Right, the design goals are it is a language for people not clever enough to deal with programming languages.

"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt. – Rob Pike 1"

"It must be familiar, roughly C-like. Programmers working at Google are early in their careers and are most familiar with procedural languages, particularly from the C family. The need to get programmers productive quickly in a new language means that the language cannot be too radical. – Rob Pike 2"

Considering we had eight years of Merc and Hamilton I hope this change will make things a little more exciting again.
Except that ignores the innovation we bring to manufacturing. If a car manufacturer finds a way to use less material in a component or a furniture maker finds a way to use more of the tree in their products then that lowers the marginal cost. Their competitors will adopt the same idea or else risk going out of business.

Housing however is constrained by the price of land, outside of a few small regions like the Netherlands there is no amount of innovation that will create more of it. Hence the price of housing is set by what the market will bear.

This attempted generalization is a whataboutism.

Very few governments initiate wars.

It‘s only in this specific and utterly exceptional situation that yes, the citizen's should be cancelled because their government started a war and sanctioning them is our only less-than-WW3 option.
(ex Israeli here) I actually don't think Syria is a good example for the Arab Spring,they were attacked by ISIS and Curds, Iran got involved on the way and then Russia, the US and Israel through some more fire into the mix. It was not an attempt to throw Aasad and start a democracy.
The very thing you are saying here is inherently and deeply racist.
> Produce a table of all possible sequences of length 1,000 with k heads and 1,000-k tails.
> Look up the position of your actual realized sequence in that table. The index of that position is a uniform random integer in a range from 1 to the size of the table.

I don’t see why it would be. The normal way to produce such a table is as hhh…hh, hhh…ht, hhh…th, … ttt…ht, ttt…th, ttt…tt. If heads is more likely than tails, the index is more likely to be in the lower half than the upper half.

Reading https://blog.cloudflare.com/ensuring-randomness-with-linuxs-..., I also don’t think that’s how Linux’ entropy pool works.
The law they passed is exactly equivalent to passing a law that puts us on winter time and starts a new requirement that schools and businesses open at 7am. We're just giving a new name to 8am.

It will all become more ridiculous 20 years from now when popular demand has lead to offices and schools opening at 9am in the winter and people start calling for a new daylight savings time to get more hours of light in the evening.
Making something illegal for an arbitrary group of people is hugely problematic, no question about that.

On the other hand, I understand the intention. I wonder if the same could be archived by moving the threshold slower than the speed with which people age.

Currently, the age threshold is increased by one year, every year - which effectively locks people born after a certain date out forever.

Instead, you could increase it by one year, e.g. every two years. This would allow the next few generations to cross the threshold eventually, while still "aging out" smoking in the long term.
Dynamic linking is a way to get opaque updates from vendors that may or may not have the patch you want, may or may not have a new CVE that you don't want, and have a very difficult time knowing if the code that's going to run when you invoke a given executable is the same or different from what you ran last time and how.

Only the far north of Norway has a long polar night, down south the days are short but not much different to many other places. In the north, the winter causes more sleep problems and some low mood/energy. (sources below)

But this is false equivalence as it's studying a different thing. Also it is very difficult to compare mental health studies across countries and attribute differences to single causes as there are so many confounding factors. In Norway there is a good standard of living, a social safety net, cheap healthcare and many other factors that are proven to be beneficial to mental health.

Humans are adaptable but sometime I think it's more accurate to say that humans tolerate different environments. We often don't adapt to them, we cope with them.

Getting familiar with how the color wheel works and use the HSL color system. A good color scheme is basicically just regular offsets in hue angles, saturation, or saturation.

You can do things as vary hue by a few degrees, vary the saturation or lightness by fixed amounts, use opposite hues on the color wheel, etc. Some useful tricks to have if you are doing color grading as well. There are all sorts of known useful ways to combine colors.

The key insight here is that what is pleasing has some heuristics behind them. It's simple math once you figure that out. For color blind people, color contrast works differently for certain hues.
It's worth remembering that C# did have them pre-release, Microsoft decided to release .NET 1.0 without them to avoid postponing the release date until they were fully done.

This is clearly described in the HOPL papers regarding generics in .NET.

> Don't just try to pay the technical debt off, but embrace and dig beneath. Dig into the problems , conduct customer interviews with stakeholders, get more data, and validate solutions early.

Good luck with that. This won't work in most situations, because the people involved have moved on or are too busy to talk to you about something that will only benefit you, but not them. Most non-software engineers won't understand the argument of development velocity in the context of technical debt.

The thing that makes technical debt so miserable is that you are usually lacking context. Code comments can make a huge difference here. If a developer has to cut corners, the reason for the bad code has to be documented. Otherwise it is hard to judge if the code just looks bad but is actually fairly optimal, or if it is actually bad and a rewrite is encouraged.

Wake up an hour early? You don't need to move the clock to be able to adjust when you wake up or go to sleep.
The EU directive kind of fizzled out because of Covid. It was meant to be decided in 2021, this year we were not going to change the clocks. But the negotiations are stuck in bureaucratic limbo.

I don't really mind moving the clocks twice a year, it keeps things interesting at least, but now that the US has voted to stop doing it I imagine the rest of the world will follow. Or maybe the EU will decide to keep switching, just to be seen to not copy the Americans.

> and the released C906 Verilog code might have some updates and bugfixes compared to the silicon in the D1

Not really, the C906 source code (close-source) is written in Vperl (a custom internal language) which is translated into verilog by an internal tool. The OpenC906 (open-source) is only the generated verilog code from a light version of the C906 Vperl code, with some hand-made modifications/fixes.

The Vperl code and the tools to process it are not made public.
However, the code generator leaves the Vperl code in verilog commentaries which gives an idea of the original code, and shows that big chunk of code have been removed/patched by hand.

I've mostly read code from the OpenC910, but I can tell you for sure that the C906 design and the OpenC906 design does not only differ only in some "updates and bugfixes".
It's another code generated from a more advanced design which is not open-source

Edit: Not telling that the OpenC906 doesn't give you an idea of how the C906 is made, just that the C906 may contain a lot of differences with the OpenC906 that you don't know.

A full build from scratch would require the c3d headers, which I can’t provide.

What I am planning is to something like this: divide the app into two pieces, an npm wrapper around the kernel and the electron front end that uses the module.

You will need a license key to “activate” the node module. You would then use the electron app or the module directly if you’re a programmer. You will be able to build your own fork of the electron app, but not the npm module.

In effect you will be paying for a license key, not the binary

This happened in the first company I worked for. It was a big, well known engineering company, and when things started going south they had to negotiate with the state labor department to do large layoffs, which required giving financial cushions to let go employees. I was a star employee - so while everyone else was being laid off with nice, big compensation packages (like 6-12 months of salary), I was stuck in a company on fire that obviously had no future. I was, in effect, punished for being "indispensable".
Ahh does suck when you start with a clean slate everything looks nice then quickly starts to turn into crap... But yeah speed is nice cramming two weeks of work into 20hrs.
and its an optimization the ruby version doesn't necessarily have. you could have just as easily written:

var names []string
for i, user := range users {
if user.isAdmin {
names = append(names, user.Name)
}
}

and hilariously it likely still would be faster than ruby. I've managed large golang and ruby projects and the difference in maintenance work between the two is insane and its not a good look for ruby.
I guess I had a few reactions offhand:

1. Pretty interesting.

2. The criteria for reproducibility seem a little rough to me? They seem to be sort of distant from things like registered replication, publication bias analysis etc.

3. My gut impression is you need some kind of meta-scientific model, eg something that models the probability of studying an association, the observed association conditional on that, effects on heterogeneity of effect sizes etc.

4. Along those lines, I wonder if there's an implicit schema of looking for nonzero associations and documenting them rather than reporting best estimated strength of known association? Maybe not.

5. I'm curious how you define nodes/topics versus subnodes/subtopics. I suspect defining the nodes/topics and their boundaries would become tricky?
Interestingly, accusations of whataboutism are themselves kind of mindless. You do X, but so do you, whataboutism

Right, because it's small tech blogs that are the backbone of the Russian economy, not its state owned energy companies which still continue to sell to Europe.

I mean sure, it's great perfomative activism but how exactly does cancelling OP helps them?
This is a significant issue for anyone doing business with Russia. I’m happy with c3d in general but there is a possibility I will be forced to use another kernel
Individual industries/countries maybe, but I very much doubt "extremely common in Europe for any kind of skilled job".
It guarantees that when people do things in silly ways, their silliness is splayed across so many characters and lines that you'll never have the time to change an appreciable portion of them.
It’s like taking something that was set up to do A, and saying that we shouldn’t deprecate it because it’s going to do B
As an Eastern European, I disagree. This guy is right. It has been done before (Solidarnosc) and it can be done again.
Oh sure, I completely agree. But a clear trail of custody around all of the text segments that end up in the binaries that get executed serve both use cases well.

I appreciate that for a lot of desktop users they just want it to work and aren't terribly picky about which minor version of `libfoo` is required to get Firefox or Chrome to start.

But there are vendors and maintainers who are deeply concerned about such things when attempting to give the desktop user a seamless experience, and why a big mushy puddle of who-friggin-knows code makes that job any easier?

Who friggin knows. I think it's just inertia.

The fact of the matter is that everything from snaps to flatpaks to docker to this whole containerization craze is mainly dealing with the pick a card, any card outcome you get with a bunch of random `.so` in `/usr/lib/`.
There is a slight difference between the two. With a map[†]bool, you can do something like:

if myset[thing] { ... }

With a map[T]struct(), you end up with:

if _, ok := myset[thing]; ok { ... }

Sometimes, the saving in space is TOTALLY worth the extra verbosity. Sometimes, the slight clarity from "non-existent keys return the zero value" wins.
> I think you are also suggesting

Tangentially, perhaps, but I wouldn't say that is the main argument.

I see the main argument as:

If the biology doesn't make sense within your current hypothesis, it is most likely the hypothesis which is wrong.

and the LSD argument is not about scientists taking drugs, but about scientists paying attention to evidence which comes from taking drugs. Which is very reasonable. Certainly as reasonable as other ablation studies, which are commonly accepted as good scientific practice (when kept within ethical bounds).

There is a lot of history there between China and Tibet reaching all the way to the Yuan dynasty. For example, the Mongolian people have deep ties with the Tibetan Buddhists, such that the Mongolian rulers of the Yuan dynasty gave a lot of leeway to the region. The Manchurian rulers of the Qing dynasty were Buddhists themselves and found a way to politically claim the area while letting Tibet run as a vassal state.

Lastly, there was this prophecy among the Tibetans about the diaspora.

China has historically considered themselves as the axis mundi of the world. The name “中國” when translated to “Middle Kingdom” loses a lot of the flavor. Better translated as “Central Kingdom”, an insular society in which the far-flung frontiers pivot around the Chinese culture.

Both the Opium Wars and the Boxer Rebellion were rude awakenings and humiliating. But I think a lot of people in the West underestimate how much China could have been the superpower at the time, and instead chose not to.

I think China’s political goals in the modern time make more sense when viewed this way. Consolidate the historical territories it once held. Make its influence known so other polities can’t humiliate and rob China again.
I considered it but, iirc, it's Linux-specific and I wanted something that could run on BSDs too.

That supplying weapons does help save civilian lives is a non-sequitur for me. Technically, if you only care about civilian lives, you would immediately surrender.

But as to your point, yes - I also think this is mostly virtue signalling - you'd need to lock the columns of the government's power out, i.e. specifically target any members of police/government institutions/military (Edit: as private persons, not only at their workplace).

Edit2: Also, specifically targeting only them has a much larger effect than blanket-banning everyone. But I guess it's technically unfeasible without resorting to nation state levels of intelligence resources.

People say this, but there is little research supporting this claim.

Those look clumsy but you would only use something like that when in fact you define a similar but not the same operation for Strings and Integers. And then the argument-type-suffix would look more natural. For instance:

saveInt (i)

saveString(s)

saveBox(box)

saveCat (cat)

And then it might make more sense to define classes Box and Cat and say:

box.save()

cat.save()
