Hi, Deta Space is very new and a lot is still is happening behind the scenes. We're mostly running a closed alpha with some devs from our community. Once we launch Space in beta/GA, we will be announcing more about "the cut". It's likely to be <15% (no infra cost, etc).

I understand this is all vague atm but everything is still WIP. We're not ready for prime-time yet.

> Forget any stats about "cases" you can come up with for a moment: how are normal peoples' actual lives going in places where masks and most preventative measures are less common?

Forget stats about cases in order to understand stats on cases in areas with fewer preventative measures? What kind of crazy is that?

Unfortunately the `dbg!` macro doesn't play nice with format strings. There is no Rust equivalent of Python's (say) `print(f"Coordinates: {x=}, {y=}, {z=}")`. In other words `dbg!` can only print `{x=}`; it can't intersperse that with other text the way `format!` can.
This strikes me as a really weird, kind of poorly titled piece. By infrastructure, they're talking about tools like lint and babel. Does it really matter what they're written in? This has very little effect on the code that's actually being written.

It's not zero risk; changing my card numbers after a compromise is an annoying process given the number of places I have to do it. Not having to provide that number to the random e-commerce site I'm trying to buy something unusual from is helpful, and reduces the risk of me having to spend an afternoon making sure I switched cable, internet, Github, Patreon, Heroku, kids' school lunches, music lessons, and fifty other recurring payments over to a new card number.

(I also get to skip entering card and billing details every time. Given the number of sites that see fit to use a special non-standard widget for the state field, that saves me time and annoyance on every transaction of this nature, too.)

I thought this was interesting:

>we retrieve and analyze more than 2000 replication datasets with over 9000 unique R files published from 2010 to 2020.

> We find that 74\% of R files crashed in the initial execution, while 56\% crashed when code cleaning was applied, showing that many errors can be prevented with good coding practices.

In my experience a lot of code I have seen from researchers is very dependent on their setups and often hard codes file paths.

The trouble with stackoverflow jobs is stackoverflow.

I know one of the great ideas of stackoverflow was that it controlled bad behavior by making people jump through hoops and demonstrate their conformity by being allowed to fully participate.

I didn't find that interesting or satisfying and, in particular, in the few cases where I had expert knowledge of an area the community didn't recognize it. As it is the site is full of low quality questions and answers and bans discussion of most of the really tough questions like "What framework do I choose for?" which is at least 50% of the derisking in Java and Javascript planning.

When you see wrong and low quality answers stay at the top of the list for a decade you don't have faith that high quality participation is welcome. The developer story is not going to attract the best or even good developers, it is going to attract the best and good players of a bad game.
This is a question near to my heart. I'm not an academic but a practicing systems software engineer. A good chunk of my work is sourcing interesting academic ideas and trying to turn them into practically useful software. Papers that don't release their source code are often not as reproducible as the authors think. Perhaps there's a bug that the results depend on, perhaps the implementation is very specific to the context the software runs in, perhaps the paper gives _most_ of what you'd need to re-implement but the fine details are missing. I've seen them all.

In a very real sense unless the paper has a result that's so compelling I can't ignore it if there's no published source code -- even if it's an obvious prototype! -- I'll pass it by. I'm not alone in that in my line of work. Industry folks might also be more willing to accept prototype code than academic folks, I dunno.

Worth consider, I guess, if you're interested in your work crossing the academic/industry boundary smoothly.
Cybersyn was a pilot project. The idea wasn't to manage the economy, but to have a first proof of concept that could manage some parts of the economy, with the help of people directly involved.

That being said, the free market "regulating itself" is pretty bad at it. First of all, it only has one cost function to optimize, which is never going to be what humans want to optimize. Then, it forces production information largely through low fidelity price signals. Finally, these signals are very much delayed, and by the time you answer the price signal, it may have changed wildly, which means that in some cases straightforward organisation that anyone with the relevant information could rapidly approximate can take years to come because the signal changes more rapidly and with considerable delay leading to dysfunction as other prices signals attempt to respond to it. There are many other issues with it.

Of course, an IBM System/360 and 7 people couldn't do it. It's just an attempt to see where the system had to improve. If it did work out it would have ended up with a staff of thousands of people, direct connections to much of the machinery and to people in the production lines, specially built supercomputers with linear and non-linear optimisations accelerators, etc..., while still allowing many markets where it made sense and use them as information.

As it was, a bunch of old crusty bureaucrats in the Soviet Union managed to get within the order of magnitude of the market regulating itself via supply and demand and free competition with data manually collated and corrupted every step of the way and refresh cycles on the order of months if not years, with the computation itself being in large part done manually. So it was an interesting and worthwhile experiment.
I find this disquieting in exactly the same way that I find any description of intense religious mania disquieting.

On the one hand, live and let live.

But on the other. I've _never_ met a person interested in this kind of ascetic practice that wasn't desperately running from some profound dislike of themselves or the world. Despite the triumphal and positive rhetoric in this writing, I can't help but feel that underneath it all is a deep hatred from the ordinary experience of being alive. What else could explain such an enormous desire for what is surely a self destructive drive towards ecstatic experience?

People will do that regardless of incentive. It's essentially a basic brain function, it can't be turned off. I'm discovering a new number right now by posting this comment.
I agree with your criticism. It's also not clear what "optimal" means, since there are multiple desirable metrics: fewest average guesses, fewest worst-case guesses, etc.

Full brute force is allllmost computationally feasible, at least for some metrics. Like you could probably exhaust the search space in a month on a small cluster, at least if you're minimizing either (worst case, average case) or (pr(lose), pr(take 6 guesses), pr(take 5 guesses) ...). It's also significantly easier to brute-force in hard mode.
What do Twitter and Reddit have to do with the first amendment?
It's a fair question.

The Rust's implementation apparently only looks up variables from the enclosing scope. By contrast, Python's f-strings allow arbitrary expressions, and could potentially fall for the LDAP trick, or something similar. Same with ES6's backtick-strings.

I hope Rust will keep it simple and reliable, and won't allow calling functions in format strings.

Publish your code only after you have made the journal publications / conference papers. I have witnessed a researcher getting robbed of his work when another researcher took his almost complete code from github and submitted faster to a journal for publication.

Now both of the researchers have to be cited, but only one of them did the discovery work.
How to misunderstand the situation 101: bring the first amendment into the discussion when that’s not what the discussion is about.

Let me break this down for you: you host a weekly poker night. My buddies and I come and during these nights plan a crime. We than carry out a crime and get arrested. The investigators come to you and ask “what did those guys talk about at your poker nights?” You say “poker stuff”. They subpoena you to get a better answer. Where in all of this did the first amendment come into play?

At the risk of arm-chairing this too much: did you contact the CSSF, who seems to be the supervisory authority responsible for AML enforcement in Luxembourg?

To highlight how insane this sounds: let's assume, for the sake of argument, that your 50K is suspected to be cocaine money. There exist exactly two outcomes: either you are exonerated and you get your money back, or you're eventually found guilty of something, and the government takes the money.

But Paypal? They have zero claim to the money, and they could be in hot water even for merely holding on to it.

But to seize it? There is just no way that any bank involved in AML enforcement can keep funds for themselves, and any supervisory authority who's handed evidence to such a practice would tear them apart.
The "Pit of success" and "Pit of failure" aren't really about what's available in a language, it's about what's easy and natural.

I'd argue that in a language with the `new` keyword, nothing is more easy or natural than invoking it. `auto Foo = std::make_unique<Foo>(args);` is absolutely the right thing to do, but would you really be surprised to find `auto foo = new Foo(args);`?

I absolutely agree unique pointers are the right call. They just aren't necessarily the easy or natural call.

The contrast is rust where all ptrs are, by default, unique ptr and the compiler validates that for you.
NDA requires you to share data several months after reporting it. But in many cases, data collection has not even completed by then. Theoretically someone could scoop you by analyzing your data before all data collection is completed (e.g. N=100, instead of N=120). I'd think that would be career suicide if it were found out, but the risk of it happening doesn't exactly provide much of a incentive to make it any easier on them.
> US made an agreement under George HW Bush that they would not extend the boundaries of the NATO area beyond West(!) Germany

This isn’t fully true. It’s been alleged. But Gorbachev has publicly admitted he has no memory of it. There were no agreements signed nor even public statements made backing it up. Which is strange since the U.S. and USSR did sign a memorandum on Germany’s reunification, in the context of which this supposed agreement was made.

All of which is irrelevant given Russia signed the Budapest memorandum in 1994, an actual treaty, not some secret handshake hocus pocus, which Putin is presently violating. So it’s weird for it to be waiving the flag of broken agreements.
> an explicit cost at least an order of magnitude higher than what is actually recovered.

The goal is not to make money with AML laws, but to deter and prosecute crime (which has huge externalities itself). Is it effective at that? Your comment doesn't address that.
> Either way, it's a quirky thing for Gravitational to post, since their flagship project --- Teleport --- basically eliminates bastion servers altogether

Not quirky at all. Probably the aim is to inform the reader of the myriad things to do to keep bastion server secure, and then suggest there is an easier alternative. :)

Sounds good - the menu based customer care is pretty good there too, and they tend to actually want to resolve issues unlike many other sites (though that might also depend on the cost benefit analysis) might be the basis many other sites are missing.
Publish the code. At worst no one will look at it, at best you will draw more attention to your work and maybe get some good tips.
If you're a big enough customer they give you your own personal account manager and he'll make sure your account stays open and running whatever happens. I had millions coming through PayPal when I was running a private tracker and I could speed dial our PayPal man if I needed.

I think macOS more or less gets the amount of R&D investment that its platform revenue justifies.

I also think that Apple senior management realizes that macOS has to get more R&D investment than it does currently in order to satisfy iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, WatchOS, HomeOS developers. But they will only make increased investment in proportion to the overall installed-base growth of macOS devices.

I use macOS because I do mostly web site and services development, and I consider myself most productive in all aspects of computing on the macOS platform. And, yea, there are things I can't do and things that aren't as smooth as they could be on macOS. But that doesn't make the operating system user experience hot garbage.
Your code should have exactly the same license and distribution as your paper. Anyone who tells you different is simply wrong.

If you published a paper that uses information from the code then yes you absolutely must publish your code. Otherwise you're contributing to the decline of science via the opaqueness of papers and irreproducibility problem.

I don’t wanna sound mean at all but honestly, a this point I’m just sick of this trend of bragging about numbers and statistics ignoring completely that behind that “small percentage of people” there are guys like me who have been having a rough time with post vaccine heart related issues.

I get your point from a pure “analytical-cognitive-satisfaction” perspective. But in my case, I’ve been vaccinated with Moderna and I’ve been struggling with my heart for the last two months: Arrhythmia, pain in my chest, excessive strong beating even being sitting down in my sofa, short breath, tiredness even for the most simple physical efforts. I ignored all the symptoms assuming that was something psychosomatic due stress or what not (I even quit caffeine just in case). Two nights ago I woke up at 5 am because my heart was beating so strong and the pain in my chest was massive. I ran to the hospital.

I am a very healthy person: no smoke, sport all my life, take care of nutrition, 0 family related heart issues, took all the precautions for not getting covid nor spread it in case of being asymptomatic , take antigen tests twice per week etc And here I am, freaking praying for the results to be ok, knowing that if not, I’m on my own with the possibility of ending up with a faulty heart that worked like a charm before having to be vaccinated due to extorsion-like strategies from the government and gaslighting and half-truths from media.

So yes, I am sick of being treated like a number.

PS: Please, don’t take this as an attack by any means.
>not to mention the longevity risk of a single employer surviving for 50 more years

There are various protections in place. I'll be collecting a pension from a long gone employer.

I'm not really going to argue for defined benefit pensions. There's a certain paternalistic attitude to them that your employer is at least partly responsible for looking after your retirement savings. And you're on the hook for being a loyal long-term employee to get that benefit.

Still, it will be nice to collect a decent payout from a benefit I probably didn't ever really think about at the time. I even know people who completely forgot that they even had a pension.
The fact that it doesn't work in practice doesn't mean the notion of allowing companies to do whatever they want isn't capitalist.
I think they're also sending a message: Censor more! (because the mid-terms are coming).
Eh, Hoppers I don't worry about. Jumpers, OTOH, Are a negative.

The difference (at least to me) is time. Hoppers are people who typically change jobs every 1.5-3 years.

Jumpers, will have a long history of 6 month stints, very few if any gigs longer than a year. At most places I've worked, depending on the quality of on-boarding it took most engineers 1-3 months to be productive, and 3-12 months to understand the system well enough to make impactful changes to the ecosystem safely.
I halfway agree with this. NEP certainly shows that Lenin at least in theory was open to it, though NEP was a climb-down. It's of course impossible to see what Lenin would have done if he'd stayed alive, but I guess the closest parallel would be Deng's reforms in China and Đổi Mới in Vietnam, both of which certainly either improved growth or coincided with it (the one caution is that you can see Chinese growth starting before the reforms - China's GDP growth was punctuated through Mao's reign and into Deng's by every political upheaval Mao caused, and as such the period of stability Deng brought clearly is at least part of the reason).

I don't think I'd agree Lenin was all that favourable to markets initially though. It seemed to me to be more of a pragmatic attitude and acceptance that things couldn't continue the way they did prior to NEP, and it being short enough after the civil war created a very convenient way of drawing a line under the old policies as driven by the war.

Stalins role in dismantling it is certainly critical.
Pythons f strings are a “compile time” thing, I don’t think you can get that effect unless you eval the string.
