There's a few different aspects to your question.

> For example, you might specify that you require collection to be indexed with numbers...

You can't hide that, because in at least some of the uses of that collection, you're going to index it by numbers.

Other than that kind of detail, though, I think you can create collections that you can use without knowing the details in Haskell. To a lesser degree, you can in C++.

The last detail is creation. You might be able to create a "collection factory" to create it for you. But I'm not sure that it's any different to say "CollectionFactory.createCollection(FAST_FIND)" than it is to say "new HashMap()". I mean, the former means that you don't have to know that a HashMap is the collection you're looking for, so that's something. It's not all that much, though.
Well congratulations on a very cool career. I often lament the fact that there is no more Bell Labs. I try to promote that concept at my company knowing that I am just tilting at windmills.

Your facts are wrong. And I’m sorry you cant see the similarities between Korea and Vietnam. There was plenty of support for Kim Ill-Sung in South Korea as well, but there was plenty of opposition too.

The North was a brutal dictatorship propped up by China and the USSR.

The South was a brutal dictatorship propped up by the West.

Both had Vietnamese supporters. Again, to dismiss the South as not a real country is just twisting facts. It was a civil war between two Vietnamese factions and the South lost. Those are the facts.

The mythology the North has created around the war (just like every country does) is helped to keep its grip on power but is a gross oversimplification.

And you’re right, the US doesn’t get to choose which government a country has. But neither does Vietnam when it comes to Cambodia or Laos, but hey, they hasn’t stopped them!
I think I saw your tweet about getting nerd-sniped into figuring this out. Or was that another component?

What would be the reason for the pseudorandom ROM order? Just a side effect of the PC choice or deliberate?

sidenote: interesting that two sentences into your response I knew exactly what name I was going to see as the author. Thanks for the work you're doing and especially for documenting it. I've been reversing my old DSL-modem to pass time during lockdowns and since it's an obscure, asic based model it's highly educational to see you talk about figuring out things living on the hard/software boundary.
I find it interesting but not surprising how you can pretty much plot air ports and the in/out routes from this heat map.

Really people in winter clothes or blankets can tolerate very cold temperatures for a very long time, especially indoors out of the wind. Healthy people with adequate clothing in NYC could easily survive in -10C temperatures for a week or more. The more pressing need at that point would be access to water (assuming it needs electricity for distribution).
I'm going to assume there's no ill will or frustration in your comment.

To answer it directly and plainly, and from my experience only, the social challenges of autism are such a huge part. And so, sharing that with people I was closest to, gave me something to point to when things would get awkward or misunderstood. For example, it wasn't uncommon for people to not understand why I didn't see something the way they did. Under the lens of an autism diagnosis, it helped to explain that difference. And if I share that with you, the tension that arises next time will (hopefully) be lessened and better understood.

There's a great deal of confusion and feeling of being misunderstood that seems to be common with folks on the spectrum, and especially for myself. So to be able to put a name and understanding to that confusion gap is a massive relief. But there's a limit on that relief/understanding if I don't share that with you.

I'd question the implication behind the question. There's nothing inherently wrong about switching fields unless there's an effect of it that's undesirable like it working against developing seniority. But arguably it gives you a broader perspective than someone who's only worked in a single role.

I graduated in journalism, worked early in localization, started my full-time career in customer support and quickly moved into a technical focus, then switched to software engineering. My journalism degree has been useful in how I think about communicating in the office. My customer support and localization background gives me a particular empathy both for end users and "internal customers".

That said, I wouldn't say I -love- software engineering like I love music (which is a hobby I have no professional aspirations in). I'm not someone who consistently does Advent of Code stuff (I need a real problem to motivate me, not a puzzle or toy problem), but I find the projects I work on satisfying and I like (most of) my coworkers.

Buy an electric pressure cooker. You can cook 100% of your meals using one. I don't even use my oven or stovetop any more.
> Each new person who joins a queue goes to the front, standing immediately behind the person being served. This is, of course, an outrage against reason, intuition and natural justice. It is also highly efficient. If you’re next in line to be served, but someone shows up and shoehorns herself into position in front of you, you walk away. The line is only going to get longer, and you’re always going to be at the back.

> Under the Landsburg system, the stalls still serve one seasonal treat a minute

Except what would actually happen is everyone who wants a widget stands around “not in the queue” until the person being served is finished, at which point there’s a mad rush to be the next person served. So basically the same thing that happens when there’s no queue :D

Classic economist solution!
From my limited understanding of orbital mechanics from playing Kerbal Space Program, the furthest point of the orbit (aphelion) is where you reach minimum velocity. So to leave the Earth, you accelerate a lot (the so called burn) so that your orbit grows and as you get there your speed has been decreasing the whole way, and it increases back again after passing aphelion on your way back to Earth (perihelion).
I'm kind of surprised about the gas cooking not working. while a gas range is usually started with a spark from electric sparkers, they can also be started with a match or lighter.

Yeah PowerWall or generator is really the solution for this. They're surprisingly big electric hogs though - our furnace is 500W and is our biggest power draw during the winter. A PowerWall will only power this for about a day of continuous usage (realistically heater use won't be continuous because of thermostats and insulation, but it can be appreciable in cold climates).
Framelab by George Lakoff - if you’d like insights into how our minds work and the manipulation games played on us.
Heating small apartments in large buildings is very different from heating ample single family houses in New Jersey. Electrical power outages in New York City also have much more extreme consequences for example with subways and busy intersections needing lighting and traffic lights and as such there is more motivation to keep the power on at a whole community scale.
Thanks for finding this article. I agree, these are important developments in particular because so many econometric models are now using machine learning without any distributional assumptions. Using correlation coefficients based on linearity is grossly insufficient.

> Why doesn’t this model work in cars and allow us to get rid of the transmission

Nissan e-Power system does exactly that, but requires full EV powertrain. Added cost. Also punishes transmission suppliers.

> Why wouldn’t a hybrid run the engine at exactly that RPM to generate the best charge?

Toyota THS system kind of does this. Output shaft is driven at a speed that is function of resistance and generator RPM and engine RPM thereby allowing RPM to stay in optimal-ish area.

The more I think about future drivetrains, the remarkable and more remarkable Prius starts to look for me - everyone hates hideous Toyota aesthetics and so do I, but Toyota hybrid system is rather ingenious and really something.
This map and the light pollution map are virtually identical to the population density map. It’s a cool map but the data isn’t surprising at all.
Heat pump water heaters (most of them) take the same 30A @ 240V circuit that a standard electric resistance water heater uses, though running in HP mode, they draw far less than that. They typically have the standard 2 electric element setup as a backup/supplement to the HP, if you have high water demands.

> The US propped up a dictatorship in the South, I agree.

Good.

> And the North was a dictatorship propped up by the Chinese and USSR

No. The North was formed out of supporters of the anti colonial, nationalist side. Ho Chi Minh was a communist, but he was also a nationalist; he wasn't anybody's puppet. Just looking at Vietnam's difficult relationship with China should let you know it couldn't have been a "propped up by" sort of government.

> I’m not sure how you could look at the last 60 years of dictatorship in Vietnam and say the “right” side won.

Easy: the side fighting for independence against colonial oppressors is the right side. The US should understand this, it's allegedly one of their principles.

Life in Vietnam is not that bad, you know. There are Americans living there, even.

It's not the US right to choose other countries' form of government by force, anyway. I believe I've told you this multiple times already.

> I mean, the Vietnamese who risked their lives to flee probably disagree with you?

So? There were also collaborators with the French colonial rule. As was the case with British India; in every anticolonial struggle some locals have always opposed it.

I cannot argue with some group of nameless Vietnamese anyway, but you seem to speak for them through some kind of magic...

It's not directly your answer but I highly recommend this for elderly relatives and anyone susceptible to scams: I grabbed the signing certificates for Anydesk, Logmeinrescue and all the common "remote management" apps, and block them in Applocker.

Patronage is like the new normal for supporting people creating things online. My only rub is I don't need a VPS and I'm sure as heck not going to support anyone through a Microsoft-owned venture.

At least Liberapay is open, low-fees, not trying to be a loss-leader start-up, and not trying to be a social network.

It would probably look much like the search index that search engines use. These consist of both individual terms and tuples. (Phrase search can be constructed reasonably reliably by chaining ngram tuples.)

Rather than transferring the entire website, it would only be necessary to transfer the index itself. Mind that a sufficiently-large ngram-tuple index is itself large, I suspect limits to 3-word ngrams might be necessary, and should be reasonably sufficient.

I'm kicking around the prospect of a DNS-like query mechanism, with cache-and-forward capabilities. That could both distribute search and indexing load.

Reputation assessment and management remains the hard piece. Early computer science focused on the relatively easy problem of string search. At Web scale, the problem is of idnetifying reliable and useful sources. That itself isn't a static problem with a single solution as the landscape evolves in response to methods.
The average person just doesn't seem to care. I've observed first hand people feeling unbelievably entitled to force their noise onto others. This includes blasting music on portable speakers while in remote wilderness areas, stomping around in boots while living in a multi-floor apartment, and modified exhaust and emission systems, just to name a few. It's reflective of a pretty sad state of affairs in our culture, the selfish state of which has surfaced in many other ways lately. It frequently gives me Dr. Farnsworth moments [1].

I think it’s important to differentiate (as this website does) the human made noise from the natural.

I love being in the woods / fields / lakes. Fishing, hunting, hiking, etc. when you’re out there for a while you realize how much noise there really is. I wish everyone could / would take a few days a month and just spend it in the the natural world.

I feel revived after spending a day or two listening to the leaves blowing. As some have pointed out here, going back to civilization is hard. The noise doesn’t necessarily bother me on a conscious level, but it eats my focus and drains me throughout the day. Almost creating a tension, just from the constant sounds and being alert.

Hiring your own security guard is cheaper than paying an outsourcing firm.

Hiring your own janitor is cheaper than paying an outsourcing firm.

Building your own office is cheaper than renting one.

Doing your taxes with pen and paper is cheaper than paying turbo tax.

Making your own food is cheaper than eating out. Hiring a cook directly is cheaper than hiring sudexo.

I could keep going. But sometimes it’s not just cost. The biggest two values you get with AWS is 1) reducing time spent outside your business’s core competencies and 2) a vast ecosystem - 3rd party offerings, readily available devs, consulting services, and compliance services.

I’d add that for those having compliance needs. It’s not always as simple as rack and stacking infra. You have to use services that meet the compliance auditors needs.
Doubtless Hungarian Ashkenazim like von Neumann, Teller, Erdos, Soros were extraordinarily intelligent but I also wonder how much of this has to do with family environments and social connections vs. just innate capability.

One minor correction/change I would suggest, in the crontab example within the postfix section:

This will make it append to an existing log instead of overwriting it.

Definitely make sure you have that generator and also setup a local only monitor of the state of the system.

That makes sense, but it’s not a complete answer because to accomplish priority #2 the author has to go through additional work, such as applying for a business license, getting a domain name for their business, getting a pre-paid cell phone, and having their home address listed publicly. This risks receiving business solicitations at his home address.

If you have the first priority, why go through the trouble of the second priority? What I’d like to see is a plausible theory of monetization that accounts for the possibility of competitors redistributing his code. There may be one, but I don’t see it.

Those maps are generated by publicly available data (traffic, railway schedules, etc). In the case of airports/airbases, the data are generated with radar flight tracks. Military flight track data are often redacted (presumably because they can leak aircraft performance data) so it's not surprising that modeled noise from stealth aircraft was not calculated.
Sure. The point is a big portion of the base load for the city was generated by a nuclear plant a few miles away, and will shift to a foreign hydroelectric system hundreds of miles away.

Try the First principles approach. I first heard it from Elon Musk. It's the idea that if you work your way down to the basics then you can rebuild your solution as lean as possible.

You just look back at China's 5000 years Imperial history. It is no surprise of current development. Chinese history has never had Greek style democracy system. The closest in terms of political development will be Song dynasty which it has a chance to further survive, will likely turn into something like USA. Alas, ask any Chinese scholars, Song dynasty is considered the worst in China as it is "weak". Surprisingly, if you ask the same person, people living during Song dynasty were way better off than Tang or Han dynasty, both golden periods of China before Song. Even if you ask about science
and literarure developments, it too was ahead of previous dynasty. Still, it is consider a failure when in terms of dynasty ranking.

I know about Dr. Sun's republic, Taiwan and "voting politburo" . But these are considered modern development which hasn't really sunk into physche of Chinese race worldwide.
