Java _needs_ lots of GC tuning parameters because you have practically no way of tuning the way your memory is used and organized in Java code. In Go you can actually do that. You can decide how data structures are nested, you can take pointers to the inside of a a block of memory. You could make e.g. a secondary allocator, allocating objects from a contiguous block of memory.

Java doesn't allow those things, and thus it must instead give you lots of levers to pull on to tune the GC.

It is just a different strategy of achieving the same thing:

I'm skeptical. I concede it's probably a hard problem but there is an entire field dedicated to hard statistical problems called data science. What is the point of having detailed patient histories and data if it can't be used to inform decisions?

Monads and monadic comprehension and recognizing when to use such. The fact that so many tricky things are simplified when boiled down to map/flatmap/join/ (along with laws) is so fucking powerful it's astounding. That you can model state transitions, concurrent computations, callbacks, dealing with 'happy path' short circuiting all with the same 'pattern' (and syntactic sugar!) seems like a cheat code.
I see a lot of comments here about post spam.

There seems to be a relatively simple solution - require a proof-of-work puzzle to be solved before the server will accept your comment submission. Then put the comment into a review queue anyway.

Valid users submit comments very infrequently compared to an automated bot. They won't be inconvenienced if you set the difficulty right, and their environmental impact and electricity costs will be negligible.

Bots will be attempting to submit spam comments en-masse, and so will need to be spending a large amount of money on electricity for solving these problems. The expected value per problem they solve will be extremely low, and so they'll actually be losing money due to electricity costs - and as for environmental impact, they could have been burning that CPU to mine bitcoin or something anyway (and, after they notice the servers they run their bots on start getting pegged on CPU, they'll quickly add your site to a blacklist).

This solution also has the benefit of not feeding Google's ML efforts like Recaptcha would, or requiring you to set up Cloudflare, or inconvenience your users.

What are the downsides?

Lawyers are how you get them to pay attention and respond to you when companies do shitty things and you don't have recourse. It's really not that expensive or difficult to send a letter to their counsel and get a reply.

Every business needs some kind of legal advice, they don't have to be on retainer. You probably did have one or more lawyers that your leadership was in contact with for particulars. Every business I've worked at has dealt with legal bullshit at some point (even the 3-4 person startups!).
A increase in wages comes out of profit (and adds to costs). Revenue is irrelevant to if a company can afford wages.

I meant that Amazon profit is 10% of revenue.
The cost for me to get into the city with a human-driven car is close to $100 each way which is too high for pretty much anything other than going to the airport. Cut that in half and eliminate parking and it’s more thinkable for an evening event.
Also:

- Mass transit is full of big heavy vehicles running mostly empty on off-peak hours. It's more efficient only at rush hour. I'd expect net efficiency over the full usage is worse, compared to electric cars.

- As they start making custom robocar hardware, it'll become a mix probably including smaller lighter single-occupancy cars.

- Mass transit ought to become much more useful and attractive given on-demand robocar rides to and from your station.

- (Added:) Congestion pricing becomes more doable for cars that are already networked for other reasons. Congestion pricing is the obvious approach to really solving congestion.

Yes. If all the sorely needed renewable energy were to be used for something useful,there wouldn’t be this much opposition. Using it for doom scrolling, ads, and waste of time - sure sane people are against it. I’m happy that people see through the bullshit for once.

IMO, They should be allowed in only if they produce 100% of the renewable energy they could consume. Let Facebook pay the millions in windmills and solar panels, and sure, they can be part of the society.

Developing a good memory.
Maybe the sweet spot is to have someone pair with an expert when they are getting started and when they are struggling to understand things. Personally when I pair program I use a large fraction of my brain to interface with the other person. This leaves me much less brain power to work on the actual problem at hand. And it's far more exhausting to me than working alone.
Pseudoephedrine is a stimulant and not a particularly pleasant one at that. Here in Canada there's still cold medicines with it in them, and to be honest, when I see it, I avoid it.

It may not be as good of a decongestant but phenylephrine won't keep me up at night. And when I'm sick with a cold what I really need is a good sleep.
Even then, people are different. Pairing for me is good now and then, but I need time on my own in between to figure things out my way. It's like hybrid work, nice as an option. I once had a boss who tried to force me to pair program with him at his convenience to check up on me, had.

This is largely just a semantic argument. There are developers that are individuals (eg, you and me), and developers that are businesses (eg, EA, or Match Group). Developers that are businesses can be (and frequently are) predatory, just as businesses are frequently predatory.

Seems like you can use the same arguments for encryption.

- Not having anyone "watch out" for your communications

- the ability to pirate or download content illegally

- can have a lawyer handle secure communications

- just use a different messaging service

Clearly we value the freedom and privacy provided by encryption to ignore these arguments.
Yes, it's absolutely very difficult to do rigorous statistical analysis.

Genetics is oversimplified to non-physicians. It's cool that we can diagnose and predict the likelihood of getting Huntington's disease using our knowledge of genetics, but extremely few diseases are this simple. There are huge swaths of the human genome that we don't understand but are likely playing some important role in the regulation of other genes and diseases. We are nowhere close to being able to look at a patient's genome to predict anything useful outside of a handful of exceptions.

Patient histories are honestly often garbage—I say that as a physician. I look through dozens of patients' charts every day, and there are constantly errors, incomplete documentation, and fragmented records across multiple institutions. Just last week I read a chart for a patient who had a documented hysterectomy from years ago. The brand new CT scan I saw showed a perfectly normal uterus. Once something goes in a patient's history it's nearly impossible to correct or remove. If some doctor from ages ago said the patient is allergic to medication X, but the patient denies it, what do I do? Usually, we opt to leave the allergy listed out of fear of the consequences if the patient is wrong.

Today's fun fact: On cheaper devices (anything cheaper than say Yubico's Security Key 2 product, and even often for common uses with products in that range too) there actually isn't ever "more than one key on the physical key". They have a single key baked inside them (typically an AES symmetric key) You can use them to authenticate as you on an unlimited number of sites because they're not actually remembering the private keys used to authenticate so they don't need to store them anywhere!

Let's watch how that trick is done, starting with a much more expensive device that has plenty of storage, an iPhone.

When you enrol the iPhone as an authenticator, the standard requires it to provide a very large ID number for that enrolment, and it warns implementers these aren't serial numbers if they're picking an ID use random numbers. The iPhone signs a message with a proof of freshness (random numbers the Relying Party picked), a proof of who the message is for (a hash of the Relying Party's DNS name) an elliptic curve public key it just picked at random, all signed with the corresponding private key. This is sent to the Relying Party (ie a web site) along with the ID number and enrolment has succeeded. The iPhone just stores all that in Flash because hey, it has gigabytes of flash storage so who cares. When you need to authenticate to some web site, the site gives back the ID number, the iPhone finds the right entry in Flash, retrieves the private key and produces a new signed message to authenticate.

However, the ID is so big for a good reason -- a whole elliptic curve private key can fit with space for an AEAD tag to spare. So instead of gigabytes of flash storage a $15 FIDO authenticator just uses AES to encrypt the random private key for this site (using the symmetric key baked inside it), and provides that encrypted message as the ID number for the enrolment. Then it can forget the private key! When a site wants you to authenticate later, the site gives back the ID number (always a big random-looking number anyway remember) and your authenticator decrypts the ID number to get back the private key for that site, signs the authentication message and immediately forgets the private key again.

It's genius. If you came up with this idea independently of reading about FIDO/ WebAuthn congratulations you might have a future in cryptographic engineering.

Generally, `/usr` is for stuff packaged by your distribution, while `/usr/local` (so, `/usr/local/bin` and so on) is for your own custom stuff. Both the `/usr` and `/usr/local` equivalents will be on your $PATH by default in most distros.

For stuff that isn't just a self-contained executable, consider installing it to the folder `/opt/$MY_APP` and either symlinking the main binary into `/usr/local/bin` or putting a wrapper script in there (if the thing doesn't like being symlinked outside of its primary install dir). The wrapper can be as simple as:

#!/bin/sh
exec /opt/my-app/bin/my-app "$@"

Does anyone has thoughts on this?
If data science was that efficient on healthcare records, we'd know it by now and everyone would do it. There is no 'big healthcare data'. We gather mostly noise, and records are full of blatant mistakes. Medicine is still more art than science today, and records mostly give you a 'feeling' for the patient's condition in light of your MD education, with a little hard data sprinkled on top.
I agree, I think the bigger story in all of this was the timeline to fix! Like if you go into the whitepaper and look at the detailed timeline, it is absurd how badly Wyze mishandled the incident.

There's a nice guide by Ben Eater on Youtube about a breadboard computers: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLowKtXNTBypFbtuVMUVXN...

It doesn't sport any modern features like DMA, but builds up from the core basics: a 6502 chip, a clock, and a blinking LED, all hooked up on a breadboard. He also built a basic VGA card and explains protocols like PS/2, USB, and SPI. It's a great introduction or refresher into the low level hardware concepts behind computers. You can even buy kits to play along at home!
I haven't seen anyone link it yet, so I will. Scott Alexander talks about why people shut down comment sections, as part of explaining why the CW (read: politics) thread on his subreddit got shut down:

Choice quote which does a good job of summarizing what I have seen:

“In addition, the differential direct and indirect effects of income on high school achievement and, in turn, high school achieve-ment on SAT scores may also be explained in terms of residential racial and economic segregation which are, through property values and taxpolicies, related to the quality of schooling. Moreover, the poverty effects reported here suggest the lack of social and educational resources in the larger community that are needed to supplement and complement the learning taking place in schools.”
> Mass transit is full of big heavy vehicles running mostly empty on off-peak hours. It's more efficient only at rush hour. I'd expect net efficiency over the full usage is worse, compared to electric cars.

That is really only true in the states right? In other countries with decent mass transit systems, it seems like they are really full during rush hour but only mostly full at other times, utilization is very good. American systems seem to be dysfunctional...probably because cars are more convenient for off peak travel. I can see how door-to-door automated vans or even taxis could fill in off peak travel here, while the big vehicles serve mostly peak demand (in the states, elsewhere it isn't as needed).
I think the fast answer, unfortunately, is going to Microsoft or Apple. They aren't going anywhere.
unfortunately if you need a rare surgery (to treat a rare condition), this doesn't work very well. it also isn't enough for surgeries with subjective outcomes (such as vaginoplasty.) with the former you look for a competent surgeon with many good outcomes on related surgeries of similar complexity, and who keeps up with or participates in research. with the latter... image boards? word of mouth? whoever your insurance covers? I get hung up on that kind of choice.
There's also odd/interesting architectures like one of the earlier Raspberry Pis, where the GPU was actually running its own operating system that would take care of things like shader compilation.

In that case, what's actually being written to shared/mapped memory is very high level instructions that are then compiled or interpreted on the GPU (which is really an entire computer, CPU and all) itself.
I guess it depends on your definitions for "limited", "global styles", or "scale". :)

https://every-layout.dev prescribes use of a robust global .css stylesheet with global and element selectors, paired with a brilliant and flexible typography-based scale, custom properties (think "design tokens"), and dedicated layout primitives, that combine to do nearly all the styling work a site could need. There's a place for utility classes as needed. By embracing the cascade and leveraging it properly -- ie, its exception-based paradigm -- it hugely reduces the amount of CSS you need to write (which is otherwise so typically bloated, radically over-specified, and brittle). It's hard to overstate how profoundly different and better our use of CSS can be, when it's based on the axioms so beautifully illustrated by https://every-layout.dev.
