Why Electronic Health Records Haven't Helped U.S. with Vaccinations
The Rust vs Zig discussions seems to echo the dichotomy between the declarative and imperative languages, but at the type level. In Rust (as is common in other static languages) you define the types declaratively, while Zig takes the poorly explored route of defining the types imperatively. The declarative way usually is more understandable, cohesive, composable and tool friendly, but not so flexible and understandable-in-the-small as the imperative one.

We did many similar things here, though when the outside temps are 0º to -5º C, it's a lot less appealing to eat and socialize outside, so the government prohibition or limitations on indoor dining have still caused a sharp reduction in percentage of calories purchased this way. (I'm not arguing that they are improper, just that they have caused a sharp change in consumption patterns which have, in turn, benefited grocers.)
That's amazing. Australia's farm labor is primarily relatively-wealthy vacationers who need a boost while they are far from home?
The problem in general with this approach is that the amount of bits it takes to identify the correct decoded value exceeds the amount of bits it takes to simply write down the correct encoded value.

People have been proposing similar algorithms for the last few decades. It's really become the "Free energy is being suppressed by the man!" of compression algorithms. One of the more popular is "just identify where your value is in pi!", which fails for that reason.

One problem is that in order to analyze such algorithms you really need to count your bits carefully. For instance in the pi case people sometimes think "well, I just need two numbers, the distance into pi and the length", but those "two numbers" may need arbitrarily unbounded numbers of bits to represent.

GoL has its own problem which is that if you construct a "random" state that didn't start "naturally" the odds of it being a Garden of Eden state are essentially 1. Can you even call it an "image compression" tool when it can't represent an image of any pure color at all, let alone in a compressed format?
In my opinion it's a perceived increase in prices, which may or may not real, and may or may not have to do with inflation.

This was just for one department (eng) but it applied to the entire department, all the way up to leadership. This was at a smallish startup (~25 developers), I could definitely see how this might be harder to maintain at a bigger company when you get into very senior leadership.

Obviously in practice the more senior you were, the more influence you had over what the bands were, so in that sense I suppose the very top had some degree of negotiating power, but it was all still opaque and public, and the entire department knew what everyone in the department was making.
>(no, slow langs won't cut it, if you want tight loops you need low-level control such as cache-coherent memory layouts, vectorized instructions, &c).

Yawn. You can have all those wrapped under a high level API, with much nicer implementations, with more support, more documentation, more eyeballs (due to more adoption) in a "slow" language.

You can even have them run faster than Julia's and in more stable and mature implementations (like there's LAPACK).
> Just earlier this month, Google rang the death notice on Stadia

I keep seeing this, and it isn't true. (Not yet at least.)

Google shut down its game studios (which never released anything anyway), but is continuing to support 3rd party developers releasing their games on Stadia.
me too. IP issues - founders stealing engineers ideas, scanning their email for IP but not naming them as inventors in the patent filings.
As far as your multiplication trick, I could argue that it depends on what argument you're trying to present. If for example, you wanted to minimize the perceived death rate from a deadly virus, you might say that less than 0.2% percent of the population died as a result. You could also with equal validity say that more than 1 in 1,000 have died. I think it's clear how those two presentations of the same statistic could leave a very different impression if you don't put a lot of thought into the numbers.
How to Avoid Filler Words in Pitch Decks
This article starts off with the following premise: “one of Julia’s original promises was to take over other languages in terms of popularity” (paraphrased).

Honestly, I cannot find such promise in the original announcement: https://julialang.org/blog/2012/02/why-we-created-julia/

Ex falso quodlibet
Yup. So there is undoubtedly some bias / ulterior motives in here.
One of the other drawbacks besides performance that I have seen in terms of "making code testable" is that it often hurts traceability. If I am jumping into an unfamiliar codebase, the best case is that I can right click on any method invocation, "go to declaration" and see what code is being executed. Often times in codebases which make heavy use of dependency injection, "go to declaration" takes me instead to some kind of interface declaration, and then I have to figure out which code is actually being executed at runtime.

I feel like this is a very real cost, and is often not accounted for in terms of the tradeoffs discussed in TDD.
> relatively most peaceful, humane, self-effacing hegemon that has ever been known the planet

The US murdered massive amounts of people in East Asia and the Middle East during that time period. Napalm, Agent Orange, war crimes... We were as bad as any hegemony. Much worse actually, due to technical superiority. We also have the largest prison population of any country (per capita and in total) due to the "war" on drugs.

So yes, I'd say we're near the bottom of the list. Especially if you go back past the 20th century (slavery, genocide).

> in India, thanks to UPI you can pay anybody if you know their phone number

Not true. You need the UPI ID of the person, which may probably be phone@bank or phone@paymentsbank. If you assume that everyone is using only Google Pay (or Paytm or PhonePe or Amazon Pay or pick another provider), then those providers would know the UPI ID to connect people to for payments. For people who don’t use these payment services but do have a bank account (say, HDFC or SBI or ICICI), there’s no way you could pay them only by knowing their phone numbers without knowing the bank they have the account with and the bank suffix they use for the UPI ID.
I find it extremely strange to be "proud of your country" since you likely didn't choose your country and didn't make it what it is. It's like being proud of your football team winning even though you did nothing but watch it on the telly. I guess it might be because I live in a completely different culture (Scandinavia) because to me, no matter how much anyone tries to change my mind, I cannot see any difference between American patriotism and standard nationalism. I know the words are not supposed to have the same meaning but watching patriots(?) chant "USA! USA! USA!" at happenings like a rocket launch I fail to see it. I get a bad feeling in my stomach, like I get when seeing something real bad happening, like when the twin towers fell on 9/11 or looking at cops killing a black person, both not only awful but clear harbingers of bad things in the future. I have tried discussing this with other people but locally they just repeat the same feeling and Americans tend to react like when someone start a discussion of gun control. I guess I'm saying it is rather creepy to me.

Edited because you have to be real careful how you talk about this or it will devolve quickly.
Lebanon is in an awful state. they seem to be little more than a satellite of Iran via Hezbollah. I haven't heard anything about them since that terrible explosion in Beirut. i hope they get sorted out soon.

Julia is a compiled language, like C. Using it in this way is basically like writing a shell script in C and calling GCC on every invocation. You can't expect good performance from that, and it's really a testament to Julia that it feels so dynamic that you feel as it it should do that.

If you AOT-compiled your Julia "script" (program) to a binary and invoked that, your startup time problems would go away. Julia's "application deployment" stack is underdeveloped compared to its REPL experience, but it's still possible to do this today with PackageCompiler.jl and will only get easier with time. I think that will prove to be the "right" way to solve this problem in the long run.

(Or, if you don't care about performance, you can just turn off the compiler and interpret everything, and you basically have Python-but-in-Julia. Fast startup, slow running. Just run it with julia --compile=no)

CPI is a joke, they do something called hedonic adjustments to things like tech products etc. It's completely subjective and BS. Technology is deflationary, things should get cheaper because we go after producing them in creative ways one demand is high.

>So, when is pointing out a new coworker’s skin color actually okay?

Let's start with the fact that this article is presenting one side of the story. We don't know if this person is truthful. We don't know if this person is hyperbolic, or if they left out some key details or played certain facts and suppressed others, or just misconstrued the comment. We just don't know what the situation actually is. So the first question back to you is, why are you engaging in this creative writing exercise? It's abundantly clear that you don't know happened there because at best, you have a one sentence summary of the situation (actually a half of sentence, literally: "when a colleague told them that their skin was much darker than she expected"). But let's set that aside.

The framing of your question is also absolutely ridiculous. Are you really trying to claim that you have traversed the near-infinite space of potential interactions and deemed them all 'NOT OK'? All of them? What if this comment was in context of a sun-tan because you, your new coworker and other people were talking about about their sun-tans and your new coworker pointed out they tan really quickly (or not at all)? Is that too silly? What if your new coworker was the one who brought up their skin tone and you politely agreed with them? Too contrived? Don't like this creative writing exercise? How is that different from what you're doing ... except you're not only taking the absolute worst and most ugly interpretation of a half-a-sentence reference from this article, but also categorically stating that there is no context under which it would be 'OK' for two co-workers to reference skin color. Insanity.
Both Clinton and Obama inherited a recession from their Republican predecessors, and were punished for the unforgivable sin of responding appropriately.
I think claims of Julia's death are premature. I used it all throughout grad school shortly after it was released, and there are things the language does so much better than any other language I know of that I find it hard to imagine it just disappearing into the ether. The only way I can think of it really dying off is if more popular languages absorb the best features of Julia, making it redundant.

It's hard to make inroads into Python's domain because of the strong networks effects, but I think if one or two major companies onboard the language, then we might see a snowball effect.

Personally, I'd like to see a version of Julia with all static typing and Rust-like memory management. That would be pretty close to the perfect language for me.

The fact that they have up on their first party studio means the clock has been started on a shutdown. If Google sends the signal that their first party Stadia studio is a lost cause, what signal does that send to the third party developers?

Google didn't have the patience for their own studio to bear fruit, so it doesn't bode well for them to have patience with the platform, much less invest in it.

They are good at camouflaging inequality and other things. The lower classes get enough to get by, so it isn't obvious. The rich don't brag, wear cheap suits and look like regular people.

But the old-money royalty is obvious, and probably just very good at hiding corruption.

Agreed, fine if enough of the core developers are around, but if the company merged, the app needed to be extended or altered significantly, or some of the underlying technology stack is deprecated/becomes unsupported keeping things working will be very expensive.
There shouldn't be a target. I don't want my money to be inflated artificially by the government.
> people aren't served the same food

The contamination is unlikely to come from raw food itself, chefs at restaurants are buying from the same retail channels as the rest of the people.

The source of contamination can be improper storage or handling, kitchen equipment, dishes and cutlery, people doing all the above. All these things are reused in restaurants.

> twice as likely to be diagnosed with chlamydia

See the table on page 347. For chlamydia, "period prevalence" figure is 10.1% for sex workers, 8.5% for other female attendees. That's 20% difference, not twice as likely.

Compensating for demographics factors is hard. You can surely compensate for the factor "young", can probably compensate for the factor "single", but how would you compensate for the factor "promiscuous", i.e. likely to go out and have casual sex? Because that's the demographic group people gonna sleep with, instead of sex workers.

I would also add their subscription business with YouTube Premium, YouTube TV, Google Drive ( using Photos storage and exclusive features ) is just warming up. Over the past year I've seen more people pony up for YouTube Premium and once you go ad-free you don't go back.
