If it has been a few years since you looked at C# or F#, it may be worth a look again now. Lots and lots of optimizations have been added in the last 5 years, and you can even use SIMD intrinsics directly now. By some measures C# is now the best overall performing garbage collected language (Such as The Benchmark Game)
The orbital index isn't mentioned but should be. It's an incredible newsletter on the space industry.
TDD, when normalized for time spent writing tests, has not been found to be any better than the 'normal' way of writing tests afterwards. It's interesting how much of programming lore falls apart when you actually try to measure the impact.
More fun is still to come, when the audits come out.
There are meetings which should not be thought of as "meetings"

Labeling them as collaboration sessions or more social one-on-ones helps though.
> You misread the source then - peaks during sandstorms are 17 - 30 m/s² with 10 m/s² being the annual average.

Where on the page? The only wind speed related data I can see is this:

> Wind speeds: 2-7 m/s (summer), 5-10 m/s (fall), 17-30 m/s (dust storm) (Viking Lander sites)

Also m/s² isn't the correct unit for wind speed, since it's a unit of acceleration, not speed.
Factorio seems especially well suited to TDD. The core gameplay loop involves automating away manual tasks. So I have to imagine that the test cases leverage blueprints a lot, i.e., create a blueprint for a feature, pipe resources into it via conveyor belt, test output rates on conveyor belts.
That part in particular set the tone for this entire post for me. It convinced me that I could not trust the author to be intellectually or rhetorically honest, at which point I no longer see any value in this write-up. It also helped me read the rest of this post in the correct context.

"Many people are saying this. Note that I'm not saying it, I only say true things. But I want you to think it anyway."

Really?
That bill was about "propaganda" like VOA... which is mandated to provide pretty damn fair and accurate news by other laws. Do you really think it should have remained (technically) illegal to click this link: https://www.voanews.com/ ?

In any case, that law/amendment has nothing to do with the video in this post. The reason all these stations are saying the same thing is not because of the government, it is because they are all owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, and those who run that company wanted to push this message.

Honestly, the quality of "government propaganda" from VOA is better than what we get from Sinclair.

While I wouldn't be surprised by this at all, I also think the algorithm is so good that it generally just blocks out content you don't interact with. It's always pretty obvious when the algo bubbles up a new topic completely outside of my normal feed, and when I linger, I'll start seeing more.
I'm not a kernel developer, but I'm not sure if it's entirely accurate to call it an 80/20 split. Sure, Linus only merges new features during 20% of the release process, but as far as I can tell (again, not a kernel developer) most everyone else continues to work on new features outside of the merge window, and just submits them during that 20%, rather than spending that 80% only bugfixing.
I think this ignores the value of long-haulers who are reliable contributors but don't necessarily want to be in management roles. I could see an up-or-out environment without significant allowances essentially ending in an organization full of Peter-principled managers who would've been more solid contributors at their old positions.
Seems like adopting async/await throughout would accomplish the same benefits (letting you co-operatively yield whenever you want) while maintaining the performance of the state machine (since that's what async/await is in a single-threaded context).

> deciding which interests to send to the ad server

I was looking at their media kit[0]. They link to a presentation[1] which mentions that the ads are sent to the browser and then the browser itself picks the ones that should be shown to the user.

If this is really the case, then the browser isn't sending that information to the ad server.

Interestingly enough, this is almost exactly how ISPs do it when they really want to get your attention. A couple years ago I forgot to update an expired credit card that I used to pay my spectrum cable bill. One morning every DNS request resolved to their "your account is about to be closed due to nonpayment" page. As I also use my own DNS sever I was surprised by this, and sure enough everything going out of my network on 53 was being grabbed up by their CGNAT and sent to their DNS server.

Tech has (and other industries have) a characteristic turnover rate and people have all sorts of reasons to change jobs, so being OK with losing an appropriately chosen X% per quarter seems perfectly rational and appropriate.

I like the teams we have here, but I'm OK with losing about 2% of employees per quarter in the same way that I'm OK with it being snowier in the wintertime.

How would this even work? At best you might get a set of class/function stubs with some minimal logic. At worst what you'd have is a compiler that is actually a complicated, truly AGI brain, which could produce some truly awful code. In which case you've simply reproduced TDD's normal result: truly awful code.

Aside from that, to produce a program that did what is actually required would require test cases and functions that cover the set of inputs and outputs. This is trivial for mathematical functions, but impractical (or impossible) for more general applications (e.g. anything dealing with human inputs).
We have since deployed many nuclear reactors in space, with totally different reliability, so those should be used as reference. They can be packed on a rocket, launched, turned on and work for years unattended ( they powered societ radar satellites)

Cost is dominated by weight in space, and a large wind turbine needs hundreds to thousands of tons of concrete for foundations - are those going to be brought from Earth? Can you make concrete on Mars?
> Firefox performance today doesn't really leave a lot to be desired IMO

Sadly I recently left Firefox after having used it for 20 years (Phoenix/Firebird days).

The performance degradation was becoming too noticeable. I switched to Brave (of all things), but that's only because I could no longer fight the real performance that a Chromium-based browser has.

I hate doing this, because the last thing I want is a browser engine monopoly. That's why I started using Firefox in the first place, to help get rid of IE.
> A smart contract doesn't allow you to do that though

This is why smart contract is such a bad name. A lot of people have a complete misunderstanding of what a smart contract is. They think it can enforce things like a real-world contract, but "automatically". It's just a decentralized script and without real-world input through an oracle it is of course impossible for the contract to know whether a project is completed. There's nothing smart or automatic about that part.

Because all the examples you give are coded that way. You could have used any of numerous examples of explicitly observing Christians in media that aren’t WEPs, but that’s not what you went with

With online commenting, comments show up even before they have read the whole document which partly defeats the purpose. Often the comments are already addressed later in the doc.

With printed documents, the audience naturally brings the most important comments first, and many less important ones would never come.

I personally prefer to send documents by email. Everyone has their own copy in which they may put comments, but what comes back in the meetings are only good comments.
Wow, yet another GUI for https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt. What do you guys do that's any different?
Not to be facetious, but I referred to the feeling of having my needs taken care of because I know that I often am not a rational actor. If all we did was forage for nuts and shared them because we felt that everybody did their part, I would probably be very happy sharing those communal meals. When someone drives by in a huge yacht spewing diesel fumes and soot, the enjoyment I got from our humble communal meals is easily vanquished. The meal did not change in any appreciable way, but understanding that a huge amount of the resources we need to survive is wasted on an outsider's frivolous amusement leads to discontentment.

In practice, the worst extreme of this dynamic seems to be the use of pale-skinned models for advertising in areas where people have dark skin. The reasoning might be as simple as pale skin showing up brighter in print, but the outcome is otherwise perfectly healthy people getting body dysphoria.

The same can be said of centralized finance! Front-running is illegal and occasionally gets punished, but it still occurs all the time.

No system is perfect, and one should look at the trade-offs one incurs by operating under any given set of rules. We believe that a more diverse ecosystem contributes to a stronger financial system and a more resilient society, whether centralized or decentralized.
This is exactly what I'm raising. You describe the system as today. I'm talking about the article's proposal of implicit await. Today, async functions return a Future<T>. With implicit await described in the article, they return a T. So, in an implicit await world, how do I express the mixup function?
You should work harder on understanding what other people are saying. I've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt several times but your tone keeps getting worse.

> Why didn't the masterminds behind this scheme walk away with that cash? Because it was a mistake. Not a genius scheme being run in the shadows.

Please fet your basic facts right. Nobody in this thread is accusing IRON of being a ponzi scheme. IRON was a partially collaterized stablecoin. The quote about how non-collateralized stable coins require constant growth is from the founders of IRON explaining why they made IRON collaterized.

> So why isn't "the operator of the scheme" synonymous with "the central actor?"

Already explained in my last comment.

> You don't know what a Ponzi is and you're trying to save face, I get it

If you really thought you had an argument, you wouldn't feel the need to descend to this level.
It's more complex than that. There is front-running and back-running in DeFi, but it applies only to certain types of transactions. There also exist solutions to prevent most of it.

Regardless of front-running, you still get transparency. It's one thing to be front-run and know about it, but another thing to submit your orders to a black box where a company extracts arbitrary value from them and you don't know what goes on inside.
ISPs right now are freaking out that their very expensive solutions like Nokia Deepfield are seeing less and less.

Ten years ago you’d be right, but right now that business is dying rapidly.
Isn’t this only an issue if you actually want to cash out your $2 or whatever. The bigger benefit of Brave is that you can contribute money to websites or content creators that your prefer. This is like the “old” internet where ads didn’t care what content they were shown next to, giving much more freedom of expression on the net. Say YouTube thought your video joking about COVID meant they thought you deserved to demonetize your whole channel, we’ll now brave donations still allows you to make some sort of ad profit. That actually ads up for people from pennies from millions of people together. Cashing out for a few dollars a year is not really the intent of the system.

FPGA does not really offer advantages of accuracy, though it does offer advantages in time precision. This is important when putting it inside a C64. Of course a much faster CPU can also be used to handle real cycle accuracy in sync with the original clock.

Part of the sid sound comes from the non-linearity due to approximation in its design. For example the state variable filters are very non-linear on the 6581. It even differs significantly from each individual chip to chip[1]. The best software models I'm aware of are in residfp[2] and jsidplay[3]. After some work in octave I found the filter model can be recreated without the large lookup tables used in this software.

Of course getting the digital part correct is also important. There is a lot of documentation on this resulting from the decap [4].

Some features like bitfade, multiple driven bits in the wave corruption etc do not translate well to FPGA. They can be approximated with timers and lookup tables.

Since moving into town and getting my ipod stolen from my (possibly unlocked?) car, I habitually lock my car doors every time I'm getting out. Which is fine, except when I'm just running up to someplace and not actually parking. I locked myself out a few times before I got into a routine of very deliberately putting the keys into the same pocket every time and telling myself I have them.

Which is great, except for the time I got a phone call as I was leaving the car and forgot the keys in the ignition. Gotta stick to the routine for it to work!
Firefox is still largely C++ and Javascript and that's not going to change anytime soon. But it makes sense, because mostly you're adding or changing stuff that's already deeply connected with all the existing code.

I think you see Rust when there are really big projects that can be treated as a library. For instance the network team is writing their QUIC implementation in Rust – called neqo – and I can imagine that this was possible because it's low level enough and separate enough from the rest of Firefox.

It's of course also a resourcing question. For instance the download-manager code in Firefox is a big, big mess and it's not really owned by anyone. But it works, is safe, and handles a lot edge cases. Rewriting this thing (even again in Javascript) would be an enormous effort, and that's true for so many parts of the code base that might benefit from rewrites. A rewrite would be nice, but there probably will always be more important things to work on.
The issue with that is that LOL bots are laughably bad, and making them not bad requires a substantial investment. But something like what you describe is possible.

Is there a shortage of people with CompSci PhDs to staff universities and do research? Is there a shortage of people to present at conferences?

Just because you feel like cancel culture is cancelling people who don't deserve it, doesn't mean we need those people to fill open positions. Every time we make excuses for people like Matthias, we're filling a chair that could have someone else who's not toxic in it.

Not to mention: if we have a shortage of brilliant people, why aren't you asking how many brilliant people are driven out of the community by people like Matthias? What's the opportunity cost in brilliant people that Matthias represents?

If 2 or 3 people who could make comparable contributions to the community leave because of him, we're already in a net-negative situation wrt smart people advancing the field and community. Even if Matthias is twice as smart as the next best, it only takes a few more for him to be a net negative.

I remember one day in Boca I went out to the grocery store and noticed a curious deep round dent in the metal counter. "What's that?" I asked the cashier. He looked a little embarrassed, then a bit proud. "A bullet hole," he explained.

Boca is also where Gastón Aguirre lived (and maybe lives), the guy who went on national TV to criticize the Canadian tourist who made him world famous for filming his attempted armed robbery, defending it as "thinking of getting money for my son": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EIkCTkcrDA

When I moved to a sixth-floor walkup in Boca I discovered mushrooms growing from the ceiling where a hole was blown open in the roof. Later I learned that our downstairs neighbors were cocaine dealers, and their customers had robbed one of my roommates in the stairwell. I moved out not long after.

I agree that there's a significant difference between Boca, which was historically a slum but is now just a dangerous, poor neighborhood, and Villa 31 or Isla Maciel. But Boca, with its unbelievable levels of police corruption, its place of honor on lists of the most polluted places in the world, and its ongoing violent crime problem, is very different from Retiro, Flores, and Colegiales.
