> A company can never "admit wrongdoing" as doing so would have so many downsteam impacts as to make it impossible to stay in business.

If anything that sounds like making it a requirement to admit wrongdoing should be step 1.
I made the claim from first-hand experience, but if you'd like third party sources, here's one:

OP here. Try using `Transducers`. It has problems of its own, but it does address most of my issues with Julia's iterators, including that one.

This also applies to private retirement investments. My comfort in retirement is contingent on the economy, and hence, the stock market, growing. If the 'ponzi scheme' of limitless growth collapses, I'm not going to be any better off than the pensioner.
With the track record these guys have, the more adamantly they declare something the more you may be justified in suspecting that it is false or at least only superficially true.

uBLock Origin appears to work to make Peacock usable by blocking all the ads. I do recall that initially I had to do some extra blocking because they had a way around it but now uBlock appears to just work out of the box.
> Python is plenty fast if you use NumPy / CuPy / SciPi.

I think this misses the point. You are basically saying that python is fast enough in cases that someone has written already written a fast package in not-python (plus bindings), whereas the value proposition for julia is basically: writing such packages in the future will be lots better.

Obviously the average user doesn't care, but if enough whiz-bang stuff starts to come out in Julia but not python, they'll move.
I will! Thanks for the tip.
That doesn't mean that we should just ignore efficiency. Smaller downloads means less bandwidth required on apple's side as well.

This also ignores that not everyone has stellar connection speeds, and that some people -do- have bandwidth caps (also, let's ignore that people are often mobile). Developers really need to stop making assumptions about people's hardware or internet speeds... and just do their jobs and make efficient designs. Maybe one day everyone will have super beefy machines on fiber optic networks with 10gb nics, but that's not the reality as of now.

If a patch needs to be 2gb, then so be it. But if it could be 100mb, then that's certainly better and something to strive for.
fwiw, scala has some limited TCO, and it also runs on the JVM
Reasonably speaking, I would expect that within 2 years 10 groups will be as proficient as AF2 at predicting static structures. I don't think anybody who is trying to emulate physics simulations will be in that group, just folks who have learned enough tricks to quickly incorporate all the evidence during training and choose how to apply it during prediction.

I expect to see a "multiple feature embedding heads on top of 2 fullly connected layers" (as used in modern ads training) will end up being the simplest architecture capable of folding proteins well.
I should have been clear about that. Yes, I am aware that Matrix and Vector>Riot>Element are different.

In fact Matrix as a protocol even less of a Signal replacement. People get perturbed by tiny amount of sign up friction and imagine self hosting. But then if you assume, and that's what I did assume, that for the sake of considering Matrix/Element as a replacement of Signal we stick to matrix.org server. That essentially makes Matrix as Signal replacement.

Also, when people usually talk about Matrix being adopted by masses they are talking about Matrix on matrix.org (or that's my understanding which may be incorrect as well).
A bloc including the USA, EU, Japan, Canada, Australia, Korea, perhaps parts of Latin America, would be about half the global GDP and a good majority of the world's int'l trade. Acting coherently it would be in a position so strong it would be closer to dictating terms more than negotiating, really. The pessimist in me figures China will peak on CO2 (late 2030s maybe) on their own before we're likely to manage even a credible start at this.
My biggest gripe with open plan offices is that they often seem to lead to tiny desks. Maybe because the mindset that leads to open plan offices eventually also leads to maximizing the butts-in-seats:floorspace ratio.

If desks are wide enough, people next to you can't readily stare at your screen, and it's more feasible to add dividers between desks. When they're narrow, ugh, horrible.
I was wondering this same thing, then I found out that in many cities home owners can have a high speed charging port installed at the front of their property line and run a cord across the side walk to their car.

Of course this doesn't work well if your neighbors park right in front of your house, oops. (In most American cities, AFAIK, home owners have no claim over the parking space directly in front of their home)

Not sure what to do in "real" dense cities, Chicago row houses and such.

Honestly making them public infrastructure where people pay a monthly fee subscription fee to the city might just work. (And generate revenue for the city!)

> cryptocurrencies using proof-of-stake, like Ethereum 2.0, dole out new coins to people relative to the amount of the currency they already own

Doesn't this mean that those who don't have the funds to be able to safely stake their coins see their balance depreciate as the incoming coins go to people who have the ability to stake their wealth, implying that the most efficient way to use the system is to concentrate wealth?

The goal of proof-of-work is to prevent supermajorities from taking over the chain's verification by turning verification into a lottery of labor. Proof of stake doesn't seem like it solves that problem.
Meetings. I am absolutely astonished at the number of meetings IT managers come up with. I'm 100% convinced that the purpose of meetings is for managers to be able to claim that they did something this week to their higher ups (who, of course, are doing the same thing).
> Tether has a $60bn market cap. That's a drop in the ocean for the international markets.

Market cap here is more meaningless than usual as we don't care about Tether's liabilities but its assets. (Given their history, there is no reason to assume one strictly relates to the other.)

If Tether has its $60bn in short-dated Treasuries, great, no problem. If they have $5bn in receivables financing to a homebuilder, fast liquidation could very well crater that market. While that happens, other holders could be forced to sell, thereby transmitting risk from crypto to the mainline.

This happened when several money market funds "broke the buck" in '08, and led to a flurry of reforms that effectively banned maturity transformation in fund products. (Less jargon: you can't promise fixed-price redemption if you're buying securities.)
I've had mostly positive experiences in open offices, but the one I liked the most was in the mid 90s (if about 10 people in a room qualifies as open office): a room in which we had our desktops arranged as a square around and facing a giant aquarium. The positive environment, the soft music we had 100% control on, fishes, and the gentle bubbling of the air in the aquarium all contributed to a very relaxing and creative environment.
As of today however, I very much prefer a libre office than an open one (pun intended); that is, my home.
Mine's long range and I find it to be pretty practical. I definitely stop more often than I did in my ICE cars but it doesn't bother me to be forced to stretch my legs, use the restroom, and watch a bit of Netflix in the car or play on my phone.

Edit: On the plus side, charging at home at night every evening is really nice compared to a weekly gas station visit.
I was thinking of cases where someone fires a few shots and then everyone runs off - odds are the shell casings aren't going to be seen unless they do a careful sweep of the area, and the victims all left pretty quickly. No idea how often that actually happens though.

To be fair America has the Veterans Affairs administration, which is socialized medicine, albeit for a small subset of the population, veterans.

If you recall from Donald Trump's presidency, one of the things he campaigned on for veterans, is the ability to choose your own healthcare, such that they wouldn't be locked into the veterans affairs medical system, which was found to be far insufficient.

This isn't an apples to apples but it's worth considering that there are examples of the alternative model not working in America either.
There are tons of insects in my small garden in a UK town.

We have spiders that run in packs, bees, a variety of flies, also other small animals, snails, slugs, at least one toad.

Birds flit in and out to eat them; as if snow-white lives here.

On teams calls, colleagues notice the birds singing outside and assume I must live somewhere nice.

Which I don't.

Just stop gardening and watch what happens.

Although it will not impress the neighbours.

Sorry, slightly off topic, but as someone not really versed in Julia, but who sees it frequently on HN (but, honestly, nowhere else, but that could just be the type of industry I'm in), what would you say the closest "competitor" is for Julia?

Or rather, if I am currently using programming language X to do Y, what would be the values for X and Y that should make me really want to consider Julia instead.
There is a difference between blocking and non-blocking, which is what I am asking about. Language runtimes apparently cannot provide non-blocking DNS (as evidenced by this article, and the other one I linked which was on HN a week or so ago).

DNS seems like it perfectly fits the model of "give me a buffer (to hold the resolved IP), and I will wake you up when it's filled". Maybe io_uring (/ IOCP?) already can support this, and these articles are just mistaken about the current (or soon-to-be) state-of-the-art? Or is there some fundamental reason about DNS that make writing a non-blocking resolver very very difficult?

It's just very odd to me that userspace apps are creating their own blocking thread pools just to run DNS stuff, when they can do seemingly everything else with just a single thread if they wanted to.

I suspect you are right about the strategy and point at which it reaches a point of diminishing returns. Your likening the memorization of huge numbers of opening and mid-game sequences to precomputed hash tables seems spot-on...
I'll do a study:

Which president broke the rules of Twitter so frequently, they got their own special rules above and beyond anyone else? Seems to me like Twitter and FB worked really hard to keep POTUS on their platform despite him routinely violating their ToS.

So, literally, the opposite of what you are claiming.
The new trend is hiring for "culture add" rather than "culture fit." In other words, not trying to determine whether a person fits in with everybody else, but trying to determine whether what they bring to the table is something new and beneficial.

My own engineering team still uses the term "culture fit," but I recently helped refine our interviewing guidelines to make it more clear what we mean:

"We are assessing the candidate's comfort level with our processes, priorities, frequency of change, etc. Assessments should never reflect an interviewer's comfort level with any candidate's culture, personal attributes, etc."
FWIW, this is not even remotely true in Europe.
People use debit cards day to day, more likely to use a credit card if they don't have enough in the bank I suspect.

I have the opposite experience (our team is doing better remote), but the problem appears to be with corporations making blanket decisions for everyone. They shouldn't.

I was going to write "corporations trust us to make the right decisions to run our service, they should trust us to make the right decisions about where to work", but these two things are one and the same.

So your team believes they work better in an office: your team works in an office. The team next door believes they do better at home: that team works from home. Managers want to do the day-long promotion meetings in an office, all the managers head to the office that day.

Doctors and lawyers have very steep tradeoff curves for their work. One lawsuit can ruin them. Yet they're still liable.

It's crazy how people are just shrugging their shoulders at this.

So you've talked to lawyers and they basically say that there's nothing you can do about it.

Given that information, why do you think that there is something you can do about it?

I get that you're upset and angry about this -- I would be too -- but the lawyers are saying you've been legally screwed, which makes me doubt there is anything you can do about it.

About what you said:

> 9 days maybe of lingering cough and sniffles, the worst of it is typically over in 3 days or so.

The mild Covid experience described in the article was 36 hours - your own words. So it was literally like a light cold, as the physicians also confirmed according to the article. You're lucky that you've never had to stay in bed with a common cold.
I agree, but also hold an extreme view on the other end. If you’re going to put tech in a car, I want that crap to be Tesla-levels of tech. Not this half-assed 6” “infotainment” crap.

Find a way to slap a straight up automotive grade 23” 144hz touchscreen in there. Or at least do what Tesla did and say screw it and use one that isn’t. Really push the envelope or don’t bother at all.

I expect more from BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen but they produce absolute garbage. Audi owner here.

I think the "counterpoint" here is that that makes an amount of sense >0. While it's far from a complete story, and there are plenty of edge cases where it can be misleading, it's also a metric that will tend to bias in the right direction and has a decent relation to what we are trying to measure.

> The only issue I can think of with a law like that is that it'd make DRM significantly less effective, though IMO that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I wonder why movie companies these days still insist on shipping DRM garbage. HDCP is broken on a fundamental level, you can grab strippers for about 90€ on ebay, and BD+ is similarly broken.

It literally has no purpose other than annoying customers who have rooted their Android phones (Netflix refuses to go above 480p) or want legitimate backups of their bought content.
The reality is that the M1 beats pretty much all Intel-based laptops when it comes to getting the sweet spot on performance, battery life and silent operation.

Yes it's costly, restrictive, the hardware still has some flaws and you can't replace parts but most Apple users, myself included, are happily paying the price.

I have an M1 Macbook Pro for a few months now and it's blazingly fast, the battery lasts for 15-20 hours and I've only heard the fan for a few minutes so far while stressing it with heavy compilation. Under normal circumstances it's entirely silent. I wouldn't trade it for anything else at this point.
I think it's best to migrate to a preferred formatting slowly, versus touching everything at once. I've had open pull requests that I've started over due to aggressive reformatting like that. Between that and breaking tools like 'git blame', it can be painful.
Some issues are fundamental, sure, but I would guess there is a lot of room for improvement still.

Abstract interfaces seem perfectly compatible with the type system, for example. I think the situation with traits could be improved somewhat as well.

And there is no question that the situation for static analysis could be improved without having to overhaul Julia's type system.
Which is no problem, if it only takes 5 minutes to fill up. But when I use a route calculator from Tesla, it schedules two charges (one 45 minutes the other 20 minutes), to get to my in-laws. At places where I don't want to stop. There are, apparently no super-chargers between Cincinnati and Indianapolis. Do you know how many gas stations there are on that route?

Right now I can choose what I want to eat, find one of those restaurants and fill up there. You can't pretend as if the opposite (planning around where my car wants to go, and eating what happens to be there) is the same thing.

Nor can you pretend that it is just as convenient to spend an hour and 5 minutes waiting for my car to charge when I normally spend 10 minutes max filling it up.

I think you fundamentally don't understand what Ethereum is trying to do if you are thinking like this. I suggest you read the documentation and learn about what the infrastructure actually allows you to do.

Ethereum will allow you to deploy a smart contract that enables taxi drivers to provide that service to taxi customers. You do not have any employees and rather the taxi drivers will decide whether they wish to use your contract or not.

For making money:
you can create a token which allows holders to have shareholder rights. You create a governance board to which the token shareholders vote on matters related to the business (expansion, token buy-back protocols, etc).

You're thinking with a centralized mindset. This decentralizes the service so it's driven by the community rather than a company. No one has employees.

So the service itself runs for pretty much free, and the consumer only pays overhead of staking and any programmatically added fees (which is going to be much, much less overhead than Uber carries).
50,000 photos aren't that hard to amass if you're old. Digital photography was available to enthusiasts in 1998. If you took ~200 photos a month, you'd have 52,800 (200×12×22).

Back in 2008 I was working in Germany as a Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (research fellow). We had 1 office shared by 2 people. Later I got my own office (when my boss left and I had to replace her). Working in a 1 or 2 person office was amazing.

Later I moved to Industry, to a "Silicon Valley Startup" in an open-floor layout. It is horrible and demeaning (in that, it is evident that it is done because your boss doesn't trust you). I stayed like that for 7 years and just now moved to a 100% remote position. Currently I've got my own office at home with everything I want. There's no way I would go back to an open-office plan.
Hotel wi-fi is my go-to example of this. The fancy downtown hotels full of business travelers all signed contracts with digitization providers who charge $20/night for flakey and slow service. The Motel Six by the interstate has free and faster connections. For the hotels, there is the added complication that expensive hotels often have people other than the guest paying for the expenses while cheap hotels have travelers comparing on price.
