Terms in computing are so overloaded that these days I try[0] and never correct anyone on how they use a term. Instead I ask them to define it, and debate off of that definition.

So instead of downvoting this guy for using different terminology - we can ask him what he means and just have a discussion.

Putting an old (5y, i5, 8gb) half broken laptop behind the TV was the best personal technical decision I've made ever.

You are expected to believe that what a movie offers is an idealized, exaggerated or just plain fantastic take on real life. Examples exist that cannot tell reality from fiction, but that's generally the gist of it.

However, much more people are willing to believe that what they see in social media is real. Now think of how many people are feeling "they must be doing it wrong", with that in mind.
Yes, labels are prepared for any type of criticism. The sad part is that there is some genuine anti-semitism out there (same is true for racism) and lumping this acusation with any criticism will weaken a real cause (again, same is true for racism).
> With the possible exception of Rust, safety always had performance implications.

This is common piece of received wisdom, but I don't think it's held up well over the last decade: both Java and C# have extremely well-optimized runtimes that perform admirably after an initial startup period, and (I believe) Swift compiles to native code with many of the same optimization advantages that Rust has (e.g., simpler alias analysis).

At the same time, C++ has seen a proliferation of patterns that are slightly safer, but perform miserably at scale: smart pointers (unnecessary lock contention), lambdas (code bloat, more I$ pressure), templates (I$), &c. C avoids most of these, but C written by "clever" programmers has similar pitfalls.
I self host, but I wish I would not have. I wasted a lot of time on managing services.

I mean no disrespect to the maintainers, but am I the only one who doesn't find lists like this particularly useful?

They're the kind of thing I used to bookmark, thinking that I'd come back to it at some point when I wanted to learn more about X (containers, networking, etc), but I'd never return.

I think the problem is that lists like this _feel_ good but aren't useful. They feel good to write and good to read, because you feel productive. But they don't actually fit into any flow - a learning flow, a problem-solving flow. They're just productivity porn.
If one of the edge cases the author mentions pops up they could deduce from the context of the message that you didn't personally send it at that moment. Short of lying about it and claiming it must have been slow to arrive, I'd say you were caught.
Another case where writing your numerical algorithms can be faster than using the standard lib is if you know you're only working on a small subset of the possible input domain and can write a highly specialized function.

For example, a certain function may take arbitrary dimensional complex matrices as input. However if you know that you will only be passing in 3x3 Real positive semidefinite matrices you can probably write a faster function that only works on those matrices by using all that extra information you have. In Matlab I've gotten order of magnitude speedups over the standard functions by rolling my own highly specialized functions.

What's the story here? These platforms and most social media/news outlets are either owned by Jews or have deep financially vested interests from Jewish VCs (yes, including TikTok). Of course you're going to be silenced on their platforms. Anyone getting in a kerfuffle that this is a topic point that can't be brought up isn't doing themselves any favors.

It's complicated. Here in southwest, we have suitable (clayish) soil for building adobe with all over the place. Very little transportation in terms of miles compared to lumber, bricks etc.

However ... extremely labor intensive and compared to stick framing, relatively slow. So, despite its local-ness, huge thermal mass and excellent karma, adobe loses out and stick-framed OSB sheathed things that look like adobe win.
Function application pipelines and function composition are closely related. Here's a "pipe" in Haskell:

\x -> h $ g $ f x

At a certain point you realise that in many cases seeing the `x` is not just useless but needless visual noise. The following is identical and more readable once you've internalised composition:

h . g . f

And this extends to a cute trick in which, if you need to explicitly provide that data to begin with, you can do this:

h . g . f $ x

I'm now working with Haskell having previously come from PHP and JS/TS. Composition is more readable, it's just harder to get started with because it's different to what you're used to.

As for the "geek out" comment, of course, I enjoy programming for the intellectual sake of it. I'm not product-driven. Don't make the mistake of thinking everyone's the same as you, nor that of thinking there aren't benefits to being so intellectually-motivated. I don't know if it's intentional but your comment comes across as rather self-righteous.
No it doesn't.

> In Judaism, "chosenness" is the belief that the Jews, via descent from the ancient Israelites, are the chosen people, i.e. selected to be in a covenant with God.

> This view, however, does not always preclude a belief that God has a relationship with other peoples—rather, Judaism held that God had entered into a covenant with all humankind, and that Jews and non-Jews alike have a relationship with God. Biblical references as well as rabbinic literature support this view: Moses refers to the "God of the spirits of all flesh",[4] and the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) also identifies prophets outside the community of Israel. Based on these statements, some rabbis theorized that, in the words of Nethanel ibn Fayyumi, a Yemenite Jewish theologian of the 12th century, "God permitted to every people something he forbade to others...[and] God sends a prophet to every people according to their own language."(Levine, 1907/1966)

> The Mishnah continues, and states that anyone who kills or saves a single human, not Jewish, life, has done the same (save or kill) to an entire world. The Tosefta, an important supplement to the Mishnah,[5] also states: "Righteous people of all nations have a share in the world to come" (Sanhedrin 105a).

> Almost every advancement in construction is small enough for someone to carry

> Each advancement fits within a simple construction system.

Powerful idea.
The average cost per square foot for new construction is between $100-$155 in the US. That might be a bit low considering current lumber prices though. So a 1600 sq/ft house would be between $160K-$248K.
I think they're talking about software development, not running functions.
At very small scales, this is already done with wood framing. There are vendors that will send out a pre-cut framing package with every piece of wood cut and marked, and even stacked in the right order for fairly optimal assembly.

The trouble is that most house plans are not put together to a sufficient level of detail for this to work - contractors rely on all kinds of field decisions/adjustments.
As a kid in a car, when I stuck my arm straight out the window at speed, it got pushed backwards (in my frame) by the airflow. Keeping the arm rigid took effort. If I tilted the front of my hand in a clockwise direction, my arm was pushed upwards. It took more effort (rigidity) to stop that considerable force.

That's the observation. Clearly my rigid arm/hand was accelerating some air downward. Like a gun accelerating a bullet, there's a recoil (but a continuous one). That's Newton: conserving momentum. Maybe not a complete explanation, but it's the bulk of one.

It seems to me... people will spend a lot of money to get a generic, boring, mass produced version of what their parents generation thought was luxurious or classy.

> because dimensions are standard, and consistency is pretty good, you simply make sure that if you have a cut of a standard piece, you need the other half of it over there. There's just very, very little waste.

They also operate at a scale such that if they need an oddball length of some material, the lumber mill is happy to supply it cut to that oddball length since they are buying it by the railcar.
>Now you might be thinking OPE is only useful if you have Facebook-level quantities of data. Luckily that’s not true. If you have enough data to A/B test policies with statistical significance, you probably have more than enough data to evaluate them offline.

Isn't there a multiple comparisons problem here? If you have enough data to do single A/B test, how can you do a hundred historical comparisons and still have the same p value?

Partition with the mSQL database on filled up; I moved it to /tmp. On a Solaris box. Which rebooted some weeks later.
Maybe I am too cynic but what we are really talking about here is causal inference for observational data based on more or less structural statistical models.

Any researcher will tell you: this is really hard. It is more than an engineering problem. You need to know not only how to deal with problems, but rather what problems may arise and what you can actually identify. Most importantly, you need to figure out what you can not identify.

There are, at least here in academia, only a limited set of people who are really good at this.

Long story short: even if offline analysis is viable, I doubt every team had the right people for it, making it potentially not worthwhile.

It is infinitely easier to produce a statistical analysis that looks good but isn’t, than one that is good. An overwhelming amount of useless offline models would, statistically speaking, be expected ;)

For a few years I used Pocket (getpocket.com) - as a single-click way to save articles for the web. Then, many months later (or even years later) I'd go on a batch reading spree.

This is a commendable approach.

Computation is a general, abstract and incredibly useful idea disconnected from any particular model of computation (programming language).

Different languages are just different models of computation and have different (desirable, or undesirable) semantic properties independent from their (trivial) syntactic properties.

It's this sort of angry dogmatism which prevents people from talking about programming language design.

Not for a second do they pause to think their own understanding may be limited.

There is a big difference between saying "your argument is terrible or infantile or whatever" and saying "you are such and such", I don't think that's hair splitting at all and I also don't think that the guideline you have referenced applies in this case either, but whatever you are the moderator so there is no point in even trying to argue.

But perhaps that's exactly where we need investment - to figure out a way to apply automation to adobe type building?

I worked for a company back around 1999 that used MS Access to do the entire companies payroll. Including the CEO. Once I was awoken at 1am because payroll wasn’t running. In my sleepiness I accidentally manually committed a few database values (that I had never touched before) that gave the executive team 0.00 paychecks. Not a single exec including the CEO noticed for about 6 weeks.
I'm not sure about the state of Xamarin Forms these days, but back when I worked with it a few years ago even the sample apps had memory leaks on iOS. I agree that conceptually it was amazing, as was Xamarin itself. If Forms doesn't have leaks these days it would definitely be a great way to build cross-platform apps.

Like ac29 pointed out, wash sales only apply to losses. The motivation for the wash sale rule in the first place is IRS doesn't want you to be able to use a paper loss for tax deduction and let you maintain the same stock position.

Tax gain harvesting is similar, but the opposite of tax loss harvesting in some sense, because instead of a loss, you are taking a gain in a low income year. IRS doesn't care if you are generating capital gains, because for most people with stocks (read: not making low income) it increases your taxes owed.
Unless you're in prison for murder or mayhem, it's hard to say anyone is a "failure."

How do you reason that people have the (presumably absolute) right to alter than bodies however they please? How do you justify that claim? It makes very specific assumptions which are very problematic. For example, do you have the right to lobotomize a perfectly healthy brain? It is immoral? Can you say you have the right to do something immoral? How about altering your uterus during pregnancy to prevent nutrients from feeding the child?

I think it's pretty obvious that right implies morally acceptability. You can't claim to have a right to something evil. (The reverse is not true. It is morally acceptable to own a Tesla, but you don't have the right to one.) Alterations can be harmful and any harm that is not a justifiable side effect is by definition immoral. That it's your body does not somehow negate the immorality of self-harm. Indeed, direct self-harm is even worse morally than harm of others because it is in direct opposition to one's own good (arguably, harm of others is also a form of self-harm, specifically harm of one's character and will and habitus, of one's intellect because of the harm of one's reasoning faculties it entails, and harm of the common good). So you cannot say you have the right to self-harm. This is just a strange consequence of the incoherent ideology of absolute autonomy.

Now, if you have, say, a defect in your body that is preventing the proper functioning of your body, then we may correct this defect through intervention. This is restorative, that is, it seeks to restore the function due to the body by virtue of how it ought to function. This is the basis of medicine.

Another false view that can nudge people toward the view that any modification is acceptable is metaphysical materialism, also incoherent. In that case, crude metaphors between artifacts and living things are elevated to the status of the truth and since it doesn't matter what we do to an artifact per se. We can modify a computer any way we wish because there is no fact of the matter about what a computer is or how it should be apart from human intent. It is just a collection of things arranged in a particular way incidentally that puts them in a series of incidental causal relations, but there is no inherent tendency for these things to exist in these relations and no accounting for one in terms of the others except through the lens of human intent. Living things aren't like that.
