Why? It was just officially rolled out to its first devices less than two weeks ago. It isn’t like a google service that can fail/not get enough traction fuchsia already has a bunch of users (anybody with a google or android device) that it could be rolled out to. I imagine it will not replace android in the next five years but simpler devices it’s almost guaranteed to be the main OS shipped going forward.
It looks like the mod_wsgi / Apache stack I've used for years does indeed use the shared libpython described here (according to running lld on mod_wsgi.so). So this compiler flag could have saved me 30% of a server - or saved my users 23% of the server processing latency of their TTFBs.

Though my servers are already overprovisioned, and latency is probably more due to memory / IO and... oh nevermind.

Kudos to the python devs, looking forward to more speed improvements.
The fish call it a salinization plant. It’s ecologically questionable.
I really like just asking "how do elevators work"?

It's so open ended and they can talk about anything from the algorithm, to the mechanical design of elevators, to the UI, to a high-level discussion of all the different components.

Really lets you know quickly which parts of systems candidates are interested in.
It's legitimately hilarious, as a liberal, that the liberal half of the US whiplashed from "even discussing this is racist" to "we're actually positive of it on very little evidence" without any new information to speak of.
They cooked the golden goose with notifications that were overly aggressive in quantity and low quality/irrelevant. Even when I tried their occasional notifications setting it was too much. Oh well.

Maybe. I think they’ll continue rolling it out to simple devices for a few years while they do extensive testing and fix any issues that arise but I do believe their long term goal is for it to be a replacement for all their various Linux based OSs (since it is supposed to be able to run on simple devices all the way up to smart phones and PCs.
Eh, Steve Jobs still gets shit around here for the way he treated his first daughter (and rightfully so).
This is not how HIPPA works at all. At all.
I always liked the way he responded when asked (many years later) why he did it. Paraphrased, it was along the lines of "It was so obviously the right thing to do, but it would have been nearly impossible to push through the bureaucracy, so I just went ahead and did it myself." He did something so profoundly good that we are compelled to wish we could live up to such an example, and the reason he did it? He didn't really have one. It just never occurred to him not to do it. Which is as good a definition of "hero" as you're likely to run across. "Righteous among nations" indeed.
It's fine for it to identify you but does not in any way authenticate you. People who cared understood that in the 50s.
I believe early in WW2, Japan had a treaty with Russia.

So Japan did not torpedo US Liberty ships headed to Russia, and various other surprising things. (Japan obeyed international treaties to the letter, but did not follow any human rights conventions.)

Of course, at the end of WW2, Russia turned their vast army and artillery eastward, and annihiliated the Japanese army.

This author doesn't have much experience with competitive gaming and it's quite obvious. This is only a strategy he devised to play against his friends and relatives, most probably. He assumes a lot of player behavior, and what other explanation could there be? His bathtub example is very bad because there ain't no players, and when there's players the meta absolutely depends upon who you are playing against. there's not such a thing as an optimal universal strategy at all, in fact it makes a player predictable and low-skilled in most competitive games.

Systems thinking without game philosophy understanding is very shallow.

To illustrate my point of the strategy being entirely reliant upon opponents (meta): in cs:go, most unexperienced players will go through a hot spot (that's probably being targeted by pre-positioned opponents) without jumping, making themselves easy targets. this is the behavior you will find in low ranks. eventually, some of the players will learn that jumping may be a good tactic in these situations instead, to make it harder for opponents to hit headshot, and behavior becomes very common in mid-ranks. Eventually, though, mid-rank players will start to notice this tendency to jumping, and will position their crosshairs looking for a jumping headshot - they will progress in rank by doing so. At high-ranks, however, a lot of times it is expected that your opponent will be waiting for a jumping cross, and therefore the low-rank behavior would be the best one: don't jump. In conclusion, it's impossible to point out the best possible behavior without knowing who you're playing against and their skill in the game.
When people say they grok something it hurts me deep inside.

It’s not a correct analogy though. In case of Emacs the house has a bathroom for you, a sauna for your whole family, separate bathrooms for your cat and your dog and at least one bathroom for an extraterrestrial entity that breathes helium. And yeah, in case you’re not satisfied with that amount of bathrooms you can build up your own after some training.
How is stealing signs cheating? Seems like it should be part of the game. Don't like it? Encrypt your signs. Make baseball a cyber arms race. Maybe then it would be interesting again.

I think Mark Rober made a video where he creates a sign stealing device, though not necessarily as advanced as what the Astros were doing
Somewhat off topic but:

> Do you believe that becoming religious made you smarter / more aware

As in it's equipped me with mental models to understand which components of secular life are acts of faith & ritual vs reason.

> 'secular world' is perhaps not as centrally organised as you may believe or wish for

Nor is it uniform. But there are some overt and some covert aspects. the covert forces benefit from being nebulous.

One reason religions are so open to attack is that they have a clear identity and value system (not necessarily good, but at least clearly stated). If you think about it, you can have a healthier relationship with a religious opponent– as long as you have equal power, you can oppose each other in a healthy way.

The secular world is applying all sorts of demands & social pressures on you, and there's no way to oppose them, because secular ideology doesn't have an identity, an institution or value system open to attack. It's like fighting smoke or a swarm of bees.

Prof. Sergey Levine is REALLY good at explaining the intuitions of DL algorithms. This class also includes lectures on ML basics and very approachable assignments.

Many classes/blog posts start with describing what a neuron is - that IMHO is a super terrible way to teach a beginner.

To understand DL, one should know why we need activations (because linear models are not enough), why we need back-propagation (because we are optimizing a loss using SGD). This class is very great at explaining those things in an intuitive way. Following through I felt I built a pretty solid ML/DL foundation for myself.

Clubhouse feels like a prime case of “that’s a feature not a product”. They did a great job pioneering a new conversation medium but implementations like Twitter Spaces that piggyback off a social network feel more natural.

Audio rooms are great for unique, impromptu content - more collaborative than a post or a video but less staged than a podcast. Unfortunately audio-only discovery is hard and slow.

It's funny when radical progressivists in my country try to translate the "white male" cliché into our local context, because white (as in caucasian white) people are are less than 5% of our population.
It can, see https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets/ . There's more work for us to do for more "automagic" behavior. For example, I want my home desktop to offer proxying to my printer without having to set up a full-fat subnet router.
can you elaborate on this? This is the kind of philosophical analysis that I think most secular thinkers lack. I know there are rigorous atheists who are capable of understanding their ideology, but they are few
I miss 2010 in America. Politics was mostly an after thought on slow days in social discussions. It was so much more civil without everyone being primed to the teeth on social media with anger.
>We're seeing some pushback both, politically as well as in the corporate/business world. Some companies are starting to detach from social justice issues and politics in general from taking over internal discussion

I pray that you're right, and that this accelerates. The penetration of extremist sj ideology into all spaces has been some of the most corrosive behaviour I've ever seen.
>However, my point is when we take folks from a similar socioeconomic background, being white does confer an advantages

This is exactly the point I'm refuting. In all of the working class neighbourhoods I've lived in, poverty seemed to have a greater adverse affect on white people than other racial groups.

Being poor while Indian, for example, doesn't seem to be so closely associated with family breakdown/fatherlessness, drug abuse, malnutrition/bad diet, chronic unemployment, trouble with authority and just this constantly bleak outlook on life in an unbreakable spiral of poverty.

I'm not trying to say that they have it easy. They work bloody hard for what they've got and are an integral part of society. Still, despite their life being tough there's at least light at the end of the tunnel in the form of hope for the next generation. I would much rather be poor and brown than poor and white.
I would love your opinion on whether migrating to Rust is a good idea for us, since you're experienced in this realm.

My team has a Java project that's written in a modern OO style. We defined "modern" OO as encapsulation and polymorphism, without inheritance, and it fits our use case very well.

We don't want to give up the benefits we get from the OO architecture, for good reasons that I won't get into here (because I don't want this to de-rail into a OO bash-fest, as fun as they are!)

The conundrum: In my experience, Rust doesn't support polymorphism very well. When the borrow checker meets polymorphism, a lot of state is forced into parameters (state which is inherent; we already keep state to an absolute minimum), which opens it up to mutation from all sorts of places; not very encapsulated.

We can have a bunch of private member Rc<RefCell<T>>s instead of bringing in all state via parameters, but it's unidiomatic, and in the end we'd probably have something slower and less safe than our original Java program.

The question: Is there any way to make Rust a good fit for a use case like ours?

(The same problems would apply to C++ codebases, though it's a little more convincing for them, since C++ isn't as safe as Java)
Is it a good thing for US? In 90ties we only knew American culture from sitcoms like Baywatch and Friends. Now your political culture turned into Southpark and US is a joke.
At least you can now delete Apple Maps. That prevents it from starting inadvertently.
Perhaps read more than the first paragraph. It's not just stealing signs, it's the technology: "they used a camera mounted in center field to steal signs and relay them to hitters in real time"
...why the relentless vaccine "hard-sell" and the irrational opposition to any questions regarding it's safety?
When I think of religion in the context of Hacker News I think of things like Michael O. Church evangelizing functional programming or the people who challenged the epistemological paradigm of the cladistics journal which must be parsimony. So I feel confused when I see the other kind of religion here. One way you could make us feel even more uncomfortable is by sharing information we haven't considered, like a weakness in a computer system or a contradiction in a generally accepted practice.
The cheating aspect is using any outside technology. A runner on second isn't forbidden from trying to steal the sign and communicate it to the batter. However you aren't allowed to have someone watching live video, using binoculars to watch the catcher from the outfield, or any other technologically aided approach to stealing signs.

Plus teams often do "encrypt" their signs. That is why you might see a third base coach give 10 different signals. Only one or two of them are needed to convey the instructions. The rest are just used to hide the true signal. However it is now trivially easy to decrypt these signs using machine learning. Here is a video on it.[1]

Self play applied to language creation as opposed to go and chess? I like this idea.
I get the impression from the article that the Astros were mounting hidden cameras in their own stadium, which of course is a capability that the away team wouldn't have access to. It wouldn't be much of an arms race, it would just always result in a huge advantage for the home team.
Seems very difficult to gauge quantitatively. I've changed jobs at year 2, 12, and 19. Each time, what I was interested in to make my next job better had changed based on my age as well as my accrued experience at the different jobs. And there's the fact that for someone like myself, I'm guilty of moving the goalpost. I honestly have a great job right now. Bit as I get used to that, then new things bug me.
"The sticky stuff helps increase spin on pitches, which in turn increases their movement"

uh, no. That's not how pitch movement works. How did SI let a writer who knows so little about pitching write this garbage?
Nice baiting there Jcowell, well played. No country in the world is perfect. Canada is still near the top of the list when it comes to safety and quality of life.

It's true that many first nations people struggle. Canada is taking steps to help them (see accelerated vaccination of native communities) and I sincerely wish them all the best. However, dismantling the police probably isn't going to undo things that happened several centuries ago.

In fact, I am no sociologist, but I would surmise that telling cops that all of them are bastards and exposing them to budget cuts will probably make them behave with less kindness, not more. ACAB is the opposite of constructive. In my opinion, it's a toxic message with the potential to make things worse for everyone, first nations included.

All of that being said, I'm 100% in favor of body cameras that are always enabled, and stricter limits on weapons use by police.
No, and I didn't mean spaceflight either. Which Forth was apparently used for but I didn't recall until I googled it.

I associate Fortran with nuclear reactor engineers. I was told they were some of the earliest users of it, maybe even before it was out of "beta", so to speak.

Quote from 1955:

"Considerable effort is now being made by various groups to develop automatic coding techniques which would make the use of a large machine feasible on this kind of problem. The system of greatest interest is Fortran, which is being set up by IBM for the 704; there is some chance that it will be available by the end of the year. To use it, the engineer who is setting up the problem must formulate it in a somewhat modified algebraic notation, which is then entered directly in the machine. As a result, the task of stating detailed machine orders and assigning addresses, which is largely a clerical task and constitutes most of the work of coding, is completely eliminated. Some scepticism has been expressed by experienced programmers, on the grounds that the resulting code would be far less efficient than one designed by hand. Even if this is the case, however, a system of this kind will still have a wide range of applicability in reactor analysis and should be kept in mind in considering future machine work."
Not being in the bubble makes it easier to see the absurdities of the US system.

Also, watching journalists go after Trump for the wrong reasons was quite an eye opener. Especially when the many valid reasons to go after Trump were often not pursued deeply enough. Same applies to Hillary.

And Obama. Just wow. Plenty of things Trump was attacked for promoting were in fact Obama-era initiatives. Journalism in the US is fundamentally broken. They aren't holding power to account.

I don't think its any better elsewhere. Was it ever? Its possible. Its just more obvious when you look outside your own patch.
To be fair, the rest of the world's activities seemed fairly stable than the random events regularly occurring under the Trump administration.
It costs me less money travel-wise to go to a non-Walmart grocery store. Within the same cost comparison of traveling, I've got about four different brands of groceries all within a similar price range.

If I had an iPhone, it would be a several hundred dollar proposal (at least!) to shop at a competing store.
You are putting words in my mouth. What I am saying is that scientific method is way of thinking. If you have to compare to religion. They are orthogonal. You can apply scientific method and claims that you believe god exist. Because you can't scientific prove otherwise. But at the same time, you can apply scientific method and claims the reverse, that you don't believe god exist. That's fine, because you also can't prove otherwise. And surprise, you can claim you don't know, which is also perfectly fine. The most important part is you don't always arrive at some certain conclusion, and that's fine.

Because it was not about result. Or rather, it's never about the result. It's about the process, in same vain of procedural justice. It's about finding the provability.

The thing is if you can't move past that you have to make a result. Or the extreme, result is ignoble. That the process of proving the utmost important part. You will never get what scientific method is about. Just like your last paragraph. Sure, there are so many theories. Maybe even someone claimed that that harry porter is real! But why do you have to believe or not to believe if you only care about the process of proving and provability.

It's not about proving that the religious people are wrong(or proving irreligious people are wrong). It's about the fact that, for some people , they truly don't care about the result or take the result itself so far as undetermined (still care about the proving process though) and moved past it.
Indirect? They can shut down an app for any reason with no recourse if they wanted.

The UN does not decide what is _evil_ or not, and empathy is not some self-evident trait from which all objective morality comes from. You could possibly argue that empathy is evolutionary and aids society and in that way has some objective merit, but the GP is right, we have to accept that our moral systems are rooted in some assumptions.
I really appreciate the desidere to not just understand but also try to help people with bad mental health, but I really hope that you are not reading to much into this. You cannot simply know if the same person would still end his life living a completely different life, re:

>I last communicated with jD91mZM2 in February, one month prior to his death. This communication was purely technical, regarding the aarch64 port of the Redox kernel. I can’t help but think, that perhaps this was a factor in his decision to choose death

Mental sickness is sickness. You cannot investigate it like you would a rational decision by a healthy person. The event or events pushing him towards suicide could have gone back years on years. People living an otherwise objectively great life can contemplate suicide.

Not taking away from the good message of taking care of others.

Your statement is equivalent to "a particular practice defines what is fair".

Because the questions regarding its safety don't seem well-intentioned at all and the safety has been proven in clinical trials. Its also about risk management - getting covid is basically a lot more dangerous right now, for anyone and everyone, that any side effect that can happen.

I very strongly agree to the idea of using the tools you already have and know to solve the problem at hand and release it. Then observe where it could use help, then seek options on specific products solving those problems and only then can we get to real good questions that can pierce the veil of marketing and the comfort of herd mentality.
