I mean, Go clearly has goroutines as a “first class” concept for some value of “first class”, and (as they are a sort of thread) goroutines are concurrency. This is to say, I don’t think your claim about “must have async/await in order to have first class concurrency” is correct in any formal sense (maybe you’re defining “first class concurrency” as requiring async/await rather than asserting that this is what first-class concurrency means to programmers generally?). I agree though that goroutines have no representation in the type system, but that’s because they aren’t values, so one wouldn’t expect them to have a type or a type system representation. Yet they are very much part of the Go runtime and not a library or a syscall or similar.
@haneefmubarak Thx for the plug!

For everyone who might be interested, here is an extended preview of the book here: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSLA_v2_preview.... and you can also download the standalone LA concept map here: https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/linear_algebra_...

If you prefer video explanations, I've got some of those up on youtube that given an overview of the topics in the book, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G3PmEZI6n8&list=PLGmu4KtWiH...

I highly recommend getting a print copy because it will help you concentrate on the material and read deeply without distractions. I also have a free-PDF-if-with-purchase-of-print-copy policy, so if you send get the print version and send me an email I'll hook you up with the PDF for free (PDF good for reference and for searching).

Happy to take questions about anything related to the book. Post here or send email. Contacts in profile.
PCs have had significant form factor reductions though. From smaller form factors like mATX to straight up embedded SBCs like the NUC to even smaller lighter-power systems like the Raspberry Pi.

Mid-towers have survived for the same reason cars still leave some open space under the hood in their designs: There are incredibly important practical benefits in being able to easily work in a space.
It's quite common for people to put stickers over the logo in their MacBooks, I've done it on one of my work machines.
Then what are you going from Autopilot? How's foot hovering any more comfortable than lightly putting it down?
How is hands on wheel in a driving position more comfortable than occasionally turning the wheel?

Seems a tiny gain compared to the dangers of the system.
I dont want to dislike firefox, but I am starting to find new reasons to resent it. It seems like every other week there is something new I'm finding out about that gives me pause before running updates. Every new 'feature' brings me further and further away from feeling like it's a browser I can trust to be just a browser. Something has to change. Pocket, Allo, still taking the google allowance, absolutely squandering their endowments on salary, too much focus on social signaling and politics. Just be a browser, please.

I won't be going to anything chrome-like, but I do see myself spending a lot more time using and sponsoring qutebrowser, or simply passively consuming offline.
Yeah, read Basic Mathematics by Lang. Covers all precalculus you need in a rigorous way.
It’s not a skill if you can’t do it on command. I’m not sure why we need to lower the bar of success or dilute the skill so that more people can say they succeeded. This wouldn’t even be an argument if we were talking about someone standing on their feet.

It’s ok to not be good at everything.
Keith's house got broken into. I think that's fairly near the crime.
As someone who spent many years writing C, every time I go back to it, I wonder why people still write things in C.

(I'm exaggerating; of course I know why people still write things in C, but I would have a hard time justifying starting a new project in C these days.)
> the Model Y would brake for phantom obstacles. Such as: low rises in the road. Or: passing a 18-wheeler on the left.

Fwiw, I had similar phantom breaking experiences with my model y.

One of the recent updates fixed it such that phantom braking rarely happens (maybe once per 1000 miles driven or less now versus almost every time I passed an 18-wheeler on a two-lane highway before).
Do you know of any systems which allow for a background picture that it can be plotted on top of?

> Airing dirty laundry in public, and arm twisting management is not really a great strategy.

I'm decidedly split on this one. There are circumstances that warrant disclosure, even in spite of agreements to secrecy. I think everyone is better off for knowing about the Pentagon Papers or Snowden leaks, or the massive fraud pulled off by Bernie Madoff.
If you need a house, and you can reasonably afford one that you like at today's prices, and you can cope with potentially being "stuck" in it for several years, then buy a house.

It's impossible to know what will happen. Even after 2008, when it was obvious that the market had to fall because there were >1 million underwater homes that banks were sitting on with the fed letting them pretend they were still worth the old price, it was still impossible to know exactly where prices would end up or how long it would take.

Personally, I tend to think that prices will drift downward slightly, moreso in places that are seeing big outmigration, but it's hard to say. If we keep seeing 10% inflation, then prices staying flat is actually the same thing as housing getting cheaper.

Make good decisions based on the information you can have. You will always know more tomorrow.
They're pretty easy to get but not particularly generous on paper. Certainly if I was to lose my job and claim what I was legally entitled to, it would be of zero help because I'm in London and mostly wouldn't kick in until I was destitute.

However, if you have no (documented) savings or property, the sorts of things you will get are a free council house, weekly allowance and child benefits.

People will often then supplement it by claiming disability, having multiple people in the house claiming benefits, subletting free property and working illegally.

The cost of living in these sorts of areas tends to be very low too.

Clever use of private repo + issues. I wonder if you could give a screenshot of one of your "WIP" issues, to show what sorts of things you write down? What are some examples of "issues" that you currently have open?
Honestly, I think the problem here is the girl is crazy, not that she found her boyfriend using an airtag.
If you're a regular runner, you probably are pretty lean, way leaner than an average techie, and probably leaner than most people. 90kg can be 90kg at 15% fat, or 90kg at 20% fat, or 90kg at 30% fat. Those would be very different starting points.
Because the internal combustion engine is surprisingly efficient.

Did you know you release more CO2 walking a mile than driving a mile? It's surprising, but it takes a lot of energy to grow food, and then a lot of energy is lost by the time that food powers you.

Yes the CO2 from food is from the air, so not the same, but it's just an example of efficiency. Ignoring the source of CO2, a tractor emits less CO2 than a horse, for the same farm work.

You still need to heat your home, you still need to find fertilizer somewhere, you need fuel for cooking. You need to make clothing.

All those things take energy, and modern living uses less energy. The main difference from the past is there are more people now. And in the past a lot of that energy came from the sun, rather than being mined.

But back to resources (rather than just CO2): To live like a farmer you need wood, and you need more wood than can re-grow in the area available to you. Look at peat moss mines in Ireland - they mined so much, just for basic living, there's not much left.
I seem to remember piping into "python -mjson.tool". But that of course only does pretty-printing; you can't easily do any jsonpath-style transformations with that.
That’s an excellent recommendation, thank you.
In my old office pretty much everyone had a mechanical keyboard, so no one minded. One guy actually made it his mission to have the loudest one, but it didn't stand out from the back that much. The loudest typer was actually just a heavy handed guy using a cheap rubber dome board that came with the company computers.

I like being able to type while I'm on a call. I have Cherry MX Clears what o-rings, which people tell me they can't hear when I'm on the phone. So that's good.
One factor to consider is that as inflation erodes stock market prices, investors will exit equities in favor of real estate. These buyers can pay cash and therefore won't care about mortgage rates like homeowners do.
All I care about is if weird stdout messes with scripts at all and gives proper error codes out for consumption by scripts as well. A lot of these guidelines are doubly useful to not only human readability but machine readability.
let's say you have a set of apps for a given context tiled on your screen, a shell or two, debugger, ide, editor, webpages for documentation...

now you want to look at a different context with the same windowing complexity. You just switch to a different workspace and it's all laid out for you. Then you can go back.

How would you accomplish that without workspaces?
A lot of urbanists overlook the way online culture and modern logistics have brought so much of the "culture" (good ethnic cuisines and food trends) to the suburbs and even exurbs in weeks/months instead of the 10+ years trends used to take to travel.

Anyone who grew up in the burbs in the 70s-90s and goes back today can observe this.

Anecdata - I have a sibling who lives in fairly rural MAGA country outer exurbs and yet has both bubble tea & pho shops in driving distance.

Similarly "well everything is so far in the burbs".. ok well, I've lived nearly 20 years in NYC and my average commute has been about 40 minutes. All my friends live all over the 5 boroughs, most of which are a good 30-40 minutes by uber or subway. We mostly see each other weeknights after work in midtown/downtown since thats closer.

Remote or even 2-day in-office hybrid work makes the trade offs of being 30~60 miles outside the city much more attractive.

The city has many conveniences and also a ton of inconveniences, it doesn't take a lot to put the balance out of whack and make you question why you pay so much for it.
you know what...i am amazed that noone picks up that we have a planet scale network that could be exactly that (conscious)! The internet! we all send packets of information to various systems that then amplify thst data to other neurons... (us humans and our computers are the neurons in this situation)...

Correct, but where's all that trillion dollar commercial real estate going ?

Cities don't have much of a reason to exist, at least not in their current form, with WFH.

What's the point in that? You end up using the identical amount of resources, but having fewer people. What goal exactly did you accomplish?
Does it distinguish between the types of road driven on? It's a very important distinction because where people sensible people choose to activate the system is probably on long journeys where crashes are already rare.
San Francisco city planners made an idiotic decision about 50 years ago to push housing out of downtown, replace it with office buildings, and build gigantic freeways to bring people in from their new suburban homes. Now the chickens are coming home to roost. Many, many people fought hard against this stupid decision at the time, and city planners should have listened. Hopefully, somebody learns a lesson here, and we don’t have to repeat this same cycle another 50 years from now.

Would voting against Prop 13 result in you having to sell your home/condo? I've wondered this myself and if I'm perfectly honest... I'm not so sure.

Voting against my self interest when all it does is affect my bank balance? No problem. But if it forces my kid to change neighborhoods (and therefore schools) while giving up a home I plan to retire in... that's harder.

Yeah that shit rocketed up in price fast. My dad was trying to get some spare components for his system (can't remember if it was the ISY or the PLM[1]). He ended up bailing out of the bidding at $700. Not sure if he managed to luck out on a cheaper one since then.

Definitely good that he refuses to use any cloud-centric home automation, so nothing was directly affected by Insteon's sudden shutdown. But still he was rightfully worried that pieces of the system would need replacing over time. He's already had to fix a few switches by replacing bad caps, but not every problem is so easily serviced

Public healthcare is rarely someone's only interest.
Even if you have, it still doesn't notify you. You have to open the app manually whenever you want to check for them.
This ^ with the caveat that we’re already seeing prices soften in some markets and sellers making price cuts. The peak was likely within the last 45-60 days. Also consider inflation continues to run hot (~8%), which will force the Fed to raise rates faster (50bps->75bps), and per the Taylor rule, I would expect to see mortgage rates between 8-10% within the next year (depressing asset prices; people buy a payment). If the Fed has to pull a Volcker (~10-20%) to quell inflation, RE prices are in for some pain.

"The housing market has peaked…everything points to a rolling over of the housing market," Zandi says. "In terms of home sales, they're falling sharply. Housing demand is coming down fast. Home price growth [will] go flat here pretty quickly; we will see [home] price declines in a significant number of markets." —- Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi

"In short, the party is over," Pantheon Macro chief economist Ian Shepherdson said in emailed comments after the report, pointing out the collapse in sales follows a "steep downward trend in mortgage applications" as mortgage rates start to rise on the heels of the Federal Reserve interest rate hikes that started in March.

There's no _actual_ mental health help in this system. We just have prisons and quasi-prisons that drug their inmates and bill their insurance. Short of that, the healthiest thing we can do for people is to connect them with support, only move them from situations they want to be removed from, and otherwise let them continue to live their current lives.
The reason it’s pushed down to make is the OS scheduler doesn’t know what gcc is.

make, of course, doesn’t know what gcc is either but at least it has a better chance of learning.

(The OS does know what resources current processes are using, but that doesn’t help because it doesn’t know what any future process will do. Designs like GCD solve this with priority levels, but that doesn’t help because all your make tasks are the same high priority.)

Obviously not a new category of problem, but what sort of ballpark figure could we put on the number of inattentive drivers created by tesla? As a percentage of sales?
It's tension created from the shoulder muscles, upper back, and pecs. Think about when you're doing a sit up: your hip muscles, lower back, and core help you sit up and slow going back down. It's these same muscles that keep you balanced when you're sitting and standing because managing balance where your center of mass acts upon gravity requires less work than at the extremities.

The same principle applies to a handstand, but it is instead your shoulders, pecs, and upper back. I was being a bit broad when I said shoulders, sorry.
What asset classes do you think they will move into as they exit RE? Why not just de-leverage a bit and stay in RE, which is more inflation-proof than many other investments?
I don't know. This question gets asked a lot. It depends on personal financial situation and other factors.
I’m not inclined to do the legwork to prove it, but I’d be shocked if there weren’t stories exactly like this in the first couple years after Find Friends rolled out.

It was certainly a concern that people had, and modern news is kinda built to validate concern whenever it can.

How often would you do this test? How many types of illnesses would you test for? Would you test weekly? Daily? Hourly? Would you lock your bedroom door and test every time you left it. Don’t even get me started on much resources would be required for the world to continuously test this way. Maybe someone ends up making a smart watch that continuously samples every few minutes? Where’s the threshold for sensibility?

And for what? Covid is no longer the covid of 2019. It’s not the same threat.

This isn’t about theoreticals, this is about getting back to normal. Which is not testing for relatively harmless things like covid (now we have vaccines and other meds being developed to help with the symptoms), cold, flu, etc, especially when vaccines exist. Just use your common sense.
So we've already had the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe (BBP) formula for computing an arbitrary digit of pi in base 16, which by itself is mind blowing, but I just found out that Plouffe has come up with a new version for base 10.

The federal government needs to decide if homes are an investment or the cornerstone of the American Dream - a personal shelter one owns and cares for, a foothold to grow a family, career, and wealth.

Housing can't be both.

Policies on taxation, lending, and subsidy can be used to push the balance one way or the other.

I'd place my bets on housing prices continuing to trend up and to the left, but (as a homeowner myself) I'd be pleasantly surprised if they didn't.
