My objection to this view is that, a "thing" is not the same thing as the data that represents it, and what data you use to represent the thing is dependent on what you intend to do with it. I think object-oriented programmers are more prone than others to wrongly equate their model with the thing they are modelling; the paradigm almost encourages that.

I found this talk by Rich Hickey very persuasive: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Are-We-There-Yet-Rich-Hi....
I disagree with this point of view. Fundamentally, types appear all over the place in math.

If I give you a term

x * y - y * x

and ask you to simplify it, you may tell me this term is just 0, but if I had intended for x and y to represent quaternions or square matrices that'd be a very foolish thing to do!

The rulesets that apply to a term depend on the types of the elements of that term. You could bundle this information into an `Assumptions` object that carries around some rules like

commutes_under_multiplication(x) => false
commutes_under_multiplication(y) => false

but imo, leveraging types are a very natural way to carry around this particular class of metadata.
It would do an even better job if the user could easily increase coverage or depth of that stressing and check against known issues (regressions). Maybe `make kselftest` is the way to go. But it might be worth creating an easy way for people to help test the kernel, something like Debian popcon meets CPU-Z benchmarks.

>Ultimately it puts people into 2 bins which are both huge and disparate and reduce complexe multi-dimensional elements to a meaningless binary

Binary, yes. Meaningless, no. Having multi-dimensional information is better than binary information, but having binary information is better than no information (or guessing). Telling me the temperature, humidity, wind, cloud cover, and precipitation outside gives me more information than just telling me it is hot or cold outside. But knowing if it is hot or cold outside is still far better than not knowing anything. You can still make decisions and take actions based on limited information, which you could not do with no information.
ugh.. had no idea. sometimes I hate the internet
I mean come on, deaths by pollution and accidents is all you look at to declare it as safe? What about the almost existential risk and the unsolved final repository problem? (the US at least still doesn't have one). Maybe the risk is low and until now nothing serious has happened in the US, but the potential for damage is so devastating that you should factor it in somehow. It's just not as simple as one number is probably what I'm trying to say ...
The businesses will just pass the cost on and be fine.

The guy who uses the $100 Home Depot weed whacker to do his own lawn is the one who gets screwed because he now either has to wrangle a cord everywhere or spend much more for equivalent performance from an electric.

(on second thought string trimmers are low enough power that a cheap battery one should work for a homeowner but for blowers, chainsaws and most other landscaping power equipment my point still stands, you gotta spend big bucks on the 36-48v stuff that performs about the same as the ICE powered $99.99 special)
Sigh - modern day phrenology, but wrapped in AI. Just what we need :p
You're probably right, sadly. I think there's a great deal of merit to this idea. To but to actually take on the companies and start messing with things like AdSense revenue meaningfully, probably millions or millions of us would have to do this consistently. And if it had that level of broad social support and motivation, perhaps we should channel the energy into legal regulation of the industry.
That depends a bit. Differences can complement each other.

Some people might be better at some things, while others are better at other things. (thus combining strengths)

Some people might actually be really bad at some other things yet again, while others could happen to be very good at them (thus covering each others weaknesses)

When you have people with different backgrounds and training all working together you can do things together that you wouldn't otherwise be able to do separately.
Yep, these papers don't usually pass the sniff test. My bet is you can predict the phone brand from the camera grain and that correlates with geography & income.

Is Julia better for these use-cases? I'd interested and would love some links/examples.
Huge fan of this. Gas-powered blowers are responsible for a disturbingly large portion of US air pollutants. Something like 10% of all CO, 5% of VOCs come from gas-powered lawn equipment, and they produce >30%* of the non-car pollutants.

Traditional American lawn maintenance is a horribly unsustainable (and in my opinion, ugly) practice. We should encourage alternatives.

Amazing. Working from home in Menlo Park was infuriating for this reason
Small a, fine, it's a positive little adjective. Big A, run for the hills.
> I do have a problem if they ban the older editions.

I don't see how they are "banned". Banning means "forbidden, disallowed, illegal". The older editions do not fall under any of the definitions. They are harder to get, because the author stopped selling them. You can still find them somewhere, and if you already have them you can keep them, they are just less convenient to acquire than they used to be.
It would be great if larger cities setup some kind of trade-in program where one can give up their gas powered tools for vouchers, etc. that they can use to buy replacement electric ones.
>Woke crazies try to impose their ideology on others by complaining and shaming on the Internet.

>I get worried when people promote the idea that compelling others speech is pro free speech. It's the modern newspeak.

That is essentially what the woke crazies do all the time by getting people fired and other economic consequences if they don't fall in line.

Conversely, I think other people are criticizing the decision of the company, and the company culture that lead to the decision. That's different than compelling speech or considering using the gov't to compel speech.

On the other hand, it seems sad that UK (as well as continental Europe for that matter) software industry wages seem to pale in comparison to wages in the US. I'm not really sure why that would be, even after accounting for things like healthcare and other social services. A bummer for American software professionals who are interested in moving abroad.

Santa Cruz Bicycles |Digital Product Manager (Sr) | Salt Lake City, UT | Santacruzbicycles.com

I'm the Director of Technology at Santa Cruz Bicycles and I'm looking to bring on a Senior Digital Product Manager or Digital Product Manager. This role will be responsible for shepherding all things digital from idea to delivery. You'll have a dedicated team of content specialists reporting directly to you to get things done, and you'll be working with a creative developers to realize the roadmap. We'll work closely on digital strategy and defining the future of the digital customer experience at Santa Cruz, Cervelo, Juliana, and Reserve Wheels

The immediate project you'd be working on is a complete redesign and replatform of santacruzbicycles.com. We're two months into the project and its looking amazing. You'll also be responsible for making sure the digital experience for new product launches lives up to the quality of our bikes and achieves marketing goals.

We've got big ambitions, an incredible portfolio of brands, and a great team. My email is in my profile, happy to answer questions.

> None of these configurations are stable, so is it even accurate to call them "particles"?

Not really, not when they're this unstable. Traditionally hadrons that decay very quickly are called "resonances" instead.

The dividing line between a particle and a resonance is usually whether you quote its lifetime in seconds or MeV :) The two are directly related through the uncertainty relation, specifically the one coming from the energy-time commutator.
> I'll also add a caveat that toolage for Jetson boards is extremely incomplete.

A hundred times this. I was about to write another rant here but I already did that[0] a while ago, so I'll save my breath this time. :)

Another fun fact regarding toolage: Today I discovered that many USB cameras work poorly on Jetsons (at least when using OpenCV), probably due to different drivers and/or the fact that OpenCV doesn't support ARM64 as well as it does x86_64. :(

> They supply you with a bunch of sorely outdated models for TensorRT like Inceptionv3 and SSD-MobileNetv2 and VGG-16.

They supply you with such models? That's news to me. AFAIK converting something like SSD-MobileNetv2 from TensorFlow to TensorRT still requires substantial manual work and magic, as this code[1] attests to. There are countless (countless!) posts on the Nvidia forums by people complaining that they're not able to convert their models.

> For the revisions, I don't think it would work right now the way you want. I have thought about something similar before but couldn't figure out a satisfying way to do it (or even whether it was common enough for the work to be worth it).

Well, if you like the feature, go for it! It's your project. :)

Seriously said though -- I think this has a lot of future in terms of f.ex. tech docs or Wiki-like articles where you would want to revise your opinion / take on a hot topic a year later. Such a feature is a glaring omission from the SSG engines IMO.

I'd love to help but sadly I am wrestling with severely deteriorated health and just being productive at work and functional enough for my family life is draining 90% of my daily energy budget. So I'd lie if I said that I could help right now. So I prefer not to lie.

(I'll definitely check out the thread for i18n, thanks for linking it!)

> The only thing I mind is people getting angry if I close a feature request as too niche or out of scope for Zola.

That won't ever happen with me. I don't get angry. I realize what it is to be an OSS maintainer and I am not entitled. I'll shoot my idea and if it doesn't get accepted I'll just shrug it off.

Thank you for the encouraging words! They mean a lot. Keep up the good work. Zola is so far my favorite SSG engine, it's just that I can't muster the energy to learn it well and maybe help extend it. Here's hoping for the future.

Masterplanet is Bjarke Ingels' plan to redesign Earth and stop climate change
Yes, true. But this points at the annoying thing about how the agile cult attempts to take over credit for the good engineering practices that all existed before agile became a thing. All agile adds on top is the annoying parts (relentless status meetings, treating developers as faceless interchangeable "resources") that make life worse than it was before.
Landscaping companies will be running gas powered generators to charge their batteries...
Have you used one? I have a 20v and 60v dewalt blower. The 20volt blows, but it's not very strong. It works blowing out the garage and with minor clippings on the sidewalk / driveway that's about it. The 60v works better, substantially more power and it moves leaves. Both have horrible battery life when all is said and done. We're talking 20 minutes or so with 9AH batteries, and in the case of the 60v I get about 30 minutes on a 12ah FlexVolt.

Then theres the whole buying batteries, longevity of batteries, the power to charge etc. I would bet that the damage to the ecosystem from using gas blowers / trimmers isn't that big a difference and if equated in measurement of power and life, the gas far outperforms it.

Also, the Electrics are just as loud in most instances. Are they going to ban gas pressure washers next?
If you reframe "speed of light" as "speed of the propagation of information" the traveling faster than light means information about an event can be received before the event happens from the perspective of the observer. Remember we know it to be true that there is no universal authoritative "now" all observers will see things happening at different times and none of them are wrong or seeing an illusion in that.

Why this is effectively time travel is harder to explain without getting into relativity and I'm not going to try right now. The main thing to get though is that you just can't observe events before they happen. It violates causality and if you allow for that (like you totally can with math) then nothing makes any sense and you can't use that math to describe how we know the world to work in any useful way.
As it turns out, these are real sites that got scraped. http://www.dpgraph.com/index.html works, and it looks like the software is free to download now. I’m too much of a chicken to try though...

I agree that AMD on mobile is a wasteland. But AMD has shipped over 500m desktop GPUs in the last 10 years. Surely some of those could/would have been better used for GPGPU dev if there was a decent developer experience.
I'd say based on the number of friends I have who use old or cheap Android phones with terrible latency, it really was the touch screen and UI/UX that played the main role.

Sure, for many, iPhones are still preferred because of the low latency, so it matters, but I suspect the iPhone would've done just as well if the latency was bad. The competition was about finger vs keys/pencil, not latency.
AdGuard scanned the entire web in search of hidden trackers
Ask HN: Are there good materials for stateless microservice patterns?
I work on a greenfield program in a large org and there seems to be limited experience working with microservices. Many of our services are soft realtime and use internal timers. I've tried to educate others on various strategies and how you can follow different patterns for different situations depending on concerns like latency, desired reliability, complexity, etc. Unfortunately, I am not communicating clearly enough or the topic is way too complex. Subjects have been raft, paxos, schedulers, pub/sub, in memory caches, etc.

Does anybody know of any materials that can help other devs understand these concerns on a practical level? The only other thing I can think to do is mandate certain kinds of testing so they can learn through failure. Will probably do that anyway.
One of my all time favorite games, because as a ~10 year old I can think of nothing cooler than playing Luke Skywalker in a sci-fi top-gun movie about saving earth from murderous Cat Aliens. :)

This is a feature that has been requested, but isn't implemented yet. Suggest you give it a thumbs up on github as they implement things in order of highest number of thumbs.
I’m not opposed to this. They are noisy. They often come early on weekends!

But that said, I hope they compensate current owners with vouchers or grant some trade in value and not outright ban them without compensation. That would be wholly unfair to current owners.
Julia solves this by using interfaces (functions defined over one or more custom types that abstract over concrete information).

Just overload those on your type, and voila it works with the CAS.
This is from 2016. Has anything further insight been gleaned from this interesting property?

These are not particularly relevant or helpful comparisons for knowing whether lithium ion is ready to deploy now (it is), or whether storage will be achievable with lithium ion and other chemistries (it will).

This is only looking at currently known reserves, a number which has doubled in only a few years. It also compares it to total energy consumption, a meaningless comparison for the coming decades.

Further, the same industrial capacity for lithium ion batteries also works for sodium chemistries. We have only focused on lithium because the primary applications are in mobile things at the moment: cars and mobile devices, where the weight advantage of lithium is important.

For grid storage, weight and specific energy are not important, and sodium chemistries will be ideal. There are also entire classes of flow chemistries that are in their infancy.

But what is mature and cost effective is lithium ion storage. The only place where we have open data about the feelings of investors, the PJM and ERCOT interconnection queues, storage is being deployed in GW comparable to new natural gas GW. This number alone, the GW and not the GWh, tells us that investors think this new tech is ready and deplorable. And it is falling in cost exponentially. Other battery tech is following and dropping in cost too, but lithium ion is benefitting from having existing markets that can fund massive learning.
Yes, this. The people most harmed by these leaf blowers are the people using them. Arguments that "electric ones don't work as well" rather miss this point.
For sure. I was just stating why echo chambers are bad. In the context of a dating app, I think dating right now suffers from a totally diffent and unrelated effect where the pool of potential partners has become so big that people have unrealistic expectations in what they want in a partner. So in that context I actually think anything that narrows the list of potential partners is a good thing.

But still, it's yet another facet of our lives where we deal with disagreements by putting them out of sight rather than communicating and understanding.

Native Linux games break too, especially older ones. I have had to switch to Proton for several games I used to run native because their native version has stopped working after some library change.

At this point I have more faith that a game with solid Proton/Wine support will work on the long term than a native one.

There are many exceptions in both directions of course, this is just my personal experience with the games I happen to be playing.

It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if Proton/Wine became the standard supported runtime for games.
Games lasted longer twenty years ago. It was easier to immerse in the game for this reason. Nowadays, blockbuster action games give you twenty hours of gameplay give or take. Even RPG games are shorter these days. Baldur's Gate took me weeks to finish. I can't remember the last time I played a contemporary game that lasted that long.

I honestly don't see the danger here. This is an incremental addition to an already very large body of research that's existed for a while.

And racism isn't rational. You can't combat racism by suppressing research. If a study came out demonstrating that Alpha Race is smarter than Beta Race, and that Beta Races is smarter than Gamma Race. The racist Betas might use that study to justify their hate for Gammas, but they'd find an entire different reason to hate Alphas.
