Reading the more technically detailed comments I think really reinforces throwaway894345's point. I understood what "91%" means (much better than non-techies in my circle) but assumed a lot incorrectly about the controls and the actual "end point" they are measuring. It seems lots of folks are saying the different studies use different sets of symptoms etc and not routine testing at intervals to identify those who have the disease.

I suspect most of the public doesn't even know what 91% means. Combine that with being bad at evaluating risk in general. It mostly represents a 10x improvement in cases per capita per time, but I think telling folks that their risk went from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100,000 (or whatever) probably doesn't mean a lot. Folks just want "safe" or "not-safe" :(

CoSell | Designer / Developer | Austin or Remote | Full-Time | https://www.cosell.io

If you have a hard time deciding whether you're more of a designer or a front-end developer... I'd love to talk!

CoSell is a platform that helps sales teams collaborate across company lines. We're a brand new product but we're growing fast, and looking to add a fourth member to our product development team.

Our goal as we grow is to have a highly integrated team, following something more like the Spotify Squad model rather than keeping silos between Design, PM, and Engineering. Right now we have two full-stack and one front-end engineer, and we'd love to bring in another person who leans strongly toward front-end UI/UX. As a key early role this person will have a lot of influence on how we design and build our app - it's still mostly greenfield.

Our stack is Ruby, Rails, and web standards. We target evergreen browsers and get excited about things like native ES modules, CSS grid, the shadow DOM, and web components :)

If that sounds like something you're interested in, shoot me an email: andrew[at]cosell[dot]io

Cheers!
We take care of your pet, so you can focus on your start-up

Bitcoin has no real intrinsic value, so no, it's not worth it.

To make this more obvious suppose all money was bitcoin. By your logic it would be worth it to make our sole economic activity 'securing' it. We'd literally all starve and die.
Best open source alternative?
What if your "T" isn't a collection though?
What can I say? It's super whimsical, but that's about it. A proof of concept, but something many people don't have a use-case for.

One use-case would be creating an Electron app and you wanted an oldskool Windows UI instead of resorting to Bootstrap yet again for your project.

You could create clones of popular Windows apps, like someone done with Paint: https://jspaint.app/

Echoes of FlashPath (have one somewhere):

It is an adapter that takes flash cards (e.g. SmartMedia) and can be used in 3.5" drives.
Perl 6 wasn't the main factor. In the early/mid-2000s Perl lost mindshare because it's PHP equivalent - HTML::Mason - relied on mod_perl which cheap hosts were reluctant to offer for many reasons. Perl's main web framework, Catalyst, was a beast and only a few big companies took it seriously. There was also Mojolicious and Dancer but they never hit the big-time either.

Internally the Perl community fought with each other over how to implement OO. A Meta Object Protocal (MOP) was hotly debtated but the main implementation remained just a library. Likewise with Perl's main OO library Moose which spawned lightweight offspring such as Moo. TIMTOWTDI became a liability as competing scripting languages with built-in OOP (Ruby, Python & PHP5) ate Perl's lunch.

Perl also lost a lot of mindshare to Python in the an area it had dominated for many years - system administration.
Ultimately how well your program is designed is completely based upon what features you need to develop in the future, what their parameters are, what their return values are, what those return values will be arguments into, and in what scales you need to run all of this stuff.

These are all things a new programmer has no clue about. All you're really saying is an experienced programmer that has done enough researching and equation balancing (X algorithms feeds Y threads and a processor can support Z cores) ahead of time should be able to design a program that doesn't require too much changes in the future. And presumably, not overdesign in unnecessary micro optimizations.

It assumes perfect knowledge.

The closest to refactoring in programming is the ability to use IDEs to remove dead code and do code generation. But programers learn about IDEs long after they would first be useful - that would be around when you get to integrations, which easily triples the code base of your program.

Everything you mentioned is also true about programming
Compensation is purely driven by supply and demand.

I suppose you're right and that there are plenty of programming jobs that don't require a degree in Computer Science, but there are still jobs where you definitely do want candidates with a formal education in CS. The onus is on each employer to know what they need and act accordingly. The fact that most interviews revolve around evaluating a candidate's knowledge of college level data structures and algorithms regardless of actual job requirements, it's employers' own fault if they can't find what they need.
I suspect this could be done in reverse, for a profitable speedup.

So that is to say, by following the painter's algorithm (far to close), we draw a lot of pixels over and over again. If the closer terrain is rendered first (reverse painter's algorithm), fewer pixels have to be filled for the farther terrain. In some cases, none at all.

The basic premise is this: an element of the color/height map which is farther from the viewer will never occlude an element which is closer, regardless of its relative height, and regardless of the perspective projection. The elements of the map are colored, vertical columns. A column farther from the viewer cannot occlude a closer column.

Suppose our task is to render exactly two arbitrary elements into an empty frame buffer. We can confidently render the closer one first, and then render the farther one, painting the "pillar" from top to bottom, until we are about to hit a pixel which has already been colored. All those early breaks out of the column-painting loops can be expected show a marked speedup.

I'd be surprised if the 1992 game didn't do it that way; they were squeezing every cycle they could get out of 386 and 486 boxes.

I did some materials engineering coursework in college, and I think your comment significantly underestimates the technical complexity of <100nm process node manufacturing.

We had many brilliant minds working on these problems for decades, but it took time, skill, effort, and money over these decades to achieve each milestone of development. Now each of these firms (and each of their suppliers) has trade secrets that go deep, and barring some unlikely breakthrough of brilliance, these secrets can't be independently discovered by the brightest minds in any less than the time it already took to discover and develop them in the first place.

There's also the problem of supply chains -- modern fab tech requires a ton of downstream tech: the fab machines, the parts in them, and the places those parts were developed and manufactured... and the machines that were required there as well (repeat...). Also the raw materials, especially rare earth minerals.
>the energy spent to secure it is worth it

According to who, the people making all the money? It's obvious that people don't find it that simple.
I use a trackball and I go for 30 to 60 minute long cycle rides at least 3 times a week.

And while I'm cycling I make sure I shift the position of my hands on the handlebars at least once every 10 - 15 mins or so.

I have a road bike, so I try and also 'ride on the drops' if that makes sense?
> No needing to explain that the @ symbol is an array, except when reading from it. Then you use $.

Perl is stuffed with unforced errors like this. Lack of named parameters! Reading from filehandles by putting angle brackets around them! Filehandles being a distinct type from scalars! Hashes and arrays not being usable in the same way scalars are (can't put them inside an array or a hash, have to use a reference)! Even at the time, this stuff was distinctively bad. I wrote loads of Perl in the late '90s, and as soon as Python became viable, i leapt at it, because the language was so much simpler and more uniform.

All this is particularly wild considered in the light of the fact that awk, an explicit precursor to Perl, has a significantly simpler syntax. How did Larry Wall look at awk and think "i know, what i need to do is take out the named parameters, and add some more sigils!".

I do wonder if, it hadn't been for Perl, there might have been room for awk to grow into something more general. Probably not. But i don't see any technical reason why not.
Good point. It should both make future experiments more accurate and also debunk similar claims more easily.

Science isn't a bunch of scientists saying "we doubt it'll work"—science is a bunch of scientists experimentally proving it doesn't work.

The people funding the scientists decide what's worth testing. In this case, the possible benefit vastly outweighed the cost of testing.

To fix the head-to-wall metaphor: in some experiments, subjects who banged their heads against the wall reported being cured of all mental illness. However more rigorous tests showed this remarkable effect was actually a placebo caused by the subjects believing they were involved in making history.
true, I didn't think about this
This uses subtyping polymorphism not higher-kinded parametric polymorphism. If subtyping worked perfectly in all important cases, "generics" (parametric polymorphism) would not have been retrofitted to Java.

How has US intelligence agencies promoted identity politics? FoxNews, gop, news max are not us intelligence agencies.
Very nice! Since distributed systems are already mentioned itt, I wonder how category theory would map the recently-ish published CALM Theorem [1] which features monotonic ordering as a defining characteristic.

You don't really need to hold out hope for this... it is coming and soon. It's been in active progress for years now (its a huge undertaking).
I also remembered: fingerprint reader doesn't work any Linux. Given that list of issues I'm surprised you consider them 'well supported'.

Do you have a newer model and how is your experience? I would consider buying another XPS in the future if it had better Linux compatibility.
Per transaction it certainly does, the proof of which being that if you were to scale the energy per transaction up to the volume of transactions in the broader economy, you end up with more energy than humans produce.

I'm not sure a comparison to banking is appropriate though; much of what banks do (loans, etc.) is not obsoleted by cryptocurrencies.
the DoD budget was around 700 billion, no one is going to spend around 1/10th of their entire military budget on semi conductors at cost. They're going to assume some returns on these fab factories.
You'd think they'd get tired of all those casts everywhere.
I have to imagine traditional banking would use less energy than Bitcoin given the computational requirements of each. The current banking system also impacts a lot of other industries that Bitcoin does not, so Bitcoin is more of an optional "luxury" compared to the traditional banking system.

it seems to be the best of both worlds, the specialization of the class/fields is done the first time a specialized type is instantiated while the specialization of methods is done by the JIT.

And the VM can specialize on any values, not just types.
