I think having a tool to standardise formatting is huge, and a lot of what makes Elixir code easy to read is mix format.

That and the fact most of the community started out with similar ideas on good code, so there was less bikeshedding around formatting.

And since a lot of web developers clearly need some clarification on this: step one means that the important content needs to be included in the initial response to the HTTP GET, and delivered as HTML. You're failing at step 1 if the first thing you serve up is JS to request the real content, or if the first thing you serve up is JS that operates on bundled data to transform it into something the browser can start rendering.

If you're obsessively worried about "flash of unstyled content", then recall that the user will always see something after they click the link to your page. Giving them an unresponsive blank screen for an indefinite period of time may not be the best first impression to make.

There is actually another bill that aims to legislate over assessing the value of user data: S.1951 - DASHBOARD act, introduced 2019-06-25.

Full text: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/195...

Official summary: To require the Securities and Exchange Commission to promulgate regulations relating to the disclosure of certain commercial data, and for other purposes.

It applies to “commercial data operators”, defined as entities offering consumer online services or a data broker with over 100M monthly users in the United States for most months over the last year. It says that they must routinely provide each user with an estimate of how much they think that users data is worth for the operator, and clearly describe the data collected and how it is used, as well as allow users to delete their data.

It also says that operators must disclose every quarter to the SEC the “material value” of the user data they hold, contracts they have for collection and use of data, and the value of anything else the SEC determines is necessary. It puts the SEC in charge of figuring out a valuation methodology for the data. It also says the SEC should amend the rules for disclosures from public companies that classify as data operators to include information on how data held by them: how it is protected, liabilities, sources, revenue generated, large contracts or acquisitions of data.

For public companies I believe this would significantly change how they must do their accounting, since they must treat data as an asset. It could have significant impacts on their market cap, which could be real (since more information will be available) or just a result of the new reporting rules affecting their listed assets.

Your linked article is some Google researchers reporting some bugs in Safari which were mostly patched a year ago. It seems like they disagreed about whether some were patched initially.

That doesn’t mean Chrome is more secure. They literally install user tracking and tie you to your Google account so they can advertise to you and better sell things. There is nothing secure about a browser built to monetize your data and send it to the cloud for analysis and machine learning. Meanwhile they have their share of bugs as well. What do you think about this one which is more recent?

Great answer!

It’s also why I despise the popular portrayal of space time curvature. It looks at space in isolation rather than space time as a whole, and provides no intuition as to why objects traveling at different speeds follow different trajectories.

FWIW I think that in general it is better to just teach people that gravity is an acceleration in classical spacetime (as opposed to a force or curvature). It is simply too hard to create intuition for laymen around minkowskian spacetime, and even harder for curved minkowskian spacetime.
Nope. Google is responsible for the decisions Google makes.

I have mixed feelings about this.

The figures assumed to be right, this demonstrates that with knowledge and skill you can drive to a very satisfactory outcome. 2013 to present is a 7 year investment timeline, and on a sustained normal investment return scale you'd expect it to be double-and-a-bit, he went to arguing 6x so he's ahead of the market.

But, thats also arguably a non-sustainable ROI longterm. Not that it doesn't happen, but that the luxury of being able to retain the risk side, for the large multiplier, is confined to a lucky few.

This is about the latent value of early-stage ideas, as opposed to the sustained value of enterprise which continues in role and is not game-changer forever (what is?) but becomes an industry: the Angel is not talking about industrial continued value, but about that initial rise of the curve.

And, since the angel can swoop away, they can confirm their inner sense by denying capital injection at the point it might have rescued things, to focus on something else: So in effect there is no neutral arbiter "was it right" -It simply is what it is.

I've thrown multimillion row datasets at awk (usually gawk, occasionally mawk, nawk on OSX, and, hell, busybox on occasion) without any practical performance issues. I'm virtually always writing for one-off or project-based analyssys, not live web-scale realtime processing. A second or even ten won't be missed.

I'm also aware that building a pipeline out of grep / cut / sed / tr / sort / uniq / awk is often conceptually nearer at hand. It almost always mirrors how I start exploring some dataset.

But a quick translation to straight awk gives cleaner code, more power, easier conversion to a script, and access to a small library of awk-based utilities I've acumulated.

All with far-more-than-adequate performance.

We've spent far more time discussing this than coding, let alone running, it.

You are right in the context of software built for ownership but a team, typically in a commercial context.

In other cases, side projects with an emphasis on learning, coding for fun, practicing, or just doing something neat, the clever code can meet other subjective standards for "goodness".

Native phone apps don’t render their initial screen server-side. Why should web apps? They’re pretty much the same as phone apps, just on a different runtime.

Seems rather tricky to invent anti-gravity when gravity is just an emergent phenomenon of distortions in the spacetime fabric.
I don't think this changes anything. Deployed networks typically use only inference from pretrained weights, and those weights are what get transferred for model "updates". You can have all your devices using weight array W0 for a neural net architecture, spend a million compute hours training that net on cutting edge systems to produce a much better weight array W1, then upgrade all the deployed devices by sending them W1 which will be the same size as W0.
To be precise, that'd be called MPU -- memory protection unit.

Ah okay, so you're troll. Please don't bother communicating with me in the future.
I think it’s reasonable to criticize all aspects of unnecessary consumer waste. Apple is a good target because they are highly visible. We should be thinking about earths natural resources and how quickly we’re turning them to trash whether it’s cheap imports through Amazon or the major companies. Saying we shouldn’t criticize Apple because they’re just one company in a sea of trash I think misses the mark.

Correct, if underappreciated.
You keep saying "Google" but there is nothing about Android that can't run on the earliest Android devices given driver support in recent kernels, and Google doesn't control the drivers.

Meanwhile Apple, like most Android phone makers, don't publish the information needed for third parties to make drivers for their hardware. Which is why you can't install the latest Android on an iPhone 4. And what is Google supposed to do about that? But Apple could do something about it.

You're right about the cost of maintaining these properties. This year I came across a funny British show called "Escape to the Chateau" [1]. The couple there paid <400K GBP for a 45 room chateau. At one point they're not sure if they need a new roof. If they do? That'd cost ~250K GBP.

But one interesting thing they mentioned was that in France, heritage of old buildings like these is opt-in. If you choose to opt-in the French government will pay you but you then need to abide by all sorts of standards.

This is in stark contrast with, say, English Heritage where they can decide at some point that your building is now listed, you get paid nothing and any alternations or renovations need to be approved (for maintaining the character).

If that's true about France, I prefer the sound of that system. There are literally thousands of castle/chateuas in France. Is it really justifiable to preserve all of them? Especially given that many are falling into disrepair and many of these buildings are already falling into disrepair through lack of demand for buyers.

Empirically, the dynamic of "can afford to be politically agnostic" doesn't seem to happen. Data I've seen (https://www.hofstra.edu/pdf/academics/colleges/hclas/cld/cld... is the clearest presentation I can find off-hand) indicates that complete political disengagement - never discussing or following politics - is much more common in lower income brackets.

I'd argue that this is what we should expect from an abstract perspective too. If someone has to struggle just to put food on their table, it's going to be pretty hard to convince them that the goings-on of some political candidate are worth spending their time on.

> From the point of view of a photon, no time elapses between its the origin and destination endpoints.

No, this is not correct. The correct statement is that the concept of "elapsed time" does not apply to a photon; it only applies to timelike worldlines, not null worldlines.

To put it another way, if your statement were true, it would mean that the origin and destination events were the same point in spacetime. But they're not; they're distinct points in spacetime. Which means that, since the spacetime interval along the worldline is zero, you can't use the interval to distinguish points on the photon's worldline. And the concept of "elapsed time" requires that you be able to do that. So the concept of "elapsed time" can't be used for a photon.
Check out gauss law for electromagnetism and gravity. It says that total flux through closed surface is proportional to strength of field sources inside the surface. Flux from outside sources cancels out.

You can use this law to see what's the gravity fields as you move under ground and in other very symmetrical cases.

> I think the shell theorem says that the gravitational forces cancel if you are on the inside of a hollow sphere and all mass is on the surface.

No, it's stronger than that. It says that any spherically symmetric distribution of matter outside a certain radius exerts no "gravitational force" on anything inside that radius, whether there is matter inside that radius or not.

F = ma

F means force. Gravity is a type of acceleration, not a force without being multiplied by a mass!
Possibly I am judging too harshly on a few weaker podcasts (though isn't that always the risk when a show has so many episodes) but "pop history fun facts" is how I would characterize a lot of the non Western ancient/medieval history episodes. 45 minutes on "the Samurai" feels a little thin when we have no background on Japan prior to that episode. And "Maths in the early Islamic World" was really frustrating how sometimes the guests are in the middle of making an interesting technical point and he interrupts with a totally different question.

> Why would acceleration not be constant?

Look up the Bell Spaceship Paradox. In relativity, two spatially separated objects (or two ends of a spatially extended single object) that have the same proper acceleration in the same direction do not stay at rest relative to each other; they move apart, as seen in each of their own frames. This is different from the behavior predicted by Newtonian mechanics. In order to have the two objects (or two ends of a single extended object) remain at rest relative to each other, the one in front has to have a smaller proper acceleration than the one in back. (Rindler coordinates are often used to describe this case.)

I imagine some would be moderated by their founders, and others might adopt conventions where their members moderate.

Moderation in such server-oblivious systems would chiefly be a label applied: "this conforms to our norms" or "this doesn't conform". Being a member-in-good-standing of a community would be a standing default that one's messaging is presumed conformant. Violations beyond the tolerance of the community would flip that "presumed conformant" bit to "presumed in violation", so that software wanting to show the community-conformant view knows what to do. (This only requires cryptographic identities & messaging, not centralized server sysops with delete privileges.)
