As an answer to the question of why Americans are better than Russians, saying that neither Russians nor Americans are equally bad at restraining their country's aggression isn't good.

You could get closer to an answer by counting the corpses.

Why doesn't Apple care about software quality?

12.3 broke copying large files (200mb+) from the finder to network shares (files get corrupted, bad data). Copy from terminal with cp, no issue.

12.3 broke airplay

iOS 15.3 broke WebGL, tons of sites that rely on it are effed, (can't ask users to use a different browser on iOS)

All 3 issues, 6 weeks+ still unfixed.

etc....

PS: not saying that MS does better but "It just works" Apple is never actually true
If they are right that this study only proves that a small reduction in salt intake around the recommended daily level doesn't have a dramatic effect (>20%) on heart attacks, then is this really a useful study? Is it truly worth the money and time spent on collecting all this data, reviewing it etc? Will people keep referring back to it and citing it 5 years from now?
I wonder how many old games took advantage of these effects in a way that’s difficult to understand or replicate with modern technology.

I see this like a DJ scratching a record, simulating the scratching digitally just isn’t the same, making some of the performance (the records available, technology to play them) part of the era in which they came out.
(I don't want this to come across as overly negative but it might. That's not my intention.)

There are many reasons why quitting your day job and growing a presence that will get you sponsorships is worthwhile, and I am a strong advocate for paying open source devs who maintain the packages you use. However, if you're thinking of trying to copy Caleb's success, remember that it'll take 28 years before he'll have earned more than he would have if he'd kept his $90k/year job.

Arguably a talented dev will never earn more than if they'd had a job instead. Open source is a route to working on something you love, but you will be leaving money on the table to do it unless the landscape changes a lot.

There is still a ton of change necessary in the open source model before it becomes a viable 'job' for most people.
> The concept of a scalar is familiar, as is the concept of a vector.

> Using the terms "scalar with a direction" to describe a vector makes no sense if you come from that starting point.

Now I'm confused: what is a vector, if not a "scalar with a direction" (or indeed "an oriented scalar value", as the parent quoted)?

> Both scalar and vector, in this context, are data types. Describing a data types as a data type of a data type is meaningless and does not compute.

I disagree; "scalar value" is an interface, supporting addition, multiplication, negation, etc. (e.g. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.16.1.0/docs/Prelu... https://smlfamily.github.io/Basis/real.html ). Many data structures can implement this interface (Float, Double, Rational, Fixed, Nat, Int, etc.).

Likewise, "vector" is an interface, supporting vector addition, scalar multiplication, and (crucially in this context) inner, wedge and geometric products. Many data structures can implement this interface (e.g. a tuple of scalars, as coefficient of a fixed orthonormal basis; a scalar length paired with angular spreads projected in fixed perpendicular planes; etc.)
Promises are flat, so if a async function or promise callback returns a promise the result is just a promise, not promise<promise>.

Using async for functions that do not use await is still a good idea because thrown errors are converted to rejected promises.

`return await` can be useful because it's a signal that the value is async, causes the current function to be included in the async stack trace, and completes local try/catch/finally blocks when the promise resolves
there is a MASSIVE psychological/cultural difference between "well everyone pretty much silently agrees x" and "x is the stated rule." Why not let Thursdays become the new day that people slack off and leave early? Not trying to attack you or anything but why would you undermine an initiative to enforce a better work-life balance? Your response seems pretty complacent/apathetic, which seems irresponsible to me when so many stand to benefit from this change.
Wow. I always knew AMP was scammy but I didn't realize they actually forced a 1 second delay on other pages. How enraging. "Don't be evil" is so long lost I can barely remember those days.
The 99 year lease is kinda functionally equivalent to a 1% a year property tax, and somewhat more honest.

If I could deed my land to the local government a hundred years from now in exchange for 0% property tax, I'd very likely do it (but the government would probably be sad because they need the cash flow now not later).
Worth noting the trajectory of that chart though, if he keeps up the momentum he could double his revenue from sponsors this year.

Edit:

Just noticed that it's a post from 2020, he now has 823 sponsors vs 535 then. So assuming the same average sponsorship that takes him to $173k/year.
The trend in the last couple years has been the reverse of that, but it'll be interesting to see if that continues now that the most of the pandemic restrictions are over.

Excuse me sir but you definitely sound like a fan.

>> The Free Software Foundation [...] asserts that an executable that uses a dynamically linked library is indeed a derived work.

Which if you think about it is really a very problematic assertion, for a couple of reasons.

First, it doesn't seem to be related at all the the definition of "derived work" in the Copyright Act (in the US) or the examples given for other kinds of derived works, which all involve incorporating creative elements from the original work into the derived work. These elements might be translated or rearranged or otherwise transformed, but they're still necessary for the work to count as derivative. Linking against a dynamic library has more in common with referencing another work in your bibliography—which so far as I am aware has never been considered enough on its own to consider the referencing document a derivative work.

But more importantly: The FSF also maintains that a clean-room, from-scratch open-source reimplementation of a proprietary library with a compatible ABI is not a derived work of the proprietary library. (For example Lesstif vs. Motif, or Wine vs. Windows.) A program which is dynamically linked against some library is only dependent on the library's ABI, not the specific implementation of the library, and can be used at runtime with either version. So is it a "derivative work" of the original proprietary library, or the open-source reimplementation? And of course the same logic could be applied the other way around for a program which can be (but need not be) dynamically linked against a GPL library—it could just as easily be linked against a proprietary reimplementation of the same library with a compatible ABI. And why should it make any difference for the purpose of declaring something a "derivative work" whether the reimplementation under a compatible license already exists, or merely could exist? The part which is asserted to be "derivative" hasn't changed at all.

I am not (a / your) lawyer, yada yada, but the "dynamic linking implies derivative work" argument has always struck me as being at odds with both the plain meaning of "derivative work" and actual practice when the situation is reversed.
Huh, I had never heard of Doom Emacs until just now. I wonder how it compares to something like Spacemacs...I guess i have something to do tonight.
You maybe should check who owns Yandex, before you bring up this "whatabout"
I have all these same feelings about dev "testing" in interviews. Why does no one ask to go through an existing project that a person coded? I think someone's own explanation of software that person wrote -- including the good, the bad, and the ugly, is a much better demonstration of all kinds of coding skills (architecture, interfaces, documentation) than just live coding something or even a contrived take home test. Doing real work for a company without knowing their system is another artifice that doesn't really show you what someone can do when they know a system.

There is blind bidding in the job market. It's the companies that blind bid for you. What's wrong with that?
The easiest way? Ask them. Many places will give feedback if you ask for it.

The next best way is to reflect upon what you felt went well and what didn't. I usually have a good idea which questions I didn't give adequate answers to, and my instincts have usually lined up pretty well with the feedback that recruiters give.

I think there have been several really, and they tend to follow hype periods, which over-promise.

I do think the last few years have been more productive than previous periods in advancing narrow AI, and to be fair to those researchers who just get on with the work, it is not on them if the advances are over-sold by others.
The open-source (also high-profile) nature of the project probably helps Google themselves keep their own team in check with outside accountability.
I fully agree with your take. I think JS-directed computation is very good towards short-term adoption (since running JS on the Edge is probably the most popular use case), but eventually the needs to run other programming languages at the Edge will likely eclipse the JS use case.

At Wasmer [1] we have been working actively towards this future. Lately more companies have been also doing awesome work on these fronts: Lunatic, Suborbital, Cosmonic (WasmCloud) and Fermyon (Spin). However, each of us with a different take/vision on how to approach the future of Computation at the Edge. I'm very excited about to see what each approach will bring into the table.

Yeah I'm surprised this post doesn't have more upvotes. A rare positive story in the open source world, where the author is able to generate enough revenue to compensate for quitting their full-time job and work on their open source project full-time! Plus he has fully laid out the template for how he did it and other open-source maintainers can do it too. This isn't one of those "get rich quick" stories / ads you see on Youtube, it's actually a fully self-sustaining model for open source that the author has lived out.
I used to use a palm III for "redboxing" payphones back in the day in a country which didn't use multifrequency tones to signal a coin drop. Was pretty much the most fun I had with the thing, it had a BASIC interpreter you could download so writing little programs that could do stuff like that wasn't actually hard at all
A Tulane student got a bunch of funding because he developed a stand-in for folks for zoom meetings. Logs in, records, transcribes, the works. He developed it so he wouldn’t have to attend lectures during Covid. What you’re describing reminds me of this project.

It’s also called “Buelr,” which really captures the energy of what you’re talking about.

> They slowed the non-AMP ads because they didn't want loading them to interfere with the content the user was interested in reading.

This is what Google may have told the public, and obviously would like you to believe. However, internal Google emails demonstrate very differently: AMP was designed to increase Google's ad revenue.

Same source:

"Google ad server employees met with AMP employees to strategize about using AMP to impede header bidding, and how much pressure publishers and advertisers would tolerate."
Today I just got hired to work on an open source company.
I could not be happier, I may not be rich but I can work at something I love in public, with great team mates, and in an async-remote first company with little to no office politics or mandatory all hands meetings.

It would be 100x times harder for me to get paid via small sponsorships like this.

There's hundreds of YC companies building open source, look for them, apply to the ones you like. Enjoy.

I guess he's referring to the fact that the glut of investment around 2017-2018 was followed by disappointment due to startups overpromising. I agree that from the technical side (I mostly follow NLP, might be different in other subfields) there's been no hint of a winter.
> If I had to completely armchair it here, if you looked at total impact to society, the environment, car accidents, you name it something like a gallon of gas in the US should really be about $20-$30/gallon but it feels like it's expensive at $5 b/c we're so used to the low prices

Price per gallon is probably the wrong unit. You probably want $/mile. Car accidents get priced in via insurance. Environment isn't priced in at all in the US, though a carbon tax could change that if there was any political appetite for it. EVs already significantly reduce fuel and maintenance costs even though ICE cars enjoy a "carbon subsidy" (i.e., pollution isn't priced into the cost of gas).

> people are going to focus on kWh being expensive because they're used to extremely cheap gasoline

Electricity is already much less expensive than gasoline. The current US-average gas price is $4.10/gallon and a 30mpg car will cost over $0.13/mile. The current US-average electricity price is $0.14/kwh--with ballpark 85% charge efficiency (not all energy drawn from the grid makes it into the battery) and 300wh/mile, an EV will cost less than $0.05/mile. EV fuel costs are just over a third of those of ICE vehicles.
Think of finding a record amongst many as e.g. a binary search. It doesn't take 10 times as many tries to find a thing(row/record) amongst 100 as it does amonst 1000.

Salt was expensive.. but in the quantities we shake onto our food today, the price was pretty much negligible. Salt was considered expensive because they used a lot of salt when preserving food.

For reference, US Army regulations during the American Civil War called for soldiers to be given 3 pounds 12 ounces (1.7 kg) of salt every 100 days. Sprinkling a little bit of that onto a meal would not exactly have been opulent. Of course, those ration regulations were aspirational and soldiers were lucky to get what they were owed, but it gives an idea of how much salt people considered reasonable.
I didn't need many cores; but I needed the PCIe lanes. 1900X was perfect for that. I don't follow, how did you figure that my application doesn't use all of its PCIe lanes?

Another thing was, that since there were less cores and the thermal capacity was the same as the bigger siblings, the cores were clocked slightly higher (3.8 GHz base frequency).

Eventually, I got one of last 2920X for a good price. I got more, but slower cores and it still works in the X399 board I used with 1900X.

Ultimately, you can build your own transport, but I recommend starting with TCP.

Try using TCP, but turn off delayed ACKs. That stupid fixed timer from the Telnet echo era is still in there.
Coming to this discussion late, but at my last job they had to ban employees from using Macbooks outside of the office because they were too fragile compared to their (heavier but) sturdier PC counterparts running Windows or Linux.

The Macbooks generally spent more time being shipped to and from Apple warranty centers for repairs then they did being used for work.

Maybe we were just unlucky, but it says something when more than 4 dozen Macbooks were utter pieces of crap.
I disagree. It depends how many bits you want to encode in what period of time. If you only need 1 bit per second, then it can still be inaudible and not susceptible to _current_ lossy psychoacoustic compression models. Universal was both dumb and greedy (and hopeful?) so they got caught making their music into crap.

However, encoding a series of highly discernable tones into the audio is just dumb. Instead they should use phase modulation at low frequencies. Current compression models don't play with subtle changes of meter much, because they mostly use local encoding and there's not much room for improved compression with (non-audible) modulation. Of course, if Universal wanted to be able to accurately detect 5 second clips (rather than 2 minute songs) this would be a lot more difficult... and of course they want every thing, at the expense of listener experience.
Totally agree.

"Anti-censorship" is definitely a dog whistle call out to the right wing: "Feel free to lie and spread dangerous misinformation on our platform."

You are thinking about blatant watermarks on stock imagery and the like. Movies at the theater[1] and streaming videos[2] absolutely contain subtle visible watermarks even though you are paying to see them, which is directly analogous to having audible watermarks on Spotify. In the case of movie theaters we are somewhat desensitized to them, as old projection technologies used similar flashing dots for other reasons, like a cue to the projectionist to get the next reel ready[3].

I just checked and without giving too much info I’ll round, but there’s 20 repos with 10K commits of pure Nix repos, 3k issues across them, and 30k references to the word nix lol. Random check and none of the files are generated in these repos - it’s all reasoned code judging from commits. These are then used across all projects which includes additional nix stuff.

Going for the entire org and these numbers increase drastically but could include auto generated nix code.
The decreased density of sprawl causes the maintenance of infrastructure such as roads, electricity and water to often need to be essentially subsidized by higher density areas. For example, in suburbs with culs-de-sac, taxpayers fund the streets (in perpetuity as they must be maintained) but the vast majority get no utility from them. To your example of a truck doing deliveries, if it did those same deliveries in a more dense area it would obviously travel a smaller distance. IMO sprawl also makes life more difficult and more dangerous for those without cars.
If you're going to make up numbers, why not make up a majority? Be more ambitious.

I agree that it is better than most studies, and that is part of the problem.

The title as presented here is Lowering sodium intake doesn’t help heart patients.

The impression that people will walk away from that title with is, "If you have heart problems, there is no need to eat a low sodium diet."

This is not a hypothetical interpretation. I first saw this study at https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1510292643292491779, and that is exactly the impression that a well-known cardiologist drew. Many others came to the same conclusion.

Now what should we expect?

Their intervention reduced sodium consumption by 415 mg of sodium per day. (According to the least accurate method of measurement - self-reporting. The actual reduction was probably smaller.) If all else was equal, the correlation found at https://www.cdc.gov/salt/research_reviews/sodium_potassium_b... we should expect that to reduce systolic blood pressure by 1.9 mmHg. However not all else is equal, these are all patients receiving medical care. If your blood pressure is too high, you receive more medication. So all else is not equal, and we should expect blood pressure to be approximately equal between the groups, and medication not.

Therefore, to a first approximation, we should expect small differences in blood pressure, larger differences in required medication, and little difference in adverse events.

They designed a study that did not report on average blood pressure between the groups, or what levels of medication were required, and would only notice a large difference in adverse events. And so they failed to find a result that they should not have expected to see, failed to look for the result that they should have expected, and it wound up being reported in a way that undermines public health messaging around sodium reduction.

You may consider this quality scientific research. I don't.
It's difficult to make a blanket statement like this.

I've built some very high throughput Postgres backed systems in my years, and doing application side foreign key constraints (FKC) does have its benefits. Doing this client side will result in constraints that are usually, but not always in sync with data. However, this kind of almost-consistency lets you do much higher throughput queries. An FKC is a read on every write, for example, and does limit write throughput. Of course, this isn't ok for some workloads, and you do proper FKC in the DB, but if you don't need absolute consistency, you can make writes far cheaper.
I agree that inviting representatives of right-wing groups to a meeting with Zelensky on veterans affairs is a political mistake.

That does not negate the fact that these right-wing organizations, including "Right Sector" had negligible popular support and won exactly 0 seats in Verhovna Rada.
