It's the most fundamental and core theory of computer science that "The Grand Unified Programming Theory: The Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow with Principle-based Warehouse/Workshop Model"

My theory based on the simple, classic, vivid, and widely used in social production practice, elementary school mathematics "water input/output of the pool" as a mathematical prototype, Therefore, it is scientific.

The "von Neumann architecture" and "programming paradigms" used by computers now has no mathematical model support. So it cannot prove its scientificity.

My theory rebuilt the theoretical foundation of the IT industry, The IT industry is fundamentally associated with mathematics. Solved the most fundamental and core major problems in the IT industry.

Therefore, my "warehouse/workshop model" will surely replace the "von Neumann architecture" and other "programming paradigms", become the first architecture in the computer field, and it is the first architecture to achieve a unified software and hardware.

Software and hardware are factories that manufacture data, so they have the same "warehouse/workshop model" and management methods as the manufacturing industry.

In the IT field, only it and binary system fully comply with these 5 aesthetics: Simplicity, Unity, order, symmetry and definiteness.

It has a wide range of applications, from SOC to supercomputer, from software to hardware, from stand-alone to network, from application layer to system layer, from single thread to distributed, from general programming to explainable AI, from manufacturing industry to IT industry, from energy to finance, from the missile's "Fire-and-Forget" technology to Boeing aircraft pulse production line technology, from myth to Transformers.

Most wealthy people are likely to own dividend paying stocks, so valuations don't matter as much for risk re the market.

They get paid every quarter by the company, and can just live off of passive distributions.

If they follow what you're proposing, they pay the higher tax rate anyway. But also don't think that's really feasible at very high net worth.
I didn't mean to suggest that millionares are a majority in the US. But they may well be a majority of those with the time, energy, money, and influence to meaningfully invest into political activities. A majority of those elected to Congress, including major wealth tax pushers Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, are millionares.

Broke people everywhere may harbor resentment toward the ultrarich, but it wouldn't be the national dialog we're having if millionaires in Congress and their millionaire friends in media didn't find it politically advantageous to turn billionaires into boogeymen.

Again, Gates is buying farms and you're speculating about Blackrock even though I provided you a much more reasonable alternate narrative. They're buying fundamentally different kinds of land for fundamentally different reasons and purposes.

> But most important issue at hand is your insistence that it "can't happen here". It can. You will see it for yourself over the next 2-3 years.

Ok cool, so no evidence of this either, just your gut. I'm not saying it can't, anything can happen. I'm saying there's no reason to believe it will, certainly not in the next 2-3 years, just as folks said in 2008. But instead of a cataclysm we got bailout loans repaid for substantial profits - and a Fed happily unwinding its balance sheet without issue until, you know, COVID.

> You can't do what the Fed did and experience no repercussions.

Again, no basis for this assertion. And they can reduce the supply at their discretion. Because there's no printer. They control the demand for fractional reserve loans by managing interest rates, and they control the supply by adjusting reserve rates. They brought the money into the world and they can just as well take it back out.

> Keep believing what you believe, I'll take the other end of your bets.

Ok, again.

The brain reaches for words in a totally different (and often more effortless) way when you are talking vs. when you are writing. Further, putting a music beat on and trying to keep up with your speech can give you a useful impetus to just get words out.

Platforms exist to support applications, not the other way around. Applications weren't born wanting to reimplement the native controls, they did it because the native controls are not only uglier but also less usable and hopelessly inconsistent between different platforms.
Well, of course they do. There's a terrific market for pharmaceuticals.
You’ve got it backwards. ‘Natural selection’ was coined to point out that selective forces exist in the wild other than humans deliberately breeding selected animals, which was well known in Darwin’s time. There’s ‘selection’ by humans and ‘natural selection’ which is by effects other than human selection. The effects of human hunting are a boundary case, where the selection pressure is not intended, but is a ‘natural’ consequence.
The correct answer in my opinion has nothing to do with corporate taxation. The US government for some reason(s) (for another day) is almost completely unwilling to simply redistribute money to fund things it decides are worthy goals. Instead it creates tax credits and deductions that are supposed to do the same thing (at least for "the worthy").

We need to stop using tax code to implement policy. Taxes should be taxes, and if the government decides to pay people to encourage them to install solar PV/have children/buy new cars/invest in bitcoin/whatever, then the government should send them a check to do so.

So we're mostly in violent agreement, except that if corporations have any of the rights of people (and likewise, if people can somehow claim to be corporations), then I want them taxed just like people.
Rock n roll dude. Suggest that Tiger Woods can get a hole in one every time and people attack you as if you had questioned their fundamental religious beliefs. Ramanujan created an approximating function for pi in 1904 and nobody knows how it works. Packed with factorials to the gills. It's not like the digits of pi are a secret to be computed every time and to try and snag a spare computation cycle here and there -- they are what they are. And finding a pattern comes down not to the self-evident information, but to the method.

The specific people mentioned are certainly nowhere near as important to society as their wealth makes it appear.

Can you honestly point to Bezos and say he is "worth" 196,100,000 times more to society than the Amazon warehouse worker who has $1000 in the bank?

Did he put in 190 million man hours more than the Warehouse worker?

Did he have ideas that were 190 million times better? What kind of IQ would you need to pull that off?

It a matter of good ideas, some long hours no doubt, right time, right place and leverage the work of many thousands of others.

Smart work, but not worth 190 million times his lowest paid.

This level of wealth inequality is indicative of a broken system.

I wondered about this early in my career, and brought it up at a meeting of teammates. Now certainly our little discussion isn’t enough data to be proper proof, but we decided upon the following:

The phrase “do the needful” is never utter without an undertone of “you fucked up, please fix your fuckup immediately”. The funny part was that none of the Indian folks who used this phrase frequently would cop to it. Strong denials all around. But every example we could find in our email, that tone was certainly there.

Take from that what you will.
Are you aware of what TopoR can do? And yes, for 1/2 layer routing it seems to work fine when fed from Kicad.

For relatively insensitive signals, or when you can constrain the layout with rough guidance to something that should easily pass signal integrity, this technology makes it so you can go get lunch while the computer gets a decent layout that you'd typically check before sending it off to the prototype fab or get started on quickly running one in-house (for that <2h turn-around from layout to power-on, including printing and soldering).

> that's not really true of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, or a lot of representatives in congress

We can cite a few examples, but the great majority of elected Democrats, including the most powerful one (Biden) are centrists.

> The democratic party is definitely more moderate compared to republicans (where all but a tiny handful are just trump loyalists), but that's a pretty low bar - they still have a lot of policies I don't like in addition to the woke stuff.

If by 'moderate' you mean, 'between the current partisan positions', then moderate is just a different kind of partisan, one who makes choices by (bizarrely) navigating between what other people say.

But if we mean, 'non-partisan', let's evaluate policies based on their consequences, not based on what partisan rhetoric and positioning they've been tagged with.

IME, many moderates are the former (to be clear, I have no idea about you) - they are afraid of the conflict imposed mostly by the neo-reactionary right (which now runs the GOP), so they go along on reactionary commentary (attacking 'woke' people) because it's safe - the progressives have little power to threaten them - and then quietly object to some reactionary policies.

Nice article. Tricky bug. Good diagnosis.

I enjoy diagnosing concurrency issues and thinking about what principles I could use to avoid similar issues in future.

Two principles that are relevant to this example are:
1. Reduce the number of places a lock is acquired.
2. Reduce the scope of locks.

(1) would suggest two potential improvements:

a. broadcastToStream shouldn't take the lock at "First, we check if we have a particular stream, if not, we return.". Leave the stream existence check to the go pool. This would have avoided the issue but could cause more contention on the GoPool in the case of unrecognised stream names, which might not be acceptable.

b. Don't acquire the lock in the go pool function within broadcastToStream. Rather, find the list of clients within broadcastToStream, and refer to that within the Go pool function. This also might not be acceptable, depending on hoe the lifetime of client and hub related: clients could receive messages after an unsubscribe.

(2) would suggest the fix you made.

That said, hindsight is 20:20 and I expect I'd make similar bug.
Yeah, no. Neither is software engineering.
As I understand it, Raft is much more commonly relied upon than Paxos. Raft uses concepts from Paxos, but is not Paxos. So, a proof about Paxos is not a proof about Raft.

I do have family which have decided not to have kids. My first comment is the conclussion I came to long ago.

I know it is not a popular opinion.

I have come to accept that for people to understand what a mental illness truly is they must both come in close contact to it AND have some education about it. Which is the reason it is almost impossible for society to understand how hopeless addictions and homelessness truly are. Or to understand why people who don't have money for the day after have many kids, while people who have all basic neccessities covered won't have any.
I know it because I've read about them for years. Keep up on public affairs; it's sometimes almost impossible to show up at the last minute and be informed.

> The specific people mentioned are certainly nowhere near as important to society as their wealth makes it appear

No one knows how much someone is "worth to society". Not me, and not you. Not even Bezos. This is not even a well-defined question.

But what we do know is that this is not what money measures, and attempts to politicize that -- to create some algorithm that decides what someone is worth to society, and then pay them according to that algorithm, always lead to terrible outcomes.

In the same way, we don't know how good or evil Bezos is, and neither is money a measure of good points net evil points.

The sooner we abandon these weird discourses around money, trying to endow it as some kind of metaphysical tally, or make it conform to some metaphysical tally, the better.

I hope nobody proves that "P!=NP" because that would just be too boring, too expected.

I think the coolest possible outcomes would be one of the following:

(a) some bizarre algorithm which solves an NP-complete problem in polynomial time but with utterly intractable exponents or constants, for example worse than O(n^(10^100)) – so, yes, P=NP, in a completely useless way, and still nobody would know if a useful P algorithm for an NP-complete problem exists

(b) a non-constructive proof that P=NP

(c) an independence proof, that the question is independent of ZF(C)

(d) a proof that you can't prove "P!=NP" from ZF(C), but which left open the question of whether "P=NP" was provable from ZF(C) or not

(e) proof of something like "P!=NP implies not-CH" or "P!=NP implies not-AC"

I realise the odds are against any of the above. But, here's to hoping for the bizarre unexpected outcome, rather than merely "we just hadn't yet developed the technique to prove what most people thought was true all along" – which would be less profound, less mysterious

On a somewhat different topic, if my hope is for naught, and there indeed exists a proof that "P!=NP" out there waiting to be discovered, even actually discovered in a few years or decades or centuries time, then I've just expressed a counterpossible hope, a hope that an impossible world were actual – which, I think, is a philosophically rather interesting hope to express.
On the contrary, I think the popularity of YAML says that most people want a horribly complicated language that will guess what they mean and so feel simple to write, rather than a language that's simple to understand. It's the language equivalent of tag soup, or Perl.

Something like Dhall is much better for long-term maintainability. But people don't want a language that makes them write consistent, maintainable code. They'd rather have a language where you can leave the quotes off your strings and it will work most of the time except when it doesn't.

Indeed. In fact, failure to work with other (local) law enforcement agencies was one of the reasons the FBI had such a bad day in the 1986 Miami shootout. This is taught as a textbook example of what not to do in the military and LEO communities today.

They like to portray local vs federal in Hollywood as a trope, but in reality, inter-agency cooperation is (supposed to be) the norm.

How does your ad hominem questioning of their expertise / how they became involved invalidate the results?

The study reached its statistical significance goal, and thus the study was ended as it would be immoral beyond that point to continue to give people placebos when they knew the drug was working. I'd suggest reading up on the Tuskegee syphilis study for the ethics behind why studies are ended early once treatments have been statistically validated.
