To me that seems like the difference I guess, the mob will always be there but it is individual writers rather than the chaotic mess of people and algo-amplified-words you are bombarded with on other platforms.

For example if you follow infosec twitter it's quite common to end up with a large amount of American political content whether you want it or not. Things like that don't really seem like a problem for substack where most have a single focus.

Not to say that a writer can't go rouge, turning from pacifist to war-monger overnight and angering a bunch of readers, but the fallout from that seems quite limited, it's far less the platform in such a case.

I've watched a few of my favourite journalists jump ship from big news companies with varying success, it's certainly not easy going full independent with your own site, even if you have a few decades of loyal readers behind you. Substack always comes across as a nice middle ground of independence with discoverability for professional writers along with less friction for readers.

As I recall, there was quite a bruhaha about Windows calculator solving 2 x 2 as 3.9999999945 or something like that. Pretty sure this rational number library was added in response to bad press.

In the event it's done before pushing, it's still lying, albeit to yourself—it is falsifying the record of what actually happened. The clearest way of conveying this is with the word "lying." Perhaps "falsifying" or even "manipulating" would also appropriately convey this fact. And conveying facts accurately is arguing in good faith. Not to mention it is not only ever done while contained to the local checkout, in which case it is not just lying to yourself. Being triggered over trivialities is one thing, but to be triggered over a factual representation of the feature that comports with Git's own notion is something else. Try not to let it keep you from trying something that may productively fit your workflow—it could make life simpler. And it appears that you're attaching the value judgement—no-one is accusing people of being malicious. Instead, we are truthfully reporting what has happened; when you rebase, you are presenting events not as they historically occurred—but how you would prefer it had occurred. Nonetheless, Fossil enables curating the presentation of that history however you, or I, or Thomas or Jane would like; while keeping a true and unfalsified historical record. It's the best of both worlds—you're not forced to recount your mess and mistakes every time you look at the log. But for auditing purposes, the real timeline is still intact.
/var gets its own disk on my machine! Yay academic machine learning docker containers. What's a few 30GB docker images between friends? So yeah /var gets to live with training data on SSD which gets cold swapped onto spinny platters as needed. /home is another, on the "main sdd".

I'm a daily Julia user but tbh I've gotta agree with parent commenter. I think Jeff's attitude in the "What's bad about Julia" talk is the right way to handle criticism: listen to the person, ask about their use cases, understand how Julia could be improved for that user. Accepting criticism makes a good product, and seeing project leaders do it makes a good impression.
you are thinking 1.0 scale. you need to start thinking starlink scale enterprising. quantity not quality. one rocket would rip the ship into pieces. what's actually needed is a long 2d matrix of rockets, distributed broadly the across EVER GIVEN, pushing the bow in, the stern out & back. out like she came.

In the words of Kelly Clarkson, "Just walk away".

A job can possibly last for a hundred years. Do you want to spend a hundred years on the same thing? CAN you spend a hundred years on the same thing?

Your jobs only last as long as you want to stay. It's not your business (usually) so it matters not to you whether that project ever finishes. If it does matter to you, then you have taken possession of it to your own detriment. That's akin to working for free. But that's your choice if you wish to devalue your worth.

(Devalue?? If you're working for 60 hours and being paid for 40, you value your time at 2/3 what it should be. Similarly, if you take possession of the job/project and are not being paid for your emotional input, you're devaluing your emotional worth.)

If that's still not getting the message across, think of a house that you own. Many people consider a house emotionally: "That's my 'home'. I can't leave it." Others of us consider a house as 'just a pile of bricks' which has mere monetary worth, and can be discarded without a moment's notice.

> where's the code that messes with this data

That just sounds like a code organization problem not an argument in favour of OOP.

> but also not the case in most OO languages

The fact that a lot of "OO" languages don't enforce this doesn't change the fact that the general sentiment around object oriented programming as I see it taught and as I see new programmers approach it is that "everything has to be an object."

The problem with OOP is not just OOP languages but also OOP programmers who you have to deal with on a regular basis and have to explain that "this could just be a function, why do I need to instantiate a class to do this basic task?"

> Huh? This one is made up.

Once again, this doesn't matter in light of how people ACTUALLY write code in those languages and what actually is the status quo.

> this is a feature not a bug

Not sure I know enough about javascript to understand what you mean here.

Hiding state inside things is fine when it's done correctly, more often than not in reality when people write object oriented code it is done poorly. I certainly haven't had the same troubles understanding what happens to state when reading someone else's pure functional code vs when I've had to read someone else's object oriented code.

>others had noted a workable "compassionate system": more housing, plus supportive services. no coercion necessary.

I didn't see the commenter you replied to dismiss these options. They just expressed frustration that a working version of this solution seems to be far off, and that in the mean time, the issue at hand can't simply be ignored in day-to-day life.

> about handling unexpected situations, the control aspect is about how you respond (e.g., quelling fear so you can think more quickly and nimbly), not how you directly control others.

This can be a helpful coping mechanism on an individual basis. But this seems like a poor solution to the overall problem. Is the government going to spend billions on sending women to improv and self defense courses? That doesn't seem possible.

I think this advice also falls into the same realm as the advice to "dress more modestly." It's putting the responsibility for action on the women getting assaulted. In my opinion, the problem doesn't lie with women lacking "mental agility." It's with the severely mentally ill men assaulting these women.

>i sympathize with your anecdotes, but is this a problem you only face with homeless men?

Unfortunately not. However, the rate of harassment and aggression I've experienced from homeless men is far higher than the average man. This is backed by statistics on the rate of violent crime and sexual assault among the homeless.

Of course, there are plenty of violent, aggressive men who aren't homeless. But these people aren't generally living in large camps at my local park and intimidating me from using public property.

> tangentially, homeless folks are at much higher risk of assault than non-homeless folks.

This is absolutely right. The rate of sexual assault against homeless women is simply heart-wrenching.

But I think the critical piece of information here is that most of these assaults are committed by other homeless people. Large camps of people with severe mental illness, drug and alcohol problems, and nothing to lose tend to veer toward violence.

Having spent a lot of time volunteering with the homeless, and having close friends who work at shelters, the stories of violence and assault that occur in homeless camps are gut wrenching. When people advocate to just "leave people alone" and "have compassion" in regards to the homeless and their growing camps, I don't think they understand the underbelly of violence that occurs in many of these communities.

The movie rights should pay for some of the salvage costs
My ex worked with homeless people and was frustrated that so little could be done for them. One of the biggest obstacles was outright refusal to seek or accept any form of mental health care, even though many programs exist for them.

There is a pervasive fear of being locked up in a psych ward, and those who do get medicine (via Medicaid or other assistance programs) stop taking it, because treatments for severe issues usually have very unpleasant side effects. It can take weeks of trial and error to find something that works, and all that time you are somewhere between a zombie and (as it was described to me) like going through pregnancy without the baby.

You either force people into care, or accept that many will scratch out a living on charity and trash without getting mental care. There isn't a middle ground between forcing and not forcing people to change.
> Imo part of that is just web applications tend to be not very efficient when compared to something like unix cli utilities so to get performance you end up with potentially massive amounts of horizontal scaling

It's less about performance than about resilience IMO. Of course if you don't have a proper HA datastore (master-master) then you kind of undermine that, but a datastore SPOF is better than the whole application being a SPOF.
Yes, the bulb can be removed and the ship still seaworthy.

For moving containers off the best bet would probably be heavy lift choppers, the ship is large enough you could have several working on it at once and then just drop them off nearby to be loaded onto barges or something. A huge undertaking but it any weight taken off the Evergreen is less digging they have to do and the time is so expensive.

Also it's less middle of nowhere there's a pretty large airbase nearby it looks like from Google Maps and a second smaller airport south of where Evergreen got stuck so there's plenty of support near.

The study relies on "colors" defined by human perception, which could be interpreted as a form of training, when all inputs are restricted to that definition.

The efficiency/complexity insight doesn't rely on that data, but the human-like output produced by human-like color data combined with communications limitations does rely on it, and that's what the article is all about.
I didn’t count CTAN because Tex isn’t a general-purpose programming language, and so wasn’t competing for the same use-cases.

FastCGI wasn’t available for Apache until ~2004, so having something “akin to FastCGI” was actually a significant advantage until then. mod_perl was strictly more powerful, but that power made it inappropriate for use in a shared hosting environment, which limited Perl’s addressable market.

Me. Above.
For two years now I have kept very strict rules keeping my phone away from my person. They’re not overly imposing and I probably spend more time on my phone than a lot of people here. But the strictness is really helpful for me:

1. I don’t even look at my phone or anything it would present to me until my puppy is fed and walked and I have coffee in me.

2. I don’t look at it while I’m in motion unless there’s no other option (ie calling a ride or clarifying meatspace meeting arrangements).

3. I don’t look at my phone indoors unless there’s a physical need (ie it needs to be plugged into something else). Phone time is porch time.

I also try not to look at it from dinner time til bedtime but that’s less strict. It’s limited mostly by spending most of that time engaged with said puppy.

A bit of experience using ClojureCLR several years ago. I had mostly .Net experience at the time and wanted to explore so tried it out. I created some WinForms and Console apps, successfully passing stuff to and from C# code. I can't say there were any glaring problems with it. It worked surprisingly well. But eventually it was obvious that .Net was a 2nd class platform. Just, tooling wasn't there, so I just moved all that code to the Java ecosystem instead.
Why don't you provide some examples and maybe explain why you think they're false?
I actually had that in mind when I wrote the comment :).
But have you tried Fossil to see if it does meet your way superior standard? Unless you're working on Linux kernel- or BSD-sized repositories, Fossil is arguably a better fit than Git. You don't need to customise anything out of the box—it's literally a single binary anywhere on your path and you have your version control, bug tracking, wiki, forum, chat, technotes, etc. in-house. Your team won't need to visit but one server—that really streamlines focusing on solving your actual problem.
Polymorphism isn't a trait unique to OOP; most, if not all, FP languages have that as well.

Tragedy of the Commons effects are well-established to exist both in economics and outside it (in ecology, for instance). You seem to be attempting to shoehorn some misguided political take into the situation, even though Tragedy of the Commons is a decent characterization of this particular social pathology.
There's a lot of things that are obvious when stated, but for various reasons people don't really grasp their ramifications. Put another way, it seems often difficult to grasp just how significant an already superficially internalized concept really is.

E.g. pigeonhole principle -> no perfect compression (among other similar proofs)

Another a favorite one I have is understanding just how "weird" it is that pi, a constant, exists. Take a rope and tie it around the Earth so that it fits snugly on the Earth's surface. How much more length of rope does it take so that the entire rope circling the whole of the Earth can be lifted 10 feet off its surface? ~31 feet (this was at least surprising to me the first time I was asked this question, which was long after I first learned about pi).
Wow, that comment is not based in reality.
I often use a variation of this line of thinking for determining if something is worth optimizing.

Sometimes it can be hard to tell from profiling output or flame graphs just how much time is spent somewhere. Before trying to make something faster the first thing I do is turn it into a no-op.

If avoiding doing something entirely makes the program run 2% faster, then making that run in half the time is only going to give an overall 1% improvement.

I don't know if there's a name for this variation. It's just the same thing applied to different components and not specifically related to parallelism.
There absolutely are reasonable metaphors to actual real things that map very well to OO. So baby meet bath water.

Can it be both? AI excels at doing repetitive things better than humans, like maybe driving a car. Until it encounters a situation that it hasn’t seen before that cannot accurately be described with bits and pieces of what it knows. Then it’s result isn’t a little off the mark, it’s a lot. Think of a disaster like what happened with Ever Given or Chernobyl. How many different ways could AI have made the situation worse when confronted with those problems because there is no good definition of an optimal solution here.

> Second to write very fast julia u need to knew a lot of "tricks" and in most cases u won't be doing it as easy as writing normal code.

That's true in literally any language. Some languages require inlined assembly. Others require preprocessor directives. In almost all languages, you need to understand the difference between stack and heap, know how to minimize allocations, know how to minimize dynamic dispatch, know how to efficiently structure cache-friendly memory layouts. And of course, data structures & algorithms 101.

In terms of performance, Julia provides the following:

1. Zero-cost abstractions. And since it has homoiconic macros, users can create their own zero-cost abstractions, e.g. AoS to SoA conversions, auto-vectorization. Managing the complexity-performance trade-off is critical. But you don't see that in micro-benchmarks.

2. Fast iteration speed. Julia is optimized for interactive computing. I can compile any function into its SSA form, LLVM bytecode, or native assembler. And I can inspect this in a Pluto notebook. Optimizing Julia is fun, which is less true in other languages.
They hold containers inside, too. Or else the ship would get too top-heavy. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dd/72/f2/dd72f2e14fa997abad81...

Neither you or anyone else that I've seen have provided any evidence that the same connection is re-used.

Imagine this scenario:

1. User visits a site in normal mode. Browser opens connection A. Browser uses connection A to fetch the site. Browser leaves connection A open.

2. User opens private mode. User visits the same site. Browser opens connection B to fetch the site.

How does it matter that connection A was left open if some other connection was used to fetch the site in private mode? If that's not the case, then its a big deal - but that requires some sort of evidence and not just wild hand waving that it could be the case.
