Knowledge is empowering, and one can also argue that lack of it is considered harmful. Not being able to link to resources that can help you understand how something works can lead to (in the big picture) that only criminals will gain access to that knowledge.

Which should be the case, depending on what you do you will probably experience 10-50ms read latencies. Look for Evan's answers why the measured values here are higher.
The Japanese will also explain to you that they can't digest bread because their intestines are longer or import skis because Japanese snow is different.

The real reason Uber hasn't taken off in Japan is that restrictive legislation and a large taxi lobby (which is also responsible for a near-total lack of public transport at night) means UberX is impossible. DoorDash was not in Japan because local player Demae and Uber beat them to the punch, but the market is growing fast and they're joining the fray.
There’s a weird thing where home sellers are encouraged to be mindful of who they sell to. For example, in hot markets, couples buying a single family home are directed by their agent to send a photo of themselves and a letter talking about how much they want to be a part of the community, why that house is perfect, etc. I’ve never done this, primarily because I suspect we’d open ourselves to discrimination, but it’s a thing.
Are we certain this was not because the vulnerability is called "KRACK" which is similar to the drug "crack"? Youtube has been very strict about such phrasing mishaps.

Yeah it’s like good elevator music, haha
My mistake if you are actually including the warm up times in the benchmarks, I misunderstood. Arguably, single-execution-from-scratch JS vs WASM benchmarks could have even more value than repeated, warmed-up benchmarks as the former simulates a common web use case. IMO you _should_ very well end up measuring a mixture of the performance characteristics of interpreted JS and optimized machine code if that represents common use.

does this account for time? They might get their $10m back but if they invested it anywhere else it would be $30m now and inflation has eaten a chunk.

I do know some people that pulled their fund before the collapse had their gains taken back to the principal amount.
For the record, I was watching Wranglerstar review videos on youtube in the background and saw a gas can comparison which led me down a rabbit hole that I found interesting enough to share. No astroturfing boogeyman here.

The idea that you think someone could lose large amounts of money and not have it impact them personally or that there isn't personal fallout perplexes me. This feels like that episode of Seinfeld..

This won't be a very deep answer, but to connect with the original post, programming in CPS is more closely related to delimited continuations than call/cc is because the continuations are just ordinary functions in the host language, unlike call/cc continuations which are a bit more complex.

As for why delimited continuations are not more popular, many people find shift/reset a bit difficult to program with. In particular the type systems for them are a bit odd and some variants like prompt/control don't have nice type systems for them. Currently, the closely related notion of (algebraic) effect handlers is quite popular in the functional language design community as something quite similar in expressive power but more intuitive for programming and with very natural typing. The Koka language has a lot of nice introductory resources if you are interested in learning more: https://github.com/koka-lang/koka . There's even a serious proposal for adding something based on these to webassembly: https://github.com/effect-handlers/wasm-effect-handlers .

What exactly is in English within Python? There’s but a couple keywords used, and the phrasing things of “for x in y” is something like “para x en y” or similar isn’t mind blowing.

Not just that, but given that many inventions and concepts are American (mostly), they have to use “retornar” instead of “return”. Again, not a big leap even for a young kid in Buenos Aires.
Yeah I can understand legal's approach and maybe not wanting test the waters by going to a judge and all that work.

Microsoft and the DOJ have established a track record of getting judicial approval and so on. I'm sure now it is a much more known quantity / outcome legally for them than Red Hat back in 1999. I can imagine there is a good chance of a judge in 1999 think "You're who? and you want to wut wut the wut wut?"
I still remember Visual Basic with Spanish keywords. It was... a mess, and it really didn't do anything for Spanish speakers except fragment the VB user base.

It would be fun to do a quick survey of books breathlessly laying out the future of the internet from 20 years ago.

Looking back, the evolution of social media/youtube was pretty obvious. Back then, not so much.

1) Begin with anything goes including illegal. Run at a loss, Grow baby!

2) Ads

3) Bitching from some important people causes some removal of the more flagrantly illegal stuff.

4) Employees and PR departments apply a POV to what is now close to a monopoly. Large scale censorship.

What makes the modern era interesting is the POV angle. I can't imagine Rockefeller's Standard Oil restricting sales to people with conflicting politics. Of course, there are people spending a lot of time each day on r/politics and what used to be r/thedonald shouting joyous insanity at each other...that's the modern pool of workers.
SQL queries aren't just esoteric, they have highly opaque performance implications. Two ways of doing an SQL query that might look mathematically equivalent to a human could result in orders of magnitude speed difference due to one of them using the proper index and the other having to do a sequential scan, or various other performance issues like creating temporary data.

So this is going to run into the same issues as any SQL code generator (compare Hibernate for example): you need to know what query it will output. And you need DBA skills to know what that query means in terms of performance. Neither of those steps can be skipped.

Nor is unit testing necessarily helpful when using small n. Issues of poor scaling don't show in tests unless the data is large.

I'd still be very concerned about putting something as complicated as this on top of SQL, because despite what it says on the tin, SQL is not a declarative language. Any serious database-using application will still be chugging through synonymous queries to get to the one that works right, manually annotating the databases with the indexes it needs, figuring out when to manifest tables or views or any number of other optimizations the engine can't or won't do on its own, and doing a lot of other operations that are hard enough when using SQL directly, but will be made even more so by trying to operate through such an opinionated interface. SQL is already handicapped by trying to be declarative but in practice being a language where a lot of nominally-equivalent things will result in different queries under the hood.

I loooooooooove the ideas being expressed in the post. I am firmly in the camp that SQL needs a deep rethink because of its many and manifold software engineering flaws, and this is exactly the sort of thing I'm thinking of, not just a slight gloss on SQL, but a complete rethink. I'm just not sure this is going to be practical sitting on top of SQL. Make this a native query language for Postgres or something and we'd be talking. One step at a time, though. I'm very positive on this step being taken.

At this point, extracting the industry from its path dependence history [1] of SQL is a Google-sized problem. The engineering itself isn't necessarily a Google-sized problem but the rest of it is.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_dependence - that is, if databases were all separately evolving over the years and only this year were they all going to get together and produce a standard to unify themselves, it would not look like SQL. It would quite likely look a lot more like this. SQL has too many glaring flaws, not least of which is its total composability fail.
I thought syphilis couldn't have a vaccine because it's a bacteria?
Agreed, the positive correlation makes the results harder to judge, and specifically it means that one cannot reliably use confidence to predict skill, other than higher confidence is generally associated with higher skill. It's unfortunate how many people cite DK to erroneously justify linking confidence with lack of skill. Based on the paper, the only thing we can say about skill by looking at confidence is that more confident people are statistically likely to be more skilled.

You are right, they did mention self-evaluation of score. "Lest one think these results reflect erroneous peer assessment rather then erroneous self-assessment, participants in the bottom quartile also overestimated the number of test items they had gotten right by nearly 50%."

But the results and conclusions of all the studies are focusing on the rankings and not the scores. It's difficult to even understand what the absolute range of scores is, and of course we don't see the actual questions they asked, so we don't know what the scores mean.

Figures 2 and 3 say to me that zero people in the study knew how well they ranked or what their score was, the survey data is basically flat with noise. This could be explained by questions that are hard to understand, or by participants guessing at the answers. They didn't propose those explanations though, they wax on and on about how people who underperform overestimate their abilities.

How do we know the participants even tried to answer correctly? They were all undergrads getting extra credit (which suggests they needed extra credit and were within the range of grades where it might help to get extra credit... consider what that means relative to skill: it's a narrow range of students not getting an F nor getting an A.) And they were getting extra credit just for being there, not for answering correctly. What if they were lazy? What if they were told their answers didn't matter? Why should we assume they didn't answer randomly? Even if they did try, the participants were all Ivy League undergrads who have been told they're among the elite and made it through a highly selective process of admission. Of course they rate & rank themselves highly. 100% of the participants were in a single college psych class, there were no uneducated people, no morons, and nobody who actually had meaningful "deficits in metacognitive skill" relative to the general population. Why is the set of people used in this study not considered an invalidating confounding factor for the results?
The focus is code size, but in terms of performance I don't have numbers to report but on average you can expect a regression around 2%, but it will depend of call latency of core and is also impacted by cache effects, so in some cases you can have a performance improvement

This is what people choose when they decide to angrily tweet at advertisers into pulling away ads whenever YouTube doesn't take down bad videos quickly enough. It tells Youtube that they should tune their moderation to be overly aggressive. This is true regardless of how much human moderation they use.

It does limit a lot of use-cases from being viable in WASM.

Anything that needs to do a lot of DOM access will probably see a big performance hit if you rewrite it in WASM because there will be too much overhead from crossing the JS-WASM border.
The more troubling problem to me is that my government (United States) will drag their feet on just about any issue that matters to ordinary people--spam, climate change, overfishing, healthcare, etc--provided at least one corporate lobby of virtually any size at all advocates for the problem. Using this spam case to illustrate, it's taken a decade of multiple daily spam calls to virtually every single American for the government to budge on this issue (and still no solution is even on the table for snail mail spam); how are we ever supposed to tackle issues that only really affect a subset of Americans (e.g., healthcare), or which affect us all but invisibly/intangibly (e.g., overfishing, climate change, etc)?

If I had one policy wish it would be to completely eliminate corporate lobbying. Concerned citizens can lobby individually or in groups, but corporate donations, perks, etc to such people/groups would be tightly regulated with steep fines for trespassers.

Spanish speaker here. My experience is that English keywords in programming languages aren't an impediment. Most other programmers in my country (and others, judging by what I read) share my experience.

Localized keywords don't translate well to a later experience with programming languages at large.
YouTube's content policy is bizare. Children in my family seem to watch videos of Spiderman dry humping Elsa or grannies kicking people in the nuts, but then they remove stuff like this.

I guess this is what happens when advertisers are the main priority and the moderators have all been replaced with robots. Content that may actually harm the development of children is considered fine, while someone posting a slightly edgey political take or a research paper about something which triggers a bot is removed.

Bitcoin is not, in any way, a Ponzi scheme.

It may be the subject of a bubble, it may be subject to market manipulation, it may still play a part in any number of scams or frauds beyond the ones that have already been identified, some of which themselves may be Ponzi schemes. But, even if, for the sake of argment, all of those and more were true, Bitcoin itself would still not be a Ponzi scheme. It is and would still be just a digital commodity.
For the record, I was watching Wranglerstar review videos on youtube and saw a gas can comparison which led me down a rabbit hole that I found interesting enough to share.

The only difficult to trace transactions in Bitcoin is from transactions which occur purely in btc and don’t touch anyone with a financial license.

Think drug dealers/gangs recirculating bitcoins mined years ago. Now the tricky part of this is that it would only take knowledge of a few transactions in the networks identity, complete with purpose to start identifying everyone. I’m sure an AG is looking forward to the largest RICO case in history at that point.

I’m sure that folks looking to anonymize are aware of this and take further precautions, I’m also sure that there is someone in the network who is dumb.

If I was in law enforcement I’d make btc address collection a top priority.

The FCC should not only force them to block all robocalls, but fine them an amount in the billions for what amounts to pissing in the well of public trust for decades. I mean, I don’t ever answer a number I don’t recognize anymore. If the doctors office calls, and I don’t remember the number, they are going to have to leave a message and play phone tag. What is the social cost of an entire population of people who basically don’t trust their phone or anyone who calls them? Some survey company tried to call me last year, and I didn’t answer it because I assumed it was some kind of scam. It doesn’t have to be this way. The way phone companies have conducted themselves constitutes gross negligence and betrayal of the public trust. I want to see jail time, not a slap on the wrist.

Moral argument: functioning society's don't expect their member to act perfectly and always make the right choices. Would you expect a hospital not to treat you because you got injured while committing risky behavior (e.g. extreme sports, trying strange foods, or arguably driving a car)? Treatments like this support "repeat offenders" and the poor bastards who make a wrong choice once alike.

Pragmatic argument: It's better economically and for productivity for people to not have HIV, Syphilis, etc. It's far easier to provide treatment and testing then to tell people to stop having sex.
Thanks for the heads up :)
