I think poker is a great introduction to many really interesting and useful ideas. From basic maths to probability and statistics, simulation/programming, game theory, decision theory, portfolio management, all the way to cutting edge reinforcement learning or AI methods.

Lots of deep ideas to explore once you've been introduced to them.
Yeah but you can say that about anything any politician ever does.

I mean you can also say all code written by developers for for-profit companies exists to create revenue.

Both are true yet incomplete statements.
Thanks, I am willing to try both Rust and Go.
Correct. A bare kernel to get to an initrd. That loads the rest of the modules is the common distro pattern.

I build a kernel w/o initrd, only my necessary hardware and then only modules I need.

It's pretty easy, boots fast, stable, etc.

Have not been to that specific market, but I know other market sellers (farmers) in Canada.

Probably what you are not seeing is that these market sellers woke up at 4 am to get ready for the market, and drive > 1 hour from the rural areas to beat traffic and setup shop.

Then they take rest 1-3pm, and then continue until 6-7pm. Only to get home at 8pm and then still have to make dinner and rest.
The same syntax issues as the UNIX way, so I don't see the benefits of the UNIX way, other than its traditional simplicity before productivity in developer tools, with strings being copy around in process pipelines as dumb compiler phases.

It's tricky because for 98% of consumers, "unlimited" is unlimited enough. The realities of operating a mobile network mean you will be throttled when there are a lot of users in your cell so that your Youtube stream drops from 4k to 480p so that someone can browse their Facebook feed. How to advertise this so it isn't deceptive? I'm not sure.

Code duplication this way (versions of code for different hw) is common in Linux though and makes a certain kind of sense.
Cool! It's simpler than the cryptocurrency/Namecoin approach.

I wonder what the advantage of Nomicle is if it naturally converges on the cryptocurrency approach due to incentives (Fortification as a Service)? Maybe there would be less squatting because work is behind each individual name. Also, costs scale with how secure the name needs to be. Namecoin suffers from the problem that all names have the same initial cost.
No, because that would become widely known and people would take advantage of it. I believe they use a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_displacement_meter
Interesting you mention this standby issue. I just moved a monitor from an nvidia setup where it had zero issues.

Given that the distance between Washington and Chicago is ~950km and the speed of light is ~300,000 km/s I have a huge issue with trusting anything in the article which starts with " It takes seven milliseconds for this information to get to Chicago. ". It appears that 3ms for that trip is quite plausible, while 2ms is not. Given the opening misinformation and the whole "2-3ms" phrasing (why not exact timing of the earliest order, could 3.5ms be "2-3ms"? could 3.9ms?) the most plausible assumption that it's one of the early specimen of so-called "fake news".
One of the only ‘pro’ arguments that can be made in a sensible manner is to discuss the amount of people not incarcerated who do not appear for court. It is not a great argument, but it is a factor to be considered.

In theory, bail, via a bondsman, is an amount of money that will Ensure that the bail-bondsman will go track down the defendant in the event they do not appear for court as required.

That said, I don’t think the argument is persuasive enough to result in the system in place in most US jurisdictions.
What is the purpose of this card? I'm familiar with using GPUs and even TPUs for some task specific acceleration but what's the point of a chip like this? Does this speed up arbitrary C code? I understand that an FPGA is in the middle of the CPU - ASIC spectrum, but what are the potential speedups for various types of code?
Thanks for the insight. I think still for most engineering development - its mostly the one-off launch time that predominates. This is exactly why I don't use C++ for general purpose use.

There is something to be said about how easy Python makes development look - despite of the package management warts.

Btw, is there a reason why packages can't be precompiled and even distributed? I am sure you guys have thought about that.

and I should add ... chances are the linux kernel is not the primary user of these addresses, more likely it's the internal DV ('Design Verification' - hardware QA/testing) teams who need access to all those internal debug/setup/etc registers that are not normally architecturally visible to the downstream software teams (like Linux/etc)

> Note that this is a truth; the only real variable is whether it's acknowledged to be true or not. Anyone who disputes it has their thumb on the scale in one way or another, consciously or unconsciously.

Could you elaborate on the actual argument for why this is the case. On the surface it seems like the opposite of what you are claiming can just as easily be true depending on the situation. For example take a widely used utility lib such as lodash or jQuery. In your scenario there are two options:

1. Use lodash via a package manager and rely on the lodash team to fix bugs, write tests, and add new useful utilities over time.

2. Fork lodash and take on the maintenance burden yourself. You are responsible for keeping up with security vulnerabilities and making patches. You are responsible for writing high quality tests for the parts of your code that diverge for the original.

Think about how much ramp up time is required for new hires to become familiar with a company's codebase. Why would you ever want to devote that amount of time to maintaining code that for the vast majority of businesses is already "good enough". For some companies the engineers working on the open source project may even be more competent than the resources available in house. Sure there may be edge cases were performance or security is absolutely paramount, and in those this approach may make sense, but not for the majority of generic CRUD apps.

I would have a very tough time trying convince a competent manager that it is beneficial to devote so many man hours to this task rather than to business logic, new app features, etc.
I was wondering about this latter point as well, and apparently this is exactly the goal if one could implement reversible computing at the hardware level [1]:

> One of the earliest proposals to reduce heat from lost bits was to make computer circuits reversible. A reversible circuit has exactly as many outputs as inputs, assigning one output pattern to every input pattern and vice versa. That means each input can be reconstructed from the output; no bits are lost, so reversible circuits will not give off heat from bit loss. Furthermore, reversible circuits can simulate standard logic functions and can therefore be used in any computer.

I fully endorse this sentiment, but I've recently had an opposite experience.

At my previous job the anti-competitive clause was strong enough to include anything which uses the same skillset as your day job, even if it's a non-commercial side project. I originally thought it was fine, since I hadn't managed to find time and motivation to work on my dream project, anyway over the previous four years.

Five years in, however, I had an epiphany which meant I just couldn't ignore the urge to work on it and finally see it through. I ended up changing jobs largely to be allowed to work on it.

It's been difficult, finding time and motivation, especially since I will always prioritize spending time with my kids above any other activity. But I've managed to find time a bit, mainly in the evenings if I happen to have energy over.

An interesting essay.

My main takeaways were:

1. Using objective standards and transparent methodologies works;

2. Using rational, data-based approaches is critical to any sort of approximation, as we've seen over and over again in dozens of fields other than political polling;

3. The data shows that when (1) and (2) are present, polling is enormously more accurate than other methods.

Anyone with a bent toward science and data will likely be impressed with the data quality of polling that's done properly.

The “misuse” of the term is so common that it is now included without comment in many dictionaries and reference sources (e.g. Wikipedia). The formal fallacy is now the more uncommon use, so it’s probably worth getting over it ;)
AMD does the same thing and so does Intel, this is for CPU's too. The yield on silicon has a probability that some transistors wont work, so they disable those cores and create lower end models. Sometimes, to meet demand they do just simply disable cores, as it's also cheaper to have one process. Tesla does the same thing as well with their cars, funny enough.

The Consolation of Philosophy was required reading for my undergrad Chaucer classes and other Medieval Studies courses, because Boece is Chaucer's translation into Middle English of Boethius' Consolation. For me it was an ancillary study but I ended up going pretty far down the rabbit hole into other ancient philosophical works from there.

Why read Boethius today? The answer, as the author says, is because Boethius is a still a guide to those who want to "seek answers about how to live in relation to our mortality."

The conviction rate is very high, upwards of 85% in some states. So it's not like large swaths of completely innocent people are being held in jails. I'm okay with pre-trial incarceration as long as everyone gets treated equally.

Since they aren't, I think non-cash bail is a good idea, with strict requirements to check in with an officer, etc. If they don't meet their appointments or break the terms of their bail, I'm also okay to see them incarcerated pre-trial.

However, there needs to be some provision to make sure that they don't stay in jail longer than what their offense would have garnered. If someone is in jail pre-trial for half the median time an average punishment if they were found guilty, then the charges should be immediately dropped. This should give prosecutors more incentive to get their acts together and have a trial in a reasonable amount of time.
NFS using Kerberos over the network is very secure while being fast.

Complaining about nfs being insecure is to be ignorant regarding how NFS was originally intended to be implemented.
I recently saw a talk (internal only unfortunately) about how some "minor" changes in sin/cos/whatever functions in Chrome broke multiple web sites. It was things like mapping sites and the "minor" changes in the output of sin led to huge errors in the maps.

Which is to say, that minor errors often don't matter, but if you are offering up a general purpose solution then those minor errors probably matter to _somebody_.
Does it matter? When I walk into a building I don't get to tell their IT guys what protocols to use and which to avoid. I don't get to tell them my own preferences and make them conform to them. I don't get to start a job and demand they change everything about everything on day 1.

I adapt. And if they're using NFS, I want to make sure I can use NFS too. That's why fixing this bug was important.
Here in Australia bail is determined based on the severity of the charges and the likelihood of you being guilty and / or a flight risk.

Your wider point stands though: there's little reason to believe a replacement system instituted by the US Government would be better than the current one.
That's odd, I feel like I'm always fighting my phone to make it stop using data. It's really my top complaint about smartphone apps.
No. First figure out how to keep dangerous criminals off the street pre-trial. Then let’s talk. Cash bail is regressive and often unjust, I’m not willing to correct this injustice without a viable alternative to simply allowing dangerous people back onto the street hoping that they show up to trial and that they do not destroy while out.

I believe our system has flaws that need correcting, but I do not advocate destroying the system to fix them.

When you say that 1L of distilled water at some temperature weighs 1 kg I'll take it as more or less objective. When somebody says that general purpose language is superior just because it has REPL and no compile time I take it as purely subjective. Some languages/implementation while producing native code have perceptually instantaneous compile time, so here is your REPL. And they scale as the task grow way better then Python.

I think it is just your private /subjective opinion and it is not any better than mine.

> I have certainly never thought of the BBC as biased

With respect, I'm not sure why your opinion is relevant to whether it is biased. There are certainly many instances of bias, that like Twitter, only appear to occur in one direction. The Emily Maitlis opening to Newsnight in May[1] is one of the most egregious examples.

For opinion on the innards of the BBC you can listen to Rod Liddle's (former editor of the Today programme) many, many stories about it, or John Humphries, or for instance, this interview with Robert Aitken[2]. He's promoting a book called "The Noble Liar: How and Why the BBC Distorts the News to Promote a Liberal Agenda", and whether or not you feel it's right or even right for him to write it, it surely hints that some scrutiny might be applied to claims of unbiased centrism.

If you're looking for BBC reporters who you should watch for a bit of bias, Dominic Casciani is one. As to the Guardian, I was a reader for 20 years but I had to stop because it's seriously lost its way. Any given day I can find outright lies, let alone bias. I could go on but this piece[3] by the Guardian on Humpries' claims of bias at the BBC includes several quotes about his Brexit bias. He voted to remain. Maybe they didn't know - aren't journalists supposed to check?

"the one thing that vindicates the left in America is that its at least the arguably more humanitarian and ethical side"

Not sure the left is vindicated for "ethical" stances or actions. Pro abortion, assisted end of life, corrupt unions, free speak, gay marriage, larger government waste are things traditionally seen as things associated with the left and unethical by some.

Traditionally the right was the party of values and the left was the party of freedom.

Last I checked GNURadio allows you to import raw Python blocks to run on your signal. There shouldn't be anything stopping you from using this library inside of GNURadio, however you can also get away with not using GNURadio at all given how indepth this library is. So the answer is, it can be both. It could be super useful in conjunction with GNURadio when first decoding a protocol in order to really understand the signal you've captured, and then you can script it in Python sans GNURadio to automate the signal interpretation.
