This is how you get more nukes in the world. If NATO wouldn't help protect the Baltics, Poland etc then it's pretty clear their only option for long-term sovereignty would be banding together to create their own nuclear deterrence. No amount of training would stop a country like Russia (or the US) from trying their luck at some point.

Russia attacking its neighbors goes back centuries. And for that matter, so does western Europe and the US. If there's no formal alliance, then the western powers would be a threat too.
The fact that “The State of Fortran” is a paper on arXiv instead of a blog post actually says a lot about the state of Fortran.

Since it sounds like you're familiar with the field, any chance you've come across a CS- or C-mount lens with an autofocus motor? I've looked around a bunch and haven't had much luck. The current solution is a full C-mount-to-Canon-EF-mount adapter that has drive electronics in it, but it's eye-wateringly expensive and huge & heavy.
thanks for sharing, I've been looking for something like this!

do you have any plans to expand into other chains?
It's incomputable regardless of the language chosen. And two different languages only affect the Kolmogorov Complexity up to a constant (the maximum size of an interpreter for one language written in the other language).
No, Dec(0^n) would give you a unique keystream never used before or since. That is the whole point of the >>one-time<< pad.
> every OSS starts off crappy and full of bugs and usually not even close to finished.

I think the quality/bugginess isn't as much of a factor as the fact that the codebase was not written with the intention of becoming OSS. Things like lack of documentation, hard-coded secrets, inflexible hosting/deployment, etc. are difficult to account for after the fact. And if you ignore these things and just "throw code over the wall", then virtually no one will even look at your code, let alone use it. Kind of a waste of time just to indulge a few self-righteous commenters on some message board, if you ask me.

A lot of OSS software was written with the intention of being open-sourced, so many of the things that make open-sourcing a previously-closed repo difficult are considered upfront.

I am so happy to see that this correct explanation has finally spread.

When I first started posting on HN the standard response you would get was the retcon explanation like the parent comment or even more nonsensical ones like "usr == UNIX system resources".

At the time cursory searching could not find any actual explanations for this. I started a deep dive into Usenet history and reaching out to folks who knew the history, looking for scraps of info in old Unix books, etc and found the correct explanation as you posted. It was entirely an ad hoc solution to running out of disk space. /usr got moved to the second disk. When root got full again they moved some large binaries to /usr/bin. When the /usr disk got full the user home directories were the easiest thing to move so they moved to /home on a third disk. Every other explanation is purely post-hoc rationalization.

Since then I've been pointing it out when the topic comes up and I am happy that general knowledge of the actual history has started to spread.

Note: I am not taking credit for this, many other people have been correcting the story both before and after me. I'm just glad the true story is seeping into the collective tech community. Sometimes misinformation or incorrect "facts" seem to linger no matter how many times and how many people correct them... but this makes me hopeful that misinformation can be corrected.
It doesn't depend on language. Kolmogorov Complexity is about information. It requires understanding the minimum amount of information needed to perform a task. And information is, naturally, measured in bits.
The value of K for any language is within a constant of K for any other language. To convince yourself this is true, imagine constructing an interpreter for your preferred language in whatever language you are given. You can always prepend this (fixed-sized) interpreter to a program in your preferred language, adding a constant value to the complexity.
can you add a page called like "how it works" or something like that which lays out what you just posted here.

I went the site and I was like I don't get it(ok I kinda got it but this was much clearer).

I get your point, because I'm "baking" some code I would like to open source one day and cleanups are in order.

However, when you're closing shop dumping the code out there for others to figure out how to run, even if you can't help them set up an env from scratch still helps. I also think we need more spaghetti code out there, would help teach new developers how to maintain and refactor "legacy" code.

The credentials in source code thing, I thought by this time would have been a "solved" issue, but I guess some people still yolo it :). Credentials in source code, are the equivalent of password on post it notes ;)

Accelerate and MKL have some overlap (notably BLAS, LAPACK, signal processing libraries and basic vectorized math operations), but each also contains a whole bunch of API that the other lacks. Neither is a subset of the other.

They both contain a sparse matrix library, but exactly what operations are offered is somewhat different between the two.
They both have image processing operations, but fairly different ones. Accelerate has BNNS, MKL has its own set of deep learning interfaces...
Taken more generously:

* There is a lot of criticism.

* At least some of that criticism is bad in this particular way. (As per an individual opinion.)

* Here's a way to communicate the same criticism that is not bad in that particular way.

As compared to the bug report:

> I downloaded warp for the first time based on a link someone sent me about it being in public beta, but I'm immediately presented with a login form that I cannot dismiss. I know I cannot be the only developer who would never do a cloud login to use a terminal, let alone do it without any indication why it's needed or what it implies will be collected/transmitted to the warp team.

Which is describing the software working as the developers intended and calling that a bug. Criticism can be expected to be better.
Money is never free, it flows from one pocket to another. Money represents an amount of intrinsic value which is at its most reductive and following all supply chains all the way down, it is simply representative of a given amount of energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Even if you were to bring up the example of when more money is printed, it decreases the amount of value that all the other money is worth, and is therefore not free.

With that basis, one may say that there are certainly some reasons why someone would not want to accept or support money that effectively dilutes value for all others.
So - over the past three years, I had an extremely part-time regional government client who I worked with maybe 40-60hrs per year through a friend's boutique consultancy, mostly as a favor.

Last spring, I prepared a migration roadmap, including some initial estimates.

Apparently, when they sent out their RFP, they included my name and the majority of my roadmap. My current client (a large, multi-national consultancy) was reviewing to bid - and someone recognized my name and reached out to me internally. We all had a laugh when I explained how tiny the actual project would be - heck, my friend didn't even respond to the RFP as it would be too much headache and not within his niche focus area.

(Overall - this article is very accurate in my experience, I have been on both sides of the process, and typically it is a complete waste of time, resources and energy)
Common misconception that may vary state to sate - insurers insure the car, not the driver, and a lot of the follow-on driver specific fees can be fine-print disputed if you really want to go to the mat over it.

Accidentally the price thing is really easy to do.
You want to avoid RFPs except where you can exploit them. For example, if you are able to get by with smaller customers for a while, you can use the RFP process to gain access to stakeholders and test out ideas.

Procurement departments are often keen to encourage more participation to help cover for the fact the decisions have been made, but as long as you aren't taken in, then it's less of a problem. In government and some industries, they may have opportunities for smaller orgs through other entry points, but the main RFP entry point can be easier to work out.

Yes, exactly. It's an entirely pointless exercise because it doesn't take place in a vacuum. A "great reset" is pointless regardless of your particular aims because the world is the way it is for a reason.

Has anyone tried a recent version of MKL on AMD? I assume they were shunting AMD off into an AVX codepath because pre-Zen AMD lacked AVX2 (well, Excavator had I guess...).

If they are sending Zen down the generic AVX2 codepaths by default and those are competitive with, say, openBLAS, that seems reasonable, right?

Hopefully BLIS will save us all from this kind of confusion eventually.

This sounds like all the parents who've had one baby that slept well and spend the rest of their lives telling other parents what worked for them. Very difficult to draw anything meaningful from a sample size of one. Sometimes a company just works despite all your best efforts to sabotage it, and sometimes even then best founders can't make something work. Right idea, wrong time.
> Ignore carbon taxes that do nothing

Where have carbon taxes been enacted and in those places, have they failed to reduce consumption?

Reduce our own consumption, institute carbon taxes. Tell them if they don't do the same, their imports are embargoed. Actually follow through and accept the rise in cost of goods.
This is basically Uber Eats' business model. They sell you on the price of food as you would get it from the store, then they tack on a service fee, the driver tip, a driver fee, etc... The cost of the meal from selection to checkout doubles.

Identifying the connection between one-way functions and Kolmogorov complexity is truly impressive. But the article oversimplified a few things that may be misleading for someone.

1. One-way functions are not all cryptography. Some constructions may need stronger assumptions than one-way functions (we don't know yet if they do). So this problem is a “Master Problem” only for a subset of cryptography (symmetric encryption, pseudorandom generators, etc.).

2. This is not the first “Master Problem” to base one-way functions on. There's Levin's complete one way function [1; Section 4.3]. Breaking it is proven to be as hard as any other one-way function, in other words if there exist one-way functions then this is one of them. But Levin's construction is somewhat artificial (it combines many one-way function candidates to create the “master one-way function”) and is not as surprising since its techniques and formulation are similar to how the usual one-way functions are defined. The connection from the linked article, on the other hand, is very surprising and unusual; it connects one-way functions to a more distant field which (to me) seems to be operating with quite different concepts.

It's also fun to know that similar “Master Problems” exist for other primitives too. For example, for public-key encryption there's a Complete Public Key cryptosystem [2]. Albeit this one is similar in spirit to Levin's construction (not as surprising IMO as the linked article), the complete cryptosystem is obtained by combining many other cryptosystems.

That's how things work in the real world: One uses truths to sell bullshit.

NIMBYs bemoan that local school districts can't accommodate extra kids and that local roads can't support new traffic. Yes, they cite true facts to hide the reality that "they want to see their home prices accelerate".

In this case, the elite (super wealthy and their cronies in politics, think tanks) tell us that embracing refugees help humanity, learning cultures, etc, while they purchase citizenship in, properties to live in, jets to fly to, New Zealand.

These days, everyone uses truths, but see what they are hiding behind their truths!!

> many servers don't pay taxes on their tip earnings

This was certainly not the case as recent as 2015-2017 when I was working in restaurants. Most of my coworkers would complain around tax time that we would owe as much as $2000+. Working both in a corporate restaurant and smaller family operated one at the same time, the staff was made to essentially over report your nightly earnings as we had to pay out 20% to the bartenders, kitchen staff.
Oh... Not hopeless. The very fact that I spent some minutes watching Interpretations of Girl With a Pearl Earring, is the enough evidence that it is not hopeless. I praise the work that was done. Moreover I hoped that people would get it as an inspiration to do even more.
OTOH, it does seem a bit out of control. Now, when I go to Burgerville (a regional fast food chain in the PNW), the POS system asks me to enter a tip. Makes me say "No tip" if I don't want to. This is for a transaction that involves no service -- I stand there, they hand me a bag with food in it, I leave.

It's a bit of a dark pattern. First it makes you actively say "No I don't want to tip for this" and then I gurantee plenty of people have that nagging thought in the back of their head that the food they get may be different depending on if they tip. After all, the tip is before you get anything.

>We did not waste money.

Why did they have to go and throw this one in? This is entirely subjective. I guarantee that a full audit into their expenses would find at least some waste. Placing such a general comment as the last item in a list of mostly specifics gives it extra importance and seems to imply that the items above it are a waste of money. It gives the whole article a "we know better" vibe that is trying present itself with a "here is what we did" vibe.
>I still don't know what I'm supposed to do with /usr/local, what the difference is between /usr/share and /usr/local/share, what the point of /opt is if programs install their files and dependencies in /usr(/local?)/lib anyway [...]

/opt - You put everything related to program foo under /opt/foo . Binaries, libraries, configs, it doesn't matter; all go under /opt/foo. Everything specific to foo should be under /opt/foo, such that deleting /opt/foo also wipes all traces of foo from your system.

/usr/local - Equivalent to /opt/jeroenhd, with a substructure mirroring /usr, ie top-level bin, lib, share directories. If jeroenhd compiles multiple things foo and bar and they all end up under /usr/local, removing them after the fact is hard due to the difficulty of determining what files are foo's and what are bar's.

You say "if programs install their files and dependencies in /usr(/local?)/lib anyway" as if you don't have a choice, but that's up to the programs. Eg anything with a configure script should let you configure the prefix to /opt/foo so that it installs there instead of /usr/local

>[...] and why I have /usr/lib, /usr/lib32 and /usr/lib64 when only two directories and the right environment variables should suffice.

/usr/lib - Architecture-independent libraries

/usr/lib32 - 32-bit libraries

/usr/lib64 - 64-bit libraries

(For the Debian family the arch-specific libraries are mostly in subdirectories of /usr/lib named for the triple, eg /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu)

Not sure which of these you'd excise to be left with only two, or what env vars would have to do with anything.

Read the rest of the thread. That commenter already admitted they support legalizing slavery.

Supporting absolute autonomy clearly means supporting selling yourself into slavery. How could it not? Part of autonomy is choosing when and for what duration to surrender it.

Fortran is the ideal language for data-oriented programming. Ultimately that’s where performance is. I don’t see it trying to compete by creating a kind of graph-oriented language (besides pointers and somewhat barebones generics). You probably want a fancy higher-level language for this anyway.

It is evolving towards a great language for parallel HPC, integrating neatly both shared-memory and distributed computing in a very nice framework. Much better than the usual hodgepodge of OpenMP and MPI (or whatever API du jour NVIDIA or Intel happen to be pushing).
