the "you name it" idiom in english is usually used to mean "anything you want", as in "you pick it"- so your first sentence reads like "native symbols are useful for anything, because (as everyone knows) symbolic programming is useful for anything"

i think the idiom you were going for was perhaps "you guessed it" or "you called it", as if poking fun at how, obviously, native symbols are helpful for symbolic programming, because it's the same word

> There have been much greater refugee crisis' (Syria, for example) that has not resulted in the entire fall of civilization.

Ukraine has, as of now, produced 4.7 million refugees, with another ~7 million internally-displaced people. That is over the course of 6 weeks.

The Syrian Civil War took 4 years to reach that refugee population, and currently stands at about 6-7 million refugees with roughly an equivalent number of IDP.

If the Ukrainian war persists for several months (which sadly seems likely), then the Ukrainian refugee count will eclipse the decade-long Syrian refugee count by the end of the year. Syria's refugee crisis--itself the biggest since WW2--isn't exactly "much greater" than Ukrainian's refugee crisis; if anything, it's the other way around.
Right, all this overhead is very pytorch specific and doesn't have to be present in all cases.
If you resolve everything at compile-time for a limited class of cases (which is what vectorflow does), it's possible to have a solution where none of this overhead exists at runtime (no dispatch, no indirections, no memory copies nor allocations...), neither during training nor serving.

I think pytorch has a genius design and makes excellent tradeoffs. But it's not the perfect solution to every problem. Genericity vs specialization: hard to win on all fronts.
> It's just Elon selling his own shares that he just bought, why would that affect investor confidence?

It could be read by a layman as "He spent a bunch of money, got a look at the internals and realized it was a bad move". In fairness it could also be interpreted as "He just fickle".

Ok so assuming march 14 to April 1. The market was up 8% over that time and TWTR was up 19%. Beta is 1.3 so with a beta adjustment the excess return from musk's buying is about 19-(8*1.3)=8.6%.

Is this a lot or a little impact for buying close to 10 percent of a large cap stock? It's hard to say. I'd say it's a bit lower than i would have expected. Nonetheless, it provides somewhat of a floor if musk decides to sell his stake.

Edit: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001418091/000110465...

Musk bought between Jan 31 and April 1. Market was up 2.8% and Twitter was up 11.5%. So the impact was less. 7.8% beta adjusted.... Really not much...
Looks interesting but makes little sense for Rails stacks at least, Hatchbox is some kind of de facto, especially at 15 US per server.

I wholeheartedly agree that Nemo provides a far better experience than Nautilus.

But Nemo is also not without issues. Crashes when deleting files in certain situations (folder tree is expanded and you delete all files). If you are using Nemo and use a lot of network drives or external drives, be prepared for random freezes.

When that freeze happens, killing Nemo doesn't help, nemo -q doesn't help, restarting cinnamon doesn't help. That's when I fire up the ol' trusted Thunar.

Thank you!

I really made it for myself, but I did set up a website last year (pugilis.com) and there is an older version there that I've made available for free. That version does not have the "MatchUps" feature though.

I'm really not a "marketing" guy but this week I started reaching out to some of the YouTube channels via email that cover boxing to see if any would want to partner with me to promote and sell the version with the analytics.

So far no one has got back to me. I think it's fair to say that boxing fans, as a group, may not be very tech savvy, and maybe even a bit intimidated by the idea of using an "app". And they may think my email is a scam. I put a link to the app in the email and they may be reluctant to click on it. Can't say I blame them if that's the case.

I think my next step is to make a video and put it on YouTube so they can see how it works and confirm it really is an app.

The entire premise is exchanging a cost for a perceived personal benefit. The addict isn't looking at whether or not this benefits society enough to not drink today, they're looking at whether it benefits them enough to not drink today. I do understand that the benefit is 5 + whatever they spend, but people with addiction issues are willingly choosing a financial cost to continue to do something that very likely has negative personal impacts on their lives for a short term fix. The flip side if the government could somehow impose a tax that ended up costing an addict $5/day more that likely wouldn't stop them from drinking, though they may drink a little less, or switch to a lower quality drink.
To me it sounds like you've successfully dedicated your life to making money, but money is not a pursuit that brings any happiness. It seems like you need to find a purpose in life that isn't making money, having a wife, raising kids, etc. Some true self identity. Try new things until you find something new you want to master and pursue it. Make some time for it.
The article doesn't mention what the potential "poison pill" would be. Is this something the board or executive of the company would do? If that's the case then that could bring on an avalanche of shareholder lawsuits. The executives and board of a publicly traded company have a fiduciary duty which precludes telling someone like Elon that his money is no good to attempt a take-over. This could get very entertaining and very litigious in short order.
Yes, that is what I meant by the "This has practical problems.." part.

CO₂ emissions is the extreme case of this difficulty. Almost everyone contributes a tiny part to the problem, and almost everyone is also a potential victim of it.

Because of that, I'm not categorically opposed to regulation handling these difficult situations. But I also note that airplane fuel IS regulated, and that has NOT solved the problem!

The best solution to CO₂ emissions is some form of carbon tax, but that has proven politically impossible in most jurisdictions.

Because he bought it with the assumption that his offer would be accepted and he could improve the company. Rejecting his offer opens the door to a world in which Twitter is worth less than what he paid for it: from both Musk's perspective, as well as that of others.
Sounds like you completed your first plan. Having one is good, but not worth worrying about. We all live a short while, then wither away and die, if we're one of the lucky ones. Get used to it.

> When people look to solutions of the free market this is an interesting example.

I think it is weird that people are still all for Laissez-Faire economics, considering we've tried it several times in history and it has always failed miserably (in before the ~~communists~~ say "but that wasn't _real_ Laissez-Faire). We literally saw it lead to quazi governments (meaning it literally destroys itself). I do believe capitalism has a lot of advantages, but no system is perfect. There probably is no global optima for the solution space. Worse, the solution space is dynamic! Good news is that we do know that multi-agent reinforcement games are pretty good at finding local optima (though they can often get trapped in local optima that we don't want). I think if you understand this it is clear that we need a body that can react to the dynamic nature of both the environment and desires (of the people) that can continually optimize and update the rules. I do think there's debate of how to do this, but I think it is very clear that too heavy of a hand isn't good and neither is too light of a hand. A pure competitive system can't account for externalizes or better yet, tragedy of the commons. As our world becomes even more complex and interconnected, and as we understand more about our environment and consequences of our actions, it is imperative that we think about these issues in a far more nuanced way and avoid thinking there are "correct" answers (as opposed to "good enough").

> Second, Bitcoin transactions are order-dependent within a block.

That's a little confused. Yes, bitcoin transactions are order dependent but only in the extremely narrow sense that a transactions can't double spend the same inputs and can't spend an output that hasn't been created yet.

Significant care has gone into assuring that bitcoin's script language remains a pure function of the transaction itself, so that all script validation can be performed once for a given transaction, can be performed with total parallelism with all other transactions, and isn't changed by adding/removing/reordering transactions. This means that any dependency between transactions must be explicit, by having the transactions consume outputs (which can be zero value) from the transactions they depend on.

Reordering transactions might change their validity due to input conflicts (which can be resolved very quickly using a hash table), but not due to the expensive-to-validate scripts in the transactions.

In ethereum contracts have fairly promiscuous access to shared data, including arbitrarily computed on the fly addresses. To discover a transactions dependencies you must execute it. One could imagine an implementation that executed all transactions eagerly in parallel, recorded a transcript of the data they touched, performed a union-find to cluster them, accepted one transaction from each disjoint cluster, then sequentially executed every remaining transaction (you can't execute the clusters in parallel, because their dependencies will change on re-execution with different state). ... but since dependencies are extremely common (people love to think sequentially, and the system makes that the easiest way to program) I expect that this would actually be a lot slower in practice in spite of the initial parallelism.

Aside, please don't link "bitcoinsv" -- it's a scam site setup by a conman that pretends to be Bitcoin's creator and uses billion dollar lawsuits to silence people who call out his fraud.
What about the simple selection of several files with the mouse? And then dragging that selection over another Nautilus window?

Instead of moving the files, the dragging action removes the selection, making it unusable for the most basic folder task.

Nautilus is so broken I prefer to use the console for most file related tasks.
The thumbnail problem goes back to a beginning mistake of aggregating and hash indexing all thumbnails into one directory. They should have just followed the solution from the xv viewer and supported .xvpics. The reason they've never fixed such basic ux things is just gnome developers being gnome developers.
Just to add, Luddites weren't irrationally afraid of technology like is commonly believed. They destroyed machinery because they saw it being used to destroy artisanship and their livelihoods. Perhaps we'd be better off of there were more Luddites going from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 or offshoring jobs, or military AI. Just as an example, I own furniture my parents bought in the 1960s when they were first married. It's still solid. My family has furniture from the 1800s that still is solid. The furniture I buy today I have to replace every 5 years and is complete garbage. Maybe we should stop considering being a Luddite as a pejorative and perhaps concede they might have been right about some industries.

Correct. The USPS has what are called "published" rates, which is the set of prices that can be shown to consumers. Labels marketplaces (like Etsy) get an unpublished discount on top of those base rates and that's where the profit comes from. Those contract rates are not disclosed.
Sorry to hear that. Depression can come and go. I hope you can look back at this point in your life at a future time and you can tell the story of how you moved into not feeling depressed
There is a lot to comment on here, but I'm going to look at this:
> Honestly depressed people can't get shit done as you do

This isn't true. I'm sorry the person you're living with is having a hard time getting out of bed, but there are a lot of people out there who have very severe depression who are "successful". What you describe is just one form that depression can take.

Some of the rest of what you wrote has merit. To be honest, it just sounds like OP doesn't have a fully developed sense of self (very common, esp for people in his generation). If they connect with who they are, and pivot their philosophy in life to connect with what's important to them (their values) they should at least feel a little better. This is where working with a therapist can be helpful. I'd specifically think ACT (acceptance commitment therapy) would be helpful in a situation like this. But, I'll leave the therapy stuff to therapy people.
> If programming is your job you seldom have the choice of the programming language.

This isn't true. Sure, you can't unilaterally pick whatever language you want when you work with other people. But for every piece of software ever built somebody had to decide what to build it with. And even though Julia has existed for 10 years, almost nobody is picking it over the alternatives.

Ruby inherited that ?! convention fromm scheme. All mutating procedures end with ! and all predicates with !.

Prefix notation has none of those pesky limitations if you can live with it :)

Edit: oh. Scheme is painfully monomorphic. Equality for.strings is string=?. Equality for chars is char=?.

Then there is object equality (eq? ...), eqv? ("Normally eq?") and equal? which is a generic equality predicate that works for all objects (including circular data structures).

Eq? is the one you would use for symbols. Symbols are always (almost, at least) eq?. One string is only eq? To itself, but not a string containing the same content.
Peace for me. And I want my government to prioritize that over peace for other countries at every opportunity. It ain't pretty, but it's how the world works.

> We found two blocks in our 12 day span, 14,217,123 and 14,241,282, for which miner profits from MEV exceeded four times the block reward.

I hope this becomes more common knowledge! All mining calculators are wrong as they predict earnings that are upwards of 80% lower than reality, for some people. There have been extended periods of time (weeks, months) where this has been true.

This is also one of the promises of the blockchain concept, in the Satoshi paper for Bitcoin, the idea is for transaction fees to exceed the block reward subsidy, in Bitcoin the hope is that it occurs before the year 2140, in Ethereum it has been occurring for several years, which is a great big deal. But it doesnt mean the outcome is good, we just dont have to wait to see how it plays out.
I have a Greenworks leaf blower, trimmer, and chainsaw. They all take the same battery cartridge, and they sell their tools without batteries so you only have to buy one battery and swap it around as needed. There are third party battery packs that will work as well.
Maybe we’re talking about different demographics? This is true of trust fund kids, but there’s a huge range of parental support. Most people I know have moving home as a safety net for homelessness, but they would be waiting until their parents die at 90 to get their first house if they were banking on inheritance.

Edit: It occurred to me that’s probably my fault from saying “enormous parental safety net” which maybe does imply trust fund kids. I really meant “people who have any parental support at all”, which seemed to be the net the author was casting. Even top quintile probably isn’t “financially support my children forever” money, is it?
I would say:

(1) Twitter is a poorly managed company and has been for a long time. A shake up could be a good thing.

(2) I don't see Musk as the person to do it. Mostly he uses Twitter to shoot himself in the foot and his free-speech fetishism doesn't ring true. Is he going to reinstate Trump's Twitter account? Is he going to encourage Narendra Modi to use Twitter to organize pogroms next?
Linuxonification v5.17
Wasn't expecting the author to start with their time at Nato. It certainly doesn't match the western narrative, but seems far closer to the Russian narrative (explained cohesively).

He seems to be claiming there wasn't weapons transfer to Donbass, etc when they were initially acting as break away republics. How does he explain MH17? I spent too much time looking at this.
Gnome developers actively discourage fixing things yourself even though they often use that as a reply to bug reports. Fixes are often rejected as "not bugs" so most just give up and move on.
Friend of the author here.

What is nice about this is that it allows you to get started with using rust for mobile development in no time at all. You need the usual tools (e.g. adb, llvm, clang), but once you got them you will have an android or ios app on the phone in a few minutes that has rust business logic.

Before this, I would not have bothered doing mobile dev using rust. While not hard, getting all the tools to work with each other is no fun at all. Nothing I would do for fun.

Tip: x doctor gives you a list of versions for all required tools. This will allow you to figure out if something is missing.
This.

I thought I was a great developer for the last 5 years. Turns out I'm trash, and that's OK. The real value I bring is being a mediocre developer with great interpersonal skills and great communication ability.

Soft skills are just as important as tech skills.

Also, make sure you excerscise and eat right. So much pain and suffering can be avoided by just spending a couple hundred dollars on a nutrition class in your teens, and going on an hour walk each day.
You can, though? If you're on Gnome, simply install Dolphin or Thunar and your file manager should change. You can revert it in Settings > Applications > Files by resetting the application handler for the application you just installed.

People seem to be confusing the file manager (nautilus) with the file picker (whatever an application chooses, often the GTK file picker) and the desktop (which can be, but isn't always, part of the file manager).
the problem is that said "new platform" is doomed to fail, just as every free speech twitter competitor before it (gab, parler, truth, etc). this is an idea thats been attempted numerous times but doesnt succeed because no one wants a platform where they can be harassed. so im not inclined to believe that the share price of twitter will fall once he makes a competitor, because if free speech was truly a differentiator (versus decentralization / federation e.g. mastodon), then these other networks would have actually seen continuous use, but at the end of the day everyone still uses twitter
