Well, in scheme (my language of choice), if you chain map and filter like so:

(map square (filter even? lst))

filter will return a new list that map will map over and return yet another list (map and filter doesn't modify its arguments). With transducers you can avoid that.

And transducers can be passed to other functions that can use them in any context. You can create one transducer that filters even numbers and squares the result and re-use it either by transducing over a list, or as a processing part of an async channel.

It is like a streaming data protocol, in that way. Transducers transform data.
I think you ought to qualify that some. Many countries have much higher rates of deaths by firearm (intentional or not) than the United States.
I think the company in question would need to have a document titled something like "Affirmative Action Plan", where they outline the failures and talk about what they're going to do, as well as set an end date. I'd bet a lot of money the company in question does not have this.

cpython's specific implementation is a "feature" that many things rely on, but even without that, python's semantics are very dynamic and it's hard to unbox anything in a way that is guaranteed not to be observable.

There are several projects at work, any of which should land if they are successful.
They make sure enterprises can run Linux that doesn’t “suddenly” (read: with less than 2-3 years notice) break their critical workflows because some component loses support or some dependency reaches EOL - they do this by extended maintenance, backporting (security) patches to old versions, providing tailored support etc.

This is very valuable to enterprises and so they pay a lot for it.

For example, you can still run Red Hat 6 safely and securely until 2024; by that point Red Hat 8 will have been out for 5 years already.

I hate to say it, but I can imagine that a group of engineres with a manager nipping at the heels can be much more valuable in total to a company than a group of engineers left to their own devices. Some may be great at being independently productive but most probably are not.

Of course some random idiot nagging the engineers won't be worth much, they need to be experts at the specific business and domain to bring value in this situation. Which also makes them harder to replace.

Certainly, companies with engineers who are capable and independet problem-solvers, and who are experts at the company's needs and the domain it operates in, are the most valuable. These are not uncommon either. But a fast-growing company in a fast-growing industry has zero chance of solely hiring such people. They need to widen their net to people that require managing.

Sad to hear that was your experience.

It's supposed to work just by extracting the .zip or .tar into the 'public_html' directory. At least that was my experience, I run it from the cheapest cPanel shared hosting I could find (the ones of $3/month). My cPanel shared hosting provider also provides me with SSH access, and I got used to it as well.

I could have gone with the VPS route, but the typical cPanel hosting come with sensible defaults that just works like it's supposed to.

What I did was to download one of these skeletons (prefilled with data) and start from there. It's almost 99.9% guaranteed to work that way.

The Admin plugin helps a lot to reduce that obscurity you mention.

Full disclosure: I'm not a PHP developer as well, I know nothing from it, I only know Python, some C++11 onwards and Delphi.
While a request itself can finish reasonably fast in a slow language, the amount of resources a single request consumes since python can't do multithreading is quite absurd. The python codebases I've worked on need an order of magnitude more servers to handle similar amount of loads, since each request is basically handled by a separate process.

Agreed. Equally the faster the interpreted language, the less you need to offload, because baseline speed is good enough.

Faster is rarely a bad thing.

Most people wouldn't end up with rolling their own, but contracting existing support providers or developers.

E.g. for Excel and Word replacements there is LibreOffice, and any number of companies offer more polished packaged up LibreOffice variants and surrounding services. One example is Collabora in the UK[1]. In that respect the effect would be to shift revenue that currently mostly leaves Europe to companies closer to home.

The biggest hindrance is that if you do too much of that and you'll get the US and others doing the same thing in return, whether in the same sectors or entirely different sectors.

As a Canadian who moved to the United States this is something that I worry about all the time. That putting myself into this situation might just randomly lead to some random violent event happening to me. I remember that within a month of moving here about a block from me there was reports of someone driving their car down the sidewalk. Just last month someone was high on something, climbed up on the top of the Castro theatre, and started throwing cinder blocks down on people. While that's not really the riskiest situation it kind of summarizes some things that seem "normal" in the US that I would never dream might happen where I am from.

Even better for the NRA. Fear of the Other helps the NRA drive more gun sales.
Most likely for some but this was a long needed correction and this is the start of the downfall of many stocks.

For example, Cloudflare ($NET). More than 58% down from its all time high, even before the Fed announcing their interest rate hikes. In the long term, it will possibly reach its all time high again, but needs to correct first before that. Some other stocks many never reach their highs again.

Now it should be easy to agree that this was indeed an obvious sell signal [0] despite many at the time telling you to buy.

Its not an argument, it's just an assertion with nothing to back it up.

Anyway, if you do ban guns, you'll just end up with rampant knife crime like the UK. This has all been tried before and we know what works and what doesn't work already. Why not just do what actually works.
Suburb of a city. For France, I found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_medical_services_in_...:

“Current response time targets are for the responder to arrive at the scene within 10 minutes for 80% of responses, and within 15 minutes for 95% of responses”

Reading https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/article-abstrac..., the USA is a bit worse (table 1 shows the 90th percentile to be at 14 minutes in the suburbs). I would guesstimate that’s at least partly because of lower population density.

⇒ 20 minutes could just be an outlier. It also could be that some neighborhoods get disproportionately many high end outliers or that those numbers changed since 2015 (that’s were the data in the 2017 paper is from), though.

Thanks for elaborating, my initial thoughts:

1) You should focus on Atlanta or Brookhaven where this happened. Not New York City. Is Brookhaven having the same lack of enforcement, or did someone just randomly shoot a gun because thats something anybody can do?

2) The Broken Windows theory has been debunked over and over again. I'm surprised you walked right into that one but I can see how relying on that antiquated idea of policing gets you or similar discussions called racist as aspects and implementation of that policy has been criticized as such too. The vestigial aspects of the Broken Windows policy was randomly stopping and frisking people overwhelmingly of specific races and that was called unconstitutional specifically for its racial component and lack of efficacy in fulfilling a potentially overriding potentially valid government interest, it was not appealed so it is a done deal. Basically they rarely found guns, but did find people with existing warrants, or weed, or on parole, or just wound up harassing the same people over and over again until an arrestable outcome was created. All while an even proportion of the population across races said they use the same drugs and simply weren't being stopped. The reduction in crime during that time period has been attributed to the waning of the crack epidemic, reduction in lead poisoning, and even simply mean reversion. I would agree that the further attempts at tweaking society - such as simply not enforcing laws - disrupts a balance when there is no replacement proposed to restore balance, but "broken windows" is just a "broken family" policy.
How are the guns originally obtained? A factory makes them, they get sold somewhere. Ghost guns are a thing, but that also has a legislative solution.

Some sort of energy capture loading a supercapacitor to power the brakes might be feasible, with a small battery backup. You don't need a lot of power storage if you can reliably keep the capacitor full during use. An esp32 has way more than enough clockspeed to keep the reaction speed under 10ms.

To me, there's a more complex issue, which is the braking feedback mechanism. You can't just have off/on - you need a gradient, and that needs to be communicated to the rider by feel. The same feel has to be perceived across every braking context, or it won't be predictable and people will crash.

Any sort of ABS or smart brake algorithm has to predictably augment the human control feedback and seamlessly integrate with motor controls.

Using nfmi would be preferable to wifi or bt, to reduce the possibility of interference.

Lastly, your system needs to fail gracefully. If the controller or mechanics of a brake fails, the motor controllers have to be aware of it, and limit speed or go into a limp-home mode.

So if you have a siloed power store, secure and reliable wireless networking, human compatible controls and brake behaviors, and graceful failure mode, and at least one layer of redundancy, you could have a feasible braking system.

Since brakes are almost always conveniently close to the frame, though, in not sure that wireless buys you anything compared to wired. Electronic braking has most of the same problems regardless of wireless, and wireless doesn't simplify or improve any problems (that I can think of? ) Maybe isolating each brake from the drive controller is desirable for reliability?

So with all that complexity, using regular old hand brakes seems like the best solution. Even if you want smarter braking, using a system that works with hand brakes is probably better than a wireless or purely electronic overhaul.

The sensorial feedback using analog hand brakes is the peak of UI - interfering with it requires some advantage that exceeds the loss of feedback and reliability.

I can see wireless controls allowing for novel form factors where brake cabling isn't possible or becomes complicated, but for most regular bikes, it seems unnecessary.

1. this is a thread about cpython. jax is as relevant to users of cpython as CUDA or OpenCL or whatever. jax cannot do absolutely anything with e.g. django.

2. for all intents and purposes all numerical code always runs in a lower-level implementation (C++, CUDA, XLA, whatever). so from that perspective, jax is just a convenient way to get from numerical python (i.e., loops and muls and adds) to kernels.

Rust's syntax for closures is extremely close to Ruby's; the only bad thing about it is that it's extremely close but not identical, hahah. (Only said half seriously. I think the syntax is fine, and possibly the best syntax possible, but understand others may not agree and that's fine.)
Yeah, the whole thing isn't super polished, still a work in progress. There's also a few thumbnails that were captured mid-loading I'd like to improve down the line.

Right now it's a mix between domains I simply haven't captured a thumbnail for yet, and domains that for some reason won't be captured (errors, etc). Once I reduce the first category, I'll look for a way of hiding the second category.

I'm interested in this, as it somewhat fits my experience on local stuff. (I haven't spent on a Vps yet, as I haven't figured out how to do so in a completely secure, private, and perhaps maybe even somewhat anonymous fashion).

I have been able to set up a simple system hosting a nas with NFS locally very easily, but ensuring secure connection lan remotely has been a very big hassle, and migrating to things like zfs have also been frustrating. The use of containerization for everything is just absolutely absurd these days, but it seems like the solution everyone is using. I wish there were more of a community for people self hosting who make all encompassing solutions without containerization and complicated JavaScript apps.
Agreed. This makes some patterns unnecessarily difficult for little gain. I wish they hadn't added these parameter restrictions to the language.
It sounds more like people were recklessly popping rounds off for fun than anything gang-related.
> These two points from both of your comments don't really reconcile (today).

I didn't write both comments btw, the parent comment who I replied to is someone else who mentioned the environment.

> Sure, if you're optimizing for "profits tens of millions of dollars a year" then go ahead and spend/receive as much money as you can and disregard all else, like the environment, employees health and so on.

It's possible to be environmentally friendly, have reasonable server costs for an app built with Python / Ruby / PHP, keep employees happy and make major progress towards improving Earth. The place I work at is focused on clean energy management and the environment. It's a privately owned company so it's not my place to share any numbers but I can say we don't throw money at problems as a first line of action.

For context, the company has been around for over 10+ years and uses PHP (public info based on HTTP headers). I joined a few months ago as a full time employee after spending ~20 years being a solo developer doing contract work. I hope that sets the stage for how much I like the folks working there and how they run things. Also for context, I don't actively write PHP there. My role is focused on deploying their app(s) although I have developed some Python based services for them (I did contract work with them for a while before joining full time).
Automated diagnosis applications have existed for decades. They have proven useful in limited circumstances for certain specialties and rare conditions but for routine medical care they're more hassle than they're worth.

Causal inference, a field I've been studying for a few months, is often touted as achieving this. That's not quite true -- the causes do not live in the data.

What causal inference does is estimate the parameters of a given causal model, and does so by applying algorithms on the model to determine which variables to control for. Once the researcher to supply directions of causality, you can use the data to validate the model, or ask questions about it that you already know the answer to as a cross check. But there can be multiple valid models, and the data alone cannot help you select the "right" one. Worse, sometimes (often?) validating the "right" model requires data you do not have access to. But you don't need to do the experiment to find that out at least!

Underlying all this appears to be Bayesian methods. Which makes sense as you are often seeking answers to conditional probabilities, Bayes is good for that.
> Engineers start to feel like minority engineers are just diversity hires.

This is exactly the problem...distorting employment markets makes the stereotypes TRUE!

Say you have a software engineering team, and it's nine men and one woman, and it's that way because the pool you hire out if is 9:1, and you only hire from the top decile.

If someone decrees that Thou Shalt Hire Women, you certainly can...it's just that the candidates you get will be less than in the top decile. If you go as far as to make it to 5:5, then your average man will now be top half decile, and the average woman will be 2.5th decile.

The difference will be obvious, though costly to talk about, and you have just created a situation where the stereotype "women aren't as good as men at software engineering" is true.
The data is exportable but you then have to deal with 8MB+ csv files. Still it's better than it being in docx I suppose...
