If you do a search two things will happen:

1) You are now aware of the patent and continuing to willfully infringe

2) You're going to spend days obsessing on how your idea is different, or they didn't think of this or that, or this tiny edge case convincing yourself of non-infringement.

In both cases any patent litigation attorney worth their salt will absolutely murder you. The best part is so many broad patents exist that everything infringes on one.
The level of control over the media in China is too strong to take anything they say seriously. Everything is so obscured with everyone at every level hiding things that there's simply no one who knows the truth, neither the lower level people nor the higher level people. That's the nature of authoritarian dictatorships. You can't aggregate the truth, you can only hear small anecdotes that leak through massive censorship.

And we've seen how massive hospitalizations did in fact manage to soar in Wuhan in the beginning before anyone knew what's going on. (and to be fair, I still don't really know how bad it really was, as opposed to the manufactured numbers they published that in retrospect seem very cooked)
I’ve always been fascinated by kernel development. Realistically though, what are some examples of useful modules someone could write without several years of practice?

Yes, and even after 30 years you might still say, "but what about 50? What about 70? How do we know it won't contaminate our bodies after death and leach dangerous toxins into the soil hundreds of years from now when our coffins break down?"

At some point you have to decide to balance the risk in some way and make a choice. Or live your life in a perpetual state of epistemic uncertainty & indecision. In most cases people are fine doing this: very few people refuse to drive over the unlikely possibility of a fatal car accident, or live in a basement on the remote possibility that a tree or meteor will fall on their home.

Unfortunately in this case, politics entered the equation. People cling to epistemic uncertainty to justify consistency with their political allegiance rather than make a decision on the basis of balanced risk, because they they have chosen a balance point that would make them an agoraphobic recluse if applied consistently across their life.

I withhold that judgement for those who are reluctant due to the "emergency" approval (in the US) but plan to get vaccinated when fully approved (which Pfizer now has received). I might disagree, but I think a rational person could still balance their risk on that "emergency approval" point. So long as they also are consistent in their application of risk balancing to recognize that strong precautions to avoid infection were required in the meantime.

> Why can't we have a compiler with built in system call support?

Funny you should ask that. That is exactly how Virgil's compiler supports the Linux (and Darwin) kernels. Other than generating a small amount of startup assembly (10-20 ins), the compiler just knows the ELF (and MachO) binary formats and the calling conventions of the respective kernels. With some unsafe escape hatches (e.g. getting a pointer into the middle of a byte array), the rest is regular Virgil code that calls the kernel directly.

Take a look, I've been working on this for more than 10 years:

https://github.com/titzer/virgil/blob/master/rt/x86-64-linux...

The "Linux.syscall" is a special operator know to the compiler and it will let you pass an int (the syscall number) and whatever arguments you want (any types--it is implemented with flattening and polymorphic specialization) to the kernel.

With this I have implemented all kinds of stuff, including the userspace runtime system and even a JIT compiler (for my new Wasm engine).
Yeah, this is another case of the police thinking the rules don't apply to them. The "don't fly drones in certain airspace" isn't even about good guys and bad guys, it's about safety.
That doesn't mean the officers operating it weren't treating it like a toy. Hopefully the investigation is exhaustive and objective.
So it reduces work especially in local area, possibly a bit hard political fix. Reducing work isn't always considered to good here in Japan.
I'm thinking exploded stomach.

Point is it could be a lot of alcohol for the mosquito.
My theory is that the vaccines are not stopping transmission, just reducing the effects -- enough that people don't even know they are carriers.

Then we re-opened everything and vaccinated (and others) stopped wearing masks. So in effect, coronavirus is spreading as if there were no masking or social distancing since those have ended. And by and large it is the unvaccinated who are paying the price.

I might be wrong, but at least my explanation is plausible.
Namecheap has a service called Private Email. If you bought your domain with Namecheap and pay for email they set MX records and all the dkim / dmarc stuff for you. It is quite easy and is pretty cheap. I am guessing other domain registrars have a similar feature.
It's required in class A, B, C, and E above 10,000' MSL. And within 30 nm of a Class B airport (mode C veil). That leaves a ton of controlled airspace in which it's not required. There are more class D airports and airports with class E surface areas, than there are class B and C airports.

> This is a bad take. It’s required in all controlled airspace.

That is incorrect. ADS-B out is required in class A, in and above classes B and C of controlled airspace, in the class B mode-C veils and class E controlled airspace that over both 10K MSL and 2.5K AGL.

It is not required in class D controlled airspace nor in the overwhelming majority of class E controlled airspace which isn’t covered by the prior paragraph.

Speaking of UV-A, I’m not a conspiracy theorist on this, but it reminded me that a common retort I’ve read given to “RF, routers, etc cause cancer” theories is that those are non-ionizing radiation and therefore are safe.

Yet, UV-A is non-ionizing and definitely does cause cancer. Just a random brain connection that was made.

Firefox made it to about 32%.

Chrome took more away from IE initially than it did from Firefox.

And yes, I'm arguing a technical difference. I've used every version of every browser when it was still new, all the way back to Mosaic.

Chrome introduced per-tab instancing which was a HUGE leap ahead of everything else and Firefox took years to catch up to that one feature alone. Firefox was bloated, slow and unstable.

It still is.

> AMD is also working on an Arm with RDNA2. I'm more excited about that chip than the M1 as it will be inside of more machines than the M1, even if outperformed by the M1. The M1 is boring as it just comes glued inside of Apple hardware that I have no interest in.

AMD GPU on ARM is also likely going to be a good but since that RDNA2 is going to paired up with a Samsung CPU it's not as compelling as Samsung CPU's are not close to the M1 CPU. So far the rumours suggest RDNA2 is coming to Samsung phones. I don't about you but that's hardly exciting. For me to interested about RDNA2 on ARM it needs to come on laptop with a great CPU as well.

They are.

Yet, chances are you are using an open source web browser to access an open source web server through a lot of piping that is modern networking, with open source parts inside and out.
I used Rudel some 10 years ago. I was impressed, though I remember having some wonkiness regarding leftover state files, but the memory is hazy.

We were pairing a lot with a friend in our "startup" that was using Clojure, sometimes from our respective homes.

And well that was it, it was a pretty specialized use case. Sad to see it go but it's a really niche need, sharing a live Emacs buffer.
How much space does it take?
I mean, I have 10 years of experience in the field and when someone asks me that in an interview I still go like ‘duuuh?’. They’re like asking me to package up 10 years of experience into a 3 sentence package.

How many ways are there to tell you that a caching mechanism is better for a site that barely ever changes than using database replication (yes, answering that question probably gave me some form of trauma).

I do a lot of stuff intuitively, and don’t consider the exact reasons behind them every single time.

It’s like when my maths teacher asks me to write out the steps to arrive at the solution. “But the answer is 30, right?”, “Yes, but I need to see how you arrive at that solution.”, “I look at the problem. The answer is obvious.”

Do I really need to stop and unwind the steps my mind takes to arrive there.

I’m not in school anymore, and I don’t have to graduate any more, so my patience for that kind of shit has gone down correspondingly.

Oh dear. Looks like the grandparent comment totally ruined this whole post and created another language war that isn't need here.

I really wanted to know how Bloomberg uses OCaml since they are silver sponsors of OCaml [0], but it wasn't clear how they used the language in production anywhere, until right now in this post here.

But unfortunately, the opinions are mostly about X language vs Y rather than the post itself. It is ruined and that's not good at all.

>Where is your data that they don’t have long term developmental effects from wearing masks and missing facial cues? Eh?

Asking someone to prove a negative when they indicate there is no positive evidence pointing towards the assertion you're making isn't a 'checkmate' retort.

Negatives are much harder to prove than positives. You aren't being gaslit.

Maybe take a step back and calm down. Saying things like:

>I’m not the one pushing kids to forcefully wear masks. You are. It’s disgusting and one of the worst things we’ve done.

Is probably too emotionally charged to result in a good dialog, if that's what you're looking for.
> I think a better solution is to ... give the application no way of being able to tell if it has permissions or not...

As an Android developer, I strongly disagree with this. Even if I never prompted for permissions, giving me the ability to determine what permissions I have allows me to make certain the application behaves properly with the permissions it does have.
I wrote some low level code to turn an Arduino into a USB audio device and bit banged audio from a couple pins.
Basically no experience in hardware stuff. But to be clear, getting good at programming is definitely a year+ kinda thing, of full time focus.
It’s hard to say given that the stats are poorly kept, but it’s currently estimated that 40% of cops commit domestic abuse. Given that that’s a crime, a serious one at that, it wouldn’t surprise me if over half of them commit more petty crimes like theft.
Most counties have surveillance aircraft from DHS with thermal imaging and cell triangulation that work well for aerial searches. The vast majority of UAVs are too noisy and distract ground searchers (remember you are trying to listen for people that might be faintly calling out for help) and make the airspace unsafe for larger aircraft to operate in the search.

I'm not quite sure which translation is the best for the whole work as a verse epic. The fragments I've read were so dry it wasn't fun to read.
I note that in that video, the first footage there is a plane on the runway with someone shining the laser from maybe 30m away. Not a moving plane in flight.

And it doesn't speak to the quality of the reporting when it shows the alarmist message "THIS FOOTAGE SHOWS A LASER ATTACK ON A PASSENGER PLANE", combined with footage that is clearly not from a plane but a helicopter.

In my younger, stupider days I've played with laser pointers with my young, stupid friends, trying to shine them into each others eyes from across a park. It's really not that bad because you can't hold it steady enough and in a moving aircraft from a large distance would be a non-event. A helicopter would be more vulnerable however, and as I said a group of people all ARMED with laser WEAPONS to ATTACK.

Yes, people who shine at planes are doing the wrong thing, but it's not bad enough to warrant alarmist all-caps warning messages and pretending it's anywhere near as much threat as physical impacts with drones, drunk/sleepy pilots, crappy maintenance or plane UI (lol, I watch Air Crash Investigations TV show), or anything else.
“ When everyone has some immunity, a COVID-19 diagnosis becomes as routine as diagnosis of strep or flu—not good news, but not a reason for particular fear or worry or embarrassment either.”

There is no reason to believe this. Many top experts, like Yaneer Bar-Yam, believe there is a real chance it continues to mutate to be worse.
At least they didn't make you pay to unlock those keys as "premium DLC".

Fifteen years of industry experience and a top uni Master’s and I can assure you leetcode doesn’t predict anything reliably.

It predicts how much time they spent solving leetcode, and biases towards recent graduates. If you’re hiring senior talent it’s mostly a wash and a waste of time. But it’s deep in valley culture so we’ll likely waste our time with it for another decade or so before we wise up.

Speaking for the US at least pursuing a covid zero approach now that we have vaccines that are very effective against hospitalization and death just doesn't make sense. You act like doing a "real" lockdown would be trivial but we have already seen that even light lockdowns have had serious side-effects.

Its not March 2020 anymore, we have an answer and it is vaccines. Every public policy decision we make going forward should be assessed by asking the question "will this policy encourage better vaccine uptake?".

Personally I think forcing people to continue to socially distance and such even after getting vaccinated leads to more vaccine hesitancy.
You are correct that these are all historically contingent.
Right the 20% hesitant in that be in the "waiting to see more data how safe it is camp." Or it could be on the "I don't trust the government camp." It would be interesting to see that breakdown.

Lots of people have lots of opinions on what those things even are. Most of those opinions are utterly ridiculous.
Unfortunately it also allows you to pester the user to change them and, as we've learned, we can't trust applications not to act like they need permissions when they really don't.

Ok, how about a compromise: We'll let the application be able to tell by default, but the user can can choose to lie to it.

Yep, if you're trying to build a new business based on an app, going for the absolute MVP to get early approval or rejection seems like a big requirement. Then just add incrementally until/unless an update gets rejected or you've built the full product. And then just hope the rules don't change.

None of the reasons you cited come anywhere near to reasonably accounting for a nine-fold difference. You're really reaching. If you can't take something away from a 9x difference (vaxed vs. non-vaxed) I don't what to tell you.

I think we should be careful about throwing around numbers when we have no idea of the actual situation.

For example, if we look at the Total Cost of Ownership of the project, it may turn out that after the ramp of onboarding and initial development has been climbed, it's relatively much faster and cheaper over time to add new features and maintain an existing OCaml or F# project, because its language features highly encourage maintainability and 'clean code'.

It may also be the case that because of type system features like exhaustive pattern matching and abstract types or units of measure, or compile-time code generation, F#/OCaml prevent and save the project from many bugs and incidents which might have plagued the C# project.

Also it may happen that the fact of using OCaml/F# may attract tech talent who may not have otherwise considered your company.

There are many variables and the answer is not really clear-cut.

The other side of this is Android makes it really simple for users to drop a shortcut to your website on the home screen. Apple, to encourage people into their cash cow app store, does not. I was all set to get a company going with mobile web as their primary UI, but it was too hard to get users to put the home screen shortcut down on iOS, so we ended up having to pay to have apps built and now have triple the complexity.

Targeting POSIX standard functions like open by going through the Linux syscall table looks like just making work for yourself when porting this to other systems.

Some syscalls don't correspond to standard library functions. As an exmaple, if you want to bind to opendir/readdir/closedir, you have to write those yourself in terms of the Linux-specific _NR_getdents64 system call.

Is your LinuxConst.SYS_open actually _NR_open? That's supposedly obsolete. glibc uses _NR_openat for open(). _NR_open is listed in the asm/unistd.h header in a section under the heading "All syscalls below here should go away really ..."

How about signal handling; are you dealing with sigreturn and all that?

You can get a small executable footprint (in terms of not requiring a dynamic C library) by maintaining all this yourself, though.
