Not sure I see the utility of these. I don't think the point of the Fast.ai course is to be able to answer Deep Learning trivia. It's heavily hands on and generally being able to answer these questions seems very low value compared to being able to implement a fine-tuned VGG model for example.

I don't see why this is problematic. The characteristics that will lead to economic success like long term planning, sticking to goals, not being a shit head, etc. seem to directly translate to a successful marriage.

It's also worth noting that although modern C/C++ has the `restrict` keyword, compilers for those languages are generally worse at actually using that information. For example, there's been a long running series of LLVM bugs that has (several times) required Rust to stop emitting that metadata because it would actually miscompile fairly simple vector operations that used `restrict`[1]. I'm hopeful that Flang (the Fortran LLVM compiler) will shake most of those out, since there's a large body of Fortran code that relies on good aliasing optimizations.

Ok, this might not really contradict you since it is more about being able to use it regularly and still be functional.
Although the silly "Expected ':'" is still there, the newer SBT versions show better output, there's even a "did you mean" feature.

Regarding "discovering which submodule you're supposed to run commands in": this is a non-issue. Commands are either run under the obvious subproject (e.g. "api/run", "business-logic/test"), or are run as top-level commands. This is true 99% of the time. I have a fairly complex project open right now, and I just run "docker:publishLocal" to create two separate Docker images, one for each subproject that includes the appropriate plugin. I think this is better than overloading a single command. SBT projects usually have a small readme describing what is the command for any specific task you're supposed to do. In Maven, you know the commands, but you need to read to ensure what they do (does "deploy" push to an artifact repository, does it create a container image, does it create a deb package, or does it create a standalone jar?).

The use case where a multimodule project becomes multiple projects is more gradual in Maven, I fully agree on this. The problem, as I said, lies in that child Maven projects are not self-contained. They usually depend on information declared in the parent builds. This breaks the assumption that people can work on a project without worrying about the parent project.

Finally, source dependencies are explicit in SBT save for the base case "test depends on main". Everything else must be specified, so it's either there in the build file, or added as part of a build plugin. It can also be checked from the REPL. And building from the IDE is a dumb mistake if the IDE doesn't use the correct build tool underneath: the build is there for a reason and the IDE shouldn't bypass it.
DAWs, especially ones like ableton, are one of those types of software where they aren't that difficult on paper but the entropy of one is high enough you need a team of people to get going in the first place
It really depends on your product and your intended audience. Ableton is not built with the intention that any average Joe can jump in and be productive from day one. Compare that to Garage Band, which is dumbed down because it has a different audience.

I think with virtually any software out there, there are tools that cater to both audiences.

> One possibility is that procedures vary across the state, as some other comments here might indicate. Another is that the system the author participated in isn't actually as immune to fraud as he thinks.

Some other possibilities might be that primary elections use a different process and/or undergo less scrutiny than general elections, or that procedures have changed since 2016.

As you said, it'd be an interesting exercise to go through exactly what DeMuro did and figure out whether what happened then would or would not work now.

Incidentally, it seems the author might have had to deal with a similar situation:

> The other event came when a discrepancy developed between the number of votes recorded by the machine and the number of voters tallied in the books: one vote was recorded in the books that was not recorded by the machines. We ultimately concluded that someone had just walked out of the polling place after they were handed their ballot, never casting their vote on the machine. Other possibilities which we ultimately ruled out were election board error, or that the voter voted in the wrong division after receiving their ballot. The redundant records — the index card, the registration book, the list of voters — helped to narrow down the possible causes. In the end, there was nothing we could do about it.

So there's an argument to be made that what DeMuro did (ringing up votes on the machine) could have been caught.

I believe it is better is such Cyrillic for Polish is based on the Bulgarian version instead of the Russian one.

The reason is that Russian is less phonetic. O is pronounced as A if it is accented, for example, while Bulgarian Cyrillic is as phonetic as Spanish.

Also; political reasons. It is better to have something not resembling the Soviet block imposition.
The Democratic messaging sucks. The Green New Deal promises 30 million new jobs. South Texas Hispanics would get a large fraction of those jobs because Texas has both wind and sun, and the Hispanics are overrepresented in construction jobs. That's a good trade for the tens of thousands of coal and oil jobs that are going to disappear anyways, Green New Deal or not.

I'm not sure anyone is saying that the 5W A14 is faster than a 100W i9 (at least for sustained performance).

I don't see why you should say that 'no way' an M1 (with appropriate cooling etc) is going to outperform a desktop class system - if you read the Anandtech review it's clearly superior to competing architectures in many respects and is built on a better process technology.
To produce children. A stable family producing (and being responsible for) a well-educated and well-balanced offspring is one of the aims of any national government.

Now, you might argue that children can be born and raised outside of marriage, and that is true. However, until very recently that was considered extremely bad. Current consensus is still that children benefit significantly from two stable parental figures.

There's been a lot of discussion about this on HN. Here's my annotated list of links that should get you started:

0.) To get started not copying, try paraphrasing (writing down concepts in your own words.) and ranking statements you paraphrased on a scale of 1-10 (10 is most important). Do enough of this tedious work, and you'll start to >>summarize<< what you're reading, and get an intuitive sense of what's most important to summarize.

1.) Search HN for "zettlekasten" and watch the youtube video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPOI4f7yCag

This will help in understanding that note taking is a process and what's important emerges as part of this process. Expect some inefficiency.

Pro-tip: physical notecards are still the best for fewer than 5,000-10,000 cards.

2.) Here are some tips on the physical aspects of note-taking that helped me: 1.) use a few different colors, 2.) use a highlighter for important concepts, 3.) use the Cornell page layout (see #3 below), 4.) have one main concept per page/card so you can rearrange into a logical order, 5.) summarize key points at the bottom of each page, 6.)

3.) Try the Cornell method:

4.) You can fall into a rabbit hole of optimizing notes. At the end of the day, spending time studying is all that matters.
I second that. People could still count for weeks afterwards to make sure everything comes out on the up and up.
A family can be viewed as a business, and a marriage a financial and legal contract (among others) between two people. Based on the existence of this contract in almost every culture around the world, it seems like it is useful for society to have a template for what to do with assets and children in the event the parties want to dissolve the relationship.
>. I've never understood why the government cares enough to give tax, finance and legal incentives to married couples

A married couple is a hell of a lot better than single parents for raising kids. The government wants functional kids because functional kids grow up, have jobs, don't revolt, don't engage in petty crime, have careers, pay taxes, etc, etc.

I am young and am ignorant of a lot of this history, but the claim here is that Democrats have lost working class voters, particularly white working class voters. What I do not see is how this is consistent with:

1) policies advocated by people in the D party like Bernie Sanders, e.g. social safety nets for such job losses in manufacturing as described. Isn’t this part of the progressive dream?

2) How working class voters end up aligning themselves with a party that is less likely to care about them, e.g. by cutting taxes for earners well above the working class income bracket.

To be fair, it doesn’t seem like either party does a _great_ job helping the working class. Populism comes in ‘left’ and ‘right’ flavors...maybe it just happens to have come from the right (Trump) at the right time.

I am currently a contributor to a system that uses CQRS + ES. We are a fintech company and the positives we have adopting it outweighs the negatives.

We use Lagom framework to implement CQRS+ES over Akka Actors and related technologies. There's enough guardrails/guides within the Lagom framework and documentations that it's hard to screw up too badly. And IMO I think the different pieces fit together very nicely!

Overall the tradeoffs in system complexity vs scalability isn't too shabby.
> but programmer discipline is perhaps even more important.

Honestly, I think this trumps everything else. If you don't care enough to write good code, you won't. Yes, some languages make it easier than others to write good software, but that won't matter if you're just banging out code without a care.

That said, I do miss the typiness of C/C++ when I'm writing Python. I'd be interested to know how one enforces things a bit more strictly, even if it's only by running a separate tool (so something to be run on every checkin via CI, much as I run static linters for C and C++ code).
I read that article too and mentioned it in my first sentence. That's the article that Stratechery pulled their figures from. The validity of that article and those benchmarks is what I'm doubting.

Will the new Macbooks with M1 chips compare favorably against Intel laptops with low power and fanless designs? Yeah.

Is the existing A14 chip faster than than a 10900k (even in single threaded performance)? No way. There is something in the benchmark that is messed up to the point where you can't compare them.

Now that we've solved the age old problem of people getting married way, way, way too young, we need to start on the problem of people clinging to monogamy as some sort of universal truth.
Wonder how age factors into it. Poor Americans are probably more likely to marry in the early 20s, vs career-minded professionals in large metros who wait till their 30s.

A decision like firing this employee is not made at high levels of management. Merely involving senior management in the issue is already an escalation.

If the union rep has a solid relationship with management, this conversation can be a simple "hey can you take a look at this". Management trusts that the union rep wouldn't approach them with frivolous complaints and looks into it, maybe reinstates the employee. If that trust relationship doesn't exist, then the rep would have to apply pressure somehow, which engenders bad will.

Part of the job is knowing which fights are worth fighting, when they're worth fighting, and what sort of tools you're willing to use.
Stopped reading after "Liberals" in the subtitle. Writer assumes that liberals, the most internally diverse of the political classes, are a monolithic group :-( Many liberals have already pointed out the reasons why many working-class folks flocked to Trump. Had Dennis Sanders used "Establishment Democrats", I may have read further.
There are all kinds of societal benefits to a committed family unit. The difference in criminality, educational attainment, wealth acquisition, etc, among children raised by single parents vs coupled parents is staggering. Of course you can be a committed couple without the need for marriage, you can be married and in no way committed, and you can be married without kids, so it's not a perfect incentive structure...but I think that financially incentivizing a structure that removes burdens from the rest of society is definitely a good idea.
I remember hearing from those in my parents' (boomer) generation about marriages that just didn't work out. Divorce wasn't widely "accepted," but it was more common than one might think. Perhaps this was because of a culture of encouraging marriage to make fulfilling needs (sexual, relationships) "acceptable", and boomers had financial freedom to take the risk that it wouldn't work out.

Marriage is a success multiplier. Successful people generally marry other successful people. Your monetary, behavioral, and intellectual capital double just by signing a piece of paper, given you find the right person. Plus you get significant tax benefits (on ~$300k combined income, you can save $20k-$30k per year).

But there's a huge downside, too. If you get divorced, you (give or take) lose half your assets on top of attorney & emotional costs. Younger generations are getting married later because they weren't given the stability that Boomers had, and therefore can't take the same risk their parents did. A divorce didn't mean a financial end for many boomers (or, at least, they probably weren't aware that's what could happen).

With the rise of the internet, young people are aware of the risks and how susceptible they are to those risks. Since younger generations also no longer feel the same level of stigma for fulfilling sexual and emotional needs from partners outside of marriage, it follows that marriage rates would fall.

It also makes sense that divorce rates would fall. Older generations' marriages that have lasted this long will probably last until death. Younger generations that choose to marry will likely have found and married another successful, responsible person. My guess is these marriages are (on average) more stable than those of previous generations.
Marriage actually has nothing to do with religion at all, at least in the US. It's a legal contract and done via the local government. The wedding aspect is ancillary and not required at all. Note that this legal contract does have many logical outcomes like setting things up for children and (optionally) treating the married couple as a single entity for things like taxes and property ownership.
I have to agree that the divison based on hardware/software doesn't solve all problems. See for example Google who licenses Android to phone manufacturers (which still is far from optimal).

But I do think this division is an essential step.

Seems like you’ve reversed causality there. Poverty is a social context that shapes many of the attributes you’ve described. It’s not as if you took a kid from a rich family and put him in with poor one, his genetic virtues would somehow make him come out on top.
> The biggest drawback I've seen to CQRS - particularly in an event driven architecture - has been increased complexity, usually in exchange for increased scalability.

I fail to see how CQRS is a factor in increased complexity. After all, CQRS boils down to separating the interfaces for queries/reads/immutable operations and commands/writes/mutable operations. Unless you're bolting on unrelated concepts, like event sourcing, then CQRS is not a significant source of increased complexity in non-trivial applications.

Can you shine some light on which aspects led to higher complexity in your use of CQRS?
It's traditionally linked to religion, but not exclusive to it. Outside of the legal status, getting married is still a way to formalize and celebrate your commitment to someone.
Living standards for people doing lower-skilled manufacturing work are decreasing because that work is (in a whole lot of cases) not economic to do in the U.S. any more.

That isn't anything to do with "coastal elites" or whoever you're referring to as the disdainful part of the population here. The causes are globalization and automation; and both of those look like utter inevitabilities at this point.

Rather than making this into a culture war, perhaps we should be talking about policy alternatives that don't result in a trajectory of helplessness for those affected by those global, secular changes.
