What you describe is basically an intentional community with a revenue stream from a software product. Something I'm interested in, but unsure how to make it work.

There are intentional communities that support themselves with their own, often agriculture based, products sold on the open market. Plus the usual homesteading.

The skills needed for this kind of work are not highly specialized and in general not well paid, therefore levelling the playing field for everyone in the group.

I think the opportunity cost for IT professionals building a SaaS to support the community is a lot higher, and while I would love to see that work, the chances of key community members dropping out to make more money for themselves is fairly high. I'm not sure if a simple time based system for everyone involved is fair, given the high upfront investment to get the skills needed for IT work.
just came here to say that I don't understand it, either. What's so hard about adding a couple of source files to your project?
Those are both great languages.

Rust is very much a ml variant. It's all the things you claim and probably more. It's also at least an order of magnitude more complex. If you know rust, you'll probably find SML super easy to learn and refreshingly easy to code.

People gravitating toward SML likely want a few things: easy to learn, simple infix syntax with functional support, compile time type static type checks, multithreaded, very fast without a drastic recode.

Common lisp libraries are better, but not drastically so (well, I've never had 5 grand to throw at lisp works, so I can't comment there). CL is more complex to learn (must people can probably learn the entire SML language in the time it takes to master the loop macro). Macros are powerful, but mean that even if you can find a lisp dev, it'll take a long time for them to learn your custom variant of the language.

CL offers unofficial threading, but last I checked it was much harder than the SML solutions. CL is pretty fast out of the box, but if you ever need peak performance, the code changes a lot and can become very finicky (though CL makes seamlessly hiding those bits easier than most languages). Even at it's most optimized, I don't know that it can match milton in performance or memory usage.

Dynamic vs static typing is a battle that's all but over. When you have devs coming and going on a team, type make transitions easier. Loads of dynamic languages have started adding them and even CL sort of does.

CL has loads of interesting features from well known ones like macros/reader macros or metaobject protocol to less known ones like optional dynamic scoping.

I'm just saying why I enjoy SML (not trying to argue that it's the end all, be all of programming). There are other great languages too. Do what you love.
"Windows Certified" is part of what drove that.

It also covers "will work as advertised", i.e. certain features will operate properly. And secured boot path is, indeed, one of such features.
> If you listen to what they say, they admit they were not able to measure for the no-colllege male demographic in 2016, or in other words, they couldn’t model identity politics. Why couldn’t they do that? I’m not sure, but they are certain they can this time around because they saw the 2016 data and now believe they have more complete data to not make the same mistake again.

I think you possibly misunderstand what 538 _do_ a bit. Their data is based on polling, so they can only work on what the pollsters do. Historically, pollsters didn't pay that much attention to education, beyond using income or class as a proxy for it; one middle-class white man was pretty much like another. This worked quite well historically, but no longer does (and it's not just a US phenomenon; it was also a contributor to polling problems for Brexit, notably).

In their current model, 538 assume a higher rate of uncertainty than last time round; also, some pollsters now model education. But really there's not that much they can do about stuff that pollsters don't ask about.
IIRC, the expected price is around $3.50/dose, but I can't find the source for that anymore. AZ and Oxford have pledged not to ask for royalties or whatever, at least until the pandemic is ongoing (that would likely mean all of 2021 at the earliest).

I would advise the opposite, especially 3 blue 1 brown. I think getting the intuition first before diving into the deep proofs gives you a north star so you know where proofs will be taking you. I believe that for most people, getting the intuition first is going to make learning a lot easier.

Isn't this a regulation failure though? The fact that these chemicals who we don't know the full effects of are let to market is the problem. Preventative measures make more sense than criminalizing things only when we find out there's a problem.

> It's all personal, of course, but I find that the typographical variety of "traditional" languages with syntax makes it way easier to me to read/parse them than LISP.

I wonder how much of that has to do with your familiarity with "traditional" language syntax. For example, when I started writing Lisp, I had a similar opinion. But I write Clojure professionally for a while, and that disappeared. Now I haven't written Lisp in probably 7 years, but I still have no problem reading it.

On the other hand, in some sense it's all structure. There are certainly advantages to having everything be delimited.

Not the "same", but according to a Nature review on vaccines from last month, most vaccines exhibit a very strong immune response (usually, for the two-dose regimen, after the second shot).

The nature of the response varies. Some candidates are more efficient at eliciting the production of antibodies, while others also activate cellular immunity (T cells).

Cool!

> When simulating load distribution across servers, two-choices does an outstanding job at keeping things evenly distributed. However, I was unable to observe a meaningful difference between load balancing algorithms when measuring request latency from servers under load.

That's very interesting. Were you serving static content? Or running code, too?

Intuitively, I'd expect that NGINX serving static content would tend to scale fairly linearly up to the saturation point, and then get rapidly bad. That's a pretty pessmisic case for load balancer performance measurement, because you won't see effects until you're running the whole system very hot. That 'very hot' modality is important to real-world applications, but certainly makes benchmarking challenging. Does that sound right to you?

In my experience, that tends to change when running complex business logic code, or generating dynamic content. There, the load-latency graph has a higher linear slope. The effects of good load balancing are more immediately visible. It's also more visible in things which explicitly have longer latency with higher load, like some kinds of queue-based and stream-based systems.

> If I’m content to trust the client side hashing or encryption on the secrets why bother setting up my own server?

Not that much, given that basic accounts are free. I guess that in addition to the building from source option, self-hosted Bitwarden (or at least Bitwarden-rs) includes all enterprise features for free.

The two most useful ones are probably sharing selected passwords with other users / groups, and attaching encrypted files to logins.

I wouldn't bother setting up a server and domain solely for it, but if you already have a personal webserver with a reliable backup strategy, since Bitwarden_rs barely uses any resources and is super easy to install, you might as well throw it in.

That's my case - I was already running a personal Nextcloud and Fediverse instance, so adding Bitwarden was like five lines of docker-compose and four of Caddyfile.

I’ve wondered that too. What’ll happen to speeding tickets when every car is autonomous/self-driving and could just be programmed to not go over the limit? In theory, we could go one step further and remove speed limits from autonomous-only roads as the cars would be smart enough (in theory) to know what speed and distance is safe. But that last part is a pipe dream it seems.
Sad to say, given how testing, lockdown, etc. has proceeded, I'm losing confidence that most western governments are capable of any "logistical efforts for the history books" at this point.

It’s just a political thing. You see the same behavior in threads about climate change. A seemingly innocuous comment to you is a firebrand political statement to someone who thinks the virus is a hoax or whatever.
If your father is rich and powerful like Biden, you are inevitably going to find yourself in positions of privilege. Someone whose intent is to gain access to your father will bring you money bags.

Hunter Biden has a bachelors degree in history and no real life experience. He got himself a very nice position that he clearly didn't earn.

During the primary when this Burisma thing came out originally; NYPost no doubt investigated it and found much more information. Then sat on it until the most damaging moment. Very unlikely that these are lies and really the Biden campaign hasn't denied it. The reality is that Joe Biden was probably too busy to see his son selling his influence. Joe Biden is probably quite innocent, his silver spoon son on the other hand...

Then Twitter pulled the censorship trigger a little too fast. You can see the bias for yourself. Wikipedia calls this whole Burisma thing an unevidenced conspiracy theory. Is it really unevidenced? An objective viewer can see the evidences. Is it really a conspiracy theory? I really don't think so.

MSNBC's response to this burisma ordeal is to assert that the NY Post is a tabloid that regularly reports known false stories. They never really attacked the evidences or story. They just outright attacked the ny post calling it unreliable.

This is such a great story though. You can use it to identify your echo chamber. the polls seem to be saying biden is going to win HUGE. My echo chambers I am in seem to think Trump is literally hitler who is killing mexicans. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-is-trailing-so...

It’s completely naive and overwrought, however I think it’s quite arguable that Walmart and Amazon have done a lot for society in terms of passing down cost savings and customer satisfaction. This is why they have been successful. This is at the price of how they treat their labor, which is a political failure of the USA.

This isn’t too different from much of modern capitalism: globalized cheap labor with poor conditions and limited collective bargaining power makes your phone, textiles, and appliances.

I use Amazon a lot and I have Amazon Prime but I've started to do big purchases elsewhere.

Because, frankly, the difference between having 25 relevant SKU's in a smaller store versus 1000's on Amazon doesn't matter to me when I only want to buy one of them. The right one.

I don't want to have to try and work out if it's real or counterfeit, or how reputable the brand is, or whether the listed specs are accurate - I'm happy to pay a bit extra for a store's merchandisers to do that for me.

So yeah, I'd buy a USB Stick from Amazon, but a television, not so much. I'm not even sure how they can solve these problems (how can you police/accurately rank a huge inventory?) but at the very least they could get rid of co-mingled inventory etc. that are making it even worse.
While I agree they are not enough to build a strong basis, they are a wonderful aid.

I would advise following a more traditional path, with a good book, but I cannot think of any good reason to not take a break from the book to watch some related 3B1b video from time to time.
That's because 70/80% estimates assume that the population is entirely vulnerable, while instead it looks like it's partially vulnerable. Hence the estimates would need adjustment.
In most models, we currently assume herd immunity is 50%. We know it isn’t higher than that but we also have circumstantial evidence that it likely isn’t below 40%. A complicating factor is that we know the number of infections is much higher than the number of cases but we don’t know by how much and this is not something we can effectively measure retroactively, which makes it challenging to model precisely.
I agree. The concept of single-file or header-only libraries is often abused. Except when generics are involved, having a .c/.cpp source file is preferred. Note that while the repo is named "single_file_libs", many libraries in it consist of a pair of .c and .h files. These developers also agree with you.

I'm not sure who GJS is but if you see any lisper editing text instead of operating on structures (with auto-balancing parenthesis and so on), it's 99% certain it's in an environment they are not familiar with, so they will make mistakes.

I don't think anyone who write Lisp-like languages professionally doesn't use tools like parinfer/paraedit, where balancing parenthesis is not something you have to do.
Hard to say with the G limit. Fighter pilots routinely tolerate 9 Gs with training and pressure suits (or more, for very short periods of time). That's extreme, but if you're strapped on your back, the Gs don't pull blood down out of your skull as much (but you also don't want to send too much pressure IN to the head). I think for a while at least, one can assume astronauts are comparable in physical shape and training to elite pilots. Previous spacecraft and roller coasters routinely do around half that. If the required acceleration would take a very long time, even at 9 Gs, you'd need to lessen the force.

Edit: Some back of the napkin math: It's It's between 30 and 250 million miles to Mars. Let's call it 100 million on average. And let's say we want to make the trip in about 3 months. That means we need about 20km/s of velocity, and at 9Gs that only takes you around 4 minutes. I would probably lower the acceleration and just stretch it out longer. The bigger acceleration might be needing to match Mars's velocity once you get there. But I think those are all pretty reasonable numbers for humans to tolerate. The really hard problem is still the landing, rendezvous, and launching a spacecraft big enough to do all that and then come back.
Very cool but needs a road diet!
