Modern hardware is frankly amazing. I remember the 22” Trinitron CRTs of years ago and owning and driving one of those was a feat, now we have multiple displays with PPI such that with average visual acuity everything is so incredibly crisp.

The difference is that its up to you to provide the backend, so presumably you will be using whatever you're application is already using, rather than pulling in a new dependency just for Nuklear to work.

Its still a dependency in my books, but its not the same as saying "this requires DirectX" or whatever: it requires a backend, but you can give it any backend you want, so ideally wouldn't pull in anything you aren't already using.
This sounds like a cool idea, but I don’t think it’s very usable in practice.

At least not when using SSD/HDD for storage, where — in my experience — CPU time never exceeds 50% of the time spent executing a query. This means that the maximum speedup is 2x, without even accounting for the time spent performing JIT-compilation.

So we have a situation where the maximal theoretical speedup is 2x and the maximal slowdown is unbounded.

Does OpenAPI have a way for the client to whitelist fields? I see that as a major selling point for GraphQL.

As far as actual extreme reactionary content.. I don't know what the solution is. I'd put "the middle" as stop promoting them because they hit your engagement metrics, but be much more cautious about banning them, giving them martyrdom points and an incentive to organize better.

Ultimately the villain here is engagement-optimizing recommendation algos. The current situation is a small reactionary channel will be promoted for engagement, until it's big and people notice, and THEN it's banned, with a maximum of negative impact. Worst of all worlds.

The effects of that invasion are still with us as pointed out by Gregory Clark. Analysis of Norman Surnames and their predominance in elite families in Britain today, has shown that "Rich families stay rich and poor families stay poor, according to a new study that finds that English people whose ancestors were elite in the 1100s are still likely part of the upper crust today. The study echoes work in other countries that has found that social status budges little over generations, even in the face of massive social changes"

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49660525

"After being diagnosed with Alzheimer's four years before she died, the patient wrote a statement saying that she wanted to be euthanized before entering a care home - but that she wanted to decide when the time was right.

Before she was taken into care, a doctor decided that assisted suicide should be administered based on her prior statement. This was confirmed by two separate doctors independently and a date was set.

When the day came to end the woman's life, a sedative was put in her coffee and she lost consciousness.

But the woman then woke up and had to be held down by her daughter and husband while the process was finished."

I really appreciate your critical view on the project, because it makes me reflect my own stand and arguments and to see if they are correct or wrong. E.g. I just removed the "without LFS" argument because you are right, this is not a sustainable argument and I will address a few more soon to clear things up.

I learned a lot during the development of SnowFS and the open-source-community is the best place to share my experiences, that's why I put it on GitHub. At the end, I would be super happy if these insights can make it over to Git and Git-LFS.

"The 100 Most Influential Studies in Sports Medicine"
I am really sorry but I think it is almost factually incorrect to say that the article does not contain new insights. Unfortunately I also cannot parse your sentence that "does it go into more depth on individual aspects that its title might promise" in a way that rhymes with what I just read - maybe you can elaborate?

The article is about the ways scientists are attacking an intriguing scientific question with enormous societal importance. It certainly does not have the answer to the question in the title, and if you kept reading while expecting one then maybe you missed the phrase "the greatest conundrum of the pandemic" in the introduction?

Altogether your comment, and the support it gets here, make me despair a bit for the popularization of science in general. Is such a well-written report on the scientific process itself dismissed so easily? Do we really only care about the answers?

No inflation in housing costs? Health care? Education? Fine art and collector car prices?

I don't think "reasonable billion dollar interest free loans to billionaires" turns into "actual helicopter money" the moment it's given to a non-billionaire.

In my opinion, this is yet another retelling of the same Weimar Republic ghost story trying to convince you that giving poor people money will lead to hyper inflation. It's total bullshit, just like trickle-down economics. The Weimar Republic collapsed because it couldn't afford to pay its war debt to other countries, or (as some scholars believe) it was done intentionally by the Weimar government so they wouldn't have to pay it back.

One hundred years later, there are dozens of other countries that have more debt to GDP ratio, where the minimum wage is a living wage, there is a strong safety net of housing/food/healthcare, and a #3 at McDonalds is not much more expensive. If you have recently seen your wage double, it's actually cheaper.

What doesn't really get mentioned in the article, is that a lot of academic software was written by a single developer. All bigger software projects, academic or not, that were only built and maintained by a single person tends to become messier and messier with time. Perhaps most software suffers from that, that over time it becomes a mess, but having more developers look at code (and enough time, and many other factors) can certainly help to keep things in better shape.

Yeah, that one was pretty bad. I think a disclaimer is appropriate.

I get what you're saying. There are casualties in this effort to contextualize or remove the humor of previous decades. I totally agree about the Fawlty Tower episode. But I think it's easier to have simple rules than to try to evaluate these things on a case-by-case basis. Humor is subjective after all.

> Literally the only people actually being offended are - who...?

It's not really about being offended though is it? The ones being offended and actually complaining is just the tip of the iceberg.

This kind of humor can create attitudes that can be a constant pain in the side for certain groups of people. I mean, you've still got shit like this going on today : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc1GhI1Dwyc

How would you approach this problem?

> probably the vast majority

Ugh, naw, not at that time if you ask me. Most comedians are not as smart and tactful as John Cleese. He was ahead of his time in many ways.

You can still get away with quite stereotypical humor today if you frame it correctly, and I think most comedians today are more clever about it. They're not all smarter now, there's just a better culture around it.

There was a show in Norway that was pulled from streaming because an actor was using "blackface". But that comedian/actor has a thing about playing lots of different characters (men, women, older, younger, etc), and in that case he just happened to portray a vaguely middle-eastern character. There was a big counter-reaction, particularly from immigrants saying that this wasn't offensive to them. And the show was put back online, with a disclaimer. So I think it shows that there is course-correction when the humor isn't actually in bad taste.
Which stock? P&W? Airlines? Boeing?

Boeing doesn't seem to be at fault here. The particular engine is from P&W and they make engines for Airbus and others as well. I can't see how any of this should be extremely negative long term for neither boeing or P&W.
Important question:

If you receive Bitcoin which was originally received as a ransom, could you be held legally liable even if you weren't the thief? I suspect that such ransomed crypto would be forever tainted, as would anything ledgers that touched it.

Programming has and almost infinite depth to it, depending on the complexity you are tackling/modeling. In a way, it is like mathematics in the way you have layers acting as foundations/abstractions for more complex representation. Introduction to mathematics is counting discrete things, then the number line, addition, which is a foundation for/abstracted by multiplication, which is in turn a foundation for/abstracted by exponents, etc. and in no time, you're at the level of multi-variate calculus and n-dimensional hypercubes.

Each level requires notation that is concise (so it can fit in short-term memory to be actually useful) - one cannot expect graduate-level mathematics to share the same notation/symbols as beginner (elementary) maths.

Programming languages have to trade off which level they are biased towards, I do not believe in a universal language that is both easy for beginners while being concise for advanced users.

Back on topic - Go is not an easy language, it is a simple language, those 2 things are not the same.

The part that bothers me is that this discrepancy butts heads with the idea of comparative advantage. Somehow every economy which is heavy on imports has a higher overall cost level than peer economies that are not import dependent (see Hawaii). While in theory some of these import dependent economies are powered by comparative advantage (e.g. pork, and coffee growing in Hawaii) - the dominant term appears to be the imports for the average basket of products.

Is China's cost level lower because a local supply chain inherently more efficient and advantageous than an external supply chain? When does an external supply chain actually make sense? If there are some markets which are winner takes all, then is the economic theory more about "do you make it or do I?" rather than a smooth supply/demand/cost curve with comparative advantage.
As long as the list of symbols is small then yes, because the symbols are a subset of the entire character list. I imagine some implementations basex encode the bytestring first then indicate the original and basex encoding instead of sending the symbol list.
> Meanwhile present day Linux desktop is still dead.

Sure, but that's just pointing to one area where Free and Open Source software hasn't taken over the world. It's rather pessimistic to treat this as a sign of FOSS being on the decline.

> Open source maintainers abandoning projects due to lack of time and interest.

Hasn't this always been so? FOSS doesn't offer a guarantee that a package will see continual improvement forever. Unlike closed-source software, it's at least possible to fork.

> They say why not just use GPL but if you license your code using GPL you will not have users.

This might be true for a certain narrow category of server-side software. It hasn't stopped GNU/Linux from taking over the world. It also depends on your goals. The GPL isn't about maximal uptake, it's about preserving software freedom.

> Developers can’t even share the name of the software they are putting your code into because of these NDA they signed.

Unless licence terms are being broken, I don't see a problem here. FOSS licences never give the original author any special right to know how their software is being used by others. Rightly so.

I recall reading of how the FreeBSD guys figured out that Sony were using their code for the PlayStation 3, from the way there were asking technical questions. They found it rather funny, but they didn't really mind. Sony weren't breaking the BSD licence, so it was fine.

Anyone with an email address could receive a life-threatening email from some deranged adversary.

> Society, Conglomerates, and Capitalism killed free software and nobody cared. It’s all about 10x ROI and taking advantage of some poor idiot programmer clueless in business.

I'm not seeing anything to back that up.

There are some new concerns in the FOSS world such as cloud providers forking projects and making piles of money selling SaaS while the original project gets nothing. It's not good that MongoDB switched to a licence which is neither an FSF-approved Free Software licence nor an OSI-approved Open Source licence. Still though, there's nothing at the level of an existential threat.
>As someone in the tech world, I spend most of my time interacting with more "liberal" people. I don't hear about this happening with any frequency, accidentally or otherwise, to those on the left

I mean it's kind of tautological to say that you don't hear a lot about censorship of left-wing opinion if you're situated in a left-wing social environment. For a long time I worked in a very conservative community as a very left-wing person and if I had spoken my mind I could have probably packed my bags. Try having an outspoken atheist debate in a very culturally conservative community. I went to a catholic private school as a kid and if I had actually said what I thought about religion I probably would have gotten hit with a ruler or something.

Which obviously isn't to say that you're not right in principle, obviously open debate is good and all, but what you're describing isn't just occurring in 'liberal circles'. People always love to promote diversity of thought when they happen to be in a minority position.
