Oh, certainly.

On this particular distinction, in fact, it's one of the benefits the actor model has over CSP. In the actor model (well, Erlang's take on it, but that's one that has been adopted elsewhere such as in Akka), I care about "if this fails, who should be affected by it". I.e., by default, it's just this process, and with a supervisor it'll restart. How do I get it restarting into a good state? If it goes down, who else needs to go down (to keep state consistent)? That's mostly all I have to ask myself; I don't have to ask what all the ways it could go down are (slight caveat there; you still want circuit breakers around external resources).

With CSP, I have to ask "if this goes down, who else IS affected by it". Not who should be, and be intentional about linking them, but determine who accidentally is affected by it. This is everyone who might be sending or receiving across a channel (to borrow Go parlance) this process has access to. Which breaks the abstraction; from the perspective of the current process I shouldn't have to know who is sending or receiving across a channel, but the reality is I -do-. And that's no better than the error model I have in other languages; I have to understand every part of my application to know what may or may not be affected by this one part going down. Go gets 'around' this by just making it so any uncaught exception (err, unrecovered panic) crashes the whole application, which is certainly one way to do it.

Yes, yes, I hear what you're saying. Women who wear pants, black people who insist on getting paid for their work, or casually mention their white spouses, people who wear yarmulkes and turbans? Those apolitical people? Why should they feel the need to go anywhere?
Not without an impractical reduction in accuracy. And even then you still have to iterate over some number of timesteps, whereas output from a deep net is a single evaluation.
Final Cut is a very old product (1998). The entire market for digital editing has expanded greatly since then.

We don't know because Apple doesn't report it, but I would surmise that Final Cut has had a consistently growing user base.
I think mortality/danger is an interesting axis:

If, by being a man, you are 10x more likely to die from your job, and you are 10x more likely to die younger, should society compensate for your fewer hours lived?

If no, why would society decide to undervalue males?
It's certainly accounted as a cost by Apple when it calculates its 37.8% gross profit margin.
I think that as game consoles become more multi purpose devices (as Xbox has been championing for a while now) that they will end up in a similar position as the app store.

The software industry does not value certifications... at all.

The F-111, which eventually (and accidentally) became useful in a role other than the several it was designed for and failed at, should have been a warning beacon here.

Eisenhower was right, though, and the military-industrial complex (which now pales in significance to the Social/Tech-Government complex)rammed through a monster one-size-fits-all plan that was farcical on its face, but successfully stole well over a trillion dollars from the taxpayers, and delivered a plane so unreliable it's unflyable 75% of the time, and in trying to do everything, winds up being good at nothing.

Really? The F-35 a replacement for the A-10 in its low-altitude, tight-turning, monster-gun close air support role?! AND a world-beating air superiority fighter (to rival or surpass the F-22, Su-57, and J-20), AND a top carrier-based fighter, AND a stealth fighter/bomber to replace the F-117,AND a supersonic VSTOL Harrier replacement? The very idea is completely ludicrous. The real-world F-35 is even worse than the old SNL commercial for Shimmer - It's a floor wax AND a dessert topping! (but with HappyFunBall's unpredictability...)

Anyone with the sense God gave geese can clearly see that one airplane could never do all this (again, especially after the F-111 debacle), but the corrupt Pentagon, Congressmen (but I repeat myself), and military-industrial complex took all of us for a ride on their trillion-dollar turkey.

The worst thing is that we've wasted decades worth of R&D and procurement money on a plane that does not and cannot work and be useful in the real world. We had better pray we never need this airplane in a fighting war, because it CANNOT be relied upon, and we can't afford enough of them anyway!

> Declines in population are not irreversible, you can always build the population back up. Before the industrial revolution most countries had periods where centuries passed and the population stayed mostly even.

While it is possible to reverse the decline, China is now in a different demographic regime than in those centuries where the population stayed mostly even.

The regime then was high fertility and high mortality. Now, it's low and low, and both the fertility and mortality declines have strong economic, institutional and cultural drivers.

In geographic terms for example, people live very differently. Then, most people lived on farms with or near their extended family, surviving (often malnourished) by arduous work that mostly wore out joints and tendons by age 50. Now, most people are in nuclear families or single-adult households in cities, much better nourished and housed and expending fewer Calories per day.

Economic progress has also given people more agency and more possibilities, and quite a few are choosing, for example, to maintain career momentum rather than take time out to have children.

At the same time the costs (in both money and time) of raising children to be economically productive are rising rapidly and there are other large demands on Chinese families' income - housing, healthcare and saving for their own retirement,* for example.

It's possible that some government policies might lift fertility (in particular, a universal pension, cheap universal healthcare, and laws about career momentum with children) but imho these policies will only be tried some decades after a one-child or no-child household has become firmly entrenched in the culture. That is, too late.

* Nearly everyone wants to avoid a precipitous drop in standard of living on retirement. China has very low retirement ages: 55 for women and 60 for men, IIRC. And there is no socila security. With fewer income earning years, people have to save a bigger proportion of their income.

Sidebar: in a low mortality regime, the key demographic statistic for long run population growth or decline is the reproduction ratio (RR), the number of daughters per woman. In the past demographers have used the easier-to-obtain Total Fertility Rate (TFR, lifetime number of children per woman if this year's number of babies per 100,000 population were to remain constant) or CCF50 (completed cohort fertility at age 50) which counts the number of children 50-year-old women have had.

The assumption was that there is a fixed relationship between RR and TFR and/or CCF50. Now that fetal gender selection is being practised, the relationship is no longer so fixed. So things are worse for China than they might appear using simple whole-population numbers.

There are definitely good arguments for it, services like feature-flagging I mean, and such things are generally relatively low-cost; it's more the risk of adding a 'disappearable' dependency for anything and everything that'd put me off.

> Poisoning a few watersheds in Asia

There are plenty of ways to rationalize anything into making it seem fine or even great, at least by comparison. Just because it's framed in a binary manner where one option is clearly the worst doesn't make the other option good. It's still a fallacy. Your cynicism might block you from realizing that mining for coal instead of cutting down trees doesn't make it "a net positive" for the environment, just a lower net negative.

So I'm glad that we can agree on one thing though. Mining never had any kind of net positive impact on the environment.

Microhydro energy: reinventing the wheel (2012)
Awesome thx !
I thought that the purpose of lockdown (in the UK at least) was to prevent health care from being overwhelmed, at which point deaths would drastically increase.

So we don't really know how many people would have died without lockdown to make a comparison, but it would have been a lot higher.

If the health service is completely overloaded it means people would start dying from all sorts of other things too.

Am I missing the point?

I wish some of those humorous rants still existed. Music criticism now is so staid and boring. There are more paragraphs dedicated to the author's navel-gazing about their personal circumstances, than what the damn record sounds like.

I even wish the elitism still existed. I used to go to Pitchfork, Coke Machine Glow and sites of that type to read about music that wasn't getting covered elsewhere. Now it's basically Rolling Stone, but worse because it pretends to be counter culture while devoting endless posts to TSwift or Drake or any number of artists that can be heard on every major radio station.
> It's that the freedom to choose needs to be equal, and the playing field needs to be level

I agree. About race inequality, I think in the US the two main causes are public schools paid by local district taxes, and very expensive higher education.

Of course with an abundance of content comes the issue of curation. Media used to be curated by people with sometimes lofty goals of trying to be highbrow, and having their journalism subsidized by classified ads. Now everyone has to be a tabloid. With an abundance of content also comes niche-ization, where to get a loyal audience you need to keep pandering to their pre-conceived notions. Debates between opposite sites these days get condemned by both sides.

Yes, we hired a Salesforce dev in the previous company I worked for. It's been around a long time, and I'm sure there will be a need for it for a while to come.

However, myself and every developer I know hates it. Having to work with it full time seems like it would be one of the more soul-crushing jobs in tech. Plus you'll constantly be doing requirement discovery with non-technical stakeholders. So you're combining the worst parts of consulting with the worst parts of development. You specifically seem to want to avoid unfun jobs, so I recommend very strongly to run in the other direction.

In many countries therapists have a duty to break confidentiality for example if they think you have a intent to break the law. I knew people with drug problem who didn't go for a therapy out of fear the therapist will report them to the police.
I don't think it's fair to compare the budget (in real terms) NASA had with the one SpaceX has when you make that comparison.

Moreover, I fee like our government today would have a hard time pulling off that feat. In the early 60s we still had somewhat nimble areas of government. I don't think it's true today. We allow too many interests to have too much pull and negative influence causing some kind of paralysis as well and franken-projects that are impossibly encompassing.

Not really, I don't configure vim and all my skills w.r.t. vim are via vimtutor.

Cost of learning: 1 hour (when I was bored on a long train ride and didn't have access to internet). I did the tutorial 3 times.

The basics of vim are easy to learn. Caveat: I do remember I had like 5 false starts in learning vim (and remembering nothing). This was before I knew vimtutor and googled for random tutorials. IMO, a lot of vim tutorials make out the vim basics to be much more complicated than they are. Vimtutor doesn't, vimtutor is the perfect example of a magic bullet.

Just type vimtutor in the CLI and go.

What do you not like about web dev? What type of work do you like doing?
It is contrarianism, there are many mature JS libraries, the fact that less mature packages also exist isn't a problem, just don't use them.

This isn't true, but even if I grant this to be true, you could just as accurately say pretty much every js dev knows node, axios and react.

If workers refuse to go back into the office, then the corporations will have no option but to support WFH. I for one would never again work somewhere that didn't offer 100% WFH. It would be the first thing I asked about in a hiring interview.
You nailed it. I may never have much class privlage, but I can emulate it with WFH, location flexibility and by cultivating small amounts of financial independence.
Everyone deserves breaks and for some level of setup/cleanup to be on the clock. Some amount of what is enshrined in the work rules is just excessively cushy.
However there is a big difference between stuff built into these work rules vs what happens in private industry.

The basic question is - do the work rules restrict employers from adapting to productivity enhancing technology changes over time?
The goods&services in the US which go up in cost much faster than inflation are the areas where we are unable to harness labor saving productivity - education, medicine, and it would seem municipal capital construction projects.

Does your employer retain Fortran programmers on-staff in the break room because they signed a contract when Fortran was important?
If your employer moved all your compute to the cloud, would you keep 100% of your now redundant datacenter staff onboard?
Does your employer keep the underperforming 25% of the team perpetually and just grant paid overtime in the $100k+ to the superstars to cover the gap?
Does your office building maintain an elevator operator in each cab despite having automated the elevator 50 years ago?

This is the difference between private firms and the public sector union stuff you deal with in places like NYC.

I mean yeah, it sounds like a pretty nice work environment and I'd love if my (easier/safer) office job had all that paid time, rules and work limits built in.
However.. I get why it seems nothing gets done in NYC construction because of it?

A fun example - there was a 6 month project to replace a set of 2-story staircase at my subway station. The demolition work was rather swift. I assumed they were building on-site if it was going to take 6 months. Lo and behold, it was actually a pre-fab staircase they trucked in. However not only did it take 6 months to simply install that pre-fab staircase, but they ran over by a few months! They actually had to come back and re-close it and do some repairs afterwards too.
Meanwhile at the corner below that train station there was a McDonalds. I laughed as I watched them gut renovate it over the course of a weekend so they could be back in business by Monday selling food to riders.

If you haven't seen NYC municipal construction up close, its hard to fathom just how screwed up it is.

Of course. What about the Haar transform? Or digital filters? It's very much all about the same thing.

You compare the original signal with some reference signals, look at how much it correlates. Then you save those correlations only. With the correlations and the reference signals, you can roughly reproduce the original signal. (Extremely paraphrased.)
