Exactly the same feeling. It is not clear that the service is paid because it is mentioned that the extension is open-source. I understand you need to keep the lights on, but it is better to let know about about the pricing I upfront.

You mentioned there is a free tier, but can't see what's supported on free vs the paid tiers. It'll be better if you add the free tier and features to the comparison chart. Just my two cents.

A great idea regardless, kudos.
Yes, plenty of times. Usually I find that they do what you would expect them to do: set up a bunch of parameters like an installation prefix, and then copy files around. They also handle user input options and maybe prompt for some stuff.
> It's worth bearing in mind that initially (and until only a few months ago iirc) tests were only available to certified essential workers - first NHS staff, then civil servants, etc.

You’re not saying true things. Why are you spreading this disinformation despite everyone correcting you? They’ve been randomly sampling. R values are randomly sampled.
I did!

The usual annoying thing is the automated package install. I have not looked at this particular package, but in the past, I have seen:

- installing specific gcc version and making it system-default.

- installing “virtualbox” packages - this was the worst, as the machine had a few KVM VMs running at the same time, and KVM and VirtualBox cannot run at the same time.

In general, I now stay away from every install script, and if I cannot, then I run it in docker container. Life is short, I do not want to spend it fixing my primary workstation.

(And I examine postinst scripts in deb files too, but those are usually much more boring)
This is what I was exactly thinking by reading the first two paragraphs. But then he jumped on "Just must need to work 80 hours per week to do something meaningful" bandwagon.
Yea both of my mountain bikes are now tubeless and I agree that it is much less of a hassle. My main point is that everybody is talking about how eBikes can get the older folks back out on the bike but when you start talking about tubes and tires you are right back at that ultra-competitive space where people are shaving grams etc. That is part of the bike culture that I do not like, I wish it was more like the Netherlands here in the US. I imagine lots of utilitarian bikes and decent shops all over the place. Here in the US the shops tend to focus exclusively on the high end. It reminds of high school athletics where the varsity football team gets 90% of the budget all to help out 5% of the students, just one more lopsided aspect of the US and our approach to physical fitness.
I still look forward to how editions will actually work in practice, when Rust gets a couple of years behind it.

Lib A compiled with edition 2018, talking callbacks to functions implemented in Lib B with edition 2020, Lib C edition 2030 importing Lib D edition 2025.

Naturally, I am also assuming that for pleasing the commercial users of binary libraries, typical in C and C++ universe, all those crates are only available as binary libraries being pulled into a multi-edition final executable.
Bizarro the one on-topic comment here is "Dead." I came across this in reviewing echo state networks which this appears to be a distant relative of. The code samples made it useful.

Thanks for your note. I have had a several bursts of play with Red, but it keeps slipping my mind. I suspect it would be an easier starting point than building up Forth from nothing.

There may be a challenge bootstrapping that ecosystem on obscure platforms. If I remember correctly, you need an existing Red or Rebol in order to build the latest Red.

I will update the Limit page with a reference to this.
I think it really depends on if your development workflow requires VMs/Docker or not. It seems crazy to me to have a bunch of containers running using 4-8gb each, but for many that is how they develop.
Ah yes, that worthless old argument.

No, wait, two worthless arguments: one, that we cannot be grateful without being patriotic; two, that the alternative is Nazis and Commies.

Both are, of course, without a shred of evidence, common sense, or reason. They come from a place that recognises only binary divisions of humanity. Us, and them.

Oh, and that false assumption that the people who salute flags get to make the moral judgements.

Since I don’t have privileged white settler ancestry but come from a long line of the stateless and persecuted, my answer is that you can shove such false dichotomies up Satan’s privilege-assuming backside, because the only thing that experience reveals is that all patriotism is tyrannical.

Yup. I definitely feel like it's something that we've lost in the JIT based supply chains of today. As you correctly pointed out there's plenty of places in the US where earthquakes, hurricanes or other large scale events can introduce quite a shock to local systems.

With Apple moving forward rapidly on this architecture change, I expect them to upgrade the processors at a faster pace than normal. They are 6 months into a 2 year plan to migrate all of their systems. I would expect the next version of M chips in 6 to 12 months with higher RAM limits and faster GPU. That would be targeted at their other laptops and the iMac. It will likely take longer for them to get to something that can be used in the Mac Pro and maybe an iMac Pro where RAM and GPU needs are even greater.
Mount Pinatubo, in the Philippines, erupted in 1991 at VEI-6 (the same as Krakatoa in 1883), to similar artistic delight. Ken Rockwell has a series of photos[1] that beautifully illustrate the otherworldly quality of light that the particulates in the atmosphere created.

Child labour and slavery remain commonplace in many poor countries. In industrialized countries, a high level of labour productivity, technology, and automation makes it impractical or too expensive to hire a slave or a child. Put another way, advanced economies are advanced enough that there is little useful work that could be performed by a child or a slave, if child labour or slavery were still legal.

Data collection, on the other hand, can only take place in countries with a high level of Internet penetration and a developed digital infrastructure.
Have used it in a go mono-repo. It’s own convention on packages and bad integration with IDE makes it a hard sell for me. I mean I just paid for Goland IDE why would I waste my time integrating with something that might or might not work for others. It’s a very hard sell.

Can you give an alternate definition for probability than "decision making under uncertainty?" I've never heard one. Sure there are mathematical real-analytic "theories of probability" but that's abstract analysis of measure, until it's applied to answer how... probable something is

While is true - this is a systemic problem much older than Modi.

Also FYI article is from 2012, Modi became PM in 2014. While I believe the Modi government has behaved dangerously and has pushed several harmful ideologies and policies - this particular problem with food distribution is older than his regime.
We bought a chest freezer and started canning stuff because, seeing the general disregard for masks and germ-courtesy among Americans, we've limited our grocery store trips even more and buy in bulk. This means we inevitably end up with some extra fruit, juice, stock, etc. that's too old to comfortably eat unprocessed but not old enough to be spoiled. Maybe it's not necessary for survival now, but I find it difficult to throw away good food anymore without thoughts of how much regret I'd feel in the future if the worst happened and we ran out.

The real shortage is the canning lids, since you can reuse the jars with sterilization but the lids must be replaced.
I find that the hot hand principle applies to work as well, in a way. There are times when I can sit down and hack through a tough, deep programming problem in a non-stop run, and times when trying to do that would be futile and unproductive... but maybe I’m up for clearing my inbox instead. Every time I try to regiment my daily activity or structure my to-do list with asana or whatever, I just end up falling back to “remember the 5-10 things you have to do and work on the piece you’re motivated to work on right now”.

it's pretty crazy what people are willing to do to make Python faster: Pyston, Numba, Cython, RipTable. Instead of just biting the bullet and adandoning Python, they spend thousands of manhours trying to hack a fundamentally slow and broken language into something that is acceptable.

I see these hacks as a cognitive bias and rarely think they are the rational and correct decision.

Just use Julia and call it a day. It really is that easy.
I almost always inspect these kinds of scripts before running, more out of curiosity than anything, but also so that I know its not going to do that so stupid that even I can see it's stupid. Usually you can just pipe to `cat`, which is super low effort to do.

I've occasionally seen scripts that install some other application where it was not clear that it was a dependency and there was no heads up to the user that this was going to happen: that kind of behavior makes me more distrustful of the author, so there's a useful signal there.

Most scripts like this seem to amount to "configuration defaults + cli completions installation". To that end, I find looking at them useful because it gives me a sense of the expectations of the tooling and hints at where I might find things if I need to go debugging later.

When they are provided by the same entity as the program you wish to run, I don't see how it's significantly more risky to run these scripts than running the application code itself with the active user's permissions. Still, if there was something, by glancing at the script, you have half a chance of seeing it. If there's something there that doesn't make sense, that's both a "proceed with caution" and a learning opportunity.
You can order it. Just not yet with an M1 CPU ;)

Measure theory is a powerful tool, but how does that answer the question of what probability is?

Akin to physics, studying the wave equation doesn't tell you what the wave equation is in the real world.
Not sure why people are so worried about developers getting trapped by locked down systems. I have plenty of other PC’s, running Linux, *BSD, Windows much less locked down. I’m very aware Apple is controlling of their platforms. No I’m not thrilled about certain aspects of the M1 platforms, but most platforms I’ve used feel locked down in some shape or form. If, in the case Apple tries some of the outlandish theories out there, I’ll simply cease to use it and probably trash Apple then as it will be useless to me, but I’m not locked into anything.
Junior interviews are broken: a few hints to succeed nevertheless
American brand patriotism with it's strong demands of unthinking obedience has a lot of the same qualities as a religion.
Theoretically yes, it is all turing complete at the nd.
Practically no, it is the matter of established conventions.

For example, most interactive installers I have seen prompt for install location, and write minimal amount of files outside of it. The chance that they break your system is pretty low.

At the same time, many |bash scrips like to install system-wide packages, or use pip as root, or other potentially breaking things. And they do not ask you before installing this, and often auto-confirm, too.
Having things available right now, in small quantities, near to you, is precisely the service local hardware stores have always provided. For a small fee.

Of course they can be had cheaper, and in a wider variety, from some huge warehouse further away. But then you can't get the job done this afternoon. The change from 1950s mail order is that the payment is easier, the shipping is (sometimes) faster, and that you might get the Chinese knock-off.

> it's fairly clear that Mishima did not "die for his cause", or in fact have any expectation that his thoroughly half-assed coup would succeed... Political? Not really.

These are two separate things. I agree Mishima did not have any expectation his coup would succeed (at least not in any immediate sense), and was not in any sense an effective militia commander. But that doesn't mean he didn't die for his cause, nor that his cause wasn't political.

Mishima's aesthetic program is to attempt to fuse all these sometimes-conflicting things - anti-colonialism, conservative politics, "the Japanese spirit", homeroticism, his artistic method and particular output - into a singularity. "Perfect purity is possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of blood."

Fetishistic? Absolutely. Political? Also absolutely.

For what it's worth, the NDIHX software works well on iPhone and Mac through OBS, and is at least available on Windows.

Usually tracing generational GC with copying GC as the last phase is the overall fastest. There can be also mock refcounting in a mix. Typically 0,1, many for some data structures.

Why? I pragmatically use my computer with packages my distro offers me. When I download something from untrusted sources, I do take a quick look at what it is before executing it. It still is dangerous since I'm not able to spend time on verifying every single line of it, but it's up to me to decide whether that's an acceptable risk or not. All perfectly pragmatic.

I'm not a kind of person who's on a crusade against curling into bash, but I never do that myself because it feels dirty. It gives me no advantages and makes me unable to even take a quick look to reassure myself that things at least look like what I'd expect them to be.

Only if we are talking about learning to program or OS scripting.

ML, .NET can easily bind to the same C, C++ and Fortran used by "Python" libraries.

Web development, yeah as long as one doesn't get thousands of requests per second stressing the poor CPython interpreter.

Desktop? WinRT binding are still embryonic, and there is hardly anything comparable to Forms, WPF.
Your example suggests to me the opposite: Probability is a real and objective way to describe the information you have. "Garbage in, garbage out" still applies when you have no information.

I have a question about how Kolmogorov complexity is related to "Human complexity" or complexity of understanding?

E.g. a program may be very complex in Kolmogorov terms, like describing 1000 random numbers - easy to understand: you have a database of numbers, and a simple procedure that would scan through it. You can also imagine some real-world microservices-based program with a good architecture and a lot of code that handles all the exception cases of incoming data, all easily understandable.

And now imagine an optimizing compiler for prolog programs. It may have much less code but the algorithm will be so complex that it might be impossible to fully understand its behaviour. E.g. fast-downward is a great example of such a program.

So I'm wondering what does Kolmogorov complexity actually tell? Or does it tell anything useful in "real"-world?

The actual reason the M1 Macs cap out at 16GB is that they use LPDDR4, and that on a 128-bit bus caps out at 16GB. Assuming that they move to LPDRR5 as it becomes available (hasn't Apple generally been pretty quick on the uptake on new RAM standards?), that limit goes up to 64GB.
I would assume code analysis.

8gb still sounds a bit excessive but given how long java stack traces can be maybe it's not so strange.

That's just because it's a loose description in English. It would actually be a short computer program that calculates pi, and instead of the first 40 digits you could ask for, say, a megabyte of data, or take the limit as the amount of data grows.

Transmitting a program to compute pi would be shorter than the data needed by any compression algorithm that isn't somehow based on knowing the trick.

The same trick could be used for any mathematically interesting number. The point is that incompressible random sequences exist that are not like that. You can't do better than transmitting the sequence itself.
Thanks. Yes, I'll add it to the comparison. Free plan has all the features of Solo plan and it is "upgrade when you can".
One requirement on my "production ready" checklist is that any catastrophic system failure can be resolved by starting a completely new instance of the service, and it be ready to serve traffic inside 10 minutes.

That should be tested at least quarterly (but preferably automatically with every build).

If Amazon did that, this outage would have been reduced to 10 mins, rather than the 12+ hours that some super slow rolling restarts took...

The pilots I know also like a lot of order in the rest of their lives (matching plates, keep their tools in order, just the sort of daily-life organization that is somewhat alien to me). Not to the point of clinically-diagnosed OCD, because I don't think these pilots have intrusive thoughts and compulsions -- they just get positive feelings from having things organized and slightly more deterministic.
