Except that it also depends on the definition you're using for "implies," so the normal use of English breaks things if you're really asking about logic. For example, dog implies "likes dogfood" is a reasonable thing to say, but "doesn't like dogfood" certainly includes dog outliers who only eat, say, kitchen scraps, and refuse dogfood. So no, a implies b doesn't let you say not a implies not b, given the normal definition of "implies."

I suspect though that this is the kind of quibbling that will quickly pass the interview test; you say something about dogfood and colloquial use of _implies_, the interviewer says "oh no, we're talking about formal logic where implies means..." and you go on from there. And frankly, that's the kind of interview question that's useful, since if you assume that marketing people use the logic definition of "implies" you're going to be in all sorts of pain in real-world meetings about developing software.
I personally belive that people should not mix workplace and politics. I really cant see how that is ever going to end well.

I think it should be possible to modify the GPL3 to disallow any usage in a for-profit setting - then you could individually re-license the code for different users to privately consume (and, optionally, free them from the burdens of the GPL3's copy-left infection). There'd be some issues, any commits you pulled in from the community wouldn't be eligible for re-licensing unless your PR acceptance flow included securing re-licencing rights from them - standard GPL3 copy-left code can't be converted to a private license without the agreement of the original authors.
Nim is on par with C in a lot of benchmarks, e.g. https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks. Go is the king of concurrency, so whatever you compare to it loses. That said, Nim has async/await for concurrency, and I find threads and threadpools easy to use for paralelism.

> Conversely, my son hates fine motor skill activities; he's not good at them

My motor skills are _fine_, and I had a lot of issues with that throughout schooling (especially cursive, grrr, but drawing/art was also hard), but I played a string instrument (bass, and guitar), and didn't feel the same kind of frustration with that. I mean, chords are hard and kind of frustrating, but I think that's true for everyone. Piano and fretted guitars have the bonus that you can't be off pitch, as long as you hit the right one. Moving a pencil on a page is a lot different, you have to push down enough, but not too much, while making shapes in the right sequence, and you have to fit in the lines, etc, etc. UGH. Hitting the keys with the right strength is important for piano, but at a beginner level, just doing it not too hard is enough.

I'm curious why CTEs don't seem to be getting used here?

SELECT

)::jsonb_x_timestamp

WHERE
server_id = 'a0dcc312-0623-af60-4dc0-238301cc9bf8'
AND data ? 'load_avg'
AND t.created_at >= series.target
AND t.created_at <= (series.target + INTERVAL '2592 seconds')
LIMIT 1
)
FROM
(
SELECT

'2020-09-15 23:59:59'::timestamp,

) target
) series

I'm curious on the performance of:

WITH series AS SELECT
target
FROM
GENERATE_SERIES(
'2020-09-01 00:00:00'::timestamp,
'2020-09-15 23:59:59'::timestamp,

AND data ? 'load_avg'
AND t.created_at >= series.target
AND t.created_at <= (series.target + INTERVAL '2592 seconds')
LIMIT 1

or even shuffling some of the other selects and chaining CTEs together. I'm even curious if you could somehow use a combination of CTEs to generate something more suitable for use with SYSTEM_ROWS (TIL!! will keep this in my pocket for the future!).

CTEs are never a guarantee for performance improvements (they make things worse at times) but I see them getting ignored a lot when at times they are a huge boost.

I've seen these Polyform licenses touted on HN a couple of times recently.

I really do think we need a couple of new licenses along these lines to become popular enough to be generally accepted. Having said that, I struggle to really grok the language in these licenses; it could be that I'm just more familiar with MIT, BSD and the like, but with the Polyform licenses I'm always left with questions about what I can and can't do.

> I'm curious why you called it a "science". It would be very interesting to see yoga developed with a scientific approach.

Yoga is all about living in harmony. Some parts of it like Asanas, and Pranayama can be measured as it impacts the physical body. I have no problem with Wim taking a part of it and popularizing it but in not admitting to its sources he is preventing from others making further discoveries of the list of techniques available. What he is teaching is just one of paranayama technique from a list of many.

I do not doubt his achievements and commitment to excellence.
This seems like antivax advocacy. WHO would point out that vaccines have likely prevented over 13,000,000 cases of polio, while cPDVD has caused fewer than 800 cases.
It says

>Instead, we strongly encourage you to use one of the very good software licenses which are already available

But as far as I am aware, there are no comparable software licenses that prohibit commercial use. So, the CC NC licenses seem to be the only option here, even if supposedly imperfect.

Do you have an example of an ambiguity with regard to non-commercial use?

Hold up. Are you saying people are privileged (“world tipped in their favor”) just because they like going to the office (for whatever reason)?
I suggest a simpler solution. Billboards (particularly the LED array ones) should be forbidden, period. They are explicitly designed to capture attention away from drivers whilst they are doing a very dangerous activity. Why? Because they attract customers and make businesses money.

If your entire identity is shaped by the things you listed above, how is the "type of person you want to become" not also a product of those same things? That is, how are your wishes independent yet your identity contingent?

The first study that was heavily promoted used a randomized trial, and showed shorter stays in the hospital.

But looking at the real data, the study was not completely randomized as they had removed some patients. Patients that had died.

So it was essentially a P-hack to sell us a worthless but expensive product. So I stopped believing that Big Pharma would save us, and that their science-journals were giving honest reports.

In the mean time I see reports of different very cheap medicines that give a 10x reduction in death-rates. From 500 to 50 and such. That is extremely hard to hack because these death numbers would show up elsewhere. From the reports it appears that the virus is very vulnerable to some cheap anti-viral medicine.

But there is no money in that, so it will not be promoted that heavily.

Really? If scrutiny is what caused the companies to implode, it seems like there's a strong argument to be made that the problem was the scrutiny.

You want to find problems that are problems whether you find them or not, not problems that are only problems because you called them "problems".
I think I wasn't very clear in my comment. I think that for things like Word Perfect 5.1, the better solution for longevity would be new open source software that recreates it's functionality in a non-hardware dependent manner. Your mother being able to open Word Perfect files in LibreOffice and print them out with the correct formatting on a modern printer would be easier (and more useful) than relying on the original hardware and software.

I had several discussions with fellow students in Uni about GPL vs. BSD licensing and BSD licensed code is, IMO, more free and more accessible - it really depends on what you want out of your code. Is your goal to provide a useful tool as a one-off that anyone can pick up and use? Then BSD is for you - otherwise, if you have expectations around self-maintenance of the code by consumers then you want to lean more toward GPL. The thing you get out of GPL that you lack with BSD is the ability to pull back changes and bug fixes from users - usually by explicitly excluding those parties which for legal/whatever reasons aren't comfortable re-sharing bug fixes.
Yet we still have subject-matter experts — here on HN and elsewhere (professors of CS I’m looking at you) — who condone and even defend this.
Nim also has an emit pragma where you can just inline C code (or code for the Javascript backend or C++ backend, etc.). So, if there is some poorly optimized (for whatever reason) hot inner loop you can fix it right there, though you start sacrificing portability (often the trade off for optimal performance). You can even do SIMD intrinsics right in Nim no problemo just using the FFI Nim has for C calls.

The advanced features Nim offers is in stark contrast with Go where simplicity is valued. But the power those features give you when you really need them is undeniable. There's no need to dance around certain problems.

I did move to Go from Python briefly for performance reasons but once I found Nim, there's just no going back. Simplicity might have real value in large projects but I just don't like my hands tied.
Maybe the original posts didn't need to be that deep--just deep enough to be used as scaffolding for the wooden version of the pile driver to be set up.

I can't speak about go vs nim generally, but:

Our particular design is a bunch of single-threaded apps on a message bus. Each app (network ingress/egress, data handling, relays, etc) sits on the bus, and can use async/await to do IO concurrency, but on the app level, there's no threading and no locking to observe.

Each app also has a erlang-inspired supervisor task system, where each task is just a async proc kept alive. It's proven to be very robust (from the standpoint of service availability) in the face of bugs or input validation mishaps.

> My thoughts are that most people's political views are shaped by the media they consume.

Are you sure it's not the other way around? I believe people's political views shape what media they consume. I agree with your point that wider availability plays a role, but I see it mostly in giving people a choice. If you only have one choice in media, you can either not read news or read that one. If you have multiple choices, you can choose whichever seems to make the most sense to you.

People don't want to feel like they are reading an article by someone who has no clue about the matter at hand, which it often feels like when they come from a very different ideological background, they will seem to have things backwards, focus on irrelevant details and completely miss the actual reasons.

This is a really tricky thing to nail down as an EM. My first eng leadership role I was promoted out of the team. Everyone already knew I had what it took (I was one of the core group pushing hard to get the product out the door) so "engineering respect" came naturally. Fast forward to being hired as an EM - I realized I had to earn this all over again AND I couldn't do it just be being another peer in the trenches. Being an authentic leader is _hard work_, but it pays off when you see your team succeed.
I'm not sure I understand your question, but the dictator would be the onewho decides what is and isn't acceptable, and it's a trait of dictators that they don't pay much attention to checks and balances. Of course, any dictator worth their salt will immediately ban any expression of discontent with said dictatorship. Similar to how in Thailand it's an offense to criticise the monarchy.

We implemented a 90 day retention policy for all slack messages about a year ago. Everyone was pretty resistant to it at first, but it's been pretty great, honestly.

Good question. The video shows the first posts floating in air across the river and dropping magically in-place. These posts are then connected into a kind of scaffolding for the caisson [1]. A pile driver is built on top of the scaffolding that is used to drive the remaining posts that make up the caisson wall but they don't show what powers the pile driver (men?) nor how it is moved post to post along the scaffolding. A water wheel is used to lift the water out of the caisson.

The posts are small compared to modern piles so they will not be overly buoyant. Modern piles are core structural components that are used instead of a caisson so they are quite big.

Well said. And we're not even mentioning what happens when you start adding other criss-crossing traces for parallel LCDs and cameras into the mix. Those usually creep into the 30-40 MHz range, 18-24 lines per device with no differential lines. And I haven't even thought about USB-C yet.

And you still need to pass radiated emissions testing. Even those right-angle DIMM connectors for the SOMs spray RF noise everywhere when you put video on them.

The internet itself is the public square. There is an immense amount of publicly owned space online. Take for example:

For some private individuals a twitter ban, coupled with bans from a dozen other internet hubs, might be a difficult hurdle to overcome, as starting a new site and then getting traffic to it is difficult due to network effects. But to claim that public officials have no means of having their voices heard besides twitter is patently absurd.
I’m not intelligent in the huge scale distributed systems stuff but if there are outages every couple of weeks, why would you push code to production several times each day?

1. You're not 'too old'.

2. You already are a software developer; you're just not paid to do it.

5. To improve your chances of success, consider finding ways to leverage your experience/knowledge in the medical field to get developer work.

By any measure, this is untrue.
