I think the biggest set of fallacious claims made are made on the "Clovis Point" finds. The author makes broad sweeping statements based on these small finds that are not really supported by the evidence, nor do any of the experts in the field agree.

Additionally, the author goes to great lengths to make the claim that the earliest societies were egalitarian "commune" societies of hunter gatherers, by cherry picking very specific finds, and completely ignoring any counter-examples. He also draws broad conclusions on very weak evidence. For example, he looks at the ruins of certain ancient sites only partially excavated, notes that there's no evidence of a "central large building" and draws the conclusion that these societies had no central gov't or singular leadership.

These are wildly fallacious arguments. It's the sort of thing we see when someone who is very politically active does direct historical research. It's too easy to biased your research if you're specifically looking for evidence to support your modern politics.
> Static binary translation is relatively straightforward until you start doing indirect jumps (function pointers, C++ vtables, etc), then all hell breaks loose.

It's not even possible on x86 with only static jumps, because you can jump into the middle of an instruction and turn it into a different one.
Has Backblaze ever published their EOL costs?

At some point, I'd imagine it's an optimization problem between (cost of failure) vs (liquidation value) vs (revenue per GB), where running them all the way into the dirt doesn't make sense. Or maybe it does?
Yeah, GCL's scoping rules are confusing.

Jsonnet got rid of "up" and a few other details and suddenly things are much less likely to blow up in your hands.

curiosity: I once wrote a GCL function that computed a PNG data url (the thing that looks like '<img src=data:image/png;base64,iVBORw...' and can be natively opened by your browser) whose content was a rendering of the mandelbrot set. It took several GB of RAM to evaluate. Didn't port it to jsonnet yet...

>* Can the candidate predict what his code is going to do before he executes it? Repetitively executing code to see if it works may seem innocuous, but really is a huge defect in candidate's process which makes it really difficult for them to write anything non trivial to be reliable.

I'm going to disagree here. Testing your code in small chunks can not only catch small errors before they propagate into something larger, but also give you insight into whether you are going down the wrong path.

How much of this is a problem in practice?

I think in practice, S3 data is often indexed using other DBs e.g DynamoDB, Postgres, MySQL etc. Can't this index be used to enumerate all S3 URLs? I am off-course simplifying this a lot.
The way I see truck automation going is that the drivers will still be there, but the skill of the job will be dramatically reduced, at least for long haul loads. I'm thinking it will be a lower paying job for drivers that "babysit" automated driving trucks. I don't believe this is optimal. A distracted driver is more dangerous, regardless whether they have a computer helping them drive. But, the incentives are there. I would much rather it looks like the airline industry, where computers have come a long way in assisting pilots, but the job still has stringent requirements of the pilot.

Of course it is. It's descriptive and searchable.

Because * / - + is the common ground that essentially everyone is familiar with. And that's about as much math notation as makes sense in general purpose programming languages.

There is only one math but many programming languages. Multiplication is universal and fundamental. Creating JSON objects in nim is the opposite of that.

Very true and these are the gold standard in some regards. But not everyone has a crystal ball and are beholdant to external factors they don't control. E.g. the pcie bus evolving forces Linux to change, and not all change is bad.
The issue with these small machines like lawn mowers and chainsaw is not really they CO2 the pump out, which is minuscule compared to all the other sources of CO2, but rather that they have zero pollution controls and put out a lot of particulates, unburned hydrocarbons and whatnot. It's a question of local pollution, not global climate.

And further, since your average homeowner doesn't use his chainsaw or lawn mower that much, they are relatively insensitive to the price of gas. Or IOW, if you were to raise the price of gas enough to reduce usage of these machines that way, it'd grind the whole economy to a halt.

The point he makes about eschewing fame to stay grounded could probably be applied to modern society and social media in general. I have only a passing familiarity with Tim Minchin from the past, but he seems like a thoughtful and introspective guy with a timely message.
People that just bought a leaf blower can still use it. Banning sales is therefore much better economically, and enforcement is also much simpler.
How on earth would a US citizen independently analyse information about (for example) Hunter Biden's interactions with Ukraine? It costs hundreds of dollars and most of a workweek to fly from the US to Ukraine and then at least 6 years of education+experience to competently practice independent investigative journalism.

Almost nobody has time to learn to do that, conn a ship, or butcher a hog. People spend most of their time on their their friends, family, and employer. We need have to have thoughtful and attentive sources we can trust.
Also programmers. Walmart is a massive Clojure shop, puts out some very good open source libs, and very much views their IT department as a competitive advantage and not a cost center.
> people just didn't get that you could do the composition in code

Yeah, Java does that to people. It's such a limited language that it becomes impossible to conceive of better ways to solve problems.

Apparently it's come a long way since Java 6, it's even broken backwards compatibility, never expected that to happen. It's adopted many functional concepts in the usual insanely verbose Java style. Still a very limited language though, especially when compared to real functional and object-oriented languages. It's limited even when compared to C.
The theorems predate Turing's theorem. As for the halting problem, it is solvable with an oracle, unlike the incompleteness theorems.
It very nearly did. It is ALWAYS a world where such a project is nearly discarded. The way they got it made, and I've got a DVD with 'making of' commentary about this, is by working insanely hard and cramming in so many jokes at such a breakneck pace that the result is just giddy, demented comedy.

That will ALWAYS be possible. You don't get to half-ass it and think just being offensive is enough. Check out the Red Letter Media take on 'Top Secret': these producers had a LOT more going on than just being offensive, and that is absolutely a factor in 'Airplane', hugely so.

The secret is that the offensiveness is only one of many surprises executed at a audacious, rapid pace. In 'Top Secret' they got considerably more surrealist, but that's exactly when you can get away with an offensive joke: disorient with confusion, then pull a silly gag where it's apparently mean but the target of the gag is actually the straw-man power guy (HEDley…)

No matter WHEN you're doing this, if you half-ass it you've got no chance. Comedy's actually a lot of work.
That doesn't change the fact that the concept was obvious. In fact that's how offline desktop mapping programs worked before online mapping of any time existed. (Remember those? Microsoft AutoRoute for example!)

Perhaps you could interpret the parent comment as "if you're doing online mapping [and mouse drag/drop is possible in the browser], the first thing you think of ..."

> If you're trading in a car that's less than 5 years old, then it takes a long time to offset the "new car" footprint.

Then again, your old car is resold not destroyed and it will probably be bought on the second hand market by someone replacing a more polluting car.
> Florida has the second highest per Capita number of old people in the country

This isn’t a great excuse for Florida’s death rate. Maine has the highest per capita elderly population in the US and the 3rd lowest COVID death rate. Sure it’s got a lower population density, however: 25% of elderly (65+) Americans live in Florida, Texas and California. California had 1/2 the death rate of Florida and 3/4 that of Texas. All warm climates, all high population density. The only difference was California’s restrictions and higher vaccination rate.

It’s hard to see how Florida’s policy was more effective, particularly with regard to protecting its elderly.
This is not going to improve the stereotype about Americans being bad at mental maths.

Docker is terrible on Macs, but I used to run Docker+vscode+Firefox+Brave+Slack+misc. I'd run into issues on my 2015 MBP from time to time, but on the 2019 models it was fine.

gulp.watch would often eat an entire core, and stuff in Docker ran slower than on Linux, but my laptop could keep up. vscode didn't lag and Firefox ran just fine—all with 5+ Docker containers running.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is domesticated brewing yeast. While yeast is ubiquitous in the environment it will generally be other saccharomyces, brettanomyces, and so on. Saccharomyces pastorianus would have been interesting, as it' used for modern lagers but is believed to have evolved much more recently.

S. cerevisiae is believed to have originally been isolated from grape skins, but no one is sure. But it's mostly found in and around breweries and in people's homes today and not in the wild. If it's in old human waste, they were drinking something fermented.

Here's a cool paper about it[1].

This is exactly right. What is the REPL story with NIM? Having used a REPL, I cannot even imagine doing research & analytics without one.

FWIW, this comparison between R, Pandas and Nim dataframes is quite encouraging: https://gist.github.com/Vindaar/6908c038707c7d8293049edb3d20...

This is one of the aspects that self professed R/Python datascience contenders often get wrong. The very bare minimum is a well supported and thought out dataframe library. Without that, the language is basically dead in the water. Nim seems to have a very well thought out API that also avoids many of the annoying aspects of Pandas (e.g. the huge waste coming from eagerly computing each vectorized operation into separate arrays).
'Saturated' is used in control systems engineering for any value (sensor input, drive output etc.) that has reached maximum or minimum value and can't be further increased/decreased. It's the same sense of the word as used in the HSV colour space in computer graphics.

Curiously, Smalltalk also lacks the idea of a function. Everything is an object; instead of a function, you have a code block which is an object.

But, unlike Java, Smalltalk is (utterly) dynamic, and you don't have to declare a class for your code block. In Java, you had to dance that dance, until lambdas were introduced to let the compiler do that for you.
I'm in my 40's. My grandfather told me stories about going to the dentist when he was young: Foot-powered pneumatic drills drills were still in use (electric drills were available and up to about 50% higher rpm by the time he was a little boy)

Foot powered drills reached 2,000 rpm and only dates to the mid 1800's. Early electric dental drills reached about 3000 rpm in 1914. Modern dental drills are 40,000 rpm - 800,000 rpm depending on type and use (with the highest rpm being mostly for precision work).

I shudder to think what the 2k-3k rpm ones would be like to be subjected to - I find the low rpm current drills used for high torque, low precision work bad enough.

But the hand drills that went before them were typically in the region of 15 rpm...

So as someone who has been through enough dental work that new dentists tends to marvel at all the exciting work they can see examples of when examining me, I absolutely share the terror when thinking of ancient dentistry. (On the other hand, I'd probably have died of complications in my 20's if I'd had the same dental damage back then)

It's everyone else that is losing this battle.
>>Insurance rates dictate the minimum age... which is often around 26.

Many of the larger trucking companies are self insured, so this really does not apply to them

>>Average age of a truck driver is 56. So 4 years from retirement.

Where do you get that drivers will retire @ 60? For most of them their Social Security will not kick in until 67, and I do not know many drivers that have a fully funded individual retirement account.

>>Federal laws are now much stricter on disclosure, so drivers who would have just moved from company to company after an accident..

This is really not due to Federal laws, there is a company the name escapes me right now that is similar to Consumer Credit Agency that tracks all driver activity, companies self report accident, and other adverse load events to this reporting agency

Edit: DAX/DAC System I believe, or something like that

>>Wages are going up quickly and many drivers are changing jobs once per year (sometimes more)

They are still using the flawed Per Mile pay scheme which means drivers will still end up being screwed in the end.
Further more companies are adopting the "Owner Operator" model where by the driver is leasing the truck from the company at an obscene rate far more than the truck is actually worth, and the driver then bares all the costs and if they do not get enough work the company takes back the truck, leases to a new sucker, and send the original driver into collections bankrupting him/her

Not to say that I disagree, but it's worth noting that your criteria pushes the onus of an interview away from purely objective metrics into territory that overlaps with communication and rapport.

Again, I don't necessarily disagree with that, but I think it's always useful to consider how much of my interview criteria can be reduced to "do I vibe with the candidate" and make sure there's more to my interview than just that (there IS a place for it though. The world isn't an objective metric)

If you write a small piece of code and can't tell if it is going to work or not you don't really understand what it does.

We are not talking using external dependencies or frameworks. I am talking simple code that you just wrote in entirety, maybe couple of loops and conditionals.

If you can't predict what that small piece of code does, exactly, you are thoroughly unable to write reliable code, by definition.

Reliable code == code that does exactly what you intend it to do, nothing less, nothing more.

If you can't predict what your code does you are writing buggy code. Experimentation can uncover some of the bugs, but if you start with buggy code the experimentation will never remove all bugs -- only the ones that are easy to detect.

Thomas Jefferson even wrote 200 years ago “ To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, ‘by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only.’ Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation of its benefits, than is done by its abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knolege with the lies of the day. I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading newspapers, live & die in the belief, that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time; whereas the accounts they have read in newspapers are just as true a history of any other period of the world as of the present, except that the real names of the day are affixed to their fables. General facts may indeed be collected from them, such as that Europe is now at war, that Bonaparte has been a successful warrior, that he has subjected a great portion of Europe to his will, &c., &c.; but no details can be relied on. I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.”
