There are engineers who can produce on a constance cadence, and there are engineers who need to let the pressure build until a dam breaks and the code comes rushing out. The latter engineers can still be good engineers. It all depends on how your brain works.

The systems supporting shipping daily should exist either way, though.
This series of articles, together with another_js[1], inspired my port of Another World for the Game Boy Color that I'm slowly working on[2][3].

Getting the basic game running in shades of gray was relatively little work due to the game being bytecode based (and the great single file example VM implementation from another_js!), but getting the game's 16 colour palette to work with the CGB's 4 colour palettes and still look good is unfortunately a very manual process to work around the limitations of the platform.

Anyway, it is a lot of fun to work on. I'd highly recommend as a hobby project porting it to some other (less constrained) system, or implementing the game's VM in whichever new language you're interested in trying.

It's actually the other way around. The 她 form was introduced in the relatively recent 1920s, partially to make it easier to translate Western texts.
It will probably just be a flag.
I mean one of those principles generalize, the other does not. I would argue making medical decisions based on ad-hoc principles is unjust.
it's just amazing how little abstraction there was

That was deliberate and made a lot of sense. The functionality was split between two programs. The VM/370 part emulates the raw machine. CMS is the "operating system" on top of the VM "hardware".

Agree. The idea that having a job is the goal itself is crazy. A job is a tool that hopefully will help you achieve your real goals. Whatever they are.
Thank you for prompting me to reevaluate my position.

Initially I claimed, “There are no valid arguments for normative claims.”, I would like to amend my claim.

Def: An inferential system is a tuple of axioms and inferential rules.

Def: An argument is a non-empty ordered sequence of statements. The last statement is called its conclusion.

Claim: If an inferential system produces an argument for a normative claim, the system is either inconsistent or permits inference from positive statements to normative statements or the argument proceeds from normative axioms.

Proof. Suppose S is a consistent inferential system and that A is an argument in S from S’s axioms to a normative conclusion. If S has only positive axioms then A makes inference from positive to normative statements.
QED

Corollary: There are no arguments for normative claims that don’t proceed from normative axioms in consistent systems that don’t permit inference from normative to positive statements.

The difference is real competition: there's only so much land that exists, and localities only allow so much housing on that land. Demand goes way up, supply goes up only feebly, the result is predictable.
Yeah, I just defined it in my comment. Poor people don't have those things I complained about and many (0.1% of all people apparently) don't have houses.
You're right, sorry. "It doesn't matter whether they disagree" is a better way to put it.

Well they are literally named "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals." It shouldn't be surprising that they are not in favor of killing animals for replacement body parts.

I'm not either, but at least this was a case where the personally arguably "needed" it. Usually we treat animals like garbage just for fun.
Pigs reach slaughter weight at about 6 months[0] and the lifetime of a domestic pig is 15 to 20 years. Their breeding age is 8+ months. So we kill them before they reach the prime of their life most of the time. Killing them at their prime might be less of a moral issue than what we do currently.

Infrastructure, jobs, coordination, state and local regulations, capital. The list goes on.

Your comment is a particularly egregious example of, "I could do that in a weekend." Internet commenters tend to blithely assume hard things are easy.
And then the next step is to do research showing that pigs that are happy, stress free, and eat a good diet produce organs that are better for transplant. If so, this might be one of the most ethical animal industries.
I imagine you could go really far with a dumb approach or matching against pre existing font database.

> But plenty of them are growing like weeds.

But for how long ?

A common growth model that I have seen used is exponential growth, but has this been empirically verified on historical data ? I would expect a more logistic curve growth at best. Even with the growth factored in P/E of 100 and more seems a dangerous asset to own unless I believe that I can pass the bag on for somebody else to hold. The danger is that I might end up holding the bag that no one wants to buy.

Furthermore, if the expected growth was predicated on the availability of cheap capital and that does not come to pass because of interest rate hikes, then that's a problem. The P/E will likely correct to a more plausible growth rate, so unless there is an earning growth that compensates for shrinking P/E the price will fall.
The pig kidney and heart recently transplanted have already been genetically engineered. So far it's only to avoid rejection, but other modifications are likely on the roadmap.
I understand your view and agree with what you’ve said, however, the primary point was that there are moral implications if you intervene in another life so it is not a moral freebie.
Yeah, that caught my eye. I did a little research and the first xenotransplant of any kind was somewhere about 1838 -- of a cornea from a pig (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4684730/)

"Doubling income taxes" sounds scary, but a large portion of the working population would roughy break even as the increase in taxes would simply be offset by the UBI they receive.

A negative income tax is probably the best way to implement a UBI as it would require only distributing money to those that are below the income threshold, and it would prevent political opponents from trotting out big scary numbers on how much it would cost, while ignoring the necessary accounting required to truly estimate the financial impacts.
Most of this work is grant-funded, so the publication fees usually also come out of the grants. Primary investigators are not usually paying this out of pocket. It's entirely so that you can have an item in your publication list or CV that says "Nature Neuroscience" on it, in your fight for a tenure-track promotion, or to get the next grant, or to get a grant renewed, etc. Especially in life sciences, peer review is an essential component, and name recognition of the journal is unfortunately valuable- for Nature/Cell/Science due to the high bar they have for novelty, compared to other respectable but not-top-tier journals like PLoS.
Great guide. There more great docs and tooling here: https://gitlab.com/ayufan/yubikey-provisioner
They can publish in other journals but at the expense of their career. Many publications at leading journals is your only real chance of making a career in academia - it matters more than actual impact because they're much easily measurable :)

A size 20 shoe is better for a large foot... But not better for a size 15 or size 10 foot.
Saying Microservices are better is the same as me saying "a size 20 shoe is better than any other shoe"... for everyone.

It's not a viable statement in any use case, except for people with size 20 feet.

The business need is what determines the solution necessary.

This is literally what they are all about. It's like complaining that the IOC keeps whining about athlete doping just to try to stay relevant.
There is a lot of bullshit in this comment.
From one of the linked mails:

NB, this was partially fixed in gnulib in 2009:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=b06da86eb05ed57e2861061ae5cacf4c7a3686f1
But glib has its own copy of this code, which hasn't been updated since 2008.

Embedded code copies are terrible, people really need to start removing them, or at least learning how to update them.
We could have sacrilegious Python version that put up all the stuffs lol. Such as multiline lambda :p here:

def begin(\*args):
return args[-1]

z := int(input()),
x + y + z
),
func(1, 2)
)
I don't think peta would consider it "world peace" yet.
That is an interesting comparison to other reasons why we kill animals, however, the point wasn’t a relative moral comparison to animal slaughter for food purposes but that it’s not zero cost morality wise to kill an animal in its prime.
I was going to say this! Best two summers of my life I spent counselling little kids at summer camp. It is good for you and it's good for the kids too.
It's a slippery slope.. I think the uneducated are less likely to be vaccinated and it doesn't seem right to refuse service to someone because they believed something that was incorrect. Say there were people with mental handicaps that fell in this camp, it would be even worse.

And where do you draw the line for who gets help for stuff unrelated to covid? Having a do no harm type moral code seems like the best way to navigate and avoid the minefield of deciding who deserves care in what circumstances.
It’s certainly possible to go this route and I will admit to the occasional indulgence (generally it’s them damed keto ice cream bars).

But I found I ate less processed food to prior to keto since my main focus was meat, eggs, and cruciferous veggies.
There is a trillion of tutorials for every young and hyped technology out there: Svelte/FastAPI/Elm etc. However try to learn how to maintain and secure a server or a database or anything fundamental... and it can be really hard to find good and updated material.
They didn’t suggest that, it said:

> Still, Christie didn’t consider herself wealthy

Almost no one considers themselves wealthy. Even people that are very well-off typically consider themselves some variation of middle class, because they can so obviously and clearly see the next rung up the ladder, and how they are not on it. This point is made perfectly by her quote about how only the rich have cars.
Debian has been talking about splitting pkexec out into a separate package, so most systems don't need it installed.
Agree. Academics are now going to write an extra $11k into their grants (=$15k if you count uni indirect costs), with the justification "I plan to produce Nature quality results". If your article doesn't get accepted by Nature, all the better there's now an extra $9k in your budget to play with. Let's just keep in mind, these grants are funded by taxpayers.
No, it really shouldn't. I'll be the first to say that unvaccinated people are morally bad, and their actions are harmful to wider society.

But, and this is a really important but, the way to punish that behavior isn't to deny them care in the hospital. For a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that not every unvaccinated person is unvaccinated by choice. But more generally because applying any sort of moral standard to who lives and who dies in an emergency gets incredibly murky incredibly quickly.

If you want to punish people for failing to get vaccinated, I'm all for it. But do so outside of a hospital.
What I have noticed is that GNU Emacs is an application development platform for various programs.

Example: Org mode. 133 k lines of Emacs Lisp code.

https://orgmode.org

Org mode then is also used by other tools.

Somehow these 'Lisp macros' seem to integrate, even though they are written in different times (GNU Emacs started in the mid 80s) by many different authors, for different programs on top of GNU Emacs.

That GNU Emacs is a program itself is not different from, say, CPython. That's also a program itself, used to run other code. GNU Emacs has 'packages' and an online archive for that. Developers publish libraries (which other use) and whole solutions, like Org mode.

That 'Lisp' itself doesn't have an 'eco system' is no surprise, since Lisp is not a single language, but a family of dialects, developed over the last almost 64 years - either similar ones like Autolisp and Emacs Lisp or different ones like Logo and Racket. Thus these dialects tend to have their own eco-systems. Like Java and C each have their own eco-systems.
Building to code today is lot more expensive than building 100 years back.

The guy should have got the death penalty for attempted and arguably successful murder (the victim later died of a stroke directly attributable to the wounds he received from the stabbing). 10 years for stabbing a guy multiple times to the point of putting him in a wheel chair is a slap on the wrist.

Funny how a lot of problems work themselves out when swift justice is delivered. This whole thread doesn’t exist in that alternative, more just world.
This is per capita right? So a family of 5 making $4500/mo in Bolivia would be considered rich, the same family with that income in London is barely surviving.

Not sure how these percentages will move if adjusted for purchasing power. Maybe half the world isn't poor anymore? Or maybe 90% still is?
I can recall people saying similar things about grocery store checkouts. Lines were quicker if you went through the self-checkout, but people still stood around to have a person do the work and socialize. At some point in the last last few years that seems to have completely flipped, there are rarely people going through the human lines with the bulk doing self-checkout.

Nature pays their editors, unlike most society journals. But they are a for-profit business, and are clearly just looking for more profit.

The expected lifetime value of any article in Nature Neuroscience for the authors is well above $11,390, as that is probably 1% of the typical grant that will produce the article, and getting published in this venue makes it much easier to continue to get grants funded, to get top PhD students and postdocs, and to get promoted.

To be clear, though, the authors are not paying for this out of pocket. The funding agencies (i.e. the national government that supports the authors' research) is paying for it. Because many funding agencies now require authors to publish open-acess, Nature can more or less ask whatever price they want.
Why are so many vocal advocates for the covid vaccine such demons? Is the rhetoric surrounding the covid vaccine so toxic that it turns otherwise normal people into people who are so hate filled, or are such hate filled people simply predisposed to being influenced by such rhetoric?

Peer reviewers are all volunteers, the journal only pays the staff that coordinate the reviews- email a bunch of people and ask if they'll do a review (and often that's semi-automated now), and the editor that makes the decision after looking briefly at the feedback from the reviewers. The editors don't actually even do any proofreading or anything like that anymore, they just make executive decisions as to what articles to accept.

Lot of people in the comments here don't understand the Open Access funding model. Please read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access

Where did you get that from, and why do you base the rest of your reasoning on this straw.
Great series, but one assertion jumped out at me:

In terms of processing power a PC was
far superior to the Amiga and Atari ST
we visited last times. The problem for
gaming was the video which was
extremely slow.

I was going to say, "On what planet was a 4.77 MHz 8088 'far superior' to an 8 MHz 68000?", but then looked up the MIPS-per-MHz figures, and the 8088 was indeed faster. I sure don't remember it that way.

(Edit: looks like I was reading the table wrong. The 68000 Dhrystone MIPS score is indeed better by a factor of almost 2x.)
Unemployment benefits ended long ago, but working people have continued to suffer. People who were forced to quarantine and miss work due to government mandates don't get unemployment. Unemployment is no replacement for the millions of people who saw their children's schools shuttered for a year (or two!!) and were forced to quit their jobs and stay home to take care of their children. Food, energy, rent, health insurance - all the things people need to survive - are up massively year over year, far higher than the meager wage increases seen by some workers.

The government gave out trillions. Trillions that ended up in the pockets of the country's wealthiest people, who saw their net wealth double or triple during the pandemic and corporate profits soar while working people fell further under water. Its absolutely astounding how out of touch people who look at macro numbers supplied by the FED and the White House and think that everything is swell. Everything isn't swell. There's a reason that 72% of Americans think the country is heading in the wrong direction. American household debt is at an all time high. Millions of Americans face imminent homelessness as eviction moratoriums are lifted. Its incredibly tone deaf to sing the praises of the economy when its as bad or worse than its been for many or most working people in the country in a century.

This seems like a fair price. If there are 30 articles in an issue of Nature that’s 360,000 per issue assuming everyone eventually publishes open access and subscriptions go to zero. That seems like a very reasonable cost for editing etc.
Not being able to use emperical evidence to prove a normative claim is a very common (albeit not universal) belief. Probably because nobody has really convincingly done so in thoussands of years.

> To call an argument "valid" is to make a normative claim; it is to claim that a rational agent ought to accept it.

Idk, it could just be a claim that the argument can be expressed in a logical system, combined with the normative axiom that rational agents should only trust arguments that can be validly expressed in such a formal system.

Regardless this seems to be missing the forest for the trees. Nobody has put forth any arguments for either position that are emperical in nature. Is there really a practical difference between impossible and possible but nobody knows how?
I guess it depends on what you define as 'highly paid', which is what you were originally discussing. More senior developers making 35-40k EUR doesn't sound 'highly paid' to me, even though yes, the local market isn't as strong. High-er, certainly, but it's not far above the GDP per capita for Italy as a whole.

The thing about management is what I've heard Italian devs complain about (and it's a common complaint is tech-weaker countries), that to get decent money you have to transition to management, whereas countries with stronger tech sectors like the US have more companies that let engineers continue to grow as engineers (or architects).

Inequality has nothing to do with feeling superior or inferior to others (though, our culture absolutely does encourage those beliefs).

In a world with limited resources, huge levels of inequality necessarily means that a small group of people are consuming vastly more of the available resources than everyone else. It also tends to concentrate political power in the same small group. Many people would say there is something inherently unfair about this.

I think these things aren't as separate from your concerns as you make them out to be.
Hahahahaha. I'm sorry, but that was a pretty incredible claim. The journals sure as hell aren't paying for peer review, or at least nobody I know has gotten paid for it. Peer review is basically a gratis service done by other researchers in the same field.
There's no such thing as a "false flag", just as there's no such thing as a "false upvote". Fradulent? Abusive? Sure. But true/false implies these things are objective.
