oarsinsync’s IDE is sending each keystroke from his local computer to a cloud machine, where the source code lives. That source code compiles, executes, is tested in the cloud. Is this the setup you’re comparing with?

The theory behind this is sound: “When the size of the program is smaller than the data, move the program to the data.” In this particular instance, the code edit keystrokes are smaller than the total amount of source code. If the complete source code, packaged or compiled program has to be moved to the cloud anyway, it saves a lot of data transfer to just move the edits.

This assumes you’re running your application in the cloud, and the trade-off is that you need a reliable network connection, otherwise you might find yourself unable to edit when the network is down.
It is, but it's still too high in polyunsaturated fats, most of which are omega6s.

Imho, it's vital to reduce your omega6s as much as feasible. Given our lifestyles and diets, even most "good diets" are still too high in omega6s.
Many people would lose access to transportation of many different kinds. Some people might lose their jobs.

The Advantages of expensive AWS (et al) hosting is that much anymore if RaspberryPi clusters with this setup can handle high traffic sites. https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/website-hosting-on-raspberry-pi-4-with-mythic-beasts/ The only real advantages i think for AWS hosting (advantages which can be replicated in the PIs) is (1) Distributed Data centers (2) Ease of use. What are your thoughts?
It’s also probably very common that people give up and Amazon loses the sale.
Not sure if capability based access is indeed the future. If mobile OS are an example, I don't think too many people would like that actually.

OS are often pronounced dead. Maybe they won't be as relevant as today, but even that is questionable.

Same with programming languages. C is dead and it died many deaths. Javascript is also dead.

I worked with mobile code, also with the serverless kind. That certainly is not the future. No, sir, it isn't. MacOS may be the most endangered here, but even that is currently unlikely. Because there actually isn't a use case they cannot offer.

UWP on Windows was capability based. Not an OS, but the same principles applied. It was heavily restricted. It is also basically dead. But really dead, not like C or Javascript...
I recently make a vector search engine demo[0] that uses neural networks (CLIP) to encode text and image into vector. It runs surprisingly fast consider its hosted on a 2 core virtual cloud running both the text encoder and doing the vector similarity search over a 500k index results for both image and website links.

I recall it was almost axiomatic that the more expensive the content management system, the worse the URLs it produced.

I completely believe in the spirit of TBL's statement, and wish the internet had evolved to followed some of the ideals implicit there in. I recall that people took some pride in the formatting of their HTML so that "view source" showed a definite structure as if the creator was crafting something.

Now for the most part, URLs are often opaque and "view source" shows nothing but a bunch of links to impenetrable java script. I actually wonder when "view source" is going to be removed from the standard right-click window as it barely has meaning to the average user any more.
Personally, I don’t mind ads. I like buying things and like seeing things I don’t know about that I might want to buy.
I'm not aware of anyone doing this on purpose. It's bad for bookmarks, it's bad for SEO, bad for internal linking, and external linking.

URLs change because systems change.
> "Hard Practice" vs "Soft Practice" is the center of the argument, it is the point of contention.

If you focus on the difference, yes, it is the major difference between them. But if you focus on the main point (the overwhelming importance of 10 year of deliberate practice for one to become a top expert in a field), it is non-essential. There is no concrete empirical answer to how much exactly talent matters, even now.
Thanks, I'm going to look at Beeware. Struggled a while back trying to package a Qt app with Nuitka.
I'd assume they host some of their own packages plus it's probably the default for the Azure space. (just an assumption)
Nowadays there's a new meme in the form of "Tell me you're X without telling me you're X".

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/tell-me-without-telling-me

This is a good example of "Tell me you're a backwards country without telling me you're a backwards country." (if there's any insult meant, it's towards the leaders of that country bombing it to the stone age).

Understanding the fact that "pollution causes global warming" itself is an uphill task for humanity (For various reasons and vested interests).

> Because it's a programming language we're talking about, not a political party.

Categorically wrong. This is a programming language community that we're talking about. Haskell hasn't dropped out of thin air. It's the output of a mostly-voluntary community effort. To strengthen the community by making it open to people who have different backgrounds is to strengthen the language.

The real question is why do you only see racial diversity as a problem.
If you can remember any further info. about this I’d be very interested.

I've made a library that generates Typescript types from a PG database and I see a variation of this problem: since the "reflection" capabilities on views don't tell me about references in their source tables, I lose the ability to see where a foreign key points to. I normally use this to create nominal ID types, but in views I can just create strings or numbers.

I am trying to work around this but so far my only solution is to parse the SQL of the view definition and extract the information from there. I have it somewhat working but it's a bit complex for my liking..
But then it would be so pointless to require an FB account before you can use it at all. Wouldn't that be a pity.
I think it's less "passion" and "focus", more his position as the Linux lead giving him first-hand experience with change control at scale. He didn't need a product manager to gather requirements, because he already knew them.

That's basically what ItsMonkk is saying, but I think it's worth making it more explicit. Because a one-in-a-million engineer is not replicable, but a deep understanding of your users' needs is.
I wonder if "Energy Balance" would resonate better with more people than "CO2" or "global warming"?

Ignoring the technical details, what message would be most persuasive?
The context that gets forgotten when people bring this up is that the essay initially appeared in the New Yorker in 2002, where "eigenvalue" was spelled correctly. All the controversy about whether he understands incidental math seems to come from his book publisher having a less careful copy editor than the New Yorker.

Maybe people could blame him for allowing the error to appear in the book, 7 years after it had been corrected in the magazine. Shrug.
Lessons learned from our MedIAM project
Thanks for taking time to write this article. I think far too little people remember downturns and don't realize that there are multiple instances when pre-IPO valuations are actually higher than post-IPO. Down rounds aren't uncommon. Also, it's fairly common to see stock prices go down immediately after IPO for the first few months.

There’s nothing stopping people from taking a day off of the internet if they want.

Forcing everyone off the internet via government control is a step too far.
A bit of an aside, but if we were to want to work on these things as software engineers, what's a good way to do it?

I started looking for a new job recently and I'm considering jobs that work on these problems (not completely certain I want to, seems like a drop in pay and benefits), and so far the best I've been able to find are a couple of jobs in the energy and power industry that aren't really about working on climate change issues directly, it just might give me some domain knowledge for future work.

Charm with Menaces (2020)
What we need to stop doing is one thing, but what else can we do (paint the planet white?) is also important. If we can, with artificial structures, increase the amount of energy we radiate, then it should be easier to control than industrial production chains, which have long feedback loops that make their behaviour harder to predict
It's debatable at the moment, but if we continue along this path and positive feedback does take over, CO2 emissions would cease to be the main driver and would be eclipsed by positive feedbacks. In that case, direct intervention in the energy balance would be the only effective means to prevent further acceleration. Think of it like an object being pushed over - a small push at the start tips it over, but if it starts accelerating under its own weight, you need to catch it - not just stop pushing it over.
On MacOS, it seems that python 2 is still the default so the right command is :

Not at all. I still apply myself hardcore, even more so, because I can do it without the anxiety of uncertainty of the outcome. It's a strictly better way.
"When the next asteroid arrives, or when Cascadia slips, there's not a whole lot you can have done to make a difference."

Asteroids can be diverted, given enough warning.[1] There are theoretical proposals for doing so, but its never been tried.

Massive funding of testing, standby spacecraft with asteroid diversion capability, and increasing Earth's early warning system are all realistic things that could be done, were there a political will to do it.

Unfortunately, like COVID, I expect it'll take a devastating asteroid impact that costs millions of lives and trillions of dollars before the Earth wakes up to this threat.

Funny how this information is timidly reported by western medias. In France, where I live, it was pretty down on the homepage of Le Monde, a famous newspaper. Launches to the ISS seem more promoted.

Edit: it’s the first article on the BBC so it might be relevant only to French medias.

In fact, it’s an easier concept to grasp. That it also doesn’t put a finger in the oil industry also makes it more palatable to the politicians they keep.
Lots of good tools mentioned already in this thread, but one I don't see listed yet (that I use) is Apollo.io. It has lead list building, email verification and automation built in to a single tool that is very reasonably priced relative to the competition.

Have you thought about why that is? Not having passwords would make it much easier to use the internet. All that you need is to trust that no one will access someone's account without their permission. For some reason, no large site ever successfully managed to do that. I wonder why?
Adrian Selby's book Brother Red[1] contains a race of people, the Oskoro and Ososi, who appear to undertake trepanning and then plant things in their heads. At least that's how I imagined it!

> I think this shows an example of a big problem with StackOverflow compared to its initial vision. I remember listening to Jeff and Joel's podcast, and hearing the vision of applying the Wikipedia model to tech Q&A. The idea was that answers would continue to improve over time.

Interessting. As a random visitor this was something that never came to me from the way SO presents itself.

> For the most part, they don't. I'm not quite sure if it's an issue of incentives or culture.

I think it's more a problem of communication and UI. SO is not really the kind of site that animates people to answer or improve things. The overall design is also more technical and strange, not motivating and userfriendly.

Today for the first time I realized that there is a history for answers and an "improve"-Button that seems to allow me to change someone else answer. I only saw that because I expliciet looked for this because of this thread.

Wikipedia in the beginning was very vocal and motivating to engage all kind people to help and improve articles. SO never had that vibes for me. Additionally, it simply has not the interface that makes it simple to do this stuff. There are only this aweful comments under each answer, which are not really useful to discus an answer in all lenght and from all sides. Might be better to change them to a full fletched forum with some kollaboration editing and some small wiki-functionality or something like that.

I remember they tried to do some kind of wiki with high quality-code-parts, what happend to that?
Yeah but they only run on a single operating system, so all you've accomplished is going from O(n*2) files to O(n) which is good but it'll never be great like APE which needs 1 file.
Yeah I find it pretty hard to imagine how any black person in the US during the first half of the 20th century wouldn't develop a dissatisfaction with white America. Heck, Davis was personally beaten up by a cop just for being black.
Even if you accept "it must be completely impossible for students to access the internet during exam periods" as an important goal (it seems very extreme to me, but whatever) I'm astonished that cutting the entire country's internet off is the only way to achieve that.

What about cutting off just mobile data + school wifi? Everybody with wifi or a network connection elsewhere would be just fine. Still extreme, but dramatically less disruptive.

Plausibly you could limit this further, to block data only on phone masts near schools.

Still an ridiculous measure, but I'm really surprised that they've taken the most extreme measure possible instead of trying to limit the fallout at least a little bit. It's not like nobody is using it - https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/IT.NET.USER.ZS?location... shows that by 2017 more than 1/3 of Syrians had internet access, and rapidly increasing.
Right, that's a risk you take doing local::lib against system perl.

I will often use the system perl to bootstrap https://p3rl.org/Perl::Build which makes building -one- perl for local use easier than perlbrew/etc. - and then https://p3rl.org/App::plx for managing per project environments if I need that
> almost all computations within those limits are not physically realisable either, so how much significance does that objection actually have?

If some thing is impossible with arbitrarily large finite resources, it is still impossible with "practically large" finite resources !
That's why Turing / Gödel results really tell something fundamental about computing/proving; it tells everyone that they do not need to spend time solving an unsolvable problem on computers "as we know them".

But if you prove that something is possible in a your own magic computing framework, it remains practically useless until you implement it in the real world (an example of such a situation is the framework of "quantum computer" trying to solve prime factorization).
The problem is political and cultural, not technical. As long as powerful people want to maintain their power, they're going to exploit the earth for temporary gain.
Definitely not energy balance, since to a layman it sounds like we should stop having a civilization.
AWS is more than just rental hardware.

If you’re only looking at hardware, Rasperry Pis aren’t even the cheapest or easiest option. However, you still need some place to put them, some reliable bandwidth, someone to manage them, spares to replace the ones that fail, and so on.

In terms of hiring engineers to manage all of that, AWS is actually exceedingly cheap by comparison.
cut usually doesn't do what you want it to do. Most of the time you want to split on sequences of whitespace (which may or may not be tabs, it's not easy to tell from the output of the program). cut doesn't let you do this, which is a shame, as it would've been a sensible default. It also does weird things like print out the whole row if there's no instance of the separator on the line.

So because you can't trust cut to do what you want, you'll probably reach for something like awk '{print $3}' instead.
No electronic payments? We'd see most people unable to pay for gas or food, huge economic impact from that alone.

I suspect it isn't, especially for books. If someone goes to the lengths of looking for a specific book on Amazon I imagine they'll end up buying it there 9 times out of 10 at least. The amount of effort necessary to trawl through the search results for a few minutes is always going to be much less than the effort it takes to go to a different website, or to a retail store.
on another try, you might be right.

Your parent post didn't imply that one can reorder loads/stores in a way that breaks the abstract machine on a single core. Load/store ordering is generally a multi-core concern.

The x86 memory model is widely known to be stricter than that chosen by default for most other CPUs. It's for that reason that Apple's X1 had to introduce total store ordering for x86 emulation at speed.

Government or no, the online-exam business is the hot new space that text-book companies are pivoting too.

My impression of German media I read (FAZ, SPON, Welt, taz and a regional paper) is that nothing positive is being reported that is linked to China. I have the feeling that negative articles are highlighted and very visible (and receive many anti-China comments) while positive articles do not exist at all - and if they published, then there is little interest and only a few comments.

The biggest positive article in the last months was their landing on Mars. However, it received only very little attention. On "Welt" it was bombarded with anti-Chinese comments and then the comment section was closed.

I wonder why I realise this phenomenon. Perhaps it is my Confirmation Bias?

Just wanted to share those thoughts with you.
According to Apple, wireless headphones like the AirPods do support spacial audio. No idea where the author got the information they wouldn't.

Apart from that, I get how an audio engineer would think that way, but for me, and I suppose most music listeners, what's important is that the sound is great. And personally I really like spacial audio.
The control center wifi control always worked this way. It wasn't "altered", that is a primary feature of its functionality.

Apple gains nothing from your WiFi re-engaging. But many users do because, as another comment mentioned, people turn it off in control center because their connection is temporarily shit, or more likely just accidentally. Then they get to end of month and they have a monster cell overage.

Someone was using control center wrong (despite it very clearly indicating the use of the button). It's a learning experience.
Given the highly accurate nature of drone fire seen in the Armenian-Azeri war recently, I do not think "hugging the enemy" works any longer.
