> What is arbitrary about it? do you assume that because you don't have a list of their rules of engagement, that you don't have the "warrant" for these takedowns yourself, that it is arbitrary and politically biased in motive?

I'm sure that they have some internal logic behind the scenes, of course. But it is effectively arbitrary, since their process is completely opaque to us and subject to 'arbitrary' change on their part.

Even if they were completely transparent though, would that even be any better? They exercise absolute control with no accountability, over a platform that is ubiquitous and essential.

> I straight up think that's bullshit. I would want evidence of that occurring or evidence that that was ever laid out as policy.

Their policy is unchanged since then, and is quite explicit. Facebook defers 100% to the WHO. And the WHO defers to China.

Maybe I can't prove to your satisfaction that the WHO is compromised. It is possible that the WHO is just really incompetent. But it doesn't matter, they were deeply ineffective.

And anecdotally, I know people who fled China in December and January. You could leave China if you left via Wuhan airport.

We tried warning people. I tried warning people. I was banned in February for "fake news". There was a preponderance of evidence of what was happening.

Video after video of Chinese solders wearing hazmat suits rounding people up. But according to Facebook, all of it was completely fake, and we should't panic or talk about it.

And I assume you are going to disregard everything I've said, unless I reconstruct timeline of everything I've said, and spoonfeed it to you.

> "Private networks" do it all the time. Newspapers decide what to print, and whether they print lies or truths, and whether they do so fairly. The best journalists put truth first.

Let me be very clear about something: corporations exist at the pleasure of the public. In theory anyway. You have no right to incorporate, and you have to be accountable to the people in exchange the privileges that you enjoy. And most any company their size, especially a provider of infrastructure, is in bed with the government. They did not pull themselves up by their bootstraps. They massively benefit from government subsidy, and they suppress any competitors. They are not a private network.

> These virtual bulletin boards are, as a matter of fact, massive platforms where any small amount of gamesmanship can lead to the very quick spread of information, good-faith or not. To think they should sit and do nothing is folly.

OK, so if disinformation is such a problem, then why should we allow one billionaire creep to be our information policeman?

I should do it. I should be your information police officer. Why not? I've done less creepy things than Mark Zuckerberg.

You might have some obvious situations that were big issues, but I'm not sure reason for a business failure (sometimes even success) is always obvious.
Indeed. One would think that given the notoriety associated with "marketing" emails, that would qualify for the cesspit title.

Though, I suppose the margins are much higher there.
My experience as a long-time SWE is that companies are willing to pay us upper-middle class (or better) salaries to do things that many of us would happily do for free in our spare time. The only “catch” is that we have to work on their problems instead of ones we pick.

If that’s “getting hosed”, I hope they never run out of water!!
Why not just use an older version if you have an older device? Supporting years of ever-changing APIs is evidently painful. As a macOS user I’m kinda used to seeing “latest version for macOS 123 is a.b.c”
I suspect those modern compilers are also optimizing more than Delphi 2 was, and are probably parsing a somehow larger language.

I assume library authors can specialize code to either semantic as well, and carefully target both in a single library? E.g. with cfg attributes/macros.
Your insistence on dismissing a well established social science, that is based on centuries of rigorous scholarship in the top academic institutions in the world, as nothing more than an ideologically biased arm of capitalist propaganda, is the "fundamentalism" you accuse me of.

It's no different than the anti-science conspiracy-theory/quackery of anti-vaxxers.
We use Julia in production at RelationalAI. Our cloud hosted next generation knowledge graph management system is a highly performant database and query optimization engine, and it's written 100% in Julia.

We love Julia for the same reasons others have stated here: It's easy and intuitive to write, making it productive to work with for both our engineers and our mathematicians. It's reflection abilities make performance tuning and optimization easier than any experience I've had before. The ability to fine tune the assembly emitted for your hotspots _matters_, and it's straightforward to do in Julia. And for the rest of the code, being easy to write, easy to read, and close to the math are all a big win.
It's common to put a connection pooler such as pgbouncer in front of postgres, usually in the same datacenter/cloud region, sometimes on the same machine.

In that case, the behavior you describe will happen between the clients and the pooler, then the pooler will mux the clients' queries onto a smaller number of connections to the database.

In many configs, once all the pgbouncer -> postgres connections are used, any more incoming queries will be queued. Each time pgbouncer gets a result from postgres, it pulls another query off the queue, so if queuing is sustained you'll see back-to-back requests on the pgbouncer -> postgres connections without gaps in between.

I agree there's no general CPU core guidance here. Gold standard is to representatively load test your app, safely beyond your target load, or to destruction if nobody can tell you what the target load is.

More to the point, Wirth _designed_ Pascal to be one-pass translatable. Anders Hejlsberg took advantage of this in his succession of Pascal compilers: BLS Pascal (= Nascom Pascal), Compas Pascal, and Turbo Pascal. (Delphi is an evolution of Turbo Pascal but I don't know if he was involved).
If that scaled completely linearly - I'm sure it doesn't, but it might be close enough - it would mean that it could compile a few kloc in less time than most interpreters/VMs take to boot up.

For me, "instant" compiler and test feedback would be the ideal development experience. (Plus a good debugger)

I think sadly there are some features (e.g. HM-style type inference) that I want to have but would be an order of magnitude or two slower than this. But still, I'd love to see a compiler for a modern language use something like this as a goal. Even 10kloc/thread*sec would be quite good, now that we have 16+ thread CPUs readily available.
That's roughly the number I was talking about. Subtract current H2 percentage in the system and multiply the result with network throughout (plus storage headroom). That's quite a lot slack to pick up before running out of storage for regenerative H2 production.

Sure, those 6% are a local maximum which further limits how much a hypothetical production point could push into the network, but that'd be more of a tactical problem (where to deploy the tech) than a universal limitation. And a solvable one, because the inputs to the conversion are quite transferable.
That sounds like too much, which can cause calcium deposition in soft tissues. I'm 250 lbs / 113 kg and only take 125 μg (mcg) of D3 and 100 of K2 MK-7 once every other day (qod) because of D status for COVID prophylaxis and chronic premature distal osteoarthritis.

Calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium in balanced amounts along with K and D maximize bone health. Alkali metals supplementation alone is rarely a good idea because of the often common transports and osmotic competitions.

In general, a multivitamin, b complex, and omega 3 in the form of canned fresh sardines or anchovies (fish oil capsules are typically low in actual 3 and high in 6) is probably enough for most people.

5-10 mg/day of extra zinc during the annual cold season is fine too.

Don't supplement with E without a specific medical need.

not sure why you were down voted. Vedas have their own share of BS, but they do deserve credits for some serious scientific thought process. As per Dashavatharam, God is initially fish, then turtle, boar, lion-human and the remaining incarnations are human. This kind of resembles evolutionary process starting with fish, followed by amphibian, mammal and finally human.

Similarly, there are many surprising facts in astronomy. They found only the 6 planets though. Every celestial body other than a star was called as planet.. so, they had navagrahas (9 planets which included sun, moon along with other planets).. and their perfect calculations of eclipses, planetary distances, etc is itself amazing.
> the political influence of employees of SV companies

Maybe employees have power in Europe, but here in the United States employees have almost no power. Employment is at-will, and anyone who causes trouble for management is summarily fired.

Even management itself can be summarily fired by the board of directors of publicly owned corporations, like Twitter. Jack Dorsey is answerable to the stockholders, and also to the advertisers who generate Twitter's revenue. Not to the employees, who could all be eliminated and replaced if necessary. Jack too could be eliminated and replaced if necessary.

The only exception is Mark Zuckerberg, who set it up so that he has total voting control over Facebook and is untouchable by the stockholders. But that also means Zuck is untouchable by the employees.

The idea that SV corporations are run by the employees is a strange one.
ok, I understand now my question got misinterpreted, I'll rewrite that.

CLI parsing (mapping to real calls) may have bugs. How do you test this?

Both options suggested eliminate this possibility completely.

> one of their core advantages is ease of automation and testing.

Any example when suggested options are any worse in this sense?

Oh i can answer this! Usually the best way to start off is to read the unit tests if they have any. This can usually point to what the code is trying to achieve if anything. Gives you a view of what methods are being used and for what purpose.
Yes you are correct that he probably played a big part in all of this.
For me I believe it comes down to being able to type fast enough to just regurgitate what's been said word for word into the computer.

When I take handwritten notes I have to mentally parse it and decide what's important enough to write down.

Handwritten notes on a tablet work much better than typing for me, despite having the same availability of on-screen distractions.

Yes, podcasts are great. Naturally the people who killed the web are trying to kill podcasts next.
>Consumers also want cocaine, but that doesn't mean you get to sell it to them with impunity.

The appropriate situation for those that want cocaine is something similar to the rules around purchasing/possessing/using alcohol.

From an economic standpoint (increased tax revenue, reduced spending on "enforcement" and incarceration, increased economic output because fewer people are in prison, etc.) and a societal standpoint (more resources available to the 2-5% of folks who end up with dependency problems, reduced property crime, not harming communities with significant numbers of residents being pulled out of the community and incarcerated, etc.)

As such, there's no good reason for any mind altering substances to be illegal. Rather, they should be regulated and taxed appropriately.
Man that seems kinda sad.

If someone is in a situation where they really don't have anything else to do on Christmas, ok. But hard to imagine they don't have some friends or family missing them...
As a young lad, I studied the internals of BLS Pascal (the great-grandfather of Turbo Pascal) and was blown away by the cleverness of much of the code. I had never seen such clever machine code before and have ever since considered Anders a bit of a genius.

> This is an interesting case for error-handling, [...]

Part of the problem is that it's actually two different error cases: A, the data we're operating on is too large, versus B: the system as a whole doesn't have enough memory. Case A is obviously[0] a explicitly-handle error (just like "the data we're operating on is malformed"), whereas case B is obviously a just-give-up error (like "the system doesn't have a floating-point unit"). But there doesn't seem to be any practical way to reliably distinguish the two cases, and it's not clear they can be rigorously separated even in principle.

0: we might decide to 'handle' it by aborting, but that's not special to allocation
Scala made this available, it was a mess, so this has been to my knowledge largely ignored by the community. Early Scala projects were rife with this sort of impossible to read or maintain code.

It was and it was key to why Pascal became so successful. Porting the VM of the UCSD-p machine was so much easier than writing a new backend so Pascal spread like wildfire. I think I even saw a Commodore 64 port at some point.
> For such an old (and one would think, stuck in their old ways) institution, they keep up quite well technologically and consumer relations wise.

Unfortunately, I have to disagree. While I never had any major problems with them, my company's 401k accounts used to be with them. At the time (this was about 5 years ago) you couldn't have a password longer than 8 characters and they didn't support 2 factor authentication. They had it, just not for your account. It was quite frustrating. Maybe they've finally wised up? But even so, that's hardly keeping up well with tech.
Maybe, but the GPL license is suggestive that the author started and continued to work on this project because it was seen as a genuine benefit to others, and for many years that was enough to keep them going.

The arbitrage isn’t illegal but it’s also not not a scam. If you’re running ads against the shite articles and you knew all the traffic to the ad was just people from a different site who don’t even really see your ads, you wouldn’t be very happy to pay for it.

I’m not sure it can be quantified except perhaps by something like “amount of money necessary to motivate a sufficiently skilled person to do this job.”

I’m certain that they delegate those issues to subordinates; do you feel that there is skill involved in managing and supervising subordinates, and melding their disparate opinions into a coherent and profitable direction for the company?

That might be the case, the same approach would work here though I think. There is even less a pretention of proper English grammar and why should there be? I can't remember the exact syntax of all the LOOP terms for the life of me and generally try to keep it simple.

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/node240.html#... states that "The thereis construct takes one form" so that will be your error. Not quite sure, as I don't know what you intend to express. when (< i 0) makes no sense as i is always positive.

I think you've put too focus on the things that you think make you special. And an advertiser may not even care that much. They would be looking at what ads are you a good match for, which means the things that you've posted.
TV, newspapers, and radio all routinely have ads for small businesses.

Minor point, and others have brought up more details around composability, but I think it's an absolute mistake to reference properties on an object before that object is declared. I.e. if SQL had the FROM clause before the SELECT clause autocomplete support could be much more intelligent about helping with SELECT columns.

Same problem with declaring imports in javascript. Python got it correct, where I write e.g. 'from somemodule import ...', so by the time I get to the import the parser has enough info to help with autocomplete. Javascript's 'import { Something } from "foo"' means the parser can't help me autocomplete Something.

I used to be like that, but for whatever reason a significant proportion of my adds these days are from smaller, local companies - a vineyard or clothing company for instance.

I click on these adds, and if I like what I see, I'll buy it. I feel a lot more comfortable supporting small businesses that someone has poured their heart and sole into. I want to see these companies thrive, and if targeted advertising is the way I'm alerted to them, then so be it!
This is not premature at all and it does not add complexity to the code, quite the opposite.
“Influencers” are a new category of ad where you pay people to use your makeup or whatever on Instagram or YouTube. It’s hugely popular with consumers and modestly profitable for “influencers”, and it all works with zero targeting.
I present you the differential truth timeline: After informing users, randomly inject tweets that state plausible factoids that may be true or false, then have a button on all tweets that you press to know whether twitter the believes the tweet to be true, false, or unknown.

If this doesn't work, they can remove the button entirely during sensitive times (like elections).
When RRMS you always will be better some time later, even without treatment. Just trust me, i have this shit many years.
Because Google calculates clicks as results, people are encouraged to click the ads, meaning news sites earn more money if clicks increase, and the advertiser has to pay more money to Google if clicks increase.
I think every discussion about worker pay should include the Federal Reserve/fractional reserve banking/fiat currency.

CPI is a terrible indicator that doesn't include productivity gains. Inflation numbers from the government are notoriously unreliable.

Is the problem corporations? Or fiat currency?
