What creates risk are wet markets selling live wild-caught animals in unsanitary conditions. These are breeding grounds for diseases to develop in animal populations and especially to have lots of opportunities to develop the abilities to jump species.

Animals in the wild in China are of no greater risk than animals in the wild anywhere else in the world. Confinement, sanitation, and density is what creates risk, not national borders for animals in the wild.
This matches the tweet I saw from a stripper that said she is a leading indicator and yes we are in a recession.
In practice, the law would protect them if they were the owners of the exchange. But here the "exchange" is just a public piece of code that all participants agree to interact with. I can't even begin to imagine the legal hoops they would have to go through to run a centralized regulated exchange.
This point always comes up, and it typically shows a lack of knowledge about what you can do with a smart contract. E.g. with a smart contract, you can implement an option on anything and sell the option to a counter party with very little work. How would you do that without a blockchain? One way would be to sell an option on a listed security through your brokerage, but the blockchain democratizes this ability and makes it so anyone can do it for a different set of assets then would otherwise be possible.

Like why have digital banking infrastructure at all? What new thing was enabled by digital banking infra? The answer is that nothing new was enabled, but the tech made banking operations faster and more accessible to more people. The same thing applies to blockchain tech.
I mostly agree, though I think there are differences you'd notice rather quickly (but nothing as big as moving from 1890 to 1950)

If you removed all the screens you'd probably first notice what's missing as opposed to what's different. In many of today's homes you wouldn't see things like tape / record players, stereos, VCRs, telephones, books, maps, yellow pages, rolodexes, calendars - all of these having a digital replacement.

And depending on the affluence of the home you'd notice a lot more variety of specialty things - for example kitchen equipment (espresso machines, burr coffee grinders, instant pots, sous vide machines, mini blow torches, automatic ice cream makers). There are thousands of available board games now compared to the 80s - and it is super easy to have specialty hobby items as they're cheap and readily available. If you went to the grocery store you'd see a far greater variety of vegetables, prepared foods, cheeses, meats, "exotic" ingredients etc.

I think the big differences are around convenience, variety, and availability - and for whatever reason they don't feel quite as big, even though the work that goes into making that possible is astoundingly large and complex.
I give them some credit. Rather than hire you and have to unceremoniously lay you off six months from now, they're being proactive, upfront, and honest. Kudos to their hiring manager.

Keep at it. Recruiters on LinkedIn are still foaming at the mouth.
Nope, I have this phone and it's quite bulky (about 3 Note8's worth of thickness) and requires two hands to open.
Interesting that the site uses ipinfo.io, an analytics service that brags about, among other things "Detect[ing] various methods used to mask a user's true IP address, including VPN detection, proxy detection and more." They appear to even offer a service designed to detect "privacy" users using tor and such.

I'm really curious why the site needs such invasive analytics. It's not by accident - it costs a minimum $1200/year.
Currently you can scale down to 1 in total, rather than down to 1 per region. But yep, scaling down to 0 will be even better.
The perils of “training” on a live system
"was this not vetted by researchers [...] ?"

It doesn't sound that way: The technique for overcoming these safeguards is surprisingly simple. The key is the ability to brute-force the PIN that encrypts the data. Since it’s only four digits long, there are only 10,000 possible combinations.
Yes, technically you can do that but it makes no sense from a design point of view to have a language that cares so much about safety it adds a borrowing system but then says "fuck it" to type safety.

You have to have type safety to have memory safety and that was the whole point of Rust.
The Fed is going to raise rates until something breaks, and a recession or "hard landing" is just the likely cost to be paid. It's a healthy part of the business cycle, and closer to an intentional policy outcome than something that is just happening out of nowhere. The excesses of the past decade are exemplified by the tech industry and it will likely be disproportionately impacted.

It really depends on the purpose of learning the language. If it's the first one, I would assume a general lack of broader perspective. As I remember how clueless I was - PHP, Ruby, Python, etc. didn't mean too much to me except having some cool logos and different syntax, from which, well, it was also hard to tell anything because I didn't know all these building blocks.

If the main purpose is to find a job, then I would check if there are local Elixir communities/companies nearby that could guide along the way. Elixir is a niche compared to other options out there, so I would recommend doing this ONLY knowing that there would be a strong support available on the way, from start to finish (landing an entry-level job).

On the other hand, if the main driver is curiosity to get into programming and that person feels drawn towards Elixir the most, I would say "just do it". The sheer will to tinker and build cool stuff that works can inflict a very positive feedback loop, which IMO is one of the strongest drivers to bettering oneself at coding. Even if that attempt turns out to be a failure, it's better to fail fast and give something else a try. I believe that in such case, the time spent on tinkering with Elixir will pay off anyway!

They're wrong, I can do T9 typing with the numbers just fine on mine, and switch to a touchscreen keyboard if I want to also. Just wish it was faster to switch between them.
Just starting with C and adding a borrow checker would have had some value (and there are some linters that doggedly try to do this). I agree I’d much rather have Rust, though.
I've heard of facilities with short crop cycles (greens, herbs, etc.) running totally bug-free with zero pesticides, with air showers at the entrance and careful segregation so that one introduction doesn't ruin their whole crop, etc. I don't think that's common, though.

There's usually bugs. It's common to deliberately introduce predatory insects, which control the pests in the same way as in nature, with the additional benefit that they can't fly away if the pest population gets too low. Chemical pesticides are also widely used, both organic and non-organic.

Hydroponic crops are especially vulnerable to sucking pests (aphids, whiteflies, etc.), because of the large amounts of tender new growth. Without controls or natural predators, their population can just explode, much worse than anything you'd get outdoors.

How about money?

In 1960, you either had to have cash or find a place that took a check to make purchases. Maybe some places took a credit card. Ever have to wait in line behind someone that is writing a check? "Productive" won't come to mind.

To get that cash you had to walk into a bank during banking hours. Then we got ATMs and could get our money any time of day. No more cutting out of work to deposit that royalty check.

More places started taking cards as well as cash. I distinctly remember asking businesses if they took cards _before_ making a purchase. We still had holdouts like restaurants that didn't split the check.

Now look at 2010. Pay with cash/check/card. Wait a few more years and you can do this with your phone. Get your meal tab split however you like. Owe someone money? No more writing checks, going to the ATM, just hit up Venmo.

Now, what's the productivity measure in that? I have no idea.
I appreciated this article more than I would've assumed. They are right, we tend to focus too much on failures and problems and forget about honoring success.
This is cool, but why not using rigorous statistics?

Block maxima (e.g daily max temperature) follow a generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution.

One can try to see whether this distribution is stationary or not.

Things can get much fancier by e.g. modeling correlations across cities but the above is pretty basic.

I think it's a complete dead zone. It's a small niche between CPUS and ASIC and companies like Google, Tesla, Amazon have reached the scale where they can hop straight to ASIC for any real volume. Their economics are different - they're thinking about total cost of ownership which sucks for high static power FPGAs. The only hope is some powerful low-barrier to entry programming model, but that's a long-shot.

Sure, there'll be some revenue from prototypes, from standards settling, but really it's not a sustained volume, it's cyclical.

Hmm, I suppose either the house style mandates what I would consider extremely poor writing (I won’t belabour the reasons), or the house style mandates some broadly formal style and the challenge is to write well within it. If the former, I suppose you should take my comments as applying to the house style and not your own writing ability; if the latter, I’d more or less reiterate what I said, and I doubt any non-insane style guide would, say, forbid you to use plain Anglo-Saxon words, vary your sentence length, write grammatically, etc.

In either case I admit I find it very bewildering to reconcile your well written comment with the solecisms and illiteracies that post was littered with*, or to make sense of your coming here to read and grow upset at criticism of a post which – given your now-evident possession of a brain stem – you must surely have known was atrociously written.

Thanks for your civil response, and for your taking my comment in the same spirit. It wasn't meant as a personal attack, no. It was meant to be an impersonal attack: all I knew of you was that piece of writing, and that was all I wanted to consider. Hopefully** my comment contributes to better instructing whoever and/or whatever was or were responsible for that lobotomised dross!

**Yeah, yeah, ok
It's not the parentheses or the Polish notation that matter. Those are covered in the first chapter of any Lisp/Scheme book and they are trivial, especially with a proper editor that understands structure and will indent unambiguously accordingly. Unless you're stuck on simple editors like Notepad or Nano, there's no issue here.

What's more challenging in Scheme, as Abelson and Sussman teach it, is the use of recursion instead of looping and in particular understanding that recursion is only equivalent to looping when the recursion is in "tail position", i.e. when there is nothing left for the calling function to do except return to its own caller.

Common Lisp style tends to use looping, not recursion.

Let's say I'm one of the few worldwide experts on X. Some random person on the internet wants to ask some questions about X. Sure, I've got time for them.

100 people on the internet want to ask me questions about X? No, I don't have time for that. (Yes, a few experts do. Emphasis on few.)

1000 people on the internet want to ask me about W and Y, which are kind of close to X, and about V and Z, which are farther afield, and want to rant to me about Brazilian jiu jitsu, and Yemeni politics, and time cubes, and how everything is Henry Kissinger's fault? I'm out. I'm changing my email and only giving the new one to people I trust.

At that point, if you want to ask me about X, you need to be one of the people that I've built up trust with over the years, to the point that I'll trust you not to abuse my email address.

So the problem becomes: How do we put (at least some) honest, interested seekers in connection with a few bandwidth-limited experts, without opening the floodgates?
One fact from this saga to boggle the mind: a big reason that the international treaties on ozone-harmful chemicals succeeded was because Ronald Reagan, president at the time, had skin cancer removed from his nose right around the time that studies on ozone layer depletion were coming out.

The issue was low priority for him and his administration, but the fact that he had personally suffered from the effects of excessive UV made it personal for him, and so he eventually pushed for action.

C programmers tend to reach for the preprocessor in cases where other tools would have been more appropriate. In particular, #ifdef. If you haven't experienced this then maybe you've worked with people that have uncommonly good taste.

I agree there's nothing particularly terrible about the preprocessor as such, if used tastefully. Especially if you compare it to other macro engines like maybe TeX, CPP strikes me as quite simple and clean.

Even newer languages like Haskell choose to adopt it after all.

We do you need to seek permission by default to save, spend and transact over the internet? Do we need permission to send TCP packets? To send an email?

Do they literally do the whole hiring process, or do take use a central hiring department to help them. It sounds really inefficient to have every team duplicate hiring personnel? Though of course you need the team to be in control of the process.

Do the teams organise any other company wide functions in that way? Hardware procurement, maybe?

Not to mention:

Ugly (but very bright and power efficient, and cooler) LED lighting. Bright blue power LEDs on everything. Less fluorescent, minimal incandescent lighting.

Everyone is working at home.

Few books, no newspapers or print magazines, no typewriters, maybe even no wired telephone.

The post office only delivers packages and "junk mail."

No "long distance" phone charges.

No ash trays.

New/improved appliances: air fryers, instant pot/automated pressure/multifunction cookers, high-efficiency washing machines, etc.. Fewer toaster ovens and gas ranges or ovens.

Mandatory smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms.

Lower power usage for most appliances.

No bottle returns. Much more "recycling" and industrial compost.

No large stereo systems, AM/FM radio, cassette players, or boom boxes. Fewer (and poorer quality) record players.

Home delivery of everything via amazon, grocery delivery, restaurant food delivery, etc.. UPS, FedEx and Amazon deliver many more packages than the USPS.

Fewer people actually own their houses.

Student loan debt. More monthly bills in general.

Observe this image of ANSI vs ISO layouts: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F...

Let's say I have an ANSI keybord, and I buy a set of ISO keycaps?

First of all, the enter and shift keys are not going to fit, so let's reuse the keycaps from the ANSI ones. Now we do put in all the keys and... my #/~ key is left over. There is no switch on the keyboard to mount the keycap to. ANSI keyboards do not have the same amount of keys.

Not to mention my \| is not in the right place - the ANSI shift key covers it's proper location, so guess I'm putting an undersized keycap on the top of enter. No amount of rebinding is going to let me have the left half of left shift do one thing and the right half do another.

These ANSI/ISO keycap packs you're thinking of are not indicating they will let you convert one keyboard to another. They just mean they include both shapes of enter keys, both sizes of left shift and \|, and a #~ key which doesn't exist for ANSI keyboards.

I have to take some issue with your community appraisal. The Elixir community is certainly smaller than some but they do exist, the community is pretty active, and are very welcoming of newcomers with beginner level questions usually answered with good timeliness. My sense is that this has been improving over time. As a beginner with Elixir, this has been my experience.

Anyway, my take is that the strength of the community is perhaps greater than you've given credit for.
