Not the poster you're responding to, but practically every time someone wants to write code that mimics `map` or `filter` and gang is a 5-7 line function (at least). Something that would have been a 1 liner in languages like Java or C#. It gets tiring and distracting very quickly to jump around verbose implementations which amount to nothing more than standard streaming functions.

Another example is the lack of annotations for validations. In Java or C#, you'd annotate the function argument with something like `@Validated`, and it's taken care of. In golang, calling the validation code would have to be done manually each time that's another 3-4 lines (including error handling).

Yet another example is that golang lacks a construct similar to C#'s `Task`. You can't execute a function that returns a value asynchronously (if you care about that value) without creating a channel and passing it.

golang also lacks pattern matching and discriminated unions (aka algebraic data types). Java and C# are getting both (both have pattern matching, and ADTs are in the works as far as I'm aware).

“Not affirm” means they don’t take it as an axiom (“we don’t take this to be obviously true”)

“reject” would mean that if, given their set of axioms, it could be proven, they would try and tweak their axioms in order to make it unprovable or provably false in their system (“we think this cannot and should not be true”)

So, “not reject” means they would happily use it in their proofs, if it could be proven from their set of axioms (“interesting. That gives us a powerful tool to do proofs”)

It doesn't say it doesn't not do it not somewhat
>Basically everyone

Plurality of countries, including majority Islamic countries, have stated positions that still support Chinese actions in XJ as counter insurgency. CCP has and maintained the dominant narrative.

>semantic point

Semantics is the only context that matters if the goal is to trigger legal consequences. Cultural genocide doesn't legally exist, it's a more apt label but one that does not have any diplomatic consequences. Hence effort to over-exaggerate, which has and will fail for the simple reasons that 1) it's not correct 2) China has more support.

>being too aggressive

Outside of possibly a few FVEY countries making effort to coordinate their own deliberations, the majority of the world will not adopt genocide label because they understand the US led initiative is bullshit and self-serving. There's a reason Pompeo tried to bypass straight into genocide despite crimes against humanity being a more appropriate label as determined by the review findings of his own state department. Crimes against humanity, while more formalized than cultural genocide, still does not have comprehensive convention or consequences. No one is obligated to sanction or punish crimes against humanity. And if it ever did, it would open up US actions to similar scrutiny. It's why the Hague Invasion Act exists.

“Skip breakfast and eat an early dinner. Don’t snack.”
Yes but not significantly better. And there were quite a few studies to choose from and still quite a few left after filtering for the best.

It's a fairly strong statement that despite a lot of studying, no evidence of any meaningful benefit for weight loss, and no benefit at all for CVD is found.

There could be other benefits, of course.

In fact, personally, I tried IF and what I found to be the greatest benefit was sleeping better. All I really have to do to maintain that same benefit is stop eating a couple hours earlier than I did before IF, and that's ... if we're being honest here ... that's long and well known good advice: don't eat near bedtime. For me it just didn't click that it meant don't eat several hours before bedtime as opposed to say, 30-40 minutes before bedtime.

Anyway, it's not surprising to me that little benefit is discovered so far from IF. It is an interesting idea, but, not much of a mechanic associated with it to explain any benefits. Most aspects of our metabolic processes do not work timeframes below a few days.

Actually, the parts that DO work on short time frames related most strongly to the health outcomes they stated could not be judged by the studies, including glucose impact. So I guess cross your fingers that in the future it can be shown that IF helps glucose management and reduces diabetes risk/impact.

Binary search won’t be any faster (in big O) because it’s backed by an array: you’ll still need to copy every element after the removed one from slot n to n-1.
That's a different game! You're thinking of Starship Titanic.

The Church-Turing thesis is not logically provable, as it asserts that an informal concept, 'any solvable problem', can be formally defined as 'any problem solvable by a Turing machine', or equivalently by a few other models of computation (primitive recursive functions, lambda calculus, others discovered in the meantime).

The equivalency of the formal models is well-proven. However, equivalency between a formal construct and an informal human idea is outside the realm of what we can even attempt to currently prove.
Luckily reality doesn't care whether you like it or not, to put it bluntly :-)

All you really have to do is to listen to people when they describe the struggles they go through, the injustices they face and the roadblocks in their path. It quickly becomes obvious that a lot of people[1] really are in disadvantaged positions, some even from birth, while others see mild corrections to their ingrained behavior and reminders of how privileged they are, as massive infractions on their personal freedoms.

Speaking truth to power by dumping on the over-privileged people of the world is catharsis and a necessary healing step.

The first problem it pops-out when I read your comment is that you are sure your opinions represent the good and opinions that go against yours are objectively the evil. Censoring what is not what you want to express is thus virtuous. Imagine for a moment that this platform would be against calling for “censoring morons” and thus your comment banned.
I really want to see positive news, and the vaccination rollout (despite how uneven it is) is definitely positive.

But the focus on herd immunity, if conflated with immunity after infection, is misleading:

Look at what's happening in Manaus:

The news there are definitely sobering :(

Unfortunately, the multiplication of strains of covid19 was inevitable, due to the decision of multiple countries to let the disease spread almost unchecked through its population :/
> You are already liable for US taxes for at least the next 10 years abroad, from the date you have been judicially determined to have abandoned your green card.

There is an expatriation tax if you've been a GC holder for 8 out of 15 years, which I haven't been so I'm fine to leave without any hassles of worrying about taxes.

I don't see the point in US citizenship, I have 2 other strong citizenships that cover all of my needs, unless I decide to stay in the US.

I'm a bit confused by all of this.
The idea of coroutines existed since the 60's. Then we came up with OOP that tries to combine function + data. And now we abolished this, are back at only functions and are now solving the 'state capture' problem for functions again with: Coroutines?
How does the history of programming paradigms/patterns make any sense? :)

Good article though.
The juice just isn't worth the squeeze.

I can't speak for Exuma, but I've built several ad networks and buying tools that needed to handle over as much as a trillion daily events, and that means lots of HTTP event collectors writing events down into a lot of otherwise independent streams that you need to merge-sort together into coherent reporting and deduplicate client retries.

In principle, anything with statement-replication (such as one of the multi-master plug-ins for Postgres) could be made to work here, but error recovery tends to be poorly considered (and users expect no downtime here) and so it's almost certainly easier to just write a log file (or let cloudfront or whatever do it), and write a custom log shipper. Dedup in a window is easy, but UPDATE on a tall skinny table even with an INDEX is slow.

If you want to materialise that in Postgres back at home-base, that can probably work. There are a lot of single-writer methods to scale Postgres. I've used Postgres for this and it's fine.

The other problem is configuration: Outside of naive impression counting, your HTTP "event collector" might also need to be smart enough to choose an ad. Naively relying on replication from your configuration database to all your nodes means it's easy to get split-brain, and you're still taking an (often unacceptable) performance hit asking the "local" Postgres server your questions -- Meeting hard-realtime guarantees consistently (usually 30-50msec) is hard for a bit of PHP and Postgres to accomplish. Usually I'll build the decision logic into the configuration payload -- actually pre-compile the decision tree (in one implementation, into C that was loaded by a openresty+lua driver every config-change) so that the code doesn't waste any time asking the database over and over for the same key that probably hasn't changed.

Erlang is also a good choice for adtech people, because it has this cluster-wide messaging, hot code reloading (good for config!), a built-in binary log (disk_log) with replication capabilities, and a in-memory database (mnesia) that is good for generating reports out of.
You ask why it should work differently but then give a good reason why it should work differently: sometimes splitting by bytes is not the best unit.

And it actually does often work differently for PNG! PNG has a handful of preprocessing options for the pixels. So in filter mode 2, for example, deflate is encoding the difference between each pixel and the pixel above it. More or less.

Heh yeah fair enough. I find Kotlin infuriating to work in (far more so than many objectively worse languages) because it's such a step backwards from Scala, but if I didn't know what I was missing then I'd probably feel the same way.

No, it's correct.

Most people define IF as eating within a 12 to 6 hour period each day. For most people this is literally just skipping breakfast and eating lunch & dinner.
5k per month is 60k per year. A typical developer makes at least 100k per year in the US; but if you are only support yourself then you can easily live on 40k per year outside of SV and a few other high-rent areas. The math checks out. And sending 60% of your salary back home is something that plenty of people do.
I wonder if Humanity will shut itself out of existence if we start counting every single pathology on that affects Humans on big banners and "social-media-fy" it. I mean, there were 3x more deaths by overdose in SF than by Covid. There are 2x more deaths in India by TB, and a lot more from malnutrition and poverty.

Why are the Americans doing this propaganda op ? Ionnidis' latest paper even points to lockdowns not being particularly helpful across multiple countries.
It seems like we want to make it happen again just because it's the story we know.

Looks very interesting.

I would love to see an online repl/playground for this, similar to the TS playground (https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/).
It’s indeed a hard point to get across when you’ve been indoctrinated (we all are about something) that leaving it to the government is a better option. For example, people in Europe obsess about retirement plans, but rarely consider the possibility for creating their own private future financial plan.

The one I've heard most about is 16:8, which would mean e.g. first meal being lunch at 12 and last one dinner before 20, resulting in a 8-hour eating window, and a 16 hour fasting one.
Sounds like Douglas Adams’ copy protection did it’s job so!

He typically published literature along with his games that if you didn’t have made the games frustratingly difficult or even impossible (see bureaucracy).

From the description of the disk you gave id say it’s highly likely you didn’t have access to that.
Your post makes it sound like you're speculating about what he wants. You could just ask him instead. Maybe he's feeling the same way, or maybe he's been planning what he wants to do in retirement for years and and has it all mapped out.
Eating only 12:00 to 20:00 can be achieved for a lot of people by only skipping breakfast and not snacking in the evenings and still falls under the (broad) banner of IF. It's quite a popular variant.
"The standard definition tells you not to" isn't as deep and complete and useful an explanation as "the standard definition tells you not to, because networking protocols should not have ambiguities or make guesses".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

To be precise instead of tautological (which you should be when arguing the pedantic nuances of networking protocols), when you use a word like "physically", you're implying that it has something to do with the "Physical Layer", and that there could not exist another networking protocol in the same universe that DID allow IP addresses in MX records, because it's forbidden by the physical laws of nature, not by the logical laws of networking protocols.

It's literally like using the word "literally" to mean "figuratively". (And I mean "literally" literally, not figuratively.)

Obviously it's not physically impossible, because sometimes people do it, and sometimes it even works.

I will agree that it's unwise and scandalous and logically impossible, just not "physically" impossible, and that a better explanation is needed. That's probably why the first reply to your comment was "Out of curiosity though: why is it like this?"

A networking protocol that operates faster than the speed of light, or sends information backwards in time, could be physically impossible, according to the currently known laws of physics.

Although it would be super cool and convenient if you could specify a "Date:" field in the past or the future to send email at the specified time.
The bus of pure speculation with next to zero tangible value? Yes, I missed it.
Rhodes writes about earlier concern whose finger was on what button, iirc when Macarthur panicked about the Korean war and requested local tactical command.
16/8 and alternate day are the most studied and popular to the best of my knowledge and seem to have pretty similar results. As said, there are countless variants out there.

For me personally, „skipping breakfast“ comes close enough as an oversimplification in practice.
Ouch, talking about ad hominem attacks...

Also, how did you go trough my comments and ignored everything else that did not support your hypothesis? You really are a NPC.
This problem transcends documentation of any given language's standard library. list.delete(value) in any programming language is a degenerate without an ordering or hash built-in to the underlying data structure.

If you ever need to delete based on value, it's a smell that a list is the wrong data structure. I'm sure there are cases in constrained environments where a linear search is heuristically okay, but generally in application development list.delete(value) is a hint that you're using the wrong data structure.
Sound like software development might be a good opportunity for your dad to put his analytical skills to good use in his retirement. I'd suggest finding an existing open source project that relates to a field that he has particular interest in. That might be something related to his career or other interests throughout his life. Choosing a project that has an innate interest to him is more likely to be "sticky" and would make learning the new technologies and systems more achievable. By far the best place to start would be on Github of course, scan through the projects on there for something that jumps out and is looking for contribution.

Note that the author (in addition to being a great professor) is responsible for one of my favorite papers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11098655
Minor quibble: the vaccines were tested on their ability to minimize symptomatic cases of any kind, not just serious cases. In fact, the Pfizer study didn't have any data on serious cases at all (they had a total of 4 serious cases, one in the vaccine group, three in the control group - not enough to make any prediction at all on the effect against serious cases.

The other studies fare a little better, but we know a lot more about the effects on any kind of Covid19 than on serious cases, or on transmission of SARS-COV-2 itself.
The author’s point is that by now, something at least 50% of the US population has had the virus and 15% have had the vaccine. And that for some reason, the official sources are just putting their hands on their ears and saying “LALALALALALALALALA” at the mere mention of herd immunity.

There is a resistance to accepting that this pandemic is soon going to end the way that just about every pandemic in the entirety of human history and pre-history has ended: enough people have had the virus and developed some level of immunity to prevent pandemic-level spread. The only difference is that we are giving the natural process a little boost through vaccination (but not by much since we got a late start because we refused to do challenge trials, so the vaccine that was done in May was not distributed until December because more tedious and less accurate non-challenge trials had to be done).

I think there will be a hesitancy to accept this because lockdowns[0] and universal vaccination, reasonable ideas, have moved on from being points of pragmatic policy to being points of political dogma, such that they are resistant even to changing facts. And after being fed the nonsensical “if it saves even one life” line by their political heroes, it will be difficult for many people to accept that the real calculation involves accepting some “advanced” deaths (a strange concept because old folks on their death bed succumbing to the next common cold are usually not considered to have died earlier than they “should have”) for the sake of getting on with life, just like we do every year with all sorts of diseases in circulation.

It also represents of failure by the public health officials and experts. Because the vaccine was needlessly delayed, not many more lives were saved than if the virus was just allowed to run its course sometime last summer (once we discovered that ventilators were actively harmful in many cases) along with some basic precautions for vulnerable populations. We were held back by rigid medical ethics requirements banning challenge trials. So while individual cities could have hundreds or thousands of new cases per day, deliberately infecting a few hundred healthy people for the purpose of testing the vaccine was PROHIBITED. We lost half a year to this, trillions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of lives, and millions of livelihoods. All because we let a bunch of medical ethics theorists in ivory towers told us that we couldn't run common-sense low-risk trials.
Depends on what you want to use it for. Game programming with UE4 is much nicer with modern c++ syntax, or anything where you want to push the boundaries; but I use kotlin for most things because the syntax is much more concise and the performance isn't an issue.
