Newtonian physics ain't "correct" but it's damned useful.
There are many unencumbered filesystems with free software implementations. Sadly, compatible filesystem innovation seems to have stagnated about twenty years ago; all of the cool filesystems these days are developed by OS teams, for their specific OS. It's a bummer.
I tend to agree. An app store isn’t a prerequisite for the operating system sandboxing apps from each other, managing permissions, and providing a consistent installation and update experience. It’s only a prerquisite for anti-competitive behavior by phone/OS vendors.

Those are net of fees. They averaged over 30% annually over 5 years, net of fees. Investors with them since the beginning received a cumulative total return of nearly 400%. That puts you far ahead of SPY over the same time period.

And of course, the risk profile may be different. Equal returns can be more or less appealing depending on the risk profile.

While the common ancestor of the Saami languages came from the east, it spread in part by the local inhabitants adopting the language of outsiders. To a degree, the Saami are the same prehistoric peoples, they simply switched to speaking Saami. This is also why the Saami language is replete with words not found in other languages of the Uralic family: when the indigenous people learned Saami, they brought many of their original language’s words into their new language.

> Note that functions like sin and cos have exactly the same type signature, yet it is disastrous if you mix them up. Static type checking doesn't help.

I agree with you. I am hard-pressed to imagine types (where it's static analysis or anything at all) offering any help in catching inadvertent swaps of sin and cos.

One thing that types could help with is avoiding confusion between e.g. radians and degrees. Even this I believe is quite a challenge, because the quintessential (in my opinion) example of static analysis and types as they arise in science and engineering, the SI units and dimensional analysis, take radians to be dimensionless and therefore do not distinguish the input and the output types of e.g. sin (Radians).

I personally believe this problem is rectifiable beyond the SI type system (or who knows, within it), but not at no cost. I believe the choice to not distinguish the input and output types of e.g. sin (Radians) is rooted in many different practical considerations, and points to the difficulty of formalizing types in practice.

> Test cases are therefore static checks.

I don't agree with this unless you are talking about tests that perform some kind of symbolic execution / static analysis within them. What static analysis grants you is checking a "for all x" claim, without literally checking each x. You can argue that for any given static analysis system, the kinds of claims it lets you check are not that useful in practice, and I would agree in many situations. But having a finite number of test cases that tests some x is not the same as testing for all x.

> There is no limit on the number of problems easier to solve using dynamically typed languages

40+ years of programming experience here + a language geek. I have for years programmed in both dynamic and static languages to find out what works best for me. My conclusion is that problems are easier to solve with statically typed languages. So clearly different languages works for different personalities.

Honestly, ten years ago was a better time for cryptocurrency as a currency. You could use it to pay for pizzas, there were online casinos, even some businesses selling actual hosting accepted it as a matter of course. Right now, it's this weird speculative asset that lots of people are interested in trading on, because it's a well-traded asset, but there seems to be zero interest in any of the fundamental principles of decentralization or divergence from fiat. Even longstanding businesses accepting it as a currency have stopped. It's closer to digital beanie babies than any sort of serious currency.

How to catch up with technology or other topics?
If you haven’t kept up with a technology or topic, but then want to see (as close to possible) an exact overview of what exactly has changed in the time you’ve been gone; what’s the best way to catch up with the topic?

If that's always an option why bother with proof of stake in the first place? Just let it do whatever and switch to the "correct" fork once in a while!

Taxes and provision of services are completely separated. Citizen did not get their money back when schools closed because of the pandemic.
For what it's worth, Lisa Su said that although AMD had underestimated demand, the tightness should ease up by the second half of this year.
Both parties could each do it with 500 shares. Then they'd each also owe each other the same amount.

No, unequal access to education is unethical.

While it might be impractical to guarantee absolutely equal education, most people agree access to a basic education is a human right.

It comes from the expression "fired in anger," which meant using a weapon in the heat of battle, i.e., that the weapon was battle tested.
Just because legacy auto has a painful and wasteful sales process doesn’t make comparing their vehicle gross margins “apples to oranges”. It means legacy auto needs to smarten up about their sales process.

Their gross margins do fluctuate quarter to quarter but over the last couple years on average have increased and they expect they will continue to do so as their new factories come online.

As I mentioned you have to example their operating profit (net margins) as a factor of their growth rate. Operating profit with no growth is the sign of a stagnating company.

No physical good manufacturing company can be both high growth and high operating profit. By definition profits are being spent on expanding the manufacturing lines.

The comparison with Amazon is because not many companies have year after year of CAGR in the realm of what Tesla has achieved.

If you own all of the voting shares sure. But a company can have 100,000,000 shares, own 99,000,000 of them, so only 1,000,000 are trading. If you buy all 1,000,000 of those shares you don't have much power.
I appreciate the effort you’ve both put in to concrete examples. I think yours gets to a point that I haven’t often seen stated. You’ve named your interface Person, but perhaps even Emailable could serve the purpose. The problem is that you had to name it. Naming well is hard, and I believe strong type systems often create a need for more names. It’s a cost I don’t often see considered in the tradeoff.

Maybe somewhat off topic ... I don't sell anything on any App stores currently but I do like the idea of having some way of creating "applications" that are a bit more discoverable. Last I checked GitHub search is pretty awful for discovery (maybe I'm wrong on that?). I could imagine an interface where it would be easier to browse "apps" that do something specific.

Mathworks (MATLAB) has a decent version of this: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/

People can provide feedback and ratings which makes it easy to see when projects are dead or when there are big issues that aren't being fix. You can also reference other projects - "This project is like that project but it is faster ..."

I don't think PyPi is all that good for this. Also, I've never really invested the effort to learn how to deploy an application to PyPi whereas something that simply points to my repo may be valuable?

Anyway, the main problem I want solved is not having people discover my code (although that would be great too), but being able to find other code more easily so I don't need to constantly reinvent the wheel.
You would be sure they would try to close as much as they need during that big dip
I'm sure it'll eventually ease up (there's always a crunch with new GPUs and consoles, plus all the factors of 2020/21), but I don't take AMD's word for much as their early PR on launch availability was hardly good. This was after what we saw happen for Nvidia's launch too.

Anyway, there's blame to go around, and these days I'm more inclined to look at how poorly retailers handle it. There are few (or none) backorders or queuing, and sometimes easily gamed systems. Either way they get their money, but it's not a good look. (It is not the end of the world, but annoying and doubly so when so many of us are stuck inside. Certainly much worse problems to have, I know.)

Why do we think that people organizing violence on Facebook is Facebook's fault?

We don't think it's T-Mobile or AT&T's fault when people coordinate via SMS. We don't blame Samsung or Apple for selling them phones. Why is Facebook being singled out for not being an effective enough pre-crime censor?
The movie GATTACA comes to mind which, while fictional raises some interesting ethical questions.
explain that to WAANK managers
AC really made my experience in Italy better —- I probably was more in awe of the buildings and paintings as I only interacted with them on the screen.

I did have the urge to climb up everything. Thankfully I didn’t try and then flip around and accidentally stab a passerby like I did hundreds of times in the game.

AC was sold in the Uffizi’s gift shop in Florence which was cool to see.

I know with Origins (the best of the games) they had an option to explore and not play the game.

It's human nature to want to place blame. No one was prepared for 2020. None of us knew what to do. None of us should really be held accountable for all the hell we went through. I think that applies equally to Trump, Fauci, Cuomo, BLM violence, the mess in Washington, the local leaders who let us down, and even our friends and family. We all deserve a break.

I guess what I mean is that they are slowly increasing their short positions like when (allegedly) short positions increased on the day when trading disallowed on several broker accounts.

More recently are weird stuff going on on r/wallstreetbets where award spamming on relatively unknown stocks with suspicious upvote activities were being called out which suggests that the hedge funds have realized the huge potential of influencing what makes it on the first page.

I really think its irresponsible people continuing to paint this as us vs them, when in reality the people that will be victimized are the ones that will have bought into the narrative to realize nobody wants to buy GME or AMC at the ridiculous prices.

We are seeing a weird FOMO based on politics not dissimilar to the "evil fiat feds vs crypto" narrative.

FYI Richard Muller has a terrible track record for this stuff. I distinctly recall listening to his lectures from almost a decade ago and he had a whole lesson on how the concept of an electric car was physically impossible, and Tesla would never be able to deliver a working vehicle. That's just the most prominent example but I recall there were at least 3-4 other questionable claims he made with shaky justifications before I stopped listening.

Still to the OP, the "Physics for future Presidents" lectures and/or book are probably the best place to start. Just take any controversial statements in it with a huge fucking grain of salt though.
I've just published an article that goes into depth about how to get a JackTrip Virtual Studio installed.

I might get some of the details wrong, but AT&T was forced to let smaller ISPs or telcos into their exchanges so they could set up equipment and act as an independent ISP on AT&T's copper. This wasn't huge win for small ISPs; AT&T still got most of the DSL orders, and it had a rough time competing with cable.
They acted in the only way that saved themselves and their customers from a painful bankruptcy.

It did nothing to boost Wall Street at all. And has zip to do with “corruption”.

Is this true on rolling releases like Manjaro or Arch? If you get the latest Mesa packages regularly, new GPU support seems pretty robust.

(Windows 10, where you can expect the latest hardware to work, is closer to a rolling Linux distro in that way. Meanwhile, point-release distros like Ubuntu seem more fit for purpose as server, not end-user, distros.)
...except that unlike slot machines, the probability of you winning does increase the second time around. It costs more money (in aggregate) to pump from $20 to $200, than from $200 to $2000. I'd also imagine that the buy side will gradually lose steam once meme fatigue starts to set in.

IMO the the package managers for most linux distros are better than either mobile app store. There is also flathub and the snap store. Macs of course have the apple app store, and homebrew is fairly prevalent as well. Even windows has AppGet and unofficial package managers like chocolatey. Maybe none of these are what the author thinks desktop "deserves", but if so, then what would be? And why would GitHub be any better at it than any of its tried and tested predecessors

A cloak-and-dagger tale behind an anticipated result in particle physics
For those of us doing any ML that requires CUDA/CuDNN. It feels that AMD (specifically for GPU) still isn't a viable option at this moment in time. I sincerely hope that this changes.
[Am author] The best alternative is not to need a business model for anything besides sponsoring development; there shouldn't be a single organization that needs a large sum of money to keep a platform alive. From the article:

> Not all software needs to rake in billions. Federation allows services and networks like the Fediverse and XMPP to scale up to large numbers of users without forcing a single behemoth to sell its soul to foot the bill. Although anti-domestication business models are less profitable, they still allow the creation of the same technologies that were enabled by user domestication. All that’s missing is an advertising budget; the biggest advertising some of these projects get is long unpaid blog posts.

Instead of building a platform that requires one actor to scale up to millions of users, build a platform that's simple enough for it to require less development effort and scale to only a few hundred/thousand users per federated server. Delegate hosting to the 0.05% of users willing and technical enough to run a server.

The Fediverse has scaled to millions of users with a grand total of $0.00 VC money.

Related: when people first envisioned the ideas that led to networks like the Web, sceptics would ask questions such as "Who's going to pay to make all those hyperlinks? What's the financial incentive to upload a document?"

If a system is designed right, there doesn't need to be a financial incentive (i.e., an ROI) to grow.
