This looks like sea-lioning to me. This thread and the news are filled with examples.
I mean this is the definition of a strawman argument. Whether it's 10 or 20% down payment is not that significant. Even 5% is un-affordable.

The median sale price of a home was $347,000 last month (0). 5% down on that is $17,350, accounting for closing costs you're going to need around $24,000 in cash to purchase a home.

Which isn't all that much money, except if you consider that it's more than 1/3rd of the median family income (1) and nearly 3 times the median household savings balance (2).

The takeaway from these numbers should be that swathes of people cannot afford homes.

It seems well intentioned, but I'm not surprised at all about the outcome. I don't think you can expect the institution to implicate themselves like that. You have to realize that preventing legal and financial liabilities is the #1 priority for institutions. Unfortunately this includes when they are wrong. Even if the employees are "good" their lawyers will advise them against providing any details like that and most are afraid of retaliation. Anyone asking questions like that is the enemy to them. This type of behavior is bad for society but fully expected giving the incentives and consequnces of telling the truth.
> Note that no combination of any of the faster implementations of Python + Numpy libraries has ever been used at the most demanding level of scientific computation. That has always been Fortran, with some C and C++, and now Julia.

This still seems like an overstatement, but maybe it depends on what you mean by "most demanding level." I work on systems for the Rubin Observatory, which is going to be the largest astronomical survey by a lot. There's a bunch of C++ certainly, but heaps of Python. For example, catalog simulation (https://www.lsst.org/scientists/simulations/catsim) is pretty much entirely in Python.

Take a look at `lsst/imsim`, for example, from the Dark Energy collaboration at LSST: https://github.com/LSSTDESC/imSim.

Maybe this isn't the "most demanding" but I don't really know why.

> But if A and B are numpy arrays, then A + B will calculate the elementwise sum on a single core only, correct? It will vectorize, but not parallelize.

That's correct, but numba will parallelize the computation for you (https://numba.pydata.org/numba-doc/latest/user/parallel.html). It's pretty common to use numba's parallelization when relevant.

Technologies like TypeScript are still dependencies that require transpiling to vanilla JavaScript and add to the bundle size. While typescript is becoming more and more common (for good reason) it still is effectively a workaround that compensates for the unergonomic-ness of the browser environment. You could make the same argument for frameworks like Angular, React and Vue.

If WebAssembly replaced js, then newer, more efficient browser languages could be invented. Like a new implementation of typescript could be created that is statically compiled and more efficient. All of this transpiling from x to js and y to css would be unnecessary.

So apparently most of the pro-Modi commentators are going with the narrative of - Congress also did it, so its ok.

No its not ok. Congress is not the one in power and frankly I don't give two hoots about its corruptions when it was in power. BJP and Modi are the ones in power and they have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

i'm dismissing the point the other poster made, because what I see as important is what actually happened. what I see as important about what actually happened is that the BSD license was incompatible with the situation, and if only the BSD/MIT whatever license was available, no one outside of Id or one of their contractors would ever have seen the doom source. I see that availability of the DOOM source as a great good for humanity which wouldn't have happened in a world where no GPL exists.

That's true, but I don't think it salvages that passage. The loud complaints that got these students access may well have actually come from (likely dead) white do-gooders on a civilizing mission than from the students themselves.

Agreed, but you have other single-threaded server languages like NodeJS which have the same problem (a new request can only be handled if the current request gives up control, usually waiting for IO) and people have figured out how to handle it.

I see Project Loom as really providing all the benefits of single threaded languages like Node (i.e. tons of scalability), but with an easier programming model that threads provide as opposed to using async/await.

> the context, reflection, time, initial degree of familiarity/rapport that it requires mean it can’t possibly help if dozens of [semi-]strangers approach you about the same thing every week.

The main point is to follow through on actually asserting one's will. "Let me get back to you," doesn't achieve that.

The epiphany of experiencing nothing much happening in response to a bona fide assertion reveals that you can use the same amount of (limited) willpower to have more interactions, and to have more options in those interactions. It is like unlocking new weapons that weren't previously available to you. Even for the Groundhog Day nightmare you mention of strangers approaching about the same thing every week, you have agency to deal with the situation.

Without those advanced weapons, many people overestimate the cost of asserting will as necessarily leading to conflict, judgment, etc. It rarely does, or-- if it isn't rare then someone or some organization is probably abusing you and you're time and you should run to safety before your energy meter gets depleted. :)
It still cost time and money to get to that point

One way is to assume that all health research is fraudulent, unless proven otherwise through replication by multiple unrelated parties.
You see no value in the instinct to resist conformity? All major social and scientific progress has been made by someone with that kind of mindset.

You could argue that it's misplaced in this case, but that's already a more charitable interpretation of anti-conformists that will serve you better than just saying they've "gone off the deep end".

I find it interesting that they span three very broad genres of gameplay:

During an interview for a job with a Wall Street outfit, the interviewer asked me “In C++, how would you determine the concrete type of a pointer to a base class if you did not have runtime type information?”

I couldn’t think of an answer, and then he explains “It’s quite simple - you would use dynamic_cast.”

I needed the job so I just smiled and said “Oh, that’s really cool - I didn’t know about that.”
This, and it’s hard work, no way around that.

I agree you can achieve same benefits with Macros. Indeed, I see that MLJ, Julia's attempt at a SciKit type project, makes extensive use of Macros. But I personally think macros are an antipattern. In large projects, they can introduce subtle bugs. Especially if you're using multiple modules that are each editing your code before compile time and that don't know about each other. I know others in Julia community agree that Macros are dangerous.

I think abstract types are a brittle solution. The "can of worms" I alluded to is something like this: Library TensorFlow implements model "nn" and Library PyTorch also implements model "nn" and they both want to override "fit" to handle the new type "nn"... Good luck combining them in the same codebase. This problem is less pronounced in OOP where each development team controls their own method. Julia devs can solve this by having every developer of every "fit" function and every developer of every "model" struct agree beforehand on a common abstraction, but that's an expensive, brittle solution that hurts innovation velocity.

I think the closest I can do in Julia via pure structs is for the developer to define and expose their preferred fit function as a variable in the struct, something like "fit = model['fit_function']; fit(model,X,Y)" but that introduces a boilerplate tax with every method I want to call (fit, predict, score, cross validate, hyperpameter search, etc). (EDIT: indeed, I think this is pretty much what MLJ is doing, having each model developer expose a struct with a "fit" and "predict" function, and using the @load macro to automate the above boilerplate to put the right version of "fit" into global state when you @load each model... but as described above, I don't like macro magic like this.)

I agree that numba's JITted code needs debuggability improvements. I've been working on getting it to work with Linux's perf(1) for that reason.

The Julia-for-astronomy community is just microscopic right now, so it's hard to find useful libraries. Nothing comes close to, say, Astropy[0].

I'm not a huge fan of the current numpy stack for scientific code. I just don't think anyone should get too carried away and claim that Julia is taking the entire scientific world by storm. I don't know anyone in my department who has even looked at it seriously.

> It's important that people be able to speak to power, and a core part of that for humanity is socializing, being able to form groups to support each other and pool ideas, skills and resources to have a greater effect than what any individual alone could accomplish. Seriously, you say "corporations don't have free speech rights"?

The people in many corporations in fact lose their free speech rights and have to follow the company line. Granted, they agreed to that in their employment contract but this is in many cases a coercive relationship.

> Exactly what form of combined effort do you imagine most, say, NEWSPAPERS are organized under? So what, you think individuals should be able to investigate something all by themselves, but the government should be free to put the boot down on newspapers because they're corporations?

The more sophisticated calculators allow you to compare buying and spending more on housing per month vs renting at a cheaper price and investing the extra money you have in the stock market. (Although many people may not have such discipline, and renting costs verse purchase costs are going to vary from market to market.)

There's no advantage to passing on a house to kids verse passing on stocks. Also, similarly, there's no advantage to going mortgage free in retirement verse being rich on stocks and selling the stocks to buy a house 30 years from now, or paying rent by selling stocks.

> Versus, of course, for renting: "don't have to worry that the roof will need replacement, etc."

This is kind of a tangent, but worrying about maintenance is exactly why I own a house. When I rented, poor maintenance issues were my problem whether or not they were my responsibility. I'd much rather be empowered to do preventive maintenance or fix things immediately, than be forced to wait until something fails plus a few days for someone to show up to fix it.

"The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue.

You still hear of people in these markets snagging homes for like 5% down even with the competition. Maybe I misunderstand, but you don't pay any realtor any money until you buy the home. Seems that there isn't any pain being 'in the market' continually getting out offered 99 times out of 100, if it means you get an offer that one time and are going to be renting anyway until then. Plus the whole time you are presumably saving more money and coming up with a stronger down payment.
