So, "inalienable" I can understand.

"Bestowed by their Creator" starts leaning very heavily on a specific religion's doctrines, and given that there is no religion which is universally adhered to by all persons, dominant in all nations, or indeed acknowleging that "no religion" is the belief of a substantial portion of the population, then regardless of the legacy of the phrase, it's not especially useful in discussion and to me seems to obscure more than it reveals.

Could you choose an alternate phrasing?
This is commonplace. It's called a no-show job. (Yes I get the joke. Just saying)
I'm kind of scratching my head at this. Typically, for data to be useful, there needs to be some dimensionality to the data and a way to make sense of it. There's really no way to escape the underlying structure of the data if you want it to be useful.

Can you elaborate a bit on some example use cases?
Anyone who is interested in these algorithms know what these single letters mean. This is very readable.

"The CDC and FDA have issued an unusual evening joint statement, which pushes back on Pfizer's announcement that it will seek approval for a third shot (second booster).

"Americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a booster shot at this time,"

The news will continue to post stories and think pieces about new covid variants for several years knowing they'll get clicks.

This information whiplash from one set of experts and then another set of experts disagreeing with the first set, 24 hours later in the news cycle is gonna happen more and more.

Hopefully those that are vaccinated can move on with their lives, without boosters and without having to vaccinate their young children.
I was talking about MBAs, but find your idea to be logical and likely. AI/human hybrids where humans make decisions based on AI processed information.
For business and business people.

Julia's target audience isn't "business" or "business people", although there's no reason you couldn't use it for that purpose.
I guess, but I think that behavior falls under a dark pattern of employment.

I'm not saying you can't introduce new ideas into your organization, but this is where the politics of development comes into play. You need to get buy-in from your team and management, otherwise you're intentionally hurting your organization.
I can understand World War 1 but these alliances of alliances with new names I find impossible to follow.
Probably the best way to go is to write native GUIs for each OS. That means win32 on Windows, Cocoa on MacOS, and X11 on Linux. win32 and X11 are just C APIs, so those are easy. On Linux you'll need a widget toolkit, such as GTK or Qt or WxWidgets (or many, many more!). MacOS is a bit more complex (the native APIs are exposed as Objective-C APIs), so you'll probably want to wrap your app in an XCode project with all of the GUI built in XCode.
Well, a considerable number of people in the Clojure programming community are often people, who developed in Java or C++ for one or two decades and sometimes people how have to switch between several languages. Most that I have talked to love Clojure above all else and can see the things not contributing to the solution of the problem at hand. Static types are at the top of the list of things that contribute almost nil and cause a huge amount of development overhead everywhere. It sometimes seems in these advanced languages, static types are there so the programmer makes the job of a compiler (easier) or that you can write an academic paper, where static typing is almost a must to get it into a journal for some reason. My colleague gave a really in depth talk/ Q&A about Clojure and touched on static types at length. I think, it could be interesting for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UoIfeb31UU

Thanks for the link! The article feels a lot closer than the headline/first two paragraphs to what I actually see going on.
And people a couple of days ago downvoted me because I expressed an opinion of why I would not use Open 3D Engine even if it's open source... Fuck Amazon
I really love Scala for all of these reasons, it also has the benefit of being used frequently in industry (big data, etc).
It's all about matching the language of the literature in your domain. If you don't work in a domain that uses those conventions, you shouldn't use them. If you do, you and your colleagues should recognize it.

If you're branching out into other code, you can always ask Julia itself what a particular character is — just paste it into a help prompt at the REPL:

help?> 𝒜
"𝒜" can be typed by \scrA<tab>

julia> '𝒜'
'𝒜': Unicode U+1D49C (category Lu: Letter, uppercase)
The efficient way to do it is to go to clubs or parties, chat with a bunch of guys, get numbers or social medias, and then later text them links to your OnlyFans page.

Girls can easily clean up and grab about 20-30 guys a night like this.

Later you can try to go after the whales by going on 1 on 1 dates and making them special offers for higher tier content.
Hopper was making a bit of a different point - you need to tailor your communication to your audience.

In this case, if the developers involved are assumed to know the math already, concise is probably for the good. If you are trying to teach the algorithms to a mathematically unsophisticated audience, it's a different story.

If I'm describing the same concept to a) a group of undergrad students, b) a group of mathematicians and grad students c) a group of software developers or d) a room full of execs - I'm going to do it differently in each case, including notation and emphasis.
> discriminate against students with disabilities.

As someone who actually has learning disabilities (ADHD, dyslexia) this definitely isn't universally true. I have yet to complete a degree, but the most progress that I have ever made was in one was almost completely thanks to eproctoring. I had virtually no anxiety because I was in the comfort of my own home, and couldn't over-hear worrying discussions other students were having prior to the exam. It almost a complete 180 from every other examination experience that I've had.

I had a few courses which required on-site (Pearson Vue) examination, and I experienced far more anxiety (by virtue of experiencing none at home).

I can certainly understand how certain (potentially the majority of) disabilities could face discrimination, as described by the linked article, but this is worded as a blanket statement.

> Want to tell Fight for the Future about your eproctoring horror story? We’d like to hear it.

I'd prefer to submit my in-person horror stories. I have more than a decade of them.
The free sample of https://leanpub.com/algebra-driven-design is a much more practical and fulfilling read, compared to the vagueness of the linked promotional material.

It's also a matter of knowing your audience. All due respect: but this looks like code intended for people familiar with the relevant math, for whom such variables are very familiar.

Personally, those 'strange letters' make it more readable, because that's how the mathematics are written.

> It makes me feel like a grouch to complain about the uber-popular, widely loved thing but this intertwined superhero universe exhausts me. I don't want to have to watch three previous movies and two TV shows to fully enjoy the movie that's in front of me. So I watch a lot more limited series TV instead... and maybe that's just fine?

To me, this is like complaining that you don't want to have to read the Fellowship of the Ring to fully enjoy the Return of the King.
Also its such horse shit. Surprised someone like him said something like that. Nothing much has come from this "l'art pour l'art" approach, because as it turns out you need to make money from films to keep the industry running, first and foremost. When you have a large industry, ideally locally concentrated, you also have a large talent pool of the best of the best actors, directors, writers etc. Sometimes this then results in art, but usually not.

If you don't have a large talent pool fuelled by financial prosperity, you lack the prerequisites to create works of the highest quality.
The majority of the commandments are not rights but restrictions, the "thou shall not"s. Even the positively-phrased commandments are obligations ("honour thy father and mother...").

These are not rights.
> who developed in Java or C++ for one or two decades

Right, this is exactly my point. People think these languages (especially as they were a decade or two ago) are representative of statically typed languages.

> Static types are at the top of the list of things that contribute almost nil and cause a huge amount of development overhead everywhere.

This is your dogma, not an established fact.

I'm glad you like Closure; no doubt it's a fun, useful language. It's probably even better than Java or C++ for many things. I'm only saying if you try different languages you might see that there are tradeoffs in features. You might still think Closure is the best, but you might at least understand why people appreciate static types.
It's wanting access to a single serial port, that should have nothing to do with location.

On Linux (on eg a pinephone or thinkpad) that would be adding the sandbox user to the dialout group (or to restrict it to a single port, creating a udev rule and adding the user to a special group.) Furthermore, having a closed app for this instead of some standard protocol (we have dozens) is completely ridiculous.

This is a great example of two massive failures in the status quo for smart phone OSes and how they've been a regression in terms of privacy and security.
Why Whitehurst is stepping away from IBM
IMO C# is picking up a lot of small things that make it incrementally better than it was before, and at some point it's not worth the hassle to go to F#. F# features are gradually added to C# so C# developers have time to pick them up as well.

You cannot add the best features of F# to C# without making it a fundamentally different language. You're not gonna make C# into a type-inferred FP language by bolting on some random half-understood bits anymore than you can make a cat jump better by gluing rabbit legs onto it.

It's the core paradigm and philosophy that makes it great, and if anything, what I've seen hold it back from its potential is insufficient support requiring essentially importing C# idioms into the language just to interop with existing libraries.

Not any more so than other forms of energy consumption. If anything, Bitcoin incentivizes the use of clean renewable energy. https://niccarter.info/topics/

Bitcoin is both undemocratic AND is not a "vote with money" type of system. Governance is unrelated to who holds it. https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information/governance.html

That's a feature.

The fact that they even allow development of any software without reserving the right to claim ownership puts it leaps and bounds ahead of Google's policies they force on their employees.

They used to have a ridiculously heavy handed process where you submit your personal project for review by a group of people who would respond with "No, we want ownership of this project, it is ours now" or "you may work on it and we probably wont claim ownership unless the project varies at all from what you described or we change our mind".

I think you are only seeing one side of the issue here. Getting drugged out of your mind and telling strangers your mother maiden name and the name of your childhood pet is just not that common of an occurence. The rare lost $500 may be a worthwhile price to pay, to be able to access your money in a pinch.

Now when we get to 4-digit sums, the balance starts to shift to caution.
It's funny how they talk about how long the battery lasts when the OS doesn't show you that information.

This article is missing so much. He keeps saying F# is the best but doesn't describe anything about the language. He discussed the criteria he was using but didn't say anything about how F# excels in these criteria.

It feels more like an introduction section than a whole article.
> I think it’s ideological

Does this sentence mean anything?
Why would I want to enable it later? When I deploy production they ave enable_destroy. It's the same resource all the time and it must not be destroyed.

When I want to deploy a test system the resource can be destroyed after I am done.

Of course this is not really elegant code. It violates DRY, I need to make sure that my test resources have identical configuration as my production resources, except this one attribute.

Maybe your use case is different. I never change the prevent_destroy attribute during the lifetime of the resource.
> If you want to personally pick up a programming language in order to become a better coder in whatever other languages you use, F# is the best overall teaching/coding language you can find.

Great, we're back to this nonsense (also promoted by Haskellers) right off the bat. The best way to learn the language you use is to learn the language you use, period. If you want to be good at C, learn frickin' C. No, F# is not going to help.

Certainly if you just want to learn about "functional programming", yes, find a relatively completist FP language that that looks easy to learn (F#, maybe - Java, nope), and you'll find it easier to learn other functional-programming languages after that. It's also a good idea to learn new programming languages in general, just to expand your career potential and also make better decisions about what to use (if and when you are ever allowed that choice...).

Actually, if you want to learn one language that will make you better at all others? Assembly. Yeah. This is not because Assembly is The Greatest Thing Ever, but because you'll understand the magic behind the curtain a lot better, and be a lot more immune to the incessant nonsensical daily hype around programming languages. For bonus points, learn to write your own compiler/interpreter (but don't feel compelled).
Rollback the wifi driver update of course.
If there were F# implementations without .NET I would have used it a lot more.
That is a good point about the vocal minority and this is a valid argument. On the other hand, I wouldn't consider the amount of code that was written in a language to be an indicator of good design (that usually saves work/ lines of code) or other qualities. I find, I solve the same class of problems better with Clojure instead of e.g. C# or Java or even Python (when not some SysAdmin stuff written for and with Python in mind - basically a DSL for the specific task).

Haha, so true.
They reference future models having enough performance to be serious gaming machines, but in my experience the main reason Macs lose out on games is because Apple stops supporting older technologies very quickly, and many games rely on those. A good example is the recent end of 32-bit support, which removed about half my Steam library.

Systemantics Quotes
Ordinal preferences are fundamentally wrong, because they arbitrarily assign equal weight to preferences that are not equal. For example, if I am indifferent between two candidates, and a ranked voting system forces me to choose one over the other (randomly), while you love one and hate the other, it is undemocratic for my weak preference to have the same weight as your strong preference. Such a system is less likely to find the most representative candidate than one which takes that strength of preference into account.

> Again, the fundamental problem with cardinal voting is simply that there's no intuitive, easily agreed-upon meaning for what cardinal values even mean.

Cardinal values are perfectly meaningful. They can be interpreted as expressions of ordinal preference for probabilities of different outcomes, for instance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann%E2%80%93Morgenster...

For example, if I prefer Strawberry ice cream over Chocolate ice cream, and Chocolate ice cream over Garlic ice cream, and am given the choice between:

- A box that definitely contains Chocolate
- A box that has a 50/50 chance of containing Strawberry or Garlic

I would choose the safe bet of Chocolate, because my preference for C>G is much stronger than my preference for S>C. By varying the probability and making the choice again, we can estimate the ratio of the strengths of my preferences between the three options.
I saw this on Twitter yesterday. As a datapoint, Google's policies on this stuff are quite enlightened by comparison. There are two paths people can take. One is to create an open source project. I started a game (then got distracted by other things), and A/B Street[1] also took that path.

The other major route is the IARC program[2], in which the game author owns the copyright. A friend of mine did The Shepherds Rock under that policy.

All this is to say that the policies around these things vary widely even within FAANG.

Honestly I don't think my current job is ethical. Up until a few months back it seemed to be doing fine, but changing priorities resulted in it crossing quite a few lines. Basically the organization has gone in the direction of developing dangerous/toxic assets which may be fine in how their products are currently being used, but the underlying technology can be misused quite easily. With new management there's much more of a profit motive where I could see tech getting applied to use cases which would actively harm people. I wouldn't be surprised if within a few years the company is acquired, so there will be even less control on how data and technology gets used in the future (despite what management may claim). I'm certainly not inspired by the regularity of proposals of implementing unethical ideas.

When I was able to see the direction that the company was shifting I gave a heads up to other coworkers on the project, started job hunting, and informed management that due to their choices I refused to work on anything associated with one of their products. I half expected them to say "no, you have to work on X" at which point I would have resigned. Since then they've toed the line, but I am not assisting that particular product line in any meaningful capacity.

So, why am I still around? Job hunting is exhausting. I've seen good roles with a good fit and gotten no response, I've followed up on others and refused below-market rate pay-ranges, etc. I almost left a few months back for another role, but there was a lack of work/life separation in an otherwise very interesting position. Perhaps I'm being overly selective or perhaps the more ethical roles that appear to fit simply require more experience, but I plan on continuing to monitor what's out there.

Much of the energy drain when heating/cooling a home is the fan to blow the air. These days, keeping the fan running is quite efficient. Turning it off, then putting in a large draw to get it moving again is expensive.

So at least part of the efficiency comes from not restarting the fan repeatedly.
The fact that is considered worth of having an article, while other issues in the real world don't, shows everything that's wrong with wikipedia.

Nice. The resulting graphics style reminds me of a Short Hike, which is a family friendly bite sized 3D adventure and exploration game. I'm not affiliated in any way, just enjoyed the game with my kid. It has a nice balance of story, challenges, and some platformer action. https://ashorthike.com/

So, in other words, build in all the parts of the modern banking system into crypto, which was specifically designed to be decentralized without a single arbiter of the correctness of transactions. Talk about the worst of all possible worlds...

At the end of the day, there is a fundamental judgement call when it comes to disputes: was the product "substantially not as described"? who has better evidence? etc. Once you put an arbiter in the middle, making this decision (which, again, I argue is an essential point of the modern financial system) the entire raison d'etre of crypto goes away.
Well, GTP-3 isn't open source, yet the Twitter-sphere was ecstatic about its code generation features.

It isn't even new at all [0], [1], [2] - it's just getting exposure because people start actually using it.

GPT-3 still forms the basis of Codex, which is the basis of CoPilot. None of these are Open Source and even if they were - what exactly do you think that would change? The models are black boxes, they are too big to even run on consumer level hardware, let alone train or finetune and the code of CoPilot is most likely just API calls, glue code, some post-processing and integration into VS Code.

In short, no I don't agree that an open source product would've helped with people's opinion and it would've been irrational even, because there'd still be no difference in the core functionality and what people are complaining about.
