> To take a more positive view, a huge fraction of the algorithms in an undergraduate CS course -- from finite automata to parsing to relational algebra to graph traversals -- can be understood as basically doing linear algebra using modules over different semirings (rather than just the reals). Eg, for all-pairs shortest paths, the Floyd-Warshall algorithm is doing an LU decomposition, and Kleene's algorithm is doing Gauss-Jordan.

The blew my mind! I loved these undergrad and grad courses but never realized they are connected. Could you please forward me to few books or resources that go over these relationships?

As someone who loves her videos, her physical appearance turns me off watching for any period of time. I would do the same if it were a half naked man showing me tech too.

>so what? that's most of Instagram.

I don't like watching the same physical appearances on places where they belong like TV, Movies or Instagram.... so no that's not "normal". If you merge making erotic cakes and cake baking on YouTube, expect a lot of cake baking lovers to not want to watch. It's just logic.

It just feels forced and is an ugly stain on otherwise awesome videos. But I understand that others might enjoy it.

Reminds me of the guy uploading math videos to a porn site, technically we should rate his work based on the math problem solving and teaching skills but you would be a fool to not recognise the problem of it being only reachable by being on a porn site.

personally i'd probably prefer an os unless i was trying to learn device programming specifically. if you're playing with things like scheduler policies, vm strategies or networking, you probably want the all of the tooling that is available on full blown multiprocessing operating systems to generate/simulate workloads and test your strategies under real world conditions.

if you're aiming to be an embedded person someday on things like scada and such, or are interested in reverse engineering old hardware and systems and care a lot about device interfaces, them maybe one of these operating system as library frameworks would be a better choice.

depends what your goals are i guess.

Flying is easy, flying safely is very difficult. GA inherently allows a great many things that significantly increase risks. Going solo inherently makes you a single point of failure so for example many significant but survivable health issue basically guarantee your death.

And that’s just the start. Pilots run out of fuel, fall asleep, they land on the wrong runway/field, and so forth across lots of very small risks that end up killing people.

I am not saying GA should be more regulated, it’s just important to understand the trade offs in terms of freedom vs safety.
I see almost no one disagreeing about having no easter eggs in curl on this site.
The iPhone is a once-in-a-generation product. Virtually no company ever creates a product this successful. Why are you treating that level of success as if it’s the new norm that Apple must repeatedly reach in order to keep up?

What happens if they don’t catch the next wave? In that case, they will still be wildly successful. They’ve already had the iPad, which is the clear winner in the tablet market. They’ve already had the Apple Watch, which is the clear winner in the smartwatch market. They’ve already had the AirPods, which is the clear winner in the earphone market. None of these are the one-in-a-generation products that the iPhone is, yet they are all massive successes that bring in tonnes of money.

Apple will probably never have a hit as big as the iPhone ever again… but that’s perfectly fine and not at all incompatible with massive success and huge profits.

I have a login.gov account. Needless to say I'm not a US citizen, and the IRS should not cut me a refund check.

ID.me supports WebAuthn (or maybe U2F? In this context it doesn't matter) but importantly it does identity verification so it can determine whether I am a US citizen, whether I'm a tax payer, and if so which one.

Now, perhaps the US Federal Government should own the capability to do that instead of a private company. But, so far as I can tell, they do not and login.gov is not such a thing.
Closing schools was never necessary or even helpful. Some countries like Sweden kept primary schools open for in-person learning throughout the pandemic. They did fine.

If you're Shopify, please contact me :)

But, for that example, it depends. So if Shopify adds Hibiki to their site, and then writes a custom module that integrates Hibiki into their API. And then they add a new tab to their webpage builder that says "write your form in Hibiki HTML", then no, that would not be okay.

If they just have a generic form that accepts HTML, and makes no mention of Hibiki , and you manually add your HTML which happens to include the Hibiki script and runs Hibiki code, then there is no issue.

I regret using the term “disgraced” because it’s hard to assess objectively as you point out, and superfluous to my argument, which is that 1) he is wrong in those quoted tweets, and 2) he is a polarizing figure who is not known for his objectivity and therefore, quoting his factually wrong statement as only evidence does not support the argument presented here.

Nope, this doesn't work this way. Google's model includes various licensing options, including free accounts for nonprofits and educational institutions, special licences for government bodies, various levels of business/enterprise licensing, and so on.

Yes that is true, but if you don’t have a permanent written record of the computation, that takes away a lot of the advantage of written arithmetic. You may as well just use your counting board.
I'm surprised more doctors have not had their license revoked for publicly preaching misinformation. You can have your license revoked for treating a patient when a more specialized expert is available. For example, a dentist can get in trouble for not referring more complex issues to a dental surgeon, periodontist, etc.

And yet we have cardiologists and eye doctors and chiropractors telling the public that the vaccine is dangerous and that we would be better off without it.

I saw someone mentioned that a doctor/professor from Johns Hopkins was raising concerns about college age kids getting vaccinated. I looked him up. He's a surgical oncologist. Guess what the epidemiologists, virologists, and immunologists at Johns Hopkins are recommending?

Oh ya, and the surgical oncologist turned epidemiologist just so happens to have a book about the pandemic that he is pushing right now. I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.

But attestation can mean a lot of things and isn't inherently in conflict with free software.

And yes, the NY Times headline "C.D.C. concedes that cloth masks do not protect against the virus as effectively as other masks" is exactly what I just posted above. We know that. We've known that. And I'll post the exact same thing again. A well fitting cloth mask is far better than nothing but less than a surgical mask which is less than an N95. It's not worthless.

I disagree that it is rooted in selfishness. It's healthy to live in a society that has at least some degree of skepticism over public health claims that tend to optimize one variable at the cost of others.

Since this article is about children, there is a lot of evidence to show that kids are experiencing developmental delays that are likely correlated with masking. The long term effects of which is not yet well understood. I would much rather live in a country that challenges assumptions and fosters debate, instead of blindly pursuing countermeasures that may have extremely detrimental outcomes in the future.

HoTT is too big for my tiny brain, but Harper's book Practical Foundations of Programming Languages (PFPL) was hugely informative and is reasonably accessible to programmers who like some theory and consider themselves to be language geeks. The full text of the first edition was online. Now there's a second edition that is mostly online with a few parts missing, but that still looks good:

Note I wasn't suggesting turning people away if they're unvaccinated, I think that would be dehumanizing and would set a horrible precedent. I'm just wondering why pre-programmed surgeries and screenings are being deprogrammed when a Covid hospitalization spike is expected, as opposed to keeping all previously programmed appointments, and turning new Covid patients away when you hit full capacity (regardless of vaccination status, and obviously wouldn't include people who catch Covid at the hospital since they're already there) given the additional burden involved when dealing with Covid patients.
I know, it's been a while since rotation was considered a best practice. Yet the security team where I work will pick a random shiny new security practice and impose it on users. (I don't mind the imposition of good security, the hassle is worth it).

Just one example where I work is a prohibition against emailing certain types of documents or data to others in the company (which is mostly Word & Excel docs) Which seems reasonable, but the accepted solution is to use the built in encryption of MS Office to secure the file with a password and then email the file. And then send the password in another email. Honestly, that's supposed to be the protocol. The policy also hasn't been amended in any way to account for implementing Google docs & sheets, which can be accessed with the same credentials used for email or opened on any unattended employee's machine if they left a Gmail tab open (along with anything else in their Google drive). And regardless of any of these rules, almost no one follows them. I do-- I have to, I'm a data custodian so I can't violate the rules, but it annoys people.

What causes inflation is obvious. But I am continually disappointed by the government and the mass media, including the Wall Street Journal, routinely being mystified by it.

For example, inflation in the 1970s was blamed on OPEC oil prices, today it is blamed on "supply chain disruption".

The refutation is straightforward. If the 1970s inflation was caused by OPEC price increases, when gas prices later went down, there should have been corresponding deflation. But there was no deflation, not a penny. Today, when the supply chain disruption is past, is there going to be deflation? Nope.

What actually causes inflation is the supply of money increasing faster than the goods and services it represents. What causes the supply of money to increase faster?

The government money printing press.

The US government has been creating money at a fantastic rate. That's why we have 7% inflation today, and it ain't turning into deflation.

Why does the government persist in misinforming us as to the cause of inflation? Because inflation is how the government spends money it does not have. The purpose of the Federal Reserve System, created in 1914, was purportedly to create "stability". That is propaganda. The true purpose was to inflate the money so the government can spend it without raising taxes. It's called a fiat money system, and shortly afterwards every country with their own currency adopted it.

And every single one of those countries blames inflation on some sort of unknown voodoo, wage price spiral, cost-push, greedy businesses, profiteers, and reckless speculators.
> This is why understanding only the abstractions does not work.

I don't think your example shows that at all: If it didn't actually explicitly say in his Fortran reference manual that "The 'thing' you write between a file-open and a file-close can only be a single character", then... Sorry, but then AFAICS your example only shows that he didn't understand the abstraction that "file-open" just opens a file for writing, without specifying what to write. (Maybe he slavishly followed some example in the manual that only wrote one character?)

This needless sprinkling of file-open / file-close looks a bit like he did the work of a current optimising compiler (only here it was pessimising), "unrolled a loop"... So AIUI it shows the opposite of what you set out to show: Too concrete without higher-level understanding was what did him in.
It's a mix of old and new. Mostly old though.

One of the problematic pieces is the custom expression language: It's half a programming language incompatible with JavaScript that you will constantly battle with.

Consequently it has a fn:jseval escape hatch.

I couldn't find a way to sort data locally. Escape hatch it is.

Projects like this, when they mature, inevitably create a new programming language that might or might not be better than the host language.

Remote actions: Sounds like a good idea, but now you have the worst of worlds: Code managed separately on front-end and back-end that is tightly coupled via `"setpath" et. al.

The concerns of the back-end are now not just which data to get or check, but also how it is presented on the front-end.

One good thing though: The learning curve is tiny!
I'm not a lawyer... but...

You sue the town for violating state law.

The town either settles, or you go to court, and if you win, the court compels them to comply with the law, and the town probably has to cover legal fees.
People might actually start doing similar things if nVidia starts dropping support in their proprietary driver for cards that can't otherwise be usefully supported by nouveau. At that point, it'll be easy to rely on the observation that such actions are necessary for interoperability, hence justified as fair use. Not sure if we're at that point just yet.

we only trust experts we agree with. this is why covid response has been such a wild ride.
You're arguing that I'm claiming this was a premeditated attempt to crush small businesses, but that's clearly not the case. The pandemic response is likely a net loss, trillions has been spent, the opportunity costs are incalculable, the handful of upsides would have a lot to do to make up for this, but there are winners and losers and some of the winners are winning big.

A large contingent of big winners from the pandemic are highly educated upper middle class social elite who tend to have a lot of assets that have dramatically appreciated in value, jobs that they are able to work from home, and work in industries that have benefited from shifts in spending resulting from the pandemic. This was not enough though, and they have now crafted a moral narrative around the necessity and efficacy of these measures that intentionally lack nuance or any consideration of the needs of people who aren't part of their cohort.
That's what I don't understand. Massive world wide problem.. but we have to keep cranking the kids through the meatgrinder (public school->college->first entry job) on time. God forbid, they stop, think about how things run, try to adjust accordingly.

This is yet another problem that's ignored, swept under the run and "averaged out" as a solution.

Apple uses AES encryption for iCloud Photos: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303

Underlying cloud providers that Apple uses e.g. AWS may not have the key but Apple definitely does. And that key could be embedded in a CSAM detection app.

So unless you work for Apple and have definitive proof that they do not have such an app I think we should assume they do.
If it was just reaction to the spike protein then why is myocarditis more likely on the second vaccination?

I think it is therefore more likely that adaptive immune system is involved because it has ability to remember.

Now is it possible that spike protein itself or lipid shell is causing this based on indicence rate differences between 3 vaccines?

Hard to say.

The amount of spike protein produced is in correlation with amount of mRNA entering cells. The amount of mRNA entering cells is 3x higher with Moderna vaccine than with Pfizer vaccine and it appears that it is similar on both shots (first and second). But the amount of mRNA (converted from adenovirus DNA) entering cells with the second AZ shot is probably lower than on the first shot because there is also some immunity against the adenovirus and the dose size is the same.

This is in correlation with the amount of antibodies produced by these vaccines.

This is the not contradicting with the observation so far.

But it could be also lipid cell that has been found to cause inflammation. Considering the high amount of antibodies generated on the second vaccination, it is plausible that the lipid shells are not attacked by the immune system directly. But it might be possible that the cells are attacked after lipid shells have merged with their membranes.

There are few ways to find how what is most likely happening.

First is to hope that protein based vaccine from Novavax will be used by meaningful amount to detect proper incidence rates. When it is spike protein itself then we should see also high incidence rate on second vaccination.

The second option is to analyze mixed vaccinations where first vaccination was done with adenovirus vaccine and the second one with mRNA vaccine. It is not perfect setup but it might provide some additional information.

Third option is to use a mouse model similar to one in previous study where mouse were intravenously injected with mRNA vaccines. Repeat the study with mRNA vaccine, placebo (saline solution), dummy lipid shells and protein vaccines (might be necessary to do the study without and with the adjuvant).

> I think you are misunderestimating the value that bringing a new life into the world offers you as a parent, and your community.

To me judging whether or not to have a child solely based on the value that it would have for you and your community, without evaluating whether or not your child will have [the possibilities of] a good life, seems cruelly selfish.

If you're not sure that there's a stable future to bring a child into, then it only makes sense to wait.
