I do need and want generics. So... Whose needs and wants are more important?
I think a better metric now (compared to March 2020) is number of severe cases and hospitalizations and not number of infections.

I wonder if we counted how many people got common cold/flu before the pandemic that number would also be large.

My understanding of GHE is that it uses libgit2 internally, which in turn has a linking exception in its license (just like GCC and glibc). It’s unlikely that they’re violating GPL in that particular way.

I don't know who you include in "most people", but from what I understand of the professionals, that's not at all how making money works. If what you describe happens, it means the portfolio risk dial is set way too high.

The mistaken idea behind that is that people think risk and reward covaries. It does for single wagers, but when assessing profitability of investments, we must look at long term growth. When we do that, there's a risk level that maximises growth.

Lower risk than that gives you slower growth but with less variability. Higher risk is just stupid because it gives you slower growth and increases your risk of ruin (by getting variability over levels supported by your capital.)

----

People who actually make money on this are good at inventing their own insurance in ways that lowers their risk significantly. They make very specific, relatively independent bets that aren't just proxies for "exposure to the market".
Recently the hard drive in my Mac became inaccessible to MacOS even after formatting and a lot of other things. Somehow it was able to install Linux though, so I did that while waiting on the new drive to arrive. I tried a number of different distributions, and I had the experience you describe. It was death by UX papercuts and I could not wait to get back to MacOS by the second day. I hadn't used Linux in a decade outside of ssh to remote servers, and I really had high hopes for improvements in the UX since I last used it.
Perhaps we could "shotgun" a swarm of tiny cubic reflectors, literally just use a controlled explosion to scatter them through the solar system, then track their movements to spot hidden objects. Some may even be drawn in and attach to otherwise dark objects by gravity, allowing them to be more easily tracked.

I'm guessing the issue with that other than the technical challenge would be filling space with too much noise?
I'm not making anything up. The judge that struck down Prop 22 listed its seven-eighths hurdle as one of the provisions that made Prop 22 unconstitutional.

> In a ruling issued Friday, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch declared that Proposition 22 is “unenforceable,” arguing several sections of the measure are unconstitutional under California state law. They included a section that required a seven-eighths legislative supermajority to amend the measure, which defied the legislature’s amendment power under the state constitution, according to the judge.

How would you write a singly linked list who’s contents are arbitrary? What if you were to map a function over it? Say you want to use this data structure with third-party objects? How do you do that right now?
I personally think this will be a great thing for the quality of the language (no typed higher-order functions is a massive pain point as-is), but at the same time one could argue that this is an equally massive bait-and-switch for all the developers who prefer Go's original take on "simplicity".
Blaming Covid specifically for hospital overflow is a fallacy. It's just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Obesity/poor diet require an incredible amount of healthcare resources. Government subsidies of corn play no small factor. Ending subsidies for unhealthy foods is completely within our control unlike infections from new diseases. If we wanted to free up hospital resources we could have done that a year ago with a simple sugar/high fructose syrup tax.

> I guarantee nobody thinks you are an annoyance if you aren't specifically trying to annoy them.

I appreciate that you're trying to help but is this guarantee actually based on any real evidence or experience?

Because I've definitely seen people be regarded as annoyances even though they were clearly not trying to be annoying. Heck, even knowing this, I've still felt that some people were annoying to me and it was obvious that they weren't trying to be.

There are countless innocuous reasons why someone may not get along with you, but I've noticed that missing those social cues or trying to befriend them anyway will very quickly make them think you're really annoying. You certainly don't have to try.
I agree that vaccine escape risk has real implications. I meant to say it doesn't determine whether mass vaccination is prudent. I explained what is missing to make that determination in another comment. Do we agree on that?

Glad I learnt the shell before some hyped "modern" scripting language. Shell scripts just keep working year after year, they do not go "out of style" and they are generally fast. I cannot predict the future, the direction of populist computer programming is hilariously nonsensical, so much hype and failed attempts at improvement. However, like the authors of this ACM article, I know for sure the shell will outlive me. I love the UNIX shell. Not for what it is, but what it isn't.

Sometimes I use a debugger. Sometimes I use print statements. It depends on the task. If it's a loop that runs multiple times, I lean toward using a debugger. If stepping through the code would be too much hassle, then I lean toward using print statements. If I need to explore the environment (often due to poor documentation), then I lean toward using a debugger. In short, I use whatever seems to be the most effective approach.

Ink: A minimal programming language inspired by modern JavaScript and Go
Cesium beam atomic clocks are actually just a very selective band pass filter / detector. There is a DC output in microamperes which is proportional to how well centered the input frequency is in relationship to the resonance of the Cesium atoms in the ambient conditions as they drift across the tube. To use this filter as a clock, it is slaved to a quartz oscillator which is them multiplied and phase locked, with a small bit of FM at 137 hz prior to being fed into the tube. If the frequency is too low, the output will be in phase with the FM, if the frequency is too high, the phase will be opposite, and if it is centered, there will be a 274 hz "2x" output, which is used to indicate lock.

Thus, the cesium isn't actually sampled at ~9.192 Ghz, but rather a much slower rate. The actual loop maintaining phase is as slow as possible to keep phase noise down, which is part of why they take a while to lock on startup.

Further complicating things is the need for a small persistent magnetic field in the tube, as getting zero in all 3 dimensions is a much harder problem. This bias keeps things stable, but also changes the frequency slightly, but is offset out in the divider chain.

This doesn’t focus on the present reality.

If the pandemic becomes endemic then it’s definitely worthwhile to have that dialogue.

However our house is on fire right now in front of us.

I feel like it’s important to be curious about working together to find a solution together RIGHT NOW - instead of worrying about far off scenarios.
> You have to weigh the consequences of the escape against the consequences of not mass vaccinating

Yes, agreed.

At this point we're talking in circles. It's obvious you believe that the benefits of compulsory mass vaccination outweigh the potential consequences of vaccine induced immune escape, even though you admit that "it's unclear" whether compulsory mass vaccination will make the virus even more lethal and potentially lead to even more suffering and death.

I won't continue on with the debate because no further evidence is being provided, and frankly we're in agreement that the calculus is intractable right now, and only in disagreement on whether it's acceptable to call compulsory mass vaccination a public health risk, so it's just semantics at this point.

> one critical question would be whether the vaccine somehow hinders the immune system from developing a more complex and robust response to the virus

Here is some literature that provides preliminary answers [1][2]. The summary is that natural infection induces an immune response which includes nucleocapsid protein antibodies, whereas vaccination using the current mRNA formulations does not. Compared to natural infection, vaccination induces an immune response that is more highly targeted toward the spike protein RBD. In terms of individual health outcomes, neither of these papers address whether natural infection offers better or worse immune protection compared to vaccination.

If anything generics will make go code simpler.
No more copy pasting everywhere and the possibility of making useful collection methods like map, filter and reduce.
Apple at least can absolutely do this, that's what the purpose of reporting a device stolen is.
Find a different way to solve the problem. I've written close to half a million lines of code in Go and the lack of generics has been a pain point in maybe 1% of that? Usually, if you are thinking about generics you are reaching for abstraction when you don't need to be.

If you really need generic structures you can use the interface type but generally there's a simpler solution that doesn't require generics.

You wouldn't. Everybody goes into Go thinking that's absurdly confining. Some significant subset of Go programmers learn that they instead find it liberating. Programming is programming; you have an overwhelming number of degrees of freedom no matter what language you work in. It sometimes turns out that taking some of those degrees out of the language makes it easier to focus them on your problem domain.

That's... genius

> savvy data scientists complain to me "this NN is just approximating SVD/PCA ..."

It wouldn't be "approximating" anything. An optimal one layer linear NN "autoencoder" is PCA. There are other learning algorithms for PCA than gradient descent, but the infrastructure for learning NN:s with big data sets makes it painless.

As soon as you add activations and layers, you're improving on SVD/PCA. For dimensionality reduction, it means the "manifold" is more complicated than just a linear projection.
What is the advantage of this format over CSL-JSON [1] or BibTeX, which are already supported by software like pandoc?

Not excited about this feature, I guess we'll see how frequently it shows up in unwanted places. Generics in C++ really damage the readability of the code sometimes, maybe the go devs have found a better way.

You can do something similar to container package which has a double impl.
Kinda? I think year to year stuff dies and turns to soil. At geological timescales, a forest adds a millimeter of soil over however long it takes, eventually that dead stuff turns into coal and oil. Can't quite dredge up the memories of nurse logs for evidence though.

I mean, we're not going to do that. Forests won't save us from global warming. But I'm pretty sure that's one of the mechanisms so much carbon got tucked away.

This mostly true as written, but confusing to most folks not into the esoterics of this, because it implies the legislature can do nothing.

The legislature can't override it themselves, but they can submit it back to the voters:
"
(c) The Legislature may amend or repeal a referendum statute. The Legislature may amend or repeal an initiative statute by another statute that becomes effective only when approved by the electors unless the initiative statute permits amendment or repeal without the electors’ approval."

Generics in C++ really damage the readability of the code sometimes, maybe the go devs have found a better way.

The culture might help. I think generics in Java are not overused -- partly because they are not so powerful and partly because Java, similar to Go, did not have generics for a long time.
I'm not saying they'd like to do that kind of management, but every other employer of shift workers manages the shifts they offer and accept and limits the supply of workers they agree to pay.

You're not wrong about how it's the death of what they call the gig economy, but that's more the death of their current exploitative model than what was truly the gig economy - independent contracting - before they appropriated the term for their propaganda.

Maybe the different "rideshare" companies should collaborate on a way for drivers to bid in a truly independent way with many apps and many pricing arrangements etc, and give some selection control to the rider as well, to make it a real and unambiguous independent contractor situation?

If they do get stuck with an actual optimization problem, well, they already solve plenty of those to maximize profit under their current model. They can keep applying those skills even if the workers get a fairer deal.
I had a little DMT smoke session the other day and this woman couldn't feel much of anything from the DMT despite smoking a large amount. Others got desired effects.
