"In computer science, imperative programming is a programming paradigm that uses statements that change a program's state."

You will see from the quotation above. The very act of changing state is an imperative style by definition. The purpose of mutable state is for it to change. So mutable state = imperative instructions.

>You don't have to listen to me, but you should seek out a second opinion from a competent person who can get through to you.

I'll throw that advice back at you. But you don't need to find that person. I'm right here in front of you telling you how it is.

>Everything I said in my last post is basic, well-understood computing knowledge. If you want me to disagree with it, you need to find yourself a competent computer scientist to aid you in framing your ideas in a way that is comprehensible with respect to the subject matter.

Yeah but you didn't account for the practical parts of computing. The theoretical parts often deal with machines that can't be realized in reality. It's pretty much common sense. How do you represent a function call without mutable state? How can you have a machine do an algebraic operation without mutable state? The very act of holding that information in state requires a state change meaning to even load a lambda machine with a program requires an imperative instruction.

We're also in a corner of computer science that isn't formally well defined. A language can be formally defined as pure but there's no formal theory for systems design and how the system overall influences the content of a pure SQL string in Haskell.

I define a haskell sql string to have syntactically correct SQL. The external requirements of my database are forcing me to define a string this way, is that a side effect? There's no formal rules in literature so it's just raw talking points... you won't be able to find an official source stating who's right or who's wrong.
Install SolidExplorer or similar, share the photo, select SolidExplorer (or any other file explorer) and it's downloaded. From there you can share it anywhere else. It's one more step in the middle though - and it's the reason why I have migrated all of my photos away from Google and to a RPi4 with NextCloud and 7 TB hd.
Not any more handwavy than "These countries don't have free speech rights, therefore they're not actually democratic"?

PoE seems off for the target audience of this device. In all likelihood the most prevalent mode of network access is going to be via wifi.
I had a gold watch, a family heirloom, that I had repaired. It was missing the buckle. The jeweler, a large one, sent it off to a 3rd party and it came back smaller around the wrist...

I was naive but I couldn’t conceive of that happening, going through a legitimate and large jewelry business.
Neither of those is incompatible with Cardelli's definition of type safety. `interface{}` is not `void *`. Null pointer errors are not untrapped.
Welp most of my accounts don't have much karma to even downvote. I have some that went past 800 but I abandoned them because I like to tell people how I disagree.
License has much more sense than outright ban.

I don't care for the "industry". They must adapt. Driving car requires license but the industry is still there.
That’s true, but I’ve noticed a significant drop in interest for any new Google products. It may not affect their bottom line, but the hype that led to waiting lists for Google Wave or rapid trial adoption of G+ is over.
Also, possibly illegal. If you have a data breach, you must contact your users.

Probably better to use encryption with public / private keys.
You are correct and I agree with you. I have not worked in big projects, only small, so that’s where my beliefs come from.

I feel the problem is a software problem that should be solved by better development tools/languages rather than throwing up hands and pushing the problem into the operations domain.

https://www.wyliecomm.com/2019/03/us-literacy-rate/ and note that 2% of American adults are level 5.

That's roughly "college level reading" on official measures.

And yes, comparing high school graduation rates with adult literacy it is obvious that a lot of people graduated high school with skills below what they were supposed to have. I find this depressing but in accord with my experience.
Don't please. I am salivating. One of the things that people in the UK and Ireland do not realize is how lucky they are to have varieties of potatoes. I have never seen anything other than the classifications of Red/Russet/Yellow/White in North America. Perhaps there are some regional growers of Kerr's Pink or Maris Piper but they certainly do not stock the supermarkets with them and I have never seen them in farmer's markets.
While I'm sure that would work, that sounds way more complicated than using computer vision to track the ball.

Yes it felt like a reskinned Chrome with a few unfinished parts bolted on. And coming from Eich big new project I thought it would be way more polished.
I feel good for Joey because he's really been one of the few who stuck to his principles and kept from hosting on Github even though it probably would have been way easier to do so.

The git-annex project (and I'm sure many of his other ones) have been going strong without Github and I appreciate him for that. He's finally being vindicated I believe (and eventually many of the warners against these free-as-in-beer but not free-as-in-software services have been proven right)

>> this makes zero sense to me, the value you add most likely doesn’t change because of where you live

Salaries were/are so high because of the limited supply of qualified labour. If they now accept workers from everywhere the supply side constraint just got blown wide open.
Good analogy, but there are some differences - your cells are not running one app, but just tens of thousands of routines with no clear definition of which routine is doing what function (many do multiple functions often with mix-match redundancy). And the mere fact that a routine is running is not enough, their activation state (posttranslational modifications, folding configurations, binding partners) or the values of all its internal variables is also important to know the exact function of each routine.

Even that is only theoretical - we generally know some level of detail to know what many of these routines are approximately up to, but rarely in the detail needed to figure out what a cell is up to in general.

In some ways studying what a cell is upto using our current methods is comparable in certainty to how we poll the US before elections.
Except time zones
This is it. There’s no difference between someone who goes faster and someone who claims to go faster if there’s no one to validate the result.

Bugatti’s “oh yeah we went superfast but we won’t bother to validate the record” is not very different from “my dad did 100mph once.”
And this is why steroids like decadron are helpful in the second phase (now being called the inflammatory phase by many in the ID community) of the infection. Steroids decrease inflammation / immune response.
I am blown away by this casually dropped metaphor:

>As the virus spreads unchecked through the body, it drags a destructive immune reaction behind it. Individuals with COVID-19 face the same challenge as nations during the pandemic: if they can’t contain small sites of infection early—so that a targeted response can root them out—they end up mounting interventions so large that the shock inflicts its own damage.

Everyone talks about product-market fit, but not many people talk about product-channel fit [1]. I've been doing plenty of research on acquisition channels [2] and (besides product-market fit) they're the most important thing that will make or break your product. The reason is pretty simple:

If you think about a) Your product b) Your market c) Your acquisition channels, the most flexible thing is a). You can shape your product in 100s of different ways. You can't, however, change how SEO works, or change the mindset of your market (there are hundreds of founders who tried to "educate" their market and failed, with rare exceptions).

This is why many people recommend to focus on your market and your acquisition channels FIRST, and then on your product. Because your product is the thing you can change/have the most influence on, and "shape" it depending on the factors you don't have much control over.

It would be interesting to see a heat map for reading an article like this.

It’s so long.. after 10 minutes I wanted to know the point of it, so I skipped aggressively to the middle, found a few points, then skipped to the end.

I wonder if there’s any value to so many words in this day and age with so many other things to read on the internet.

Zindagi in Hindi/Urdu means Life.

This library was on my mind since a while when I started obsessing over Game of life patterns and got introduced to the broader world of cellular automata. It doesn't compete with Golly or any well built library, rather it is oriented towards beginners like me who want to see those gliders asap. :)
Kickstarter campaigns have never been subject to Regulation CF limits because they don't sell equity in a company.

You aren't technically buying anything when you make a Kickstarter pledge. [1] You may or may not get a "reward" for backing depending on whether the project is a success. If you do receive your reward, that's the end of your relationship with the company; you have no ongoing financial interest in it (read: no upside).

A Reg CF offering is an actual security; you're buying shares in a company, just like a VC does in early rounds. You're exposed to the same risks, but you do own a piece of the potential upside.

You can do better, then. Read nendroids latest reply to me, and help them understand that it's the "use of statements" that makes a language imperative, not the "modification of state."

I won't be responding, and they seem to think they're quite the expert in this sort of thing.

I had very similar problems with Crystal early on; I remember having to write my own S3 library, which meant having to write the signing, which meant having to patch the core OpenSSL lib to add the correct SHA. At that point, I realized it was "early". Things change though, excited to see where you end up Paul - not Rust?
So you end this with calling me a white supremacist.

You are correct. I will end this potential flame war by not engaging.
I'm sure the New York Times, with its resources, is able to hire some help. It's honestly incomprehensible to me that anyone would think otherwise.

A journalist that has a reputation for truth would hopefully bring that integrity to the process. Every party will have some kind of perspective or bias, we should pick the ones who are incentivized towards truth vs lying for profit/sensation.
Would a union do the trick?
When there are 100 jobs and only 10 qualified people in SF ,all paying huge cost of living, they can command very high salaries to cover COL plus more.

When there are 10 Million people living in dramatically cheaper COL centers they (a) can survive on much less, and (b) are all competing for 100 jobs, driving the supply curve way down.

>> restatement of economic generalities help

because this is a textbook example of why these generalities hold true, but only in really basic, aggregate cases.

when raising money on Kickstarter, you're promising to sell the product, this is for equity in the company to non-professional investors. Think of it as a public offering of a friends and family round.
It's hard to find truly deep variety in potatoes in the US. I don't think people buy enough of the "non-standard" forms to really justify selling them to consumers (restaurants are a different story). There are a few exceptions, for example Monterey Market in Berkeley, CA has a wide range of potato variants (fingerling, banana, purple) depending on what's available.
you mad bro?
This came out a week ago.

Why do we need to wait for the media to tell us it's interesting?

It's the first attempt at mainstream commercialisation of Deep Fakes I think? It seems like a big deal. It's meta still, they are cheating a lot.

But it's a working example of whether deep fakes might or might not work in the near future.
on the contrary: bypassing technical protection is only illegal in the eu if done for illegal purposes, not if done while staying within consumer rights.
That is not really the whole story, though.
My wife and I (self-employed) work around two days a week each and make about as much as other couples where both people work full-time 50+ hour weeks (inc. commute) in professional jobs.
We used to work 3-4 days a week and made about 30% less money.

Interesting. Mine are awful, spam-level awful. (Even when I had an account and subscriptions.)

But I think my point stands - recommendations don't actually need any network effect, or to be done by YouTube itself. You could have a third-party/OSS recommender, it's just pretty niche and probably doesn't exist.

IMO YouTube can be used as a dumb content store. It's on the creator side that it has the 'network effect' handcuffs - it's the content store everyone goes to, so if you make content, it's where you need to store it।
You’re actually arguing my case for me. In effect, the government is protecting the lender not the investor. So why are we limiting investors’ options then? After all, a business owner can max out personal credit cards and go bankrupt. And “secured” doesn’t mean anything unless there is property or equipment behind it.

wouldn't the wage fixing scandal, which was essentially illegal oligopolistic behaviour, be an example of how a larger market, wider area supply/demand relationship would look more like the classic economic model, i.e., this exact case?
People living in Japan are used proper train boarding and exiting - they stand on the correct entry markers and the train doors will be on these markers once it stops. In the same manner no one blocks the exit markers and people stand in the queue behind the train door ready to disembark quickly.

Only this makes the 90 second Shinkansen stops possible as well as the 3 minute cadence between trains we saw in Hiroshima station possible. Not only is the platform used very efficiently, there is even a small Soba restaurant in the middle of the platform! :)

In comparison here in Europe (CZ) the trains are usually late and you migh only lern the platform couple minutes before the train arrives - and it might even change at the last minute! There are no door markers and trains stop preatty much at random somewhere at the platform. Most traincars still have stairs and people are not used to proper queueing, so they form a fan around every door that blocks people from quickly getting eiter in or out.

The trains are also slow (160 km/h max on parts of track and on a good day) and mostly not EMUs, so you have platform space used up by the locomotive. Oh well.

I know a know a TON of people looking forward to the next couple of years employment opportunities. lots of people I know have gotten offers from SV, seattle, etc companies but refused to relocate for one reason or another. now that people are accepting of full remote, they have their eyes open for the jobs they want, with the hope that full remote is now an option.
I myself turned down many offers from west coast corps because pay wasn't high enough to justify moving and the life style cost and inconveniences increase.
Even better. Play during the day, work at night. ~Most~ Many engineers prefer that.

Most so called “illegal primes” involve encoding some information (eg. encryption key, that is an random number) as a prime number with the idea that transforming the information into prime makes it into “mathematical result” or something like that. It is intended as an argument why there should not be any “illegal data” which I find absurd because the idea that such transformation is somehow relevant is even larger nonsense that the idea of making some kinds of information “illegal”.
The publicly released stats by them? Yes I think they are a lie for now, they’ve been shown to be dishonest. If a Tuatara owner wants to post specs that weren’t measured with the help of SSC, then I might believe them. But so far the independent analysis points to the car not going that fast.

This wasn’t an “editing” error where the framerate of the video accidentally was slowed down, it wasn’t a GPS calibration error, it was a company being caught in a lie. It happens from time to time, especially in motorsport.

Edit: to clarify, it’s not on me to prove that the car isn’t the fastest in the world. It’s on SSC, which is making the claim, to prove it. That their first attempt has been debunked means they will be given more scrutiny the next time around, and I’m not confident that they will do it. Because if this was just an editing error, why don’t they just go back to their footage and show us the real stuff? Did it conveniently get deleted?

The consumer side is fairly unregulated. Consider that a home mortgage at 3% down is 33x levered, but I as an investor cannot invest in something that is 33x levered unless I’m accredited - actually, more likely a qualified purchaser - according to the SEC.

So I’m arguing the protections are really there to protect the borrower (debt) but they limit the investor (equity). In effect this is an imbalance because of the disparity in upside/downside balance.

This seems similar to how I felt when consulting and knew I was billing at a much higher rate than others.
