I want delphi to die. Not that I don't like the language or the IDE, quite on the contrary: it is pleasing to use. I want it to die because it remained "too closed" for "too long". Updating from one version to a future version was nightmare, depending on a single vendor is dangerous, the way they ignored multi-platform for decades was bad, historic prices left many hobbyists out of the game, no consensus, no committee, no public consultancy on how the tools and language should evolve, the complete ignorance of how FLOSS tools evolved along around the same period and now most languages and used IDE's are at least partially FLOSS makes me want to see delphi die.

Make the effort to use or promote lazarus.
Why? You'll know them anyway from caniuse, given if you want to support a broad range of users you won't want to just support the latest version of browsers anyway.
1. The procedure you describe would make patient recruitment non-consecutive, contrary to the reported procedure. Consecutive means you don't skip anyone who has the condition you're trying to treat. You would have to skip people if you're selecting matched treatment and control groups. In this case, people with sepsis who don't fit your matching design have to be skipped and excluded from the study.

2. Patient subgroup counts matched perfectly not only on COPD, but on about a dozen other conditions. Difficulty of matching subgroup counts grows rapidly with number of dimensions. To match subgroup counts for Group A and Group B near-perfectly on a dozen different dimensions, there's no substantially easier method than just one-to-one perfect matching, which requires a very, very large number of patients. You have to take Patient A1, who has subset X1 of 12 different conditions, and find Patient B1 with that exact same subset. Then repeat, 47 times in this case.

It is already quite hard to find the person B1 who has the exact subset X1 of conditions that person A1 had. For example, if there are 12 conditions, each condition is present in half the people that come into your clinic, and the conditions are independent, you'll need to go through 2^12 = 4096 people, on average, to find another exact match. The conditions may be a bit correlated but this can only help you so much when you're talking about 12 different conditions.

To repeat that feat 47 times is very hard. You'd have to churn through 10s or 100s of thousands of sepsis patients to get your matching subset. This would require access to an enormous pool of sepsis patients and constant reporting of all the conditions they have, that you want to match on. For this to be done without any mention in the paper is utterly beyond belief.

And the fact that the counts match near-perfectly in an off-by-1 fashion does not help the situation at all.
I watched (partially) the video. Do you think it shows what you can do with django-forge? Does anybody here think so? In this case I will watch it again in 3 month.
> Go buy an M1 machine, use it for a week, and return it.

I did.

.

> And single core performance can't be discounted

It doesn't support the speed claims made about the machine, and as a result, it can.

.

> turns out, it's often a huge component of user experience.

Yes, and as soon as it's pointed out that the M1 doesn't win on single core performance either, the goalpost moves to performance per watt.

And when it's pointed out that the M1 doesn't win there either, it moves to battery life.

And then ...

The point is, M1 only looks good before hard numbers are revealed.

You know, like when they said it was faster than a 3090, and it's actually slower than a 2060?
In a somewhat comical sense, it's pretty "mature" to draw up a contract with someone (a very "professional" thing to do) to prove a point that someone trolling on your video has no idea what they're talking about. How else could he prove the point in any other realistic manner?

Calling something immature when it's a well thought-out and explored topic doesn't seem fair. He's touched on how random internet trolls hurt other YouTubers, not just him, in other videos (to show this isn't some impulsive thing).
Thank You!
You are right! The video shows the first step, which is the crushing. Lignin mixing is step 2.
The road can be used by cars immideatly after compacting, as with other methods. However, if You want asphalt on top, it is necessary to let it dry for 2-3 weeks to let the water-solved Lignin harden and dry.
In the video it was already a lot of small particles in the ground. We can make rocks smaller, but not bigger:-) The sizes of the gravel bits are evenly distributed, but with some fines on the top(due to Newton). We are using 2,5 meters crushers. That makes it possible to not stop the traffic while working.
Distance to Moscow, primarily. The abandonment of treaties related to short-range nuclear missiles means it's possible for NATO to put nuclear armed missiles on the border between Ukraine and Moscow. There would be no time to react to a first strike, meaning MAD would no longer be in play.
Why would you ever spend $6000 on $300 of parts to run an operating system that could be run on a regular computer?
I believe the number was intended to be cumulative, not per city. In any case, the Census has only released county and state 2021 population estimates, not "places" i.e. cities. So we don't yet have a shared objective basis to discuss urban center vs. metro trends.
> It's an unconfirmed and probably foolhardy assumption that the brain alone creates and supports the existence or propagation of consciousness.

This is not an assumption that science makes. However, we have never observed consciousness in anything that does not have a brain, and physically altering a brain can cause fundamental changes in consciousness. So, until there is evidence that consciousness is not tied directly to a brain, its the best working model we have. Suppositions to the contrary are interesting but meaningless without being supported by evidence.
I’ve worked on React applications where a single key press would cause lags over 300ms. The React profiler wasn’t able to show any latency in my render functions and using the browser profiler I saw that all time was spent somewhere inside React’s internal.

There’s some real overhead of React’s virtual DOM.

I'd argue that the things he despises so much are the exact same things that prevent consummation, so at a fundamental level, I doubt the soundness of his reasoning.
It continues to surprise me that humans are surprised at other animals having deep intelligence and emotions and thoughts. As if the fact that animals don't speak English or whatever else human language is somehow a negative reflection upon them.

Alternate option - stemming from the OP comment - if we want to get children involved in engineering and science fields, and this kind of cool shit science is how we can easily do it, they absolutely have to assume a portion of their audience won't know what is real and what isn't.

In other words, not everyone is you. Always remember that.
People in the EU are not going to freeze to death even if Russian gas and oil is banned. Germany would lose a few percent of GDP, equivalent to couple hundred bucks per capita. I would be surprised if they pull of the ban before this winter is over, though.

FWIW people in Ukraine are already freezing to death, thanks to Russia's deliberate attacks on infrastructure.
Isn’t that probably as it should be? Hikers shouldn’t be asked to share trails with powered vehicles that can be tweaked to go very, very fast.

I think we as internet users are as much a part of the 'you're the product' and 'free for life .. oh never mind' ecosystem because most of the users on the internet won't respond to anything else.
Not so sure about that. I bet it was just some lawyers adding the clause.
IMVH because of sheep effect: Big&Powerful push for web(cr)apps because that's what they need for profit and countless others think that following them is a good idea...

Beside that "desktop" was equally abandoned by giants, reduced to a modern dumb terminal with a generic "endpoint" name, just a bootloader for a WebVM improperly named browser for legacy reasons, so develop for desktop means develop for something uncertain: classic widget-based UIs have proven to be limited and nowadays also derailed and crappy, modern document UI essentially exists only in Emacs (and classic, now abandoned, systems) and in web/notebook UI with an uncertain future. So sheep effects aside many think "if I develop a webapp today it's code can be combined with/injected in something else tomorrow", while if I choose Qt who know what can happen, same for GTk, same for non-portable UI libraries (Windows, OSX) and classic Tk are almost abandoned...

We must rediscover classic desktop tech but that means rediscover desktops, not as dumb terminals but as a single and unique system with anything ready available to the user, like classic SmallTalk workstations or actual Emacs, where the concept of "composability" web-app have it's far superior and directly available to the user. Such move can only be done by a community or a giant, since we do not have anymore a real FLOSS community, most are just unpaid voluntary workers for some giant, simply because nowadays most are on someone else computer (so called "cloud"), and giants have the opposite interest... It's unfortunately unlikely.

Everyone have came back to laptop and desktop just because with the push to remote work due to covid scenario they need something to really work or study with and so it appear clear that mobile crap is unusable for that. The mere fact that too many still choose laptop (that are craptop essentially) not because they travel but as desktop replacer clearly depict a thing: people do not have learnt the lesson. They choose "computers" just because they need them, but most still fail to understand that WFH is not put a craptop, perhaps a 14" one, somewhere in a house but dedicate a place, possibly a silent and lockable one (just to avoid Judge cat, MP who have sex in streaming, ...) PER HUMAN BEING in their own house with a proper office setup there.

We can hope for a real came back to desktop if and when WFH switch mode from an emergency push chosen to make companies pay less shifting costs to workers to a stale and developed work mode. Perhaps then enough people will realize what does they really need and so the demand will be big enough to force a change...
Somewhat related, but I have talked about this twitter thread a few times recently

Essentially, this someone was working at a homeless community shelter, and often found the bathroom completely destroyed. Paper everywhere, missing the toilet, intentional destruction and trying to make it as messy as possible. Every time they would clean it it would just get trashed once again

They had a theory that being trapped in that kind of situation gives them so little control that their brain wanted to take control over something however it can, which lead to the bathroom situations.
They related this to “cancel culture”, needing to call out people for the littlest things, or the loss of direction in social justice, but I find it applies to a lot more than that.

My device is freaking out rn, cant pull up a link, but if you search for “the trashed bathroom thread” you should be able to find it.

Maybe got it?: https://twitter.com/tercicatrix/status/1376210092492791809?l...

Great story. It is also worth mentioning that Ed Hamrick himself answers all support emails. They are only a sentence or two, but it’s just a remarkable thing.
I was just thinking about this in the shower. The death of the Harvard architecture combined with the slow adoption of w^x seems to vindicate the problem, but I think there's a deeper truth to it: Turing complete machines can emulate any other Turing complete machine. Harvard architecture is immune to stack-smashing, but it's not immune to privilege escalations - Fundamentally, there's a usability tradeoff of "Loading new executable code from the data segment" that makes true Harvard architectures inoperable. We've settled on a happy if imperfect medium.
I suppose they have to demonstrate that the error you get derived from the use of the SDK.
They are, they just don't hang out here as much.

You've got shops which make Mac apps, Windows apps, and both, and it's three fairly different cultures. The "both" shops are mostly large and well established, Macs have a lot of indie devs, and Windows has a deep culture of B2B apps that is chugging along just fine. Not to mention PC games, which are certainly desktop apps, but I consider them in their own category and figure games aren't what you meant either.

I agree vouchers may make sense in small towns where it’s not cost effective to have an education system at all. I think the town is relying on it’s smallness to avoid costs relating to special needs though and will run into substantial challenges the moment it tries to give a $16,000 voucher to a student that costs far more to educate.

On 2) I agree that my calculations are simplified in the article and further reductions are necessary for cost neutrality.

I do not. In fact, I would do the same given the proper circumstances. The other person asked a question, and I gave my best approximation of an answer.
Yes, possibly dire consequences I agree. Two things not in a way of a rebuttal but to advance the dialogue

1) Artificial wombs ≠ no parents. Kids might just be handed over to folks who want to parent but don't want the pregnancy / birth.

2) Kids could be raised by the state. Has been done before, though generally as a form of military service, thinking specifically of the Ottoman devshirme system; granted they did abduction, but are a decent example of state managed child rearing

3) Maybe robots could do the parenting. Eventually they may be able to make a passable attempt at it. Reminded of the movie 'Mother' - a dystopia obviously but still...better than no be at all!

> Intel with decades of experience is barely "winning" against Apple's first desktop chip.

That's because Apple's benchmarks are against seven year old Intel chips.

Wait'll you look at a benchmark made by a skeptic.

.

> If Apple were ever to develop a desktop chip that chucked efficiency out the window and focused on raw performance by throwing as much power and cooling as possible at the chip? Things would probably get spicy indeed.

Sure thing. Call us when they do.

Well, no. They have real competitors, like AMD and TSMC and so on.
I come from an era of datacenters, colos and whatever else but I learned to adopt new terminology. Cloud isn't just a datacenter, it's all the services on top of it that exist remotely. All the things you don't manage. All the services you make use of. Anything you are not personally installing is in the cloud. That's how we've come to know it and that is the language the mainstream user knows. Just as we'll have difficulty accepting the rebranding of the internet to the Metaverse, it will be a thing that spans far beyond network connectivity.

I see your point, but not all of us are lucky to be born in such a place. I do admit that my bitterness may come from the fact that I live in a country where the social program is... not really the greatest, to say the least.
Wasn't the bot that tracked Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein banned? Curious to see if this goes the same route.
Why wouldn't you? Smarter people are generally happier than others too when the question is researched.

I suppose it's possible to mistake low neuroticism for stupidity. And if you don't talk to dumb people (pick an IQ range below 100) very often you might not know their worries and concerns, especially if they're not overt about them as is fashionable for Lisa Simpson-esque individuals.

Still bad news on adjusting your base intelligence (apart from drastically down through damage), I don't know about adjusting self-awareness though I suspect it's a bit more mutable in good and bad ways (if only because related traits better understood are more mutable), but at least your desire to feel happier or more content more often is a possible state for you to achieve if you work at it. Some people will recommend therapy (surprised nobody has internet-diagnosed you with depression already), or meditation, or philosophy, or drugs (prescription or party), or whatever (I like the idea and research of gratitude journals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratitude_journal but don't keep one), I don't want to recommend anything, just point out that personality and outlook is more mutable than something like base intelligence, which is good news for your melancholy should you wish to attempt change.
people are building desktop software and have been doing that all along. it never went away. people just think that it did. also, there are mature and solid toolkits for desktop software. why not use those? i would never use a shit app toolkit with its origins in web or browser applications to build desktop software. i have used applications built using web toolkits and the user experience or performance is second class.

One possible huge advantage of this is that it would align Apple to wanting durable devices that can be recycled / reused component wise.

E.g. Apple will want a device that doesn’t shatter when you drop it, maybe they will fix that if they own it…

Most smartphones are sold on a kind-of-subscription basis currently, it’s just organised by the phone carriers and bundled with their service cost (technically it’s a finance agreement and you own the phone, but in reality people don’t buy phones fully outright and it’s closer to a subscription service than outright purchase for most people).

Humans have achieved not just intelligence but co-operation.

we are "herd" enough that the benefits of learning from others overcomes the need to be smart enough to work it out yourself.

But individualistic enough that we won't follow the herd all the time (we might want to improve that given the success of religion and dictators).

But what I am trying to say is that intelligence is a necessary but not sufficbet condition. We also need ... politics ... for want of a better word.

Our brains seem to be wired as levels of co-operating systems coming to collective decisions - and that is a pretty good way to describe politics and society.

Human species is less a collection of organisms feeding and dying and more a distributed brain, trying to wake up.

Now that each node has a pocket sized way to communicate with each other node, I wonder what the conditions for consciousness really are?
No idea. But the things I care about are detailed and engineering-related. Execs shouldn't exist by default. Even if I couldn't point to anything bad they've done, that's not enough activation energy to require them.
But many of us are not very heavyweight docs/slides/sheets users. For 95%+ of what I do just having a web experience on a browser that’s just a login away is an infinitely better experience than the old desktop days.
