> there's a good chance these sounds come from the same object, due to the physical principle of resonance. And so our perception of sound evolved to reflect this... we discovered that making decent music increases the odds of mating

It is likely we did evolve this unique ability, which our cousins do not have, but we have no idea why. These hypotheses about "same object" and "music -> sex" is unsourced speculation.

Anyone know if there’s something like this for etherum 2.0? I can’t wrap my head around how pos works.
It can be tricky to deal with the intersection of music and programming. For example:

> The chromatic scale is the easiest scale possible

So far so good-- in both programming and music we're just stepping through the smallest values (half step for music, the integer "1" in programming). So "easy" definitely applies to both domains.

> We can generate a chromatic scale for any given key very easily

For programming, sure-- you just find your offset and go to town.

For music, however, this is a wrong warp. The chromatic scale is a special case of a symmetric scale which cannot be transposed. There's literally only one such scale-- each transposition brings you back to the same exact set of pitch classes.

Figuring out what it means to have a chromatic scale "for a given key" is advanced music theory. In fact, I can only think of a few places where that makes sense:

* studying the complex harmony of late-19th century Romantic music

* studying the choice of accidentals in chromatic passages of Bach, Beethoven, etc. to infer the implied harmony

Those are important things, but they are definitely advanced concepts.

Long story short for programming, the author moves logically from an array to stepping through an array. But in terms of music, they start with the simplest possible scale and then jump to a third year undergrad theory concept.
Humans have 10 fingers and 10 toes. We almost certainly prefer working with 10s for that reason, all things being equal.
I use python in a scientific context, but have so far not written much extensions for python in any of the languages tested. I'm interested in some guidance which language a) is easy to integrate with python and b) has some good performance, but this benchmark lacks the details to come to any conclusion.

I tried to run the benchmark on my own computer, but the setup documentation was not enough for me to get the julia integration running. I haven't used julia before, so it might just be something very simple.

Similar I haven't used poetry much before, and the given documentation failed to install the necessary setuptools-rust for me. I could fix it on my own, but doesn't make me feel certain about the outcome of the benchmark.

The rust benchmark did not reproduce for me: "Rust (Pyo3) parallel after" has a 1.56 speedup for me, but a 2.6x slowdown for the author. Also I don't understand what the difference between "after" and "before" is, the code just calls the same code twice. Might be a JIT/Cache thing, but it's unclear to me. One sentence what before/after refers to would be very helpful.

Generally all measurements are only done once. Measuring at least thrice gives one at least a chance to detect an outlier and gives possibility for statistics, e.g. is a difference betwee the different cython annotations even meanginful?

The "C Cython (pure-python mode)" is reported faster then "C Cython (.pyx)". The Cython project itself says that using pyx files should be faster, so something strange is going on.

"Cython is fast, but none of these methods are able to release the GIL. " (A) this is not true (B) this seems to be mostly over single threaded performance, so why is that meaningful?

"Rust is not that fast beacuse it needs to copy data; using Pyo3 objects would probably lead to similar results as cython, but with an added library." The rust code already contains Pyo3, so an "added library" is not necessary as far as I understand.

I'd guess the performance stems more from conversions between different types then anything else. Maybe Julia (and the python-julia bridge) is particular smart about it and thus it's super easy to use, while pyo3 (and cython) needs some more work to interface with python. Even if that is true, I couldn't say it from the presented data.

With these caveats resolved I'd be interested in the benchmark, but without it I can't really say anything from it.

If you can convince a bunch of dumb yuppies that they will sound like the hippest hipster in the break room when they chat with all their coworkers about what they're up to they will shovel inordinate amounts of money in your direction. And after a good run at that either you sell out and move down market or someone else comes along and develops a 90% as good solution that's accessible to a much broader cross section of the population.

Pulling that off is the big question though. Premium consumers are more fickle than normal consumers.
The problem is that Erdogan doesn't let the central bank do its job. Back in 2018 Erdogan bascially took direct control over monetary policy which caused a loss in confidence.

It's extremely surprising because the Turkish economy was doing well until 2018. The only thing it was lacking was a properly set interest rate, which requires high central bank independence, the primary factor in low inflation.

It's happening at the fringes, in communities that are already more privacy-conscious. I haven't seen any signs of a groundswell of support for this position.

No, I was speaking figuratively; I don't have any desire to profit off surveillance capitalism. I simply see regulation as a far more likely solution than users demanding an ethical business model with their wallets.

Not only that, but I'd be surprised if the military didn't make heavy use of Nvidia cards for ML workloads, CAD design or god knows what. I could definitely see a way to frame this as a security threat if either company were to stop selling to them.
See my other comment. Because Arm might be working with GCHQ and Arm / Nvidia might stop that and work with NSA - unlikely to be an issue when Softbank owned.
I think it's a national capability to do things move - probably sharpened by the realization (in the middle of the pandemic) that not everyone was a friend of the UK and would quite happily watch us drown while sitting round singing songs about how many lifebelts they had.
> What motivates someone to spend hours scrubbing and personally delivering clean plastic?

Hence why taxes on fossil fuels should be so high that a plastic bottle costs $10 and plastic toys cost $100, so the alternatives are worth it and the plastic is not made in the first place.
India and UK have essentially the same nominal GDP, while UK probably has ~ 1/20 the population. This despite not seeing none of the violent conflicts of East/SE Asia, either during the great war or after that.

India consciously inherited the draconian colonial system of the past century, with all its inherent builtin cruelties, and has shown neither intent, nor any inclinations of changing this. It clearly serves the elite well to have this setup with a meek and famished population.

Take one simple metric: the literacy remains < 80%. China has near 100%, despite the complexity of the writing system. India thinks the issue is with its native languages (that its people actually understand) and now plans to 'leap-frog' China by teaching people everything in English.

India is set to create an entire generation of people who are skilled neither in their mother tongues, nor in the "progressive foreign language"; neither are they civilized in Indian traditions, nor in Western ones. A country with such mental handicap will go more in the way of sub-saharan Africa with all its meaningless violence.

Once the candles of the old civilization are finally extinguished, I expect a lot more violence. If anything India will end up as another basket case, and require a lot more humanitarian aid.

Well, properties are the only allowed investment - besides the notorious unstable internal stock-market and thus a huge speculation bubble is existing, while everyone half-way well off is trying to bring their money to safety abroad - be it through crypto, company internal fund transfers or investment in properties elsewhere.

We have a very large portion of production code written in numba we’ve been running for about 3 years and I made a small contribution to the library. There are a lot of gotchas to numba when the codebase gets large but the benefits far outweigh the downsides. I highly recommend numba.

Edit: also note that a big part of the umap library is written in numba.

I think the bigger issue between Elm and Clojurescript is that while Clojurescript is a language, Elm really is a total toolkit for web application development. Elm has its own virtual DOM, various types for interacting with the browser, and is very possesive of the DOM making pulling in non-Elm code challenging.

Meanwhile writing a web app with Clojurescript will require making more choices around libraries you want to pull in, although you can always just go with re-frame which is awesome.

As far as more theoretical learning, I'd go with Clojurescript. Clojurescript is a real lisp with all the fun stuff you can do there. Elm is an intentionally gimped ML variant made so to make it more palatable to the Javascript developer community. If your goal is to learn about typed FP while running in the browser, you'd be better off with ReasonML.

I'm sceptical about that - we don't own much technology IP and we're hugely reliant on the US already.

Not everyone has that available to them. In my county there is no municipal trash services. It’s all private and the commercial providers make vague references to single stream recycling. I’m skeptical they’re doing a good job of extracting recyclables from waste.

It sounds like Stanford just justified wars and empire building as necessary?

EDIT: I may have commented too quickly. Clearly this is a professor and not Stanford. It's hard to read "violence is necessary" as anything other than a call for violence though.

However, if the claim is that violence is necessary for redistribution of wealth which the article claims it seems disingenuous to choose “revolutionary” violence as the way you see it but not all of the other. It’s a rose colored glasses view that would say “this violence was okay but that violence over there was not.”

The ultimate issue is that people continue to use the metric of inequality where the poorest are compared to the wealthiest when it is a gamed metric from the start. It only exists for political reasons and is overall nonsensical. Comparing poor to middle class numbers is a much better indicator of overall inequality since it is a better reflection of general standard of living for the bulk of the population and not some idea that going from $10 to $15 an hour will suddenly make a person more comparable to Jeff Bezos. It’s a political statistic that should be outright ignored in favor of something more useful.
Japan tried this in the 90s with expiring vouchers, results were subpar.

The bailwick of Jersey sent citizens a prepaid card with £100 expiring in 6 monhts which was also disabled for ATM withdrawls during 2020. Again moderate results.

Money is a unit of account, if you mess with it people adjust quickly, there is no free lunch.

Those who are attached to the class-based OOP model used, for example, in Python will find the dot notation more natural. But Julia’s multiple dispatch is a superset of this, and unarguably more powerful and flexible. Python OOP leads to monstrosities like

>>> ', '.join(['1', '2', '3'])
'1, 2, 3'

>>> '1, 2, 3'.split(', ')
['1', '2', '3']
You may be right about the reason. Or maybe it’s something to do with positioning between US and EU.

The correct move would be to nationalise ARM and build a fab, but the Tories are very unlikely to do that.
I hope you didn't use a nail because

1) some religious groups may be sensitive to this word since Jesus was nailed to the cross

2) some might interpret it as a sexual innuendo

Also I certainly hope there was no frame, because some ethnic groups have been framed for crimes in the past.

In fact, if your painting builds on the heritage of colonial culture, it is inherently racist and problematic.

The only progressive option, really, is to tear down the wall.

Unless I missed something, when were they doing that with PS3?

The only effort to do any GL like stuff was on the PS2, with GL ES 1.0 + Cg, an effort that was dropped when almost no dev cared to use it.

Other than that there was the PSGL library for PS2 Linux.

Anyway, I did a bit more research and Chrome was actually only used for development purposes, they created their own WebGL engine on top of PhyreEngine for the console OS.

Assuming the central bank stays independent it is not a problem in the long term. The problem with Turkey is that the president meddles too much.

> the next step tends to be remote integration testing on the actual cloud hosting service, using some sort of separate staging infrastructure that will possibly be shared among many developers

One of the results of the pay-per-use pricing model of services utilized in serverless architectures is that you can easily provision dirt-cheap developer and feature-branch specific environments for integration-level testing. While you still can't attach a debugger in your function, the isolation from changes others are working on makes testing and exploration much more pleasant than when working in a shared dev environment. Things only get complicated when your architecture includes more expensive components with different pricing schemes that you probably want to share with others (e.g. relational databases, data streams).

Any article talking about increasing immigration will attract the ugly nativism in this forum almost immediately.

Immigration has been shown to greatly benefit a developed economy like the US, and high skilled immigration even more so. The next few decades will require the US to not only maintain its edge but stay several steps ahead of China in its capacity to innovate. We desperately need to allow for more people to enter this country.

One word: variant. Variant B1617 has emerged and India and seems like it could be driving a surge.

There's not a lot of data yet on that variant's transmissibility and lethality but it has already been detected in the UK.

Thus far it doesn't seem to be as dangerous as the Brazilian P1 variant, but could be trouble just the same.
I can’t reply directly to the comment below yours, so it will be as a side comment.

I don’t think anyone is arguing Elixir isn’t niche, we are just explaining why Elixir gets attention on HN even though it is top 50 on TIOBE. HN itself is focused on certain domains and tends to be early adopters.

Likely not on a laptop/notebook computer. I was thinking more like a modern desktop. I’ll even settle for a dedicated environment on some server farm somewhere.

However, I’d like to be able to run everything that is pertinent to my work and that we have access/expectation to edit/comment on.

Especially if you are just getting started with micro services and there are like nine microservices but only like three teams you are still expected to have input on all nine micro services even though your team is only directly responsible for three of them.

I think now that I think about it, I basically want a development environment for me with an easy story to debug without getting on VPN or something.
I’ve batte-tested Elm on many projects at this point. It has its quirks, but it’s great. The language is so simple and its compilers so small that I’m not really afraid of the bus-factor. Worst case — I’d fork the compiler and apply the fixes I need.

Aidmin – Your Database Helper
I live in India. Just got my first dose (Covishield -- which is the AstraZeneca derived vaccine manufactured by the Serum Institute). The process was really smooth. Just went to the website, (I could have used the AarogySetup COVID app, but preferred not install it,) was given an appointment date. Turned up on the appointment date, stood in line (a longish line -- a 3 hour wait) and got my vaccine. Was made to wait for 30 mins post vaccination to check for anaphylactic shock then then sent home with a couple of fever pills (paracetamol I think). Was contacted two days later by a robocaller to get my feedback and the vaccine certificate was available for download immediately. The process was REALLY smooth. The thing is, its easy to sit in a tiny country like the UK and say the vaccination program is going well, India is vaccinating at rates similar to the rest of the world 3-4 million per day. But India is so huge that, at that rate it will take several years to vaccinate everybody. Harsh lockdowns sadly are even worse for poor people. They literally caused more deaths in the early days due to starvation (from not having the money to buy food) than the virus itself. It is complex to manage a vast and complex country like India. So glib, short comments on social media sites make good reading but are not reflective of the actual effectiveness of the government in power. And I say this as an ardent critic of the current Modi administration.
