do you point someone to a comment with a link? In Office 365, you can't.

#2 Until recently office 365 didn't even have a grammar checker / proofing assistant.

#3 You've worked on a document and intend to quickly send a pdf over to an email? You download the file, convert to pdf and email it. Even a simple "Send this file as an email attachment" isn't available in their editors.

#4 Talking about file-format compatibility, like someone else has pointed out there's no guarantee that documents created in the online version is compatible with their desktop editors. Too bad.

#5 In version history, how can you compare two versions of the same file? Well, you can't.

Remember for Google and Zoho, cloud based document editors was their target, right from idea to finished product. For Microsoft, it was an afterthought. And it shows.

Your rude attitude and misrepresentation of the ideas you are trying to express is why you are having trouble conversing here today.
> And I remember seeing a lot of forum posts around the dangers of using GenServers (unless you know what you're doing).

The danger is using a single process of the GenServer instead of multiple, so you can get single process bottleneck that won’t use multiple cores. You don’t have to know any intricacies of BEAM or OTP to know and design around using multiple process instances of the GenServer.

> I know you can do distributed state in Elixir too, but it doesn't seem as easy as it is in other languages.

You can use Redis in Elixir as well. Saying that Elixir is worse at distribution than Python/Ruby because ETS isn’t distributed is a bit like saying Python is bad at distribution because objects are not distributed. It’s especially strange since Elixir ships with a distribution system (so you can access ETS from other machines) while your other example languages do not.

> The brother of someone I know did just that a few years ago. He went through some kind of midlife crisis and left his wife, children, and family business without a word. She tried to trace him through the police, but the police wouldn't cooperate because there was no sign of foul play. He was spotted by a relative a year or so later living in an apartment not too far away and has since moved back with his family.

What possible middle life crisis can make people detach themselves from their family and kids for a year without telling them?

Are there services to reintegrate these people with their family if it's a widely acknowledged problem?
It is indeed a way to overcome the "well known psychological phenomenon", and also I wouldn't call reading or playing piano as non-instinctive or for that matter a "utopian enlightened state". My retort was more towards the mischaracterization of a pithy quote.

Yes, the conclusions here are most likely intuitively correct, but the science is missing. One missing piece of the puzzle is probably the grayscale.

GrayScale = 0.299 * R + 0.587 * G + 0.114 * B

Grayscale tells you if the color is for foreground/background - it's something like the weight the color has.

When I had to pick (too many) colors manually I finally automated color picking by using the following rules - and never had to worry about this subject any more.

A) When combining colors it's good to have matching Gray-Values. (Otherwise one will dominate - you can also use this to make one color stand out)

B) Gray value of background and foreground should differ a lot.

C) Colors of similar gray value should not be picked too close to each other (obviously...)
The classic would be a geographically distributed datastore with intra-datacenter link being fine, but inter-datacenter being down/degraded. Clients within the datacenter would still be able to talk to the server fine, but server to server inter-datacenter is not going to be OK.

Another part of it is that all hell breaking loose can sometimes look very similar to clean partitions, depending on the network. When network QoS classes are available, what appears to be increased latency or packet loss for one class may be 100% packet loss for the other. Though, you're totally right that all hell breaking loose can be very different - the set of systems that handle flapping & other ugly connection failures well is smaller than the set of systems that handle clean disconnections well :)

Africa is a big continent, there is a wide difference in income and education level, from country to country and even inside each country.

If you have some spare money to pay a refrigerator for 100 years, you are probably spoiled and want nice living conditions afterwards.

Anyway, imagine you live outside a city and have only a small plot of land for subsistence. After the 100 years you don't have even the small plot of land and don't have the small herd that you inherit from your parents. How/where are you going to live? Farming has changed in the last 100 years. Artificial nitrogen fertilizers have slightly more than 100 years, now there are genetically modified crops, the preferred crops have changed. (Do you know how to harvest soy?) The cattle management has also changed, antibiotics, vitamins supplements, the number of free range herds is decreasing,...

I am not. That wager is about something unverifiable and unprogressable. This is based on biology and science and can become a reliaty. So not even close.
One thinks that language does not matter - but it often does. While conceptually they are all the same, Julia, through its performance allows one to achieve high performance without needing to write kernels in C.

When one is writing computational codes to address new problems, one does not always have a library of well-written high performance packages to call. The ability to use a high levels of abstraction, that Julia offers, and then being able to run your programs at scale on heterogeneous hardware, is what makes Julia attractive.

As a result, I am already seeing that Julia is already enabling a large number of scientists and engineers to write libraries and packages, instead of being end users. I believe that these numbers will explode in the coming years and computational science will further establish itself as a credible third pillar of science along with theory and experiments.
This is a fascinating read about bullies and bullying, calling into question the toxic culture around manliness and cruelty. The desire for the “law of the jungle”, where the man most appropriate to lead is determined by his ability to crush those who contest his right to rule, this predates American society.

While America is one of the few modern nations that still glorifies it, the form and shape is considerably weaker to past societies and the power of the bully diminishes daily. Champions of industry are now the bookish sort, something that would be unthinkable a half-century ago. I am hopeful that the trend will continue as society evolves.

I did mean the heat, not gravity. A Solar eclipse on Earth blocks all direct sunlight for about 10 minutes. My question is would that be enough to cause an earthquake, by suddenly cooling an area of the planet.

I also realise the night blocks sunlight for way longer, but maybe this is different because the effect is spread out. During eclipse we have the planet all around the area of eclipse heated up and a comparatively small area not being heated in the middle.
An OTP/Mix release will produce an executable which bundles your code with the whole BEAM runtime, so for a start, it will mean that won't need to install Elixir on the host machine / server.

OTP based release executables also have an internal versioning system. When people talk about the Erlang/Elixir hot code swapping feature, OTP releases are the basis for it. But it needs a bit of extra work beyond just creating the release binary itself.
