Every time I enter the crypto twittersphere, I'm more convinced it's all just a huge cult. Half zealots and true believers and half trolls. Much like QAnon. "You don't understand it's the future!" No, no I'm quite capable of understanding. The internet brought a lot of like-minded people together under a shared mass delusion.

> We're in the midst of launching a multi-year, billion dollar program to replace that mainframe. We've been talking about doing this for years and are just now pulling the trigger on it. There's still time to tell whether we actually go through with it or not, or get $100 million into the project and realize we're looking at a $1.5 billion - $2 billion effort and abandon the project.

I work at a company that basically built its current business on mainframes in the 70s/80s/90s. The migration effort to get off them has been going on for more than 20 years and still isn't done yet.

> you still need to buy the rights to the land where you mount them.

And you need to store the power somewhere for nights and cloudy days. Energy storage ain't cheap, or even feasible enough for an all-solar-and-wind power system. I don't know why solar advocates continuously ignore this point.
>> Would it be possible for a satellite to be launched into a direction in space that for all intensive purpose make it look like it is coming from somewhere else further away?

Anything is possible but it would be very hard. You would have to fake the doppler shifts. With massive scrutiny you might even have to fake some absorption lines. Then, if the signal was longer than a few days/weeks, you would need to place the emitter far enough away that parallax, relative motion against the stellar background, was undetectable. That distance is probably measured in light-years.
Not only that, but the LTSpice solution was incorrect, and the Julia solution was correct.
Fantastical is, what, $3 a month and has a much better value proposition. You’re effectively outpricing yourselves with $10 a month when there are tools that do the exactly same with a single purchase or even for free.
It's also easier to get a good mic and webcam if you're not constrained by the thickness of a laptop screen. A lot of people would benefit from better lighting as well although some of that can be a function of their physical environment which can be hard to do something about.
So, at 1000x the current fastest speed, how close does simulation get to the speed of real circuits?
speaker frequency response simulations will sometimes use an equivalent electronic circuit. it could help design better speakers. any time you interface digital circuitry with the real world, hybrid circuitry is used. also, with this increased processing capacity, you could be looking at simulating the parasitic properties of components, not just ideal versions of them.
In C, long is not the name of a data type, it is a modifier. It turns out that C standard type is integer, so if you say long without another data type (such as double, for example), this means long int.

I think it's worth pointing out that Facebook isn't the only platform, though I don't think every article needs to cover all social media equally. This article does a deeper dive on one particular company's issues (and the company that's widely acknowledged to have known about the issue the longest, and done the least to fix it).

There are other articles that tackle this topic for YouTube [1]. But as far as I know, we're still waiting on any expose that shows that YouTube had done extensive research into the issue and opted to do nothing to continue growth. That dubious honor seems to be reserved for Facebook at least for now.

How hard is it, really, to learn? Big Tech is constantly hiring people to work in technologies they don't know yet. We were all in on Go before anybody off the street knew it. Facebook has its own language. I'm sure businesses would prefer instant productivity, but is the training expense really bigger than the migration expense?
There was a simulator called HSIM that I used 20 years ago to do what you describe. It had a C api that I integrated with. It was more of a fast Spice rather than equivalent to HSPICE or Spectre. I coupled it with a little mini-language I wrote to do easily scriptable regression tests for our system. I believe Synopsys bought the company.
A long long long time ago, I wrote this (currently very unmaintained, and I have no interest in maintaining) julia project, don't know if this is useful to you, but it's pretty clear that there is a LOT of potential for julia in this domain, though if I'm not mistaken, the HDL-stuff is one level above what you're doing in your project -- it would be nice if these sorts of things could be composable: https://github.com/interplanetary-robot/Verilog.jl
> BUT - the problem is the core of our system is written in COBOL.

This is the key issue. You can migrate it off the mainframe or you can migrate it to sexier tech on the mainframe.

> and the new generation doesn't know them or have much of a desire to learn them.

One of the barriers is that these companies are not willing to pay the same money we (I think we are from the same generation - I was paid to write Apple II software) can get from working with anything that's not COBOL.

I'd love to spend some time with mainframes - they are the fastest Linux machines you can get - but don't want it enough to combine COBOL and JCL with a significant pay cut.
I think you misunderstood my comment. My primary point is that what you wrote about nuclear re: developed vs. undeveloped nations is not supported by the article you linked, as the article makes no such distinction:

> The interesting thing is that nuclear power is at 90, and Windmills at 150, but only if accidents in undeveloped nations be included, if they not be, and only developed nations are included, then the death toll is 0.1 from nuclear.

The distinction seen in the article between the 90 and 0.1 numbers is global average vs. U.S. death avg. You cited those numbers and re-labeled them as "undeveloped" (for the global avg including Fukushima and Chernobyl) and "developed" (for US).

You cannot directly map "US" data to all developed nations, as this mapping does not include all non-US developed countries which should be included. Nor can you directly map "global avg" data to all undeveloped nations, as this mapping will include developed countries which should not be included.
No, because their abundant use of nuclear power, including fast breeders, has not contributed to nuclear proliferation.

It's not "free" in the sense that there's a download button for it. 99.9% of the people wouldn't be readily able to build the app from source.

I got an external cooling pad for my MacBook Pro and that helped a lot. I actually got the overpowered "gaming" cooler since I don't plan on taking it anywhere with me. It just sits on my desk.

One other tip for the MacBook Pro: If you haven't opened the case and blown out the dust elephants in the last year, you might want to do that. The fans and fins tend to get really crusted up and it makes a big difference.

I'm one of the main developers of BioJulia. I believe our main issue is lack of developer manpower, and not necessarily lack of funds.

Of course, if we got enough money to actually employ a developer, that would be amazing. It's just not very realistic. Furthermore, having BioJulia be developed by working scientists has its advantages.

If you, or anyone else, is interested in BioJulia, do think about making a contribution to your favorite package, it would be very welcome. Developing in Julia is extremely satisfying, as you get so much bang for your buck, while still being able to create highly efficient code.
It can be challenging. I basically bought my house based on figuring that out for people in the old days.

If you search for "Chicken Parmesan Recipe", what you get is the website optimized for appearing at the top of the search result list for "Chicken Parmesan Recipe". You don't get the best website, you don't get the best recipe, you don't even get something with unique content. The only way copyright helps is it allows you to send nastygrams to Google in your fight to remain on top. Doesn't seem to me to be all that important compared to the SEO and ad-based monetization to afford to work on SEO. You'd probably get the same kind of sites and the exact same recipes in search results if copyright wasn't a thing. Only difference is that the fluff would be copied outright and the copy-and-SEO-optimize site might place above the "original" source.
I have no problem at all with the award, company, or its employees and founders - just the accuracy of the headline.
That is an interesting optimization trick, essentially a brute force search over a parameter space in order to minimize silicon area, I am assuming this was for cells that were going to be replicated many times on the same die?
This is a bit hyperbolic.

A more apt analogy would be an enterprise blocking, for example, the Tor protocol on the laptop which was given to you to do graphic design. The laptops are given to students for school-related activities, and evidently learning the developer console of Chrome is not a school-related activity.

We're on the same page when it comes to the fact that students should have ample access to learn programming and other CS fields. The fact is that it is not currently in the curriculum, and no one is entitled to use the organizations laptop for things the organization says it doesn't want. This isn't even touching the aspect of liability the school's face for the actions taken on/with their property.

The fight should be to change the curriculum, not to get mad at the IT guy who is enforcing the administrations rules about using the organizations property for unrelated activities.

> But how would a theoretical graviton explain this effect?

there would be more gravitons if the field is stronger. No gravitons in the empty space.

Gravitons are quantas of the always attractive forces. So traveling in the gravitation field, photon constantly absorbs and emits gravitons, more gravitons - more interactions, thus "bending" photon trajectory in the presence of the gravitation.

If you a bit math inclined, you could look at Feynman's lectures on gravitation (Caltech, fall semester of 1962).

They are quite outdated, a lot of mistakes - he was building it as he is preparing lectures, but approach itself is very interesting

He starts with MICROSCOPIC description - lets introduce gravitons, we want bosons which always attract, so no spin 1, only spin 0 or 2. Dropped spin 0 (don't remember why) and start building interaction diagrams form spin 2 bosons like in any standard quantum field theory.

Discussed exactly the topic of "trajectory bending", got to quasi-classic limit and showed that this is Einstein field eqs, got to weak field limit and Newton, ...

And all this (even his mistakes) in beautiful style and logic.
That's begging the question. Advertising and tracking are not the sole business models of the web nor the ones I have any impulse to protect or cater to.

This is a really good insight. There are some architecture decisions you really need to anticipate because if you don't, it will really be a pain in the ass to refactor.

I'm most familiar with Go, and there I've gotten very used to the idea that my functions will probably need an error return, so e.g. I write my main func to call into a run(...) error func first thing. I've had to go back and replumb things with context, and it's no fun. Similar strategies apply in JavaScript, where you just know that any kind of button press will probably need to be a Promise because it might have to wait on a network call or whatever. It's a pervasive problem.

I’d be surprised if even most people agree with you that the best computer is a static one tethered to a desk, even if they never leave their home. Gamers aside.

I built a desktop computer and never use it. Having to sit in the same desk just to use it is a nearly insurmountable drawback. It’s more of a niche appliance than we admit.

I’d suspect most people with the option would need more than a better deal on components to make it worthwhile to be stuck in the same chair in the same room in the same position every day. I just look around at everyone I know and everyone prefers a laptop, even the homebodies.

Except if you could really approach lightspeed the distances would approach zero, so there’s that.
The only way your example would be equivalent is if the school was offering a class on programming, but then blocked access to the development tools required to complete the class.

You seem to be doing a bit of hand-waving at the end there trying to equate the school’s purpose with the entire idea of education and learning. That’s something that takes place on all of life, not just in school.

Well, you can certainly think of "long" and "short" as adjectives, but the grammar doesn't treat them that way.

"long", "short", "signed", "unsigned", "int", "float", and "double" are all type specifiers. The language specification includes an exhaustive list of the valid combinations of type specifiers, including which ones refer to the same type. The specifiers can legally appear in an order. For example, "short", "signed short", and "int short signed", among others, all refer to the same type. (They're referred to as "multisets" because "long" and "long long" are distinct.)
