I’m not so sure about that book. It includes Steve McConnell’s claims about 10x productivity, which Laurent Bossavit thouroughly and convincingly debunked in his book, The Leprechauns of Software Engineering.

A bunch of citations isn’t the same as evidence. When I dig into software studies, I find all kinds of issues, ranging from subjects of convenience (the professor used their undergrad class for their study) to industry studies that don’t define their terms. (e.g., MS did a large empirical study of TDD, but never defined how TDD was practiced—this is relevant given the misunderstandings of TDD that exist, particularly at Microsoft).

I didn’t read the rest of the book—just looked at the blurb, winced at the inclusion of McConnell repeating his 10x claim, and read his chapter—but my default stance is to be highly skeptical of academic software engineering, and even more skeptical of popularizations.

Edit: I’ve just glanced through OP’s book, and it looks like an impressive piece of scholarship. I remain skeptical of academia’s ability to teach much of interest regarding software engineering, though. (They spend a lot of words on Waterfall and traditional project management. Their words on the Agile-kinda stuff companies actually use today? One paragraph, paraphrased: “there is no data, we have nothing to say.” Not the authors’ fault, but sums up the irrelevance of academia to real-world SE, in my mind.)
When I say a certain environment, I mean wild nature. The jungle and the mountains are more similar than the modern city.
I suggest our biological adaptation cannot keep up with the rate of man-made change. The Internet dominates our lives now for example. But it did not exist 50 years ago. It took less than one generation. Biological adaptation needs many generations.
The unconscious is made up of deep layers. It took millions of years to adapt to the wild environment.

When I say you cannot win, I mean daily habits. We achieve great things (like space travel) with our conscious knowledge: science accumulated over generations. But then at a daily level we do a lot of things which are self-harmful. These come from unconscious choices for survival that have the opposite effect today.
Like exercise. Some people do extreme feats. Most struggle to do any exercise. What's the difference? The ones doing it a lot have a deep habit of exercise and adjusted their model of the world. Most who don't want to do it, are driven by the unconscious model that any energy conservation is advantageous.

You have lots of control. My argument is that willpower is not a brute force. You cannot force yourself to change. It only works for a short time. Rather that the key is to adjust your unconscious model and the environment so you change.

There are chances that it is possible to have some slower form of life at much lower temperatures than on Earth, where the elements H, C, N, O and S still have the major contribution but instead of water some other solvent is used, e.g. hydrocarbons or ammonia.

On the other hand, at very high temperatures, e.g. in the Sun, life is certainly impossible because you cannot have even molecules, much less more complex structures. Everything is a homogeneous mixture of atoms, ions and electrons and any kind of structure would be broken instantly by the agitation of the particles.

If there is any metallic hydrogen on Jupiter, it can be found nowhere close to the atmosphere, but in the core of the planet, at extreme pressures.
And if you plan to use Terraform, you might as well skip that step and go directly to Pulumi.

Hi there,

My name's Pat and I'm on the ResearchHub team. Thanks for taking a look at our site and sharing these questions.

"Github for science" is a phrase that describes our long term vision for what ResearchHub can become.

As a poster below mentioned, today's product could be much better described as Reddit for science. It is a v1 designed to test a few hypotheses and bootstrap a community of early adopters who believe in our mission of open scientific communication.

Overtime we plan to add more Github-esque (for lack of a better word) features. Next in the pipeline is a science-specific collaborative text editor that will help teams of scientists publish any kind of research output directly to ResearchHub.

We are still in very early days and have not yet found product market fit. The more critical thinkers we have the better, so if you have any interest in helping us improve ResearchHub I can share a link to our community slack channel.

Thanks again for your interest in our project!
>Why yell "sorry" instead of "hi there"

The local racing biker etiquette here seems to be yelling "AUS DEM WEG" (make way) in a very rude tone. "Hi there" or even "sorry" would be a definitive improvement over what we have now. ;)

I think this is a case where the Free Monad could help a lot. I've only ever built toy-examples but I really liked the way it allows you to structure the program's plan separately from interpreting it.

There's this cool essay by Isaac Asimov considering viable chemistries for life:

"Not as we know it. The chemistry of life"

http://www.bigear.org/CSMO/HTML/CS09/cs09p05.htm

I was surprised to realise (that besides being a prolific author) that he was a professor of biochemistry.

He ends up with a:

"list of life chemistries, spanning the temperature range from near red heat down to near absolute zero:

1. fluorosilicone in fluorosilicone

2. fluorocarbon in sulfur

3.*nucleic acid/protein (O) in water

4. nucleic acid/protein (N) in ammonia

5. lipid in methane

6. lipid in hydrogen

Of this half dozen, the third only is life-as-we-know-it. Lest you miss it, I've marked it with an asterisk."

My first paper as an undergrad measured MIDI round-trip by tapping the input and output MIDI wires and then looking at how the signals were offset: https://www.kmjn.org/publications/MIDI_ICMC04-abstract.html

For keyboard input, one paper (whose citation I can't seem to find) used a clicky mechanical keyboard, pointed a mic at the computer, and measured the offset between each corresponding pair of keyboard click and sound output.
they used to split stuff like R off into the "scripting" category. But now most "real programmers" are apparently doing python or javascript so that little hierarchy quietly disappeared.
Game programmers mostly want tight control of object layout and lifecycle. GC doesn't matter much when use ECS all over your codebase. As long as they can run the GC when they want and can layout the objects flat without needing pointer indirection it would be very suitable.

I think C# is popular because it allows the above. When Java has proper value types it might be suitable for writing games.

Cancel culture (and the nastier more vicious personal threat / personal attack) is an artifact of how the internet empowers populism. When it comes to running a non-anonymous social media account, there's simply only two choices:

(1) You run a low profile and nobody cares what you post unless you're unlucky. If your sphere is small enough, or maybe you run a Facebook group with only a few thousand people on a relatively uncontroversial topic you're probably okay. Probably. For now.

(2) You need to have a consistent take and defense with respect to every social issue and culture war that exists in the entirety of online discourse. You build your sphere into one that agrees with you, and you're always up-to-date on the latest issues, so you don't get cancelled. You might end up cancelled anyways, if a much larger social circle gets unleashed on you (e.g. a content creator 10x or 100x your size does a video about your bad take on XYZ and tarnishes your brand)

So many of these cryptocurrency-based “solutions” could have this same comment aimed at them. So much time/effort/money spent rolling out web services that don’t even understand the basics of the industry they’re trying to “disrupt”.

I’m not anti-cryptocurrency at all (and have my spread that I support) but this “take x and add a token to motivate people to post x to our site” is getting pretty old.

If “coin-days staked” is massively higher on one side of a PoS chain fork, that doesn’t impact the other side’s security in the way PoW hashrate imbalances would.

To use a real world example, Bitcoin PoW mining consumes in excess of 100 Terawatt hours of electricity per year. If Bitcoin were to undergo a repeat of 2016 today, and the Bcash blockchain were to be serviced by miners consuming less than 10% of the energy spend of the incumbent (Bitcoin), Bcash could be easily 51% attacked.

But in the PoS corollary to Bitcoin v Bcash, coin-days staked would have no bearing on Bcash’s ability to continue making forward progress. Just so long as it remained difficult to either disrupt 1/3 of Bcash validators or acquire 51% of it, Bcash would continue functioning perfectly well (see: Jude C. Nelson [1]). At that point the rightful heir to the Bitcoin title would have to be determined socially. It could not be determined without top-down human intervention.

Deep sea chemosynthetic communities, sustained by cycling and release of hydrothermal vent fluids on the seafloor (discovered in the 1970s), are quite unlike anything living at or close to ocean surface, where primary production is sustained by phytoplankton [0]. And bacteria have been found even in extremely deep boreholes [1].

Cold seep chemotrophy exists on the sea floor as well, fueled by reduced gases such as methane, other hydrocarbons (e.g. Gulf of Mexico). But in these seeps, the source of organic carbon may have ultimately come from the sea surface environment.

I'm sure a lot of the MEMS sensors, etc, are indeed on those wafers. A large chunk of that and analog / hybrid circuitry is dominated by structures that don't benefit from super high density processes and large surface area wafers.

Yeah it might help to see how things are implemented, for instance, even SICP can be a good foundation for this, since they also have interpreters and compilers and talk about things like "primitives" and "derived forms" and grammars.

Essentials of Programming Languages is very implementation driven and they implement a wide variety of interpreters for untyped languages, typed languages, concurrent, imperative, continuation-passing, object-oriented and more.
What does "GitHub for Science" even mean?

Personally, I think it means that the site is an attempt to centralize something that is currently decentralized.
Same story. Bought a rigid Rockhopper XC in 1993 as an eighth grader with $400 of summer wages. Started life as an off road machine, but converted to an after-school work commuter, then a college commuter, then a law school commuter, then a law firm commuter. Thousands and thousands of miles. At some point it lost its bar ends, along with most of the original drivetrain. Now that I live outside of town, it sees less action. So does its owner. My mid-section tells me I should get back on the nearly 30 year old bike hanging in my garage.
I'm not trying to start a flame-war, or accuse you of being a luddite. I was just saying that you were: maligning disc brakes, and didn't like change.

The post you replied to was about change for change's (and profit's) sake, to which you responded that that was the case for disc brakes, along with calling them stupid for racing.

Again, if you prefer them, aesthetically or otherwise, that's fine. They're not stupid though, or are they a money grab.
> The other way around it is not OK, because from proprietarizing ideas, there is no benefit for society

You say this as if proprietary rules (ie. copyright and patents) weren't intentionally designed to incentivize knowledge creation & sharing by ensuring compensation for innovation. Creators can't pay bills with societal advancements and research progress. This is a really shallow "proprietary = bad" ideological take that I expect to see on the black & white pages of Stallman's website, not an (at least partly) entrepreneurial forum.

Heh, I wonder about the relation to the ever increasing usage of superlatives and exaggeration in advertising and media. There was a short discussion on it yesterday and it got me thinking.

Perhaps there is a place for a bell on shared use trails... but I don't see the need for them on dedicated MTB trails. Riding a bike is loud, so you usually hear somebody smashing down a track faster than you are going. I'll usually say something like "there you go" when the trail straightens/widens to indicate they should pass me.
Common doesn’t mean that most people made it. In a world where you can die for a cut, a hunter doesn’t last to be 70 very easily. This is one of those counter-myths that I’ve been seeing too often lately.

The comment about dying early made sense: Just because we lived with unprotected sex for the last million years (and we changed genetically due to some viruses that we got along the way) it doesn’t mean that we’re now still willing to bear the consequences.

I’m willing to bet that nowadays we have far more sexual partners than we’ve had since we started “society”
There are understated psychological consequences to casual sex, particularly for females. Only in my 30s did I begin to understand the damage that my ostensibly harmless casual relations caused to many past partners, particularly those who grew attached before the end of the casual relationship.

Pair bonding is crucial to social organization and casual encounters erode the psychological capacity for such bonds, without nullifying the innate human desire for long term companionship. The result in a "sex positive" society is a growing proportion of perpetually lonely and frustrated people, or dysfunctional relationships. One of the few instances in my opinion where ignorance truly may be bliss.

So, to your question, it's quite possible that we will rediscover the purpose of monogamous marriage, if we can reason past the barriers of some recent ideologies.
>Then the idea of only going downhill. Is this really a thing? That seems lame.

Going downhill is a lot (A LOT) of fun. Way more fun that going uphill (for most I would say). So many people just want to skip the uphill part and only go downhill.

I have an eMTB so going uphill for me is fun. But there's people who would never drive an eMTB so they use bike lifts ;)
