Always curious of how you walk around the latent space in these, are you just linearly interpolating between two random high dimension points?
Hey this is an interesting idea. How would it be done though?

For example I've noticed certain similarities across classical statistics, Machine Learning and digital signal processing. But they all seem to come at it from different angles, and they often use different terminology. Sometimes a field will rediscover something discovered elsewhere a long time ago, eg the trapezium rule.

> but that doesn't stop you from generating the above nonsense list.

lol it's not nonsense. Every item I've listed offers something unique.

> Just look at the last 5 items... seriously - all these Illumos derivatives are distinct operating systems in competition with one another?

Actually the differences in the Illumos derivatives are quite fundamental:

- Nexentra is aimed at being an enterprise storage solution with Debian user land. That's massively unlike Illumos

- Smart OS is designed to be a smarter virtualisation and containerisation host OS. It even bundles Linux's KVM virtualization. It's not intended to be run as a desktop platform

- OpenIndiana and Illumos are probably the most similar, however OpenIndiana aims to be more true to OpenSolaris while Illumos aims to be more of a hybrid upstream. So while they're both multi-paradigm (like how Debian can be a desktop or server OS) there are some major differences in their commit tree.

Honest question: how close are you to the Illumos projects? Or are you just an outsider looking in and making assumptions about equivalence based on your experience with Linux? I ask because Illumos forks are much more akin to BSD forks than they are Linux distros.

> Be serous, that list only further proves my point about the total lack of distinguishing difference in the present offerings - relative to the pre-linux environment.

Even if you want to pare down the list to upstreams, you still have half a dozen BSDs (I really hope you at least have enough experience with BSD to realise these aren't just respins like Linux distros), Illumos, Minix, and Darwin. Verses your point in the 90s which was basically non-free BSD, non-free SysV, non-free QNX, non-free Minix etc....you still have those options now PLUS the ones I've listed.

This is the problem with your argument. You're assuming the old choices have gone away, which they haven't...well, apart from SCO and Minix is now free. And in addition we have dozens of interesting new platforms, some of which I've exampled, too.

There's no way on Earth we have less choice now than in the 90s. We might have the industry largely standardising on a subset but that's an entirely different argument and it's only representative of the lowest common denominator doing common problems. However if you look slightly outside of the status quo and you'd see there is a lot of variety still happening in the industry. I know this first hand too -- as I've said in my previous post, I've worked in plenty of places that weren't just Linux shops :)

It would bring bitcoin price down to zero. Also, I'm not sure that miners can do that without everyone else agreeing.
I have read Snow Crash and The Diamond Age. I highly recommend The Diamond Age, it’s just so… interesting. And stunning in parts.
I may be biased due to familiarity with imperative programming, but I think it is natural to think in a way that mutate states, as we live in a mutable world. I agree that functional programming might be easier to compose and reason about in a high level but it may be hard to teach beginners these abstractions, e.g., consider how many monad tutorials out there. Concepts that experienced users think are trivial may actually be confusing to beginners, especially if they are abstract...

I do agree that C++ is not a good language for beginners. I think a language similar to Python but with static type checking will be a good one.
>I'm not a native English speaker, but "has been" is a past tense. Then they explain why these times have indeed passed.

Not being a native English speaker seems to have led you down the wrong path here.

As a native English speaker, I can confirm that you're incorrect in your assessment.

The phrase "has been," e.g., 'the dog has been feeling poorly', or 'Steve has been lying to you', or 'For the last 75 years, the U.S. dollar has also been a reliable store of value.' absolutely refers to what has already happened, but it certainly does not exclude the idea that whatever 'has been' is still happening.

In fact, both of my examples, as well as your quote strongly imply that what "has been" the case continues to be so.

If you cannot properly interpret English as it's actually used, then perhaps someone can help you with that, rather than refuse to engage with you[0].

Unless, of course, you are uninterested in anything that contradicts what you want to believe.

Oh, and you're welcome.

Actually looking into this, it seems like it depends on jurisdiction. What you are saying seems to be true in England and USA, but here in Sweden the definitions seems to exclude foundations, as they have neither members or owners, and therefore they are not a group of people.

i think PAIP is an absolute gem! not just for learning lisp, but for software engineering in general. not only that but you can read it online in .md format with proper syntax highlighting, which provides for a much better experience. and in fact not only even that (!!), but if you use org-mode you can convert .md files to .org files flawlessly via pandoc and enjoy the whole experience interactively (like jupyter notebook, but only on a whole different leve)

Yes, and that's REST+..., not REST. If you've got a websocket, you're explicitly making the design choice that client-side application state can live outside the HTTP payload.

The key question is this: given a link and some subsequently-received websocket data, could a second client reconstruct the same application state given only a link? If the answer to that is "no", then what you have is not a system which supports HATEOAS. It's just not something people pay attention to once websockets are in the mix. Granted, you might get there by accident, depending on what you're doing with them, but I don't often see that as a design goal.

With enough motivation, competitors can reverse their efforts. Reversing (competitors' job) is finding just only one flaw in a system. Hardening (WhatsApp's job) is thinking about all the possible ways it could be flawed. It can be an endless cat and mouse game though I guess.
I don't think it's very coherent to criticise the team because "Python can't quite decide what it wants to be", but also criticise them for not adopting all these crazy cool changes that would fundamentally change Python.

Taking a highly conservative approach to breaking changes is absolutely not the same thing as being indecisive. The Python team has learned from experience how disruptive breaking changes can be.
> Concurrency is impossible to prove sound without language-level guarantees.

Not sure I understand that. The proposal is not to simply get rid of the GIL, but to have a two-tier mechanism that ensures correctness with all the C source that uses the macros it should use and doesn’t mess with refcounts behind Python’s back (doing sketchy stuff usually ends up in pain)
Without knowing anything about how python is being developed, but I know that the python 2 -> python 3 transition was nearly fatal. And from other projects I know that the easiest way to prevent such events is that you put people in charge. Such a fundamental change as getting rid of the GIL may well trigger a similar situation if not done well (and maybe even if done well). It is the choice to manage the current limited status quo vs risking the future of the project on a bet that an improvement can be made without bifurcating the community again.
Copyright law exists in China, and enforcement has dramatically ramped up over the last decade.

Since 2014, there have been specialized IP courts in major cities, and the volume of IP litigation in China is now similar to that in the US. China used to be the Wild West of IP, but that's been changing.
I was also confused at the headline but felt the comparison made sense by the end of the article.

> Why not at least benchmark the query execution alone instead of startup and loading of data?

Because they don’t intend to have R running with 4gb of data in memory constantly.

I’d assume there’s a SQLite /duckdb instance running, but that it is negligible. Maybe the test even includes starting the database server.

So the perspective is “I want some data on my hard drive, and I want to query it from R every once in a while, what are my options?”

And suddenly a file format becomes comparable to a database.

Another way to look at it is to consider the compiled arrow code in the arrow library as a database engine. Then arrow is just another alternative to SQLite.

Transfer payments.

Historically made under the threat of violence by a populist king or warlord. Who, in almost all cases where the transfer payments continued, was swiftly replaced by a republic. Bitcoin turns the clock back to the feudal reality of land-owning nobles. We just made the cost of defending the land vanishing.
Yes, I got this. Just wanted to point out that a particular consequence of extrapolating would be that players can see enemys around corners. You already mention that the game would be unplayable if players get teleported every few ms, and above just describes why, aside from aesthetics, makes it unplayable.
Thanks for the feedback! (I'm the founder of Encore)

Your thoughts are very much in line with where we're going. We're working on natively supporting queues, pubsub, object storage, etc. Our roadmap is available at https://encore.dev/roadmap which should give you an idea.

We definitely intend on supporting more storage options. We already do provide end-to-end integration testing out of the box that integrates with Go's built-in testing support.

The authentication should be pretty flexible; was there something you were thinking of that makes it too opinionated or inflexible?

Thanks!
So what you are basically saying is that the stock market is not really a free market; and has arbitrary restrictions to make everything looks stable and legit. Okay.
> For the last 75 years, the U.S. dollar has also been a reliable store of value. This is a result of its comparatively good management by the Federal Reserve and the strength, resilience, and reputation of the U.S. economy. In fact, it is the most widely held fiat currency in the world and recognized as the global reserve currency, denominating and settling the majority of international trade.

Basically their whole schtick: "we believe that the US dollar has been amazing, now we found this new asset class we believe we can invest and earn money on, this is our marketing piece for why you should believe that too".

They aren't "fighting the man", they are trying to convince others to jump onto the bandwagon which they are heavily invested in to make a profit.

Not sure why you are still caught up on this ideological debate when Bitcoin has long ago left that camp of ideology and got absorbed into the pure financial-capitalist camp...

Bitcoin now is to make money, not to fight the system. Fighting the system is just the marketing fluff being used to capture people like you.

Good luck and godspeed.
I enjoyed Permutation City, Quarantine, and some of his earlier short story collections, even at their most difficult. But I quit Diaspora fairly early.

I worked really hard to understand the first chapter’s dense descriptions of ridges, grids and virtual machine elements, all the while thinking how a single picture would have made things far simpler.

When a later chapter started describing a torus in great detail I thought, if I’m going to be working this hard, I’d rather be reading a technical book about a topic I was interested in. So I did, and I remember it was way easier, and more edifying.
There's an R package for that! Well, multiple really. The `sqldf`[1] package has been around for a while, there's `tidyquery`[2] and also one I wrote called `duckdf`[3]. All three support writing SQL queries to directly access dataframes.

I think both you & GP share many similarities, the main difference being your perceived risk of COVID-19.

GP acknowledges the disease but concludes that, due to the high chance of survival, mandates are unwarranted.

You acknowledge the 99% chance of survival but conclude that, due to the high (and still growing) number of deaths, civic duty is needed.

At which point would GP perceive "people's freedom" as "self centered selfishness"?

At which point would you perceive "civic duty" as "shameless propaganda"?

Clarifications from Roy himself:

https://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/rest-apis-must-be-hypert...

• A REST API should not be dependent on any single communication protocol

• A REST API must not define fixed resource names or hierarchies

• A REST API should be entered with no prior knowledge beyond the initial URI (bookmark)

• A REST API should spend almost all of its descriptive effort in defining the media type

This is the exact opposite of what people usually do and call it "REST": a predefined URL scheme for JSON tied to HTTP semantics

(this not to say that Roy's REST is in any way better; JSON over HTTP is nice. It's just funny that popular definitions of REST have flipped 180°).

That makes as much sense as claiming that a free society isn't really free because you're subjected to arbitrary restrictions that punish you for stealing and embezzling.
The dark side of .io (2014)
(SQLite and DuckDB are both client-side databases.)
I believe this is a hit piece. The author uses the word "controlled" in a misleading way that leads readers to think that the value offer of bitcoin decentralization is not true or worst, whatever product that builds on it is deceiving their customers. Talks very poorly of the author and everyone else involved.
I think the first step is to harvest domains.

Start with the domains that are by far most popular
as a seed for the database.

Then I can see two probably not very good idea.

If the user does not get a hit on their query for domain, the search engine would query bing/google/or other and present a list of possible values.

Then the engine would learn.

It could also be a browser plug in
that records domains and search terms used.

There is no reason to record who sends it
just what the values were.

Given a lot of people running it across different countries it would slowly build an index.

Since this is a privacy violation it would probably not
be popular.

I wonder how long of a list of most popular domains I can find.
I think it's a bit more complicated. We just arrived a little while ago in late-stage capitalism (around 2007 I reckon?), so now looking forward it's either revolution or back to feudalism.

One of the issues with graphql is that it doesn't use HTTP semantics. Errors are 200 status with an error field in the body. Queries are POST /graphql for everything (ok, so they don't have to be, but once you've got anything in your system that needs to go over a POST request, everything else will).

This is problematic in any environment which expects those arguments to have been settled a decade ago and has built its monitoring around them. Ask me how I know.
For timestamps I like to use something like,

TZ=UTC git log -n1 --format='%cd' --date='format-local:%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S'

There's probably a better way to do that, but the basic gist is to derive the most recent commit date.

(Disclaimer: co-founder of Vamp.io, now acquired by CircleCI)

Well-known opensource projects for "progressive delivery" are Argo Rollouts and Weave Flagger. These work in a GitOps way though. We have been developing Vamp.io to focus on the "canary releasing" and "controlled go-live" on top of K8s infra.

We're now working hard on integrating these progressive delivery Deploy&Release features nicely and seamlessly into the bigger CircleCI platform, and will shortly be opening up these features in "private beta" mode.

So expect CI/CD tools like CircleCI to be expanded with these features soon, as they provide much value to the software lifecycle.

I realise you're looking for Opensource, i respond because you also mentioned CircleCI and we're actively working on this deployment&release logic area as we speak.
That's not correct. If it were true then there would not be high case numbers in countries with very high vaccination rates, but there are.

UK data shows that vaccinated people are more likely to get COVID than unvaccinated people at this point. You cannot argue that vaccination makes you less likely to catch it with figures like that - it's just a made up talking point to try and justify deeply unwise and unethical mandates.

Bitcoin is not governed by spending energy and CPU. In fact all miners on earth could disappear except a guy with a Pentium IV on his basement doing all the BTC mining on the world, and it would still work. The difficulty of the hashing would adjust so that it would be possible for his weak slow guesses to send a block every 10 min.

Being able to print more would actually be a benefit as it allows for inflation. Central banks typically aim for 1-3% inflation to get people spending money and allowing the economy to function instead of just hoarding it.
> Expand the money supply without expanding the value that money represents

Literally the only way to increase the money supply is increasing the underlying assets' value overall.
