I may be mistaken, but as a synth head, the stories I heard placed the origins of Techno, House, and the birth of Electronic Dance Musicin the decline the post Motown / Rock / Disco era. Early drum machines and rhythm machines, including the Roland TB-303 and TR-808 were not well regarded in the studio for music that was performed via traditional instruments. Many studios, producers, and musicians purchased these state of the art devices for several hundreds of dollars (equivalent to thousands, today), then sold them very cheaply to pawn shops and secondhand stores in cities, because few musicians liked they way they sounded. It was then the youths who picked these up cheaply that started using them on their own right, and embracing their untraditional sound.

I'm sure the musical education was a big factor, but I wanted to point out this other part of the story - it relates well to TFA. Most of us in the first world would scoff at using a 10" netbook with 1 GB of RAM, even if it were free. Similarly many musicians scoffed at using drum machine, even if were free compared to a costly studio drummer.

> Devices are also going out to Harvard Medical School, the University of Texas, and the Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies (a California lab focused on researching altered states) to study such things as Alzheimer’s and the effect of obesity on brain aging, and to refine meditation techniques.

> Once their Kernel helmets arrive, Boas and his colleagues plan to observe the brains of people who’ve had strokes or suffer from diseases such as Parkinson’s. They want to watch what the brain does as individuals try to relearn how to walk and speak and cope with their conditions.

As far as I understand the whole thing, the helmet is supposed to replace existing, clunky, not mobile version of brain scanners.

Nice approach to explaining an IPO with the narrative, but I think it would be even more helpful to start in the beginning of a share's life when the company is first incorporated, when shares are created from nothing and assigned based on ownership. Talk about Form D filings with the SEC when shares are sold to private investors. Why stocks/equities are even labeled as securities. What are securities and why are they regulated. How private shares are valued/traded. Really the difference between a private company and a public one with respect to shares/valuation/regulation.
Yup. Personally, I'm constantly being hit by CAPTCHAs. For some inexplicable reason, I sometimes have to solve several (5 or 6?) in a row before a site will let me in.

This particular example is 0, [1], which is easily seen by pasting it in the console.

There may be some edge cases I'm not covering here, but JavaScript passes primitives by value (strings, numbers, etc) and non-primitives (objects, arrays, etc) by passing a copy of the reference.

What this means is if you reassign the reference inside of the method, it will only affect that scope, because the reference itself is a copy. If you modify the properties of the non-primitive, it will be modified, because the copy of the reference points to the same non-primitive.

Since primitives are passed by value then any modifications are not reflected outside of the method.

To the other poster below, in JavaScript, const with an array (object, etc) simply prevents reassignment of the variable, the array can still be modified.
Bummer about Perl, because a stint with a slower machine taught me just how slow Python is. My Lua scripts were often done faster than Python starts up—even though the scripts were doing file i/o. So, for anything like personal productivity scripting, Python is bad. However Lua requires managing the runtime and modules—and I was thinking about dusting off Perl, since it's pretty fast and is just always around like Sh while not being garbage at data structures and code organization.
I really don't follow your thought process here. Can you expand on your objections?

io_uring can really be thought of as a generic asynchronous syscall interface.

It uses a kernel thread pool to run operations.
If something is blocking on a kernel-level it can just be run as a blocking operation on that thread pool.
This is cool, thanks! I'll check it out and probably add a link on startyourownisp.com.

"I think we can all agree that illicit drugs can cause damage to societies."

Abuse of drugs (whether legal or not -- remember, plenty of opioid abuse was perfectly legal) can be harmful, but that doesn't mean the aim should be trying to stop the use of the specific drugs that are currently illegal, or even of any drugs.

That aim is misguided, from a cognitive liberty standpoint [1].

The aim is also misguided for other reasons, but those are hard to disentangle from the implementation. For example, the reason of injustice when the drugs that are targeted for prohibition being associated with minorities, dissidents and the counterculture, while drugs associated with the wealthy and powerful being given a free pass.

It's also tied up with the injustice of the legal system, where the wealthy and powerful can often get off with a slap on the wrist in the rare cases they are charged, while the poor and marginalized are often forced to accept plea deals because they can't afford good legal representation even if they're innocent, etc.. which leads to a disproportionate number of minorities and marginalized groups in jail.

Not sure how you can divorce the reality of the implementation of the War on Drugs from its aims here.

[1] - By cognitive liberty I mean the right of people to decide what they put in to their body and what states of mind they can achieve.
Which is infinitely better then rapidly overheating and vaporizing and melting the reactor housing and spreading radiation which will stay dangerous for 200 years.
Closing the building off for 100 years might work fine, but that can't be the solution to every problem, it wouldn't be economically viable. Ostensibly simple matters like routine maintenance are very complicated propositions for fusion reactors; you can turn the reactor off but it will still be too radioactive for anybody to work inside. So you either need some sophisticated robotics to repair anything that might ever need repairing, or you have to consider the entire reactor to be disposable.

Of course, repairing things inside a fission reactor is no less nasty, but fission reactors are comparably much simpler and much smaller. Swapping a fission reactor out with a new one is comparably much easier than with a fusion reactor.
As someone who is depressed, founding a company is very low on the list of things I would like to do.

Reasons:

- it's practically impossible for me to be excited about any business/software idea/project/opportunity

- depression diminishes my productivity which is extremely important for a founder

- the instability from building a company creates a negative feedback loop with one's depression

I need stability and routine; I need to put in a lot of effort just to have a normal life and keep a job. Running a company becomes almost impossible in those circumstances.

That's strange. My impression came from his article about the Chamber of Guf where he talks about pure OCD, but it sounds like he's only read about it and never actually met someone with it.

I wonder if the disconnect is in taking the story in an idealistic way vs a practical way. Like sure, if you had someone for whom that works utterly when nothing else works then yeah, do that. But I don't think that's a realistic scenario.

> If this is actually true, which I highly doubt (I've interviewed people, too), your process is terrible at preselection. I've heard so much about this "programmer charlatan" that lies on his resume and ends up blowing up million dollar systems, but have yet to see any tangible proof.

I've seen similar. I wouldn't say 80%, but somewhere in the 20% range of people on phone screens. If I ask a similar modulo question that isn't obviously a rephrased FizzBuzz (i.e. "write a function that returns every 4th item in a list"), that percentage goes up dramatically. A lot of candidates memorize FizzBuzz without actually understanding what's happening and how to use it.

> This is self-contradictory: how/why would any open source project let someone that doesn't know fizzbuzz contribute to their codebase? I run a tiny throwaway open source project (~600 GH stars) and even my reviews are pretty stringent. This point of view is not consistent. It's like saying "I know people that ran in marathons, but couldn't even run for half a mile in my interview."

There are no time constraints, and no way to tell how much of their contribution is from their own knowledge and how much is copied from StackOverflow/other open source projects/etc. The point of view is consistent; I can't run a marathon, but I can walk 26 miles. That's fine for the local charity marathon, but it's not going to cut it if I want to do competitive marathons. The constraints and expectations are wildly different.
Smart contracts is a horrible name. The better analogy (which has been around for years) is that they are the digital equivalent of (snack and beverage) vending machines.

As with vending machines, they have their use cases, but they aren't lawyer "smart" and they certainly aren't legal contracts. I'm not sure how much trouble a better name would have saved everyone, but it might have done a better job of setting expectations.
I think you're missing the point. Let me be concrete.

I'm diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Sometimes I feel axnious and euphoric, other times depressed and lethargic, both at extremes noticably deviant from the average person. This has caused all sorts of turbulence and distress in my personal and academic life. Being diagnosed allowed me access to therapy and prescriptions.

There exist plenty of people who oscillate between distinctively high and low moods, but have never found themselves in serious distress because of it. Thus, they have not been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Whether or not they "are bipolar" is a subjective question that mainstream psychiatry doesn't seem to have an opinion on.
I was wondering if China and Singapore's wars on drugs have been effective. On one hand, Chinese online communities boast how drug-free their countries are. On the other hand, numerous researches show that harsh punishment does not necessarily reduce a crime. And of course, some also retorted that China had less drug problems only because there was no trustworthy stats.

Nonetheless, it's astounding that 2% of American adults are on cocaine and more than 10% of American population misuse opioid prescription while Americans wrote more than 190 million opioid prescriptions.

You're right - knowing where something is, is more or less just creating a form of map. But knowing who is where on that map, and when, is surveillance - it's classic PI stuff.

Many-core and networked computer systems fight indeterminacy. My networking algorithms would be a lot simpler if I could guarantee that everything operated in lockstep; the fact that I have to discard lockstep to get performance is because lockstep is a high-cost abstraction over a high-entropy (so, basically non-deterministic) underlying reality, not because indeterminacy is somehow inherently better.

It's a concession.
I've been looking at Bitnine AgensGraph and thus also Apache AGE. These are (related) extensions of PostgreSQL that use PostgreSQL to implement a complete graph database and Cypher query language. Interestingly you can even mix SQL and Cypher in the same statement.

This approach of extending PostgreSQL is very appealing to me. There is a great deal of value in the PostgreSQL stack that doesn't need to be reinvented just to deliver a graph database and query language. How much easier is it to adopt graph database techniques when it is simply an extension of database technology nearly everyone is already running? Conceivably one might find some future version of PostgreSQL RDS (and other cloud PostgreSQL services) delivers Cypher.
Good idea, but risky if not done right or not adopted by many people. You'd be increasing your specificity and therefore the ability to track you.

Being able to open files with io_uring is important because there is no other way to do it without an unpredictable delay. Some systems like Erlang end up using separate OS threads just to be able to open files without blocking the main interpreter thread.

I think one of the advantages of the General Fusion approach is that both what the heat gets transferred to and what bears most of the neutron flux (and hence gets irradiated) is the liquid metal, which is presumably easily replaced (and could presumably even be done incrementally while the reactor is live, since it's going to be flowing through a heat exchanger anyway)?

In my experience toxic companies will essentially force employees to give good feedback through either social pressure, incentives or threat of repercussions. You can see this quite clearly on Glassdoor where a bad review is followed by five very similar good reviews within a week for some companies.
Thanks for the tip; that's a really cool project. It looks like the documentation generator for it works on a single file at a time, and a single file defines a single service. I was thinking of something that works on the level of a system of interacting services. I want a tool that reads the API specifications for a group of services and documents the interactions between them. I'd like to look at service X and see that it emits message Y on queue Z, and then see which services read message Y on queue Z, jump to their documentation, etc. I think the AsyncAPI format is perfect to build on, though. I'll start there if I decide to take a hack at it.
High-Level Chinese Defection Rumored
Doctors are professionals. Part of the reason they're allowed to prescribe is that they have supposedly taken courses and proven themselves to be of such sound judgement and knowledge that we can trust them to gatekeep extremely technical poisons.

If you're telling me they can be so easily swayed by corporate messaging, and have been this way for a decade or longer, then we should scrap the apparently worthless MD degree and just let any old fart practice medicine because most people excel at internalizing the corporate branding that is supposedly the driving force behind modern medicine.

I mean that honestly. If the marketing dept of these companies are really running the shows and medical degrees count for nothing, then the sheer number of successfully treated patients shows that anyone who can listen to a pharma corp can prescribe drugs.

We can still have degrees for surgery and other hard skills.
Yup happened to me. The experience they wanted to provide couldn't not be scaled up.
"They'll run out of people to employ" is pure clickbait nonsense.

If they ever faced a labor shortage at current wages, they'd just raise wages. That's how it works.

But as they increase automation, they also might not even ever hit that shortage at current wages anyways.

(None of this is a comment on working conditions and whether they're good or bad... just that the idea of "running out of people" is utterly silly.)

The OP said: In my opinion, this attitude she's portraying is a dangerous attitude to have. This victimhood seems core to her identity. I'm not trying to shame the condition, I'm trying to say that the condition shouldn't become some core part of your identity.

So if you are a woman, it's not okay to say "My gender is an obstacle to my career success and it's literally crazy making." And if you do the more socially acceptable thing of chalking it up to a personal problem like depression, then some internet stranger is free to malign you and your presumed victim mentality.

If another woman tries to say "Hey, maybe she has a legitimate reason for feeling victimized and it isn't just some kind of neurotic BS" on a male dominated forum where the comment occured, she gets a pile on of downvotes and various replies that more or less boil down to "How dare you make such an observation!"

I wasn't looking for a fight. I made a comment as someone with firsthand experience of how frustrating it can be to try to pursue a career as a woman in a man's world. A zillion people are vilifying me for it.

Why do so many people feel some need to try to shut me down and act like it's a bad faith comment in violation of the guidelines?

The reactions to my observation are over the top. The observation itself is incredibly mild.

I think I'm done here. It is probably a waste of my time to keep responding to comments where there is some kind of presumed guilt on my part. It's all too easy for other people to decide that's evidence of how fighty and irrational and bad I am when none of that is true.

What's true here is that it's an overwhelmingly male forum and it's socially acceptable for millions of people to watch me starve and shrug and say "Not my problem" and it's not socially acceptable for me to say "I would like to stop starving and wish someone would help me figure out the super secret handshake to being allowed to earn a goddamned living. Please and thank you."

I'm done with this ridiculous nonsense for today.
