It's also very difficult to justify under the commerce clause I imagine.

That said, the US constitution is an interesting beast, because of the Supreme Court's very very progressive interpretation of the commerce clause.

The Supreme Court has a very large amount of discretion in these things.
Once you've bought a device, it should not be technically possible for the manufacturer or seller to control your continued use of it in any way whatsoever. If it needs servers, the addresses and the public keys for those should be configurable by the end user. That simple. This should be a law.

An AMD share gives you ownership of circa $2 worth of hard assets (net tangible assets), an extra $1 of soft assets (rest of balance sheet: IP, goodwill, etc), and $102 worth of... other things.

How much of that is hopium and how much is fair value of future prospects?

Yes, Python is painfully slow, but it shouldn't matter. If you are using Python where performance, speed, correctness, testability, maintainability matters, you are doing it wrong.

Python is good where speed of development matters, where you write throw-away code testing some ideas and you want to do it fast, where you write glue code, for prototypes, for small code bases.

Once you are getting outside of that area, you better should use a language more suited for the task.

As for myself, even if I can use Python in some cases, I can churn C# code almost as fast so I prefer doing it that way in case I want to grow the code later or use it somewhere else. Being lazy, I dislike rewriting code.
using html descriptors (essentially commands) is not really "speculative". I was thinking it was going to be leveraging some ML model to render pages faster if it could predict with high enough certainty some info about what to render, such as structure or size of contents.

Why would it "fail". It is just one of many possible protocols to query data. It is like arguing about using this computer language vs that computer language. Bar difference in performance they would all work.
Presuming a happy path towards IPO..

That's a big presumption. There were 407 IPOs in the US in 2020. That's not in tech, but in all industries. If you're pinning your hopes of 50% of your comp coming from an IPO event then you must be very happy with risk.
Horses were like gas tanks. When they got tired you picked up new ones as easily as we would pump gas. They were not pets. Once they were too old or lame to keep the standard pace they became food.

I don't doubt Nim, looks like a great language. But that is just an awful Python implementation. I'd do it in this way:

lines = (line for line in lines("orthocoronavirinae.fasta") if not line.startswith(">"))
gc_lines = (1 if ('G' in line or 'C' in line) else 0 for line in lines)
gc = sum(gc_lines)

total = len(list(gc_lines))

# Alternatively, a more "memory efficient" total would be:
total = sum(1 for _ in lines)

Edit: my code is not perfect (I’m typing from my phone, I’m surprised I could even match parentheses).

My point is: this is a highly I/O bound program. The implementation matters. With the correct implementation there shouldn’t be much difference between the languages.
Turn your notion tables into mobile apps without code
Hey everyone

On this casual weekend of hacking I thought about trying to build a no-code builder that uses notion as a backend.

Would love to get some feedback:)

What do you think?
Yes, but a liberal interpretation of "and other measures, as in his judgment may be necessary" would imply unlimited executive power for the Surgeon General.

The US Congress can't just delete every single authority of the legislative and executive branch to the Surgeon General, a single sentence about "and other measures" cannot allow a Surgeon General to assume complete power.

This is where judicial interpretation comes into play with these laws. Congress writes bad laws sometimes.
I agree that computer hardware manufacturers need to either build poor quality (selling you a new light bulb every 1000 hours) or rent things out as peak Moores law unfolds, even if some predict the litho to keep getting smaller (EUV) the CPU performance per watt will not increase, mostly because the architecture can't take advantage of the new transistors and random memory speed has been stuck for 20 years.

Often it comes from usernames who have enough of a reputation that you can have good reason to believe it is a real person with no specific motive.
I didn't know about the receiver-vs-donor concept, but my first reaction is that the "universal receiver" seems to signal the ambition to gather all free software and make it optionally-free.

I mean for now there is a fashion among contributors to keep software open-source, but they don't like it as obligation. (Where "contributors" include ICs, but are really mainly businesses these days.) And the notion of "universality" is in fact more about forsaking my right to require the software to remain free. Why would I need that again? It seems that when thinking about progress/ROI open-source turned out to work very well as a fashion, what's wrong with it being a legal obligation then?
That’s overly simplistic. Everyone of AMD’s CEOs was an engineer; not an MBA[1]:

* Jerry Sanders | 1969—2002 | Founder, electrical engineer
* Hector Ruiz | 2002—2008 | Electrical engineer
* Dirk Meyer | 2008—2011 | Computer engineer
* Rory Read | 2011—2014 | Information Systems
* Lisa Su | 2014—present | Electrical engineer

And yet only two of them (Jerry and Lisa) are considered truly successful at running the company and one decent at keeping things afloat (Rory). The real answer is much more complex and has to do with Intel’s constant monopolistic actions against AMD; some internal struggles (overheating issues early on, bad laptop support, spinning off business divisions right before they were set to be wildly valuable [Adreno, Spansion, etc], wildly overpaying for ATI, etc).

While Jerry and Lisa are both great CEOs for the company, and all credit belongs to them for their leadership; AMD’s woes were simply more complex than that.

I think the Jetbrains model of perpetual fallback licence and renewals for continuous updates beyond the subscription period is the most fair model for both the user and the developer. Wish more companies would adopt this.
>> Are you being sarcastic?

At the moment, no. My shifts are 6am to midnight, six days a week. Day 7 is for laundry, exercise, phoning home and catching up on sleep. Lots of us have jobs that require long hours at least temporarily. For me (military) we will keep this pace until at least mid-January but this is a norm in many industries. Talk to anyone working on any sort of ship, resource extraction, farming, or remote locations. The hours are long, the rooms are small, but the pay is high. Time for reading is a privilege. Only those with "normal" jobs have the stability and time to associate rituals with reading.

A couple of missed words or odd linguistic choices, but compared to the number of lines, not many.

The one specific misspelling that the tweeter points out is consistent throughout.

That’s where Nim can shine. For simple scripts both Python and Nim are about as easy to write. But the Nim version usually runs a lot faster.

Static types help for basic data munging when you haven’t used a script for months to get up to speed and make tweaks.

> Could you provide some data to support the assertion that the virus was engineered? I'm hoping something like a leaked paper, or a lab notebook, or maybe hand written data on a piece of scrap paper that somebody found in the garbage bin in china.. I mean, I'll take anything.

Where did I say it was engineered? We have no evidence of its natural origin either. Can you provide its natural reservoir? An animal sample? Another coronavirus with this furin cleavage site? Anything?

What we are trying to do is ascertain the likelihoods of various scenarios given the evidence we have. Not the evidence we wish we had. I do not believe, nor have I anywhere asserted, that we have proven the virus was unnatural in origin. I also do not believe we have proven that the virus was natural in origin.

What I believe is that the evidence is presently insufficient to determine, and fairly ambiguous. What is unambiguous is the extraordinarily shady and self serving behavior of Peter Daszak. Why it is that he's doing that, I don't know. It could be because he participated in the engineering of this virus, but it could be for entirely separate reasons that pertain to him. I do think we should at least make a serious effort to find out, though.
Yes, I get the same emails
> How it makes sense is simple - people who lease cars don't pay the final payment. They give the car back and lease a new one. That way they pay a bit more for a few years, but they avoid most of the cost of deprecation that they'd lose if they owned the car at that point.

If you don't plan to keep the car more than the few years you can get with a lease term, then yes, the comparison is different than the one I made, but what might tip the scales in favor of leasing isn't the depreciation cost but what options are (or aren't) available to you for terminating your old loan (which probably won't be paid off at that point) and getting a new one when you either trade in or sell your old car and buy a new one.

Another downside of leasing is that, since you don't own the car, there are probably going to be restrictions on how you can treat it and what you can do with it (for example, mileage restrictions). That gets back to the more general issue of the pros and cons of ownership vs. renting, which is relevant for subscription business models more generally.
There is more to it than that.

Funding people to get through these rough times is not pretending at all.

Really, it is an investment. These people have agency they would not have otherwise and that counts for a lot!

Maybe they need to build a skill.

Or, they can get another job that pays well enough to keep them on a similar life path with similar expectations.

In the case of families, a forced move, or transition to being homeless has a huge impact on kids amd their development. Development which will have a significant impact on their politics.

"True demamd"

While I get what you mean here, it is also important to recognize a majority of the labor force at this point is underpaid. That same investment has educated people about markets and what they mean for labor better than most anything else has.

In many cases, getting another job is increasingly likely to result in under compensation. Some info out there pegs this at somewhere in the 10's of trillions over the last few decades, since late 70's.

Landlords are increasingly aware of what remote work means. If they are in an undesirable area, yeah rent is likely to have to go down, but given the low wage scenario out there, they could make the case it happens that way more than it should.

Some people are saving that money. Others may catch up on debts and such.

One member of my family basically arranged to be laid off so they can prep their home for sale and go mobile, homeless by choice with enough in their savings to live reasonably for a couple decades taking work where they can get it.

I think this has been great for the lower wage job market. People are balking, asking questions and often figuring out they can ask them in large numbers too.

A primary one being why they need to continue working for a wage that pays less than it costs them to exist and show up for work. Large employers have huge numbers of people on assistance while putting billions in profit in the bank.

They can still put most of those billions in the bank and pay people enough to make it and should.

Why should we be subsidizing labor like that?

Given new and better answers, more equitable from a labor point of view, landlords evaluating "true demand" may well realize they may not have to reduce rent as much as support labor getting paid enough to make it more than happens now.

And that is just for starters. We have all these things intertwined and need to think through higher order effects more than is happening today.

I’m not convinced that this is a story of unfortunate circumstances affecting responsible but unlucky Americans. I know several people who openly talk about gaming the pandemic benefits and protections, purposely staying unemployed, using the time and money for an extended vacation. My feeling is this isn’t uncommon - it seems more like a well known script everyone is aware of. It is easy to demonize landlords and owners of small businesses but those are people working hard and taking risks to make their way, while others are abusing this pandemic to freeload by skipping rent and avoiding work.
While Nim is for certain interesting and even pleasant to write code in, its small user base and environment discourage people to use it.

I don't write code only for myself.

How would I convince my employer to let me use Nim instead of a better known language?

And even I would convince my employer, if we want to start a new project how could we find programmers well-versed in Nim?

And even id we can find those people, it would mean we would have to write many things ourselves, which in other languages we can take for granted as they have libraries for almost anything.

So having a nice, performant and good language is just a small part of achieving your goals. You also need the people and the ecosystem.

Go, Rust, Kotlin, Swift and even Julia have the luck of having some industry heavyweights behind them, pushing the ecosystem and contributing with money and developers. Nim has only a bunch of passionate people behind it.
That, and avoiding being put down by MBAs who think you’re encroaching on their turf.

I’m a big proponent of domain drive design, at least in principle, but I’ve yet to meet the manager who’s going to let developers “waste” the time of the domain experts on “pointless minutiae” instead of just shutting up and writing the damned software.

Well the speculation is on whether the user will actually click on the link. You're declaring you think it's likely; the browser is free to choose what to do.
I think it would depend mostly on the diversity of combinations of data the frontend needs. Their GraphQL implementation is essentially automating the process of frontend teams asking the backend for new endpoints or configurations of existing endpoints to deliver new combinations of data for use by frontend clients. It’s pretty easy to see that certain for frontend requirements the backend GraphQL will be worth it, and for other frontend requirements the backend work would not be worth it. In this case I’m relatively confident that they’re coming out ahead.
It's about their products, NO one is lobbying against to create a 10 years phone.
Right, understood - it’s the same reason that QUIC pads incoming packets to MTU. We deliberately don’t do this on ultra-low-bandwidth Matrix (as described in the original post) to save bits, so you would typically use it on a private network. For low-bandwidth matrix we use DTLS rather than Noise, which gets this right.
You will own nothing and you will be happy.

I am waiting all this to crumble under its own weight.
The concept of ownership will not go away. It takes time the masses to realize, but eventually they will realize the truth.
And will buy nothing.
This ultimately will bring people down to earth and they will revolt. The picture planned by Davos elites and most powerful corporations has one big flaw. There is no way to save corrupt system by pretending that countries can do something for their citizens by some "social" agenda and continue to increase taxation and regulation over small businesses and regular people.
Corporations are not paying at all.

To my eyes, this cable confirms what the Politico article said. It says there is a "serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators needed to safely operate this high-containment laboratory". This is on Page 2, in the last paragraph. As for what's dangerous, Page 3 specifically mentions research undertaken with funding from NIH/NIAID studying SARS-like coronaviruses that can interact with ACE2 (transmittable to humans). Handling such viruses, particularly ones whose infectiousness has been increased (gain of function), in a lab without properly trained staff, seems pretty alarming to me.
Agreed, and it was unsubstantiated till now (and also with the funding of it, etc).

My point was mostly that we won't really be able to figure out the microbiology details of it in order to make reasonable conclusions. I think it would be like trying to figure out the physics of the nuclear bomb during the Manhattan project, and concluding no such bomb can be built because no physicist has figured out nuclear reactions yet.

I am a developer and do not know much about k8s. Well I know the theory and what they're for and could learn to use it in practice. However I have yet to find a single case amongst my clients where all this infrastructure overhead will provide positive ROI. I do not deal at Google scale and for normal businesses a single instance of properly written server deployed on dedicated hardware covers all their needs many times over. It serves as many requests as they can ever hope for without breaking a sweat.
I do not want to sound difficult and I suppose in today's world it feels like eternity, but 45+ years is barely a full generation's lifetime. But lets forget that for a minute, because I don't want to make about attention spans ( or lack thereof ).

A lot of the things that are happening now are not new. Sure, actors have changed, events have new facade and technology adds an interesting spin to it, but at its core, none of it is new to people who are aware of human history.

Separately, I will add that there are developments where 40 years is genuinely not long. As an example allow me to trot out the change of being gay being classified as a mental disorder in 80s to today's predominant understanding as a fully functioning member of society. That is a stunning evolution of societal mores in a short amount of time.

I suppose I understand that people would like to see instant change, but at certain scales, 45 years is 'not so long ago'. From societal memory point of view, it isn't. Only fool forgets that government can take their property. I will illustrate that further with a geological example. By those timescales, humans just showed up yesterday.
> Which is why there is a war on durable goods

Yes, and that war is not being fought to protect the interests of people generally. It's being fought to protect the interests of businesses that don't want to adapt to changing technology and market conditions. They would rather have planned obsolescence than recognize that some goods really don't need to be "upgraded" very frequently and see those resources allocated into new goods and services that would create more wealth. It would be better in the long run for everyone if that trend were reversed.
A bit different, but IIRC some seeds spread by passing through birds' digestive tract—which sidesteps the bird's decisions on the luggage. However, I'd guess the distance travelled is much shorter in this case.
