I've rewritten an old application that was a rewrite of a mainframe (prob COBOL I guess). There were quirks that we still had to carry over. Luckily there were some old hands that can sometimes tell you why and we didn't always have to look into the CVS history and find bug-1376892.

For testing you'd run a few weeks of data through and make sure they match outputs exactly. In prod we'd run them in parallel a bit for each report before decommissioning it.

There'd always be something like..at the end of 3rd quarter if the last day is a Friday, some other junk happened and now your data looks different.

After a few we got a hang of which things were likely to break and was able to have certain parts driven by configuration and many could be fixed via an updating a config if a bug was found.
if I take a random American, what's the likelihood they're a person aged 50-64 and they're known to have had Covid by November 10, 2021 and then BP

Why would that be the calculation you're looking for? It's already off by an order of magnitude because the likelihood of any given American being in the age bracket is around 1:7. And it's another order of magnitude off because while not everyone has had a first infection or vaccination yet, everyone will, in the (not so) long run.

You're trying to prove you're less likely to get BP from Covid than from a vaccine while using a number -- the 0.08% -- that says the opposite, and yet you end up with a number you like. Because your calculation is just nonsense.

It's all kind of a moot point, since it's seemingly a relatively rare complication in both the disease and the vaccine; you're more likely to die from Covid than get BP if you're older than 45, as far as we know.

> You can provide the same benefit to men and women, but let's be honest, even when available most men take only a fraction of the allowed time.

I bet over time that fraction would grow larger as paternal leave got more normalized, especially if the parental leave could be spread out over a few years (like it can in many European countries) instead of over the first few months.

Here's how the percentage of parental leave days taken by mothers and fathers in Sweden has changed over the years [1]. Note that between 2002-2015 each parent had exclusive right to 60 of the total 480 days of parental leave (12.5%), that has since then been increased to 90 (18.75%).

People drink their heated water? I always thought that was a bad idea. Something about mineral build ups in the hot water heater or something? I only consume cold tap water and use my electric kettle to heat it up if needed. I only use hot water for bathing/showering, washing the dishes, and jump-starting the sous vide.
The costs to replace everything we have and force people to change behaviors are basically so large as to be impossible to calculate, or frankly pay for. This isn't software where you can engineer your way out of technical debt, the debt is baked into concrete, steel and psychological behaviors. Of those, I'd note the hardest one to change is that last one, it prevents the trillions from being spent to change the first two.

I'd also like to note, it's not a one time charge. It's 1.75b dollars a year ongoing in perpetuity, that's what bothers me, are there not other things we could spend 1.75b dollars a year on, that are more worthy? How many busses could 1.75b dollars a year buy?

In the end, our focus on what people perceive as perfection in urban development, gets in the way of making what we have more sustainable and incrementally better, which costs less, and sees much more immediate results.
> go to Apple

Is there an easy way to do that in the moment? Genuine question.

I (we) have many Apple devices and in my experience ‘it just works’ until it does not. And if not you are out of luck. No errors, no warnings, nothing. It ‘just does not work’. Googling mostly does nog give any usable solutions.

I would love to gave an instant phone or chat service. For free, because I feel like like really paying a lot already.
Thanks! First more reasonable answer that doesn't go into OS flamewars.

> I would gently encourage you to consider that other people likely aren’t idiots and are generally making decisions based on their requirements, which in some cases will not match yours!

That's the core of my question actually! I spelled it even out. I just don't get why reasonable people would buy such things.

I'm actually not sure the amount of trouble is the same on average: I'm not reading almost everyday about some obscure catastrophes on Linux (like not working memory management like here, not working mouse or keyboard, not working USB, not working monitors, etc.). The other thing is Apple supports only a fraction of the hardware Linux does. It actually seems they don't do any QA. All that broken stuff shouldn't ever reach end-customers. Especially as mostly all that has to be done is to test against their own products.
Julia does a few things differently then Common Lisp, though they both offer multiple dispatch.

One of the key things in CL is that it has its metaobject protocol which forces a lot of decisions on what gets executed to runtime. There are ways to speed it up, but if you have something like:

(defgeneric foo (x))
(defmethod foo ((x number)) (print 'number))
(defmethod foo ((x integer)) (print 'integer))
(defmethod foo :before ((x number)) (print 'also-a-number))
(foo 3)
(foo 3.0)

Then CL won't call foo specialized on number when given an integer, but will call foo :before specialized on number. It determines this at runtime by searching for all applicable methods based on the type (at least as a first pass, you can cache this to speed it up but then you also have to have cache invalidation if a definition is changed).

Julia doesn't have that aspect of CL's MOP. So this helps to simplify the search for applicable methods and dispatch. Even if it did all its dispatch at runtime, it would still be simpler. The other thing Julia does is aggressive JIT compilation. So if you wrote something like (with the Julia equivalent of foo from above):

function bar(x,y)
foo(x)
foo(y)
end

And, only considering floats and integers, later called it with each pair of float and integer then Julia would compile specialized versions for those 4 combinations. Now when you call bar it still has to properly dispatch it, but once inside bar the search for the correct foo can be bypassed because the types will be known. CL, again thanks to the MOP, doesn't make that as easy to achieve.

It works. Show me an EV truck that comes anywhere close to what a Tacoma, Tundra or 4runner can do.

Maybe they'll get there but there's gonna need to be some massive advances in batteries to be able to go off-road and pull loads like any of those current trucks can.
Interested if you could elaborate further here or have some pointers to good references. I feel like I'm at a turning point in my life where I'm starting to see things a little differently. Sometimes bewildered by how little knowledge or control there really is.
That's a weird paper.. no mention of Chernobyl, Three-Mile Island or any of the other major meltdowns or near catastrophes in the 1970s/1980s.

Perhaps the cheaper generation of nuclear plants were inherently unsafe, hence the more expensive costs going forward, necessitating a new learning curve as we "overbuilt" the plants to avoid thousand-square mile exclusion zones?
That's a weird perception - in my experience, .NET APIs have largely remained stable, at least when going back like half a decade. It's nothing compared to the node ecosystem, where yearly breaking changes are common, and looking at ta 5+ year old project, you'll see that the popular libraries for every problem used to be different.

I don't think this is true. I've been given resumes by bosses of people I've worked with before and told them not to interview based on previous interactions, whether they were good to work with or not, etc. You can burn every bridge as you cross it but eventually that will bite you. We software people like to pretend everything is a 1 or a 0 but that's not the case in the real world. Relationships matter.

I really liked how keybase [1] approached this issue, their methodology involves generating keys on the client and making it post "proofs" on whatever social media(s) you use. This gives a my identity -> My key relation, and their client (which is open sourced) would verify these proofs clientside. So it's a server aided but still trustless.

Unfortunately the development seems to have ceased after zoom acquired them.

It sounds totally bonkers if you’re not used to it but this is actually the norm in other countries. Both of us had comparatively long parental leave for both kids. Both kids went into really nice state kindergarten before they were 18 months. Before that if we were poorer we’d have our childcare subsidised. Both kids get things like a sports club grant each year, free dental care and free healthcare. There are state run after school clubs and so on.

The amazing thing to me is you think the OP was asking for something unbelievable.

> Twitter doesn't really have a long term strategy.

Bingo.

Of the two, Facebook has added functionality over the years that does quite well (groups supplant lazy entrenched competitors like forums and reddit, marketplace supplants lazy entrenched competitors like eBay and craigslist), while Twitter has... aligned themselves politically? Hired a bunch of bad ideas from Facebook to market themselves to celebrities (pre-censored posts)?

Speaking of aligning themselves politically, look at point #1 in their list of intended uses for the new API:

> Improve the health and safety of the public conversation

Looking to recruit free censors seems high on the list of needs / wants. The highest, as a matter of fact!
And if it was successful, would you have concluded that the plan worked and changed your political stance?

Most people would not. Most of us come to our conclusions and make the evidence fit (and not the reverse).

If you run an experiment with possible outcomes 'A' and 'B', but both outcomes reinforce one's philosophy/model, then they aren't really testing one's model.

I am not trying to advocate one way or the other, just commenting on how little reality actually changes people's perceptions.
My guess is that nobody will prescribe it?

Weird examples - isn't EV actually uniquely well-suited to off-road and towing? Maximum torque at zero-revs?

I can't wait to swap my Defender for a full electric variant when Land Rover manage to ship it - partly for the better capability.
Yeah, I'm embarrassed about that. It's way behind on tests.

The past 2 months of limited sleep were a massive scramble just trying to get everything implemented and trying to get the damn thing to sync properly. Things seem to work in practice, but it's very scary not having high test coverage, especially with a project like this. Now that everything has solidified and my sleep schedule has normalized a bit, it's my intention to take the time to write proper tests.

While they were able to get bitflips with all the modules. Difference between 100000 and 15 bitflips during 12h seems significant to me. Whatever mitigation manfacturer B has seems to be work a lot better than others. That's potential reason for choosing to buy that instead of others. If that where to be improved further and decreased probability 10000 times more it might reach the point where its comparable to random bitflips from cosmic radiation.

Enough of these companies create their own custom silicon.

Here is how I think they could help with just that:

If they could reduce their energy costs at the data center with this, that would help.

If they could sell custom hardware for crypto mining to reduce energy use, that would help.

Yes!

I've noticed that when I tweet via the API, those tweets receive less impressions vs the tweets that are posted via the web interface.

It's hard to distinguish whether this penalty is a result of my tweet's content, or a blanket penalty that assumes all programmatic tweets are spam.
I'd say taste can be more like musical talent. Someone can play well or poorly, and if they are good, we say they "have" talent, even though what we mean is we've observed them "doing" the music, and it is the effect of competence.

The metonymy itself clouds the concept as well. You can have an ear for music or an eye for design, a nose for a story or a conflict, a tact with others, but taste for...everything? My framing implies one would have a taste for power, even if it bends the lexical rule.

Everyone can have "good taste," by becoming competent at the things they do, and therefore have knowledge of which signals are meaingful and powerful in their domain, and which are not. They will not be equally reliable, as some people will have more experience, talent, or commitment.

The next big question is what power is, as in where is it located or come from, what are its sufficient and necessary conditions, is it real, and if it is what else must be real, and if it isn't, what else can't be, must something be conscious to be subject to it, and is power over unconscious objects or being/things real if they don't experience it, is political power anything other than stored potential energy in the form of violence, etc. I don't have answers, and I think the po-mo's were quite into that (Foucalt, Marcuse I think?). I'm sure someone here knows this stuff for real.

If you are sitting in a meeting with someone who has obviously tuned out and is typing into their laptop, consider the possibility this is what they're thinking about, and I find it makes them more likeable.
You're building up a ridiculous strawman. Why, in your farcical example, does "fully rational" mean by definition maximizing short-term economic gain? Even if it's hard to give an exact value to a relationship (are you quoting something or do you mean the word ironically?) certainly a good relationship is better than a bad one, and poisoning a relationship strictly for economic gain has some sort of opportunity cost.
