wait, if you're a researcher, and a doctor, but you say doctors are not here to do research.. isn't that a contradiction?

I think you're right that most doctors don't do research, but doctors publish papers all the time. if I look at a surgery journal I'll see articles by surgeons. my doctor isn't like, in the lab running tissue assays, but he'll try experimental things when no clear-cut treatment exists, see if they succeed or fail, and adjust his practice accordingly.

also, dismissing people with "weird conditions" as "out of luck" is a pretty crappy thing to do. I can understand not having enough time or background to handle those cases, but I sure hope you're referring those people to someone who can rather than giving up on your patients because you can't be bothered.

No need to apologise at all, and thank you for your thoughtful reply!

>To get the full value out of it, your app code should be aware of transactions, participate in database mechanisms (versionstamps), correctly handle asynchronous streaming of large amounts of data with backpressure

This is an excellent point, and broadly aligns with Crux's design also, since the transaction semantics provided are relatively raw and therefore much of the interesting parts of the "database" logic live firmly in the application code.

It sounds like you have a really interesting system and I would love to hear more about it one day :)
No, certain words and phonemes are not unutterable. Their utterance can be used as excuse to hurt you, or they can be celebrated, depending on whether you are in the good graces of the thuggish management class that has taken over so many of our institutions. So if you are Donald McNeil and these thugs decide they don’t like you, and quote someone else using a forbidden word, that can be used to fire you¹. The fact that other people are allowed to use the same word dozens of times in a single article shows that it is not the word itself that is prohibited.

I played the whole game before opening the credits, and while playing, I couldn't help but think of some of the other things of his I've seen over the years -- for example, I remember a different one where you just wandered in various directions as patterns formed, I think, but I don't remember what it was called -- and then lo, this was something he worked on as well!

Matt's work is an inspiration. His 'Audiograph' from a few years back took me down so many good paths, learning about palette choices, 3D cameras, audio analysis, and more. His stuff is a treasure.

(edit: the wandering game I couldn't recall the name of was https://bellwoods.xyz/)

Came here to say exactly that! Years ago he was a springboard for me to read further on various topics, each time leading me to conclude he doesn't give a shit about presenting the truth if it gets in the way of his story. :(
The university I work at, though about half of it I'm covering from various funds I control.
Atwater's Southern Strategy: attract racists, without saying... you know the rest. He said that a long time ago, but the strategy is obviously still in play (see e.g. Thomas Hofeller, bithers, blatantly anti-mexican and anti-muslim quotes from the party)

The far right keeps showing up bearing the battle flag and nazi flags -- and Flynn, Stone, and Trump appear to love groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Other Republicans who speak out about that get cancelled.

Jerry Sexton's "who knows, maybe some of us will be slaves one of these days."

And the QAnon candidates.
IANAL, though this is for disputes. Not for compliance with international laws which we can do anyway. The question is: can a US company with servers solely in Europe can comply with the European legislations. Based on my understanding the answer is yes, though I'll double check with the experts. :)
Yeah, that's the consensus among most prominent economists and by extension politicians. It's based on the flawed assumption that consumption is automatically good and savings is automatically bad. Saving money isn't just going scrooge mcduck and holding it in a vault. Saving money is investing it, which funds innovations and investments. That could be via stocks, bonds, bank deposits (which get loaned out), etc.

I have yet to see a single compelling argument as to why an arbitrary 2% target is superior to say just a 0% target. Macroeconomics is basically a pseudo science anyways.
they're probably using it. with the volume of traffic they're using, and the fact Qwant and every other 'private' search basically uses Bing results, paying for API access makes the most sense.

My point is the wider evolutionary context. Otherwise I don't have anything new to add to the discussion.
I don't disagree with your main idea except its aspect of totality. Even Lunduke said as much. There will still be pockets, there will still be extant lineages.
It's Qn when you're dealing with the register as a single 128-bit quantity (currently only the SHA256 and SHA512 insns need to do this, I think, judging from a quick search through the architecture reference manual), and Vn when you're dealing with the register as a vector of smaller units (eg "ADD V10.4S, V8.4S, V9.4S" does a vector-addition of V8 and V9 into V10, treating each 128-bit V register as a vector of 4 Single-precision (32-bit) floats): you write vector arguments as Vn.2D, Vn.4S, Vn.8H or Vn.16B. Hn is used for 16-bit floating point arithmetic insns. It looks like nothing's using Bn yet, but the manual defines the notation.
Well actually… Thomas Sowell (who is black) talks about how he felt safe going around on his own in Harlem in the 40s and 50s, and never heard a gunshot. So there actually was a fair amount of social trust / actual safety in black communities even then. With the obvious caveat of course that interracial violence was still a risk. But at least within black communities then, yes there was more social trust.
Maybe you misunderstood my post, I don't disbelieve him. I'm raising concerns that there's apparently brazen abuse happening amongst many accomplished adults with nobody being held accountable for it.

In my day job I do data pipeline development and operations. That involves a bunch of AWS services and some custom wrappers we developed in-house. I spend a lot of time clicking around in web interfaces.

Recently I have fantasized about what it would be like to operate my environment with something like the ACE control room.

Need to set a flag on some Spark option? That’s literally a switch. Is something on fire? Look for a flashing red light. Need to send the output of a task to some other process? That’s a knob.

I think about this both in terms of literally making a control panel/room or a web interface equivalent.

A control room seems like something that needs a lot of forethought and deep understanding. How would that requirement along with the difficulty of pushing changes influence the design of a web interface?

Recently Ken obtained and shared some of the Roto-Tellite switches from mission control. Is that the 1960’s version of jQuery?

Every time I fly, it feels like half the people in the lines have never flown before and their inexperience is compounded by their ignorance of posted signs, call-outs, and general awareness of what other people are doing.

Like...when you're in the security line, you should have your ID and ticket ready to show the TSA agent. I've seen way too many people get to that checkpoint and only then put their bag down and ruffle through it to find their wallet and ticket, completely oblivious to everyone that was in front of them in line and already had that stuff ready.

Then, when they have to put their stuff on the scanner...doesn't matter how many times the agents shout that laptops have to be removed from bags and their shoes have to be taken off, they'll try to go through with shoes on and leave their laptop in the bag.
I feel strongly. _This_ is italics (strictly, underline) and
*this* is bold.

Underline is used rarely any more, but if it's required, then _this_ is underlined, /this/ is italics, and *this* is bold.

While I feel very strongly about this, I cannot justify my feelings.

I believe Git normally refers to these things as "trailers" [0], which seems more accurate since they usually (always?) Follow the commit message rather than preceding it.

I don’t understand a single word of what you wrote. How does one defend against naughty words using a machete, unless the machete is wielded against the speaker of the heresy?
From what glibc developers have told me, glibc supports a huge number of systems, and a lot of the "bloat" in glibc comes from supporting various architectures and operating systems accumulated over the last 30 years. In general, code is not deposited in glibc at random, so somebody did see a good reason to do whatever it is at the time it was done. Musl is nice but it's not a strict replacement for glibc in all cases, and the musl developers seem to be pretty honest about that, for example here: https://wiki.musl-libc.org/functional-differences-from-glibc...

Also in my experience, the attack surface cannot be strictly reduced by removing features -- if users want a specific feature, they will just get it from something else, so at some point one needs to have code on the machine somewhere that does it.
CoCs are just a form of explicit rule documentation. You can call these Bylaws or a Constitution, but they serve the purpose of making rules clear and clean.
I'd say it's pretty wrong considering there are literally satellite phones.
> At this point, it's sad that people would need a CoC just to follow the most elementary of courtesies.

If the body tasked with enforcing the CoC is the same one being an abusive penis, its not going to change things.

However, I agree that its pretty shocking that people seem to struggle with the basics of human interaction. Yes social conditions are indeed real(the autism spectrum et al), but that's not a cover for being a weapons grade tool.

more importantly the is no excuse to indulging these behaviours. If you see it, call it the fuck out. I don't mean "be the ally" pussy footing around. Empathise with the belittled party and redress the person(s) being a shit. Yes it will be touch and go, but unless you set boundaries, "founders" and "thought leaders" will continue to be obnoxious shits who chase the fun out of everything.
The ad industry eventually ruins any medium it touches, and is responsible for spreading misinformation and propaganda that have killed millions.

It ruined print when every other newspaper and magazine page had an ad mixed in with the content. Sure you could get the paper for free, but how much content are you actually reading?

It ruined television when an hour-long show is interrupted several times to show 15 minutes of ads.

And now it's ruining the web with the advent of ad tech and the brilliant minds that get paid millions to think of new ways of squeezing more value out of people's attention. Web sites are riddled with ads now even worse than in the popup days. I have to navigate a legal minefield of dark patterns to ask them to please not track me or sell my data.

These are just the ways it ruins content and user experience. What about the misinformation? The lies from the tobacco industry, the political ads that overturn democracies, astroturfing and embedded marketing...? The list of shady and downright evil practices is too long to mention.

Advertising is a scourge on humanity. It needs to be strongly regulated and companies as influential as Google and Facebook need to switch to user respecting business models, for the sake of all of us.
good luck to matthew

there's a lot to say about these situations

- principles are not enough, investing in FOSS may bite you later if you feel hurt by the destination.. be sure to only stay where you're happy right now and don't assume an ideal won't be bad (not a judgement, just sharing a late realization)

- 'show must go on' seems to be a deep reflex in humans.. should we teach stronger sense of respect ? what if matthew or anybody had stepped in vocally during that session and asked M.F. to tone it down or apologize right away ? (my 2cts: it should be a mandatory school lesson for most of us)

- how can one form a side group to keep enjoying his time on whatever topic without having to deal with corrosive people ?
I mean this as a genuine question - do you think it offensive to say that “a trans woman is a trans woman?”, meaning that their life experience is not identical to a cis-woman?
adichie is a prominent feminist author. it reads to me as if the person you are replying to is sneering at her for that reason, framing her feminism as a comparable manipulation (aka "the game") and reveling in that.

Async is not really about parallel. Async in nodejs works the same way. The point is for IO to happen concurrently. To scale to multiple cores in Python or node you run multiple processes.

If you're not sharing mutable state between them, that scales great. If you are, you really shouldn't be using those languages, they're not the right tool for the job.
Very interesting. I like the idea of "virtualizing" the hard schema with views to abstract away some things.

View performance can be a thing at larger scale for OLTP workloads, also, the solution you propose also adds complexity since you have two schemas now instead of one, and as you rightly point out, complexity with views themselves. The question becomes when is this added complexity worth it?
There are a lot more people alive today than in the 1970s.

What I don't understand is psychology research (at least in academia) does not seem to have moved behind the "we locked three dozen college kids in a classroom and had them perform some bizarre acts, through which we hope to pierce the veil of human nature" - style research. I feel like if something good could have come out of the social media age - is that we have documented the natural behaviour of a vast number of people over long stretches of time. I think this is the sort of invaluable data, that has the potential to advance the quantitative understanding of human nature.

I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but I love that the Hebrew characters that they found look visually similar to Nan.
CoCs have a bad reputation because many of them are written without a clear set of rules, often intentionally so that the authors have leeway to adapt the vague rules for new behaviors they want to ban. This can be considered a good thing (don't need to amend the CoC for what is "obviously" bad behavior that the original didn't account for) or a bad thing ("it's not obviously bad behavior, you just made it up so you can ban me via the CoC because you disagree with me").
I’m not sure what the person intended, but in my experience it’s not against the words directly, but against the violence that trans people face, which the tweeter likely sees as perpetuated by elite support of transphobia.
So in essence, the overprotective parents trade their kids' freedom for personal (and egoistical, tbh) peace of mind.
It took me a long while to see the LEGO-ness in it. It's so well finished that you can't tell it's LEGO. Certainly you know because you assembled it. But then again the pieces are so specialized that you lose a lot of the creativity that LEGO inspires.
I'm more or less a skeptic when it comes to most of what gets said / reported about UFO's / UAP's, but I will say this: David Fravor comes across as intelligent, sane, reasonable, and credible, and makes a moderately compelling argument that something exceptional happened out there. Now even he stops short, as I recall, of saying "it was little green men", but his testimony at least supports the idea that there's something there that's worthy of further analysis.

IOW, he isn't one of stereotypical, "frothing at the mouth", "true believer", "THEY ARE HERE" ufo cult types that might be fairly easy to dismiss for simple lack of credibility. He could still have been mistaken, or misjudged something, but he at least establishes a certain minimum level of credibility, to my way of thinking.
Tautologies are transphobic.

Because telecoms have this government supported oligopoly.

It's always been fascinating to me how we have this parallel infrastructure between the open internet and the locked down telecoms. The free for all that is the internet has evolved much more robust protocols, but the telecoms continue to operate in their own parallel problem space, solving a lot of the same problems.

They also fight tooth and nail to prevent being dumb pipes.
I'm a man and my neighbor is a man. I don't think we're the same. But thinking a born-woman and a trans-woman are different is wrong and oppressive? Transphobic is an easy word to flaunt to target people who have different opinions. I find it unbelieveable that someone could think impossible to make a difference while not having any problem with trans people. To label people transphobic for having this single opinion is itself bigotry.
All you have to do is zoom out 12 months and this looks like absolutely nothing.
There are a lot more people today, too. Of course war death tolls will be larger.
The problem is that “later on” often means “never” — and doesn't do anything to help with the damage before it happens. Abusive people are also commonly adept at finding ways to imply they did that without really doing so sincerely, as well as pushing boundaries so there's more chaff for them to hide behind (“<other person> joked about x, why is y worse?”).

What a CoC does is give clear expectations for everyone in the community. It makes the discussion easier because it's a simple “Don't do this, rule #3” rather than having to lawyer about whether something is a problem after things have already become heated. This doesn't solve everything, of course, but setting a baseline cuts out a lot of tedious lower-level stuff and helps set a climate which discourages bad behaviour by removing the lower level stuff which can encourage it. That guy who infamously used a porn image in a conference slide probably didn't just wake up one morning and decide to do that but was in a subgroup where sexualized comments & humor was normalized.
Do you find that unnecessarily adds latency for webhook event ingestion from the US? Seems like that would add a point of failure that makes me even more nervous here -- instead of a quick request to us-east-2, I have to send data across the pond.

This 'means to an end truth' should never be confused for the actual truth. QM and GR are both as true as we can make them. Newtonian mechanics is even more useful of a model, since it's much easier to work with, but it just isn't true at some point.

The lesson to learn from the current limits of physics isn't that you should construct whichever narrative best serves your propaganda and stop obsessing about the truth. The only lesson they should teach you in history is to not obsess too much about details that just can't be known (like the internal motivations or beliefs of historical figures) and instead to focus on what actually happened (like the impact their actions had).

Basically I think “trans women are trans women, and are in some ways different from cis women” in this instance is a motte-and-bailey with “we should be allowed to discriminate against trans women because they are different.” See: https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/11/15/chimamanda-ngozi-adich...
