Improving social skills and using them manipulatively are entirely different things. If you've ever known or worked with psychopaths you'll get that immediately. I suppose there's a continuum but still.
I’d prefer to see multiple agencies independently evaluating this.

Swiss cheese model. Each agency is going to have holes, and many previously unknown ones could be exposed given the unusual time and societal pressures they’re working under.

If the UK approves something and everyone goes “eh, good enough” that’s significantly riskier than if we wait the extra week or two and get consensus from the UK, EU, US, etc. The chances of large holes showing up in the processes of all of those agencies that align to miss something is much less.

We’re talking about things we’re going to be injecting into literally hundreds of millions of people very quickly. The risks of a fuckup here are pretty severe and it’s quite likely a severe mistake would cause more harm than delaying another week or two.

"If there are multiple versions of a function, consider making a single function with more, possibly defaulted, parameters."
I have years avoiding to do this because there is a known code smell that happens when a function execution changes based on parameters. My personal rule is to be splendid with functions.

It is not purely declarative, but Fraser & Hanson's lcc comes close while still delivering good optimization -- and has a book describing it (IIRC it was written literate-programming style).

It's been 20 years or more, I played with an older version that required an Icon interpreter as part of the build chain, and I think they had a later one that did away with that requirement.

The code generator is basically built from a declarative description of tree matching/rwriting templates with a cost model, and the compiler will find the optimal cost match.
I left this comment on a previous thread on the whole apache thing and it seems appropriate for this topic too:

Oh look, yet another Apache real time/batch/big data/stream processing/ingestion/workflow/whatever product.

Apache Druid
Apache Spark
Apache Storm
Apache Flink
Apache Beam
Apache Apex
Apache Airavata
Apache Samza
Apache TEZ
Apache Hama

It's basically a terrible joke at this point. There's no single Apache page helping you to decide which one you want, and they all seem to have such large overlap. Most of them seem to have bad documentation, and give the appearence of not really being maintained. This puts me off even trying to use them. If there's this much scope creep/NIH/reinventing the wheel happening across the board, I can't imagine how bad each product is individually.

Apache Kafka seems to be the only exception...
Yes, probably cashed out at around $1.5m - but a long journey. Co-founded startup around turn of the century, growth slow but upwards. Institutional investors come on-board, and maybe 5 years in was the opportunity to sell some founder stock to institutional investors. Because this is not my first rodeo, we knew that when there’s an opportunity to get some cash, if you don’t take it, the chance might not come again. Sold enough for a house (would be a deposit now...). A few years later, IPO gave the opportunity to cash out up to 25% of each founders individual holding at more or less IPO price, so I did. Which was lucky, as the company got hammered by the markets (couldn’t continue hockey stick growth), and eventually it got gobbled up by one of those funds that picks up undervalued SaaS companies for a song, which was what I got for the remaining holding.

$1.5m is not enough for helicopter retirement, but it is enough to dig out of a hole when life takes unexpected turns, and you need to do things like buy a new house at 30 days notice without having to (or being able to) sell your old one.

> You can own your data and still use public cloud.

First it will be good if you read through the terms of service, privacy, data retention and service agreement contract. You will be astonished to know that buried deep within the legal language the data is owned by the cloud provider (as they own access as well as the rights to physical resource holding the data) and they provide you an option to export it (but this can be completely blocked by a notice from govt.). You can mitigate the risk by encrypting the data with your own key which is not shared with cloud provider (but indeed this is also not true most of the time given the key to encrypt the data is hosted with the cloud provider as well).

For your reference AWS for its instances still do not support ed25519 key for SSH access and needs an RSA public key (although its less secure). We need to go extra mile to customize the AMI images to support ed25519 keys and remove the account and keys created by AWS.

Please let me know how you will recover the data in case your multi-site deployment on AWS with DR is blocked by aws as they received a notice from government agency with a gag order.

> You are familiar with using multi-site DR strategies, yes?

Most companies using AWS or GCP or Azure use multi-region deployment (which means using different regions). But all will be shut down with a one single notice from government agency with gag order (you won't even know why given gag order).

So your multi-site DR will only work if the company keeps a self-hosted backup of data to avoid cloud provider from shutting down access to the data. This is precisely my point that self-hosted guarantees freedom not the cloud which is right opposite of freedom (traded for convenience).
> In other words, the video says you can simply not connect to it and not use it if you don't want it. He never says anything about it being hardwired to the padframe.

I didn't get that impression. As I understood it, the probing and controlling is, entirely, "if you want". However IO via the harness is not optional. As the other user says, perhaps this was not communicated clearly to you, but an intentional bait and switch it doesn't appear to be.
This is advocated in some popular books, but IMO it's the worst reason to break up a large function.

You end up with the same amount of code, but now you have to jump around. In most cases it also forces you to turn local variables into instance variables, globals, or pass state in parameters in order to carry state between the new functions, which further decreases readability.

You might as well add an "index" at the top of the large function and get the same readability benefits from doing it.

What should be done instead is trying to find code that can be abstracted without hurting readability. Most of the time in large functions there are mixed abstraction levels, such as business logic mixed with I/O, generic error handling that could be somewhere else, or object transformation that exists because of different libraries working differently.

When you automatically refactor into smaller functions you carry those problems into the small functions and you get code that is probably harder to follow, generates worse stack traces and only looks good in a shallow inspection.

I think it can be good to have functions that are only called in one place if they do really well defined things. load_settings, or similar is probably one called on one place, but if it makes sense to have it as a separate function.

Yeah, and given the political pressure they're likely to do it earlier (I believe they meet every 2 weeks, and they received the application documents with the complete data set on monday).

Not very familiar with the situation across the pond but in much of Europe the expectation from companies providing commercial transportation services are far higher than just booking method:

- Drivers need a different, more expensive license or attestation that needs to be renewed periodically;

- Car needs a more expensive commercial insurance that covers all passengers and cargo, to a much higher payout, not just the driver like most Uber drivers have;

- Car needs to be inspected far more often to ensure it's roadworthy and can stand that driving regime for the future;

- Prices are regulated because the taxi service is seen as closer to public transport than to personal one. So you don't see price fluctuations more than you'd see for the bus;

- They need an authorization to serve an area (meaning they were checked according to local regulation);

- The company is responsible for its employees in many ways;

- And more.

A restaurant's kitchen has higher requirements than your private one which makes owning and operating a commercial kitchen far more resource intensive than a private one. There's no "kitchen sharing" where you can sell food straight from your private kitchen, "infirmary sharing" where you can pretend you're a doctor or a hospital room, or "legal office sharing" where you can pretend to be a lawyer without meeting all the requirements imposed on those sectors.

This is the loophole Uber exploited. Replace "car" with "house/room" and you get AirBnB. When they had enough of a head start they started complying with some regulation, while still acting like they're a different kind of service for what other regulation is concerned. They want to live on the border and pick and choose what applies to them, something no other commercial service is allowed to do. Except all the other disruptors who raise enough money to afford some fines while they still operate in a grey area. Cost of doing business.
So instead of making their system less-privacy-invasive (which I have seen no indication should be impossible wrt the APIs mentioned here), they just shut down services where this is regulated.

Not surprised, but there's no way to spin this in a way that doesn't make Facebook look shady and bad. So much for "working with regulators".

The 10% return is quite risky as you have to have 100% of your money in lets say in index funds but then the max drawdown is around 50% if we look at the past 20 years of data (lets say s&p 500) think of 2008. If you balance it out with bonds it wont be 10%.

Well thanks for chipping in [0]. Got anymore glib, smug responses to things that nobody said?

[0] I don't actually mean "thanks". That's childish and passive-aggressive of me, and I shouldn't do it. What I really mean is to suggest that I think you've added nothing to this and that you're addressing a point that nobody made, for reasons only you know. I would guess that it's some kind of hyperbole, and that what you kind of mean is "oh, for something as important as this, someone will do a proper job" which is at least a meaningful statement (if perhaps something of a triumph of hope over experience), but if I have to pick apart your snark to get the actual meaning, I'm doing your job for you. Can you not just write clearly, and state what you mean?

I worked besides my wife on some protein folding problems. People often want to know why it is so expensive.

I unusual describe it as, someone gives you all Lego pieces in a Lego box. The job of the folding algorithm is, to re-create what's on the picture of the package without looking.

I think it's easy to see, even if you only had 2 Lego bricks, that you have quite a lot of option to put the 2 bricks together. That grows quickly the more bricks you have.

Anecdotally it (psychologically) helps some of my beginners students in Processing (young designers), because they feel less overwhelmed by their code when it has started to grow over their comfort threshold.
As beginners their brain isn’t used to selectively focus and block out the rest, so folding functions helps them focus.
It’s also a good way for me to end the moment when I show them how to extract some code out of the Processing main loop function into a separate function, “now that we invented our own command we don’t need to look at it all the time … and we could also put it in a library…”.

I'm going to disagree with sibling and say that a lot has changed since 2007. The biggest game changers arrived in C++11 like auto and move semantics, but C++17 also introduced some interesting stuff like optionals, destructuring, folding expressions and lambda capturing this by value.

>and wrecked any hope of Sweden handling the pandemic well

Sweden handled the pandemic better than anyone. Life went on as close to normal as any country, and their number of deaths seems pretty average for a European country. The only mistake they made was sending elderly to care homes which ended up accounting for over 50% of the deaths (a mistake made by many countries).

> The contrarians in Sweden and the Great Barrington Deckaration (which is hilariously not scientific at all, and is basically completely wrong at this point) are not holding a contrary scientific viewpoint.

There is very little scientific evidence about lockdowns, or (non n95) masks or any of the other measures we are being forced into. Everyone basically just copied what China were doing. Very scientific. (And listened to Neil Ferguson who's models predictions have been out by an order of magnitude) .

While the typesetting might not be very portable or compact, this is beautifully useful for teaching. The two extra identities found appear difficult to prove, but in this notation are blindingly obvious.

I wonder if this can be used to apply to other sets of functions, or if the geometry of chaining functions so can be extended to other such geometrically-obvious proofs.
Are there any big downsides to compiling to C instead of LLVM? I would assume that it would be less performant but it feels like a shallow preconception.
Since this version of your language will never be used by thousands of users (if you ever hit sucess you’ll want to rewrite your compiler anyway) QBE is a lot simpler to use than LLVM. The main limitation is the limited set of target architecture, and probably the dlow development. In effect Linux AMD64 and ARM64 are the only well supported architectures. Also you may be able to compile to windows using mingw assembler.

Yes, people still write fortran in 2020. It's not just for legacy products (as, I think, Cobol is). Fortran is a very expressive and efficient language for high-performance computation. When you start a calculation that may take weeks to complete, you want to use a tool that you can trust.

Fortran is a great language for legacy products, with code written 50 years ago still working fine. But it has also gained new features over the years, keeping it ahead of competitors in terms of its ability to harvest all a machine can deliver.

This is all for technical work like numerical modelling. Scientists are a very practical lot, switching from Fortran to C (usually C++) when that makes sense, then to python, R, etc when that makes sense, and so forth.

The original article was about scientists switching to rust. I don't know anyone who has done that. I do know many who are exploring Julia, though.

Bear in mind that scientists tend to be quite good at technical work. Learning a new language is not a significant problem for them. But scientific programming is about much, much more than programming. The essence of scientific programming is in the underlying mathematics and science, and Fortran just happens to be pretty good at those things.

I do it. Without mutexes.

I don't count single-writer ring buffers among the ordinary lock-free queues, because there is no competition for access, and cache lines never change ownership. So, none of the overheads show up. And, they are very easy to get right, so pose none of the risk of subtle heisenbugs.

Being able to kill and add downstream clients at random is worth a lot of architectural rejiggery.
