You could have said the same about JWST a hundred years ago. Many would have, and would have been as wrong.
Yes, that's an effect, just like capturing the photon and using it to build up an image is an effect. You're thinking along the wrong axis, though. The issue isn't "effect" vs "no effect". The issue is "then" vs "now".

The light that we see today left them 10 billion years ago. Any light that leaves them now[1] will never reach us. And any light emitted by us now will never reach them.

[1] Yes, I know, "now" is not really a useful concept when dealing with large velocities in Special Relativity. I don't think my overall point is destroyed by that, though. If you can find a more rigorous way to state what I am trying to say, please do.
Indeed. Consider the inverse situation: Imagine if Catholics who tithe were investigated, prosecuted, and convicted by the same standards. You’d have to imagine it because while many of us know about the child sexual assault scandals in the Catholic Church, those that tithe certainly should and usually do know. They’re generally understood to be paying money for the good parts of the Church and not the obviously illegal criminal conspiracies protected and promulgated by the Church. So while it’s probably illegal, it’s probably not directly wrong and certainly isn’t being treated as a serious criminal conspiracy normally would be.

Meanwhile for making a website for an illicit market that explicitly sought to reduce violence between people who would otherwise buy or sell their drugs in a situation classically prone to violence — big U received not one but two life sentences.

America has some extremely strange investigation, prosecution, sentencing, and incarceration priorities. One can reasonably call them absurd and unjust, but many Americans will simply tell you that he deserves what he gets. They don’t remark if the rest of us deserve it as well. We are all poorer for this kind of a railroading.
I'd love to hear what a more lean-in approach might look like. Using something like Krustlet[1] to write an Erlang-specific kubelet would be a more work-with way to approach k8s that'd still allow for a wide variety of deploymemt models, including things like this use of a universal container that gets live updated.

Wouldn’t work. Entire state budgets are accounted for by spreadsheets without formulas, emailed between people in an office with no revision control.

A few years ago when 50 million went missing, I wasn’t surprised. I’d seen the budgeting process, and it was worse than you could possibly imagine.

There was an attempt to go the software route, but a nepotism deal left the budgeting department with a worse system than manual spreadsheet entry.

Sometimes I feel that in modern distributed systems, we are very slowly and haphazardly recreating Erlang running on a IBM mainframe.

What if we could treat an entire datacenter as a unified whole, a la an IBM mainframe, and use an Erlang style actor system for cross-region communication/coordination?
This story is not necessarily related to fudging of numbers/stats etc but it does illustrate to what level schools will go to attract students:

- Small liberal arts school

- Is ranked Division 3 in the NCAA

- Realized they are losing students

- They start a football team!

- Why? For a layout of $500,000/year for a coach + staff, using existing facilities (e.g. soccer stadium) etc they get ~100 additional students who want to be able to say "yeah, I played football in college"

100 students * full boat tuition is nothing to sneeze at and is a pretty good deal from an ROI perspective. It's not a small leap from "let's drop some cash for a very obvious improvement to our attendance" to "let's fudge some numbers that no one may ever really look at" for the same outcome.

Assuming bad intent is often unproductive and hinders getting work done. 95 percent of the time there was no ill intent and just a mistake, misunderstanding, or misread tone. If you assume poor intent and let it change how you act it ends up causing the person to react in a (more) negative way.

Considering the difficulties most of these people face to get to their target countries, it's not too far fetched to think most are indeed hard working and ambitious.
I think the vast vast majority would continue to work hard. But leachers do exist, and given the opportunity, some will. The thing is the ones that are here illegally are already self selected as ones willing to work without social supports.

-----------

>Leechers exist among natives too. Any particular reason to believe that it’s worse with the immigrants?

No in fact I've stated the opposite. The incentive structure for immigrants self selects the illegal ones as ones willing to work without social support, because it isn't offered to them. The legal immigrants, unless sponsored by family/spouse, generally have high education or wealth requirements than our average populace thus they're less likely to use benefits.

In fact I think my country could look at the incentive structure that has made the illegal immigrant in my country so hard working, and think about how we can apply to making our own citizenry more independent and less dependent on public benefits.
I know right? Rich immigrants buy houses that they don’t even live in, disturb the local economy with their purchasing power but it’s the hard working ones who are a strain to the system.

I fully agree but I also think that those “Daves” had something that current recommendation engines do not: an understanding of the many subtle things that make a movie right for you at that moment.

It’s still going to be a while before a recommendation engine takes in to account the kind of day you’ve had, whether anyone else is going to join you, how you and your spouse are doing today, how you want to start the night, how you want to end the night, and so-on. A good staff member can answer all those questions just by looking you in the eyes.

>By the way, funny thing: in a podcast by Russian cinema critics on Western films about Russia, someone remarked that no matter how much effort the crew puts into researching details, something always gives away the fictional and foreign nature of the work. In ‘Chernobyl’, one such moment is when a woman goes against a committee of bureaucrats and tells them how wrong they are.

It all comes down to expecting that another society will obey one's own sensibilities.

George R. R. Martin has talked about how so many fantasy works based on medieval Europe have a scene in which the brave boy and spunky girl sassily talk back to the powerful lord. As Martin puts it, what really would have happened is that the boy would have been killed, and the girl would have been raped then killed.
If they didn't control for the ratio of lean body mass to fat, then it doesn't actually contradict my point.

If the findings don't discriminate on the source of the BMI, then you just don't know. It's not evidence.

> "They looked at participants’ body mass index (BMI)—an indicator of body fat calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared (kg/m2)."

BMI is the WORST indicator of body fat precisely because it does not account for muscle mass. BMI is only suitable for population level studies, it is not suitable for individual health decisions.

Put another way - if I go to the gym religiously, I could gain a few pounds but also lose a few percent of body fat. What will my medical tests show in general? Will my clothes fit better? Will I be able to climb stairs more easily? BMI shows none of that.

Yes, I would think Russia would be willing to fight for 10 years, because this is literally their backyard, not some far-off exotic country. Many Russians consider Ukraine to be practically their own territory, even more so than places like Chechnya.
When Netflix had the star system, I would get amazing recommendations. I would get a good feeling every time I opened Netflix because I was almost guaranteed a quality movie I would like. After Netflix moved onto thumbs up/down it was never the same and when Netflix started promoting their own shows, it got worse. I'm at the point where I hardly even watch it though I can't say the same for my kids.

Filling here meaning over the medium term. You can stuff your stomach with vegetables and briefly feel "full", but you won't feel "satisfied" for very long, and might even feel a bit of nausea as your digestive system works on all these vegetables without much in the way of calories.
With the threading model of most CL implementations, you really only need locking if you need to change two (or more) places and have the update appear atomic, or if you are doing a read/modify/write. But you would already need such infrastructure in place if you were going to modify them in you program as well.
You could absolutely implement a list using a set or a tree if you wanted. In the same way that we say that you would use generics to implement a list, you would be using monads to implement a list. It's really more of a design pattern.

No, it's got the same 10% nuclear 15% hydropower for grid power number I just quoted.

It even shows 2021 numbers as 2,735 nuclear, 1,813 Wind, and 1,023 solar. So counter to your previous point Wind + Solar > Nuclear. With Hydro at 4,206; Wind + hydro + solar > 2.5 times nuclear.

We are at the point where 1 year of solar PV growth (2020 to 2021 = 189 TWh) is more than the last 20 years of nuclear growth (2001 to 2021 = 163 TWh) and solar keeps accelerating.

"We will just use technology to bypass this bad law" is a very convenient position for a technology-focused group to take. It feels weirdly privileged to just say "ah we will abdicate ourselves from the problem by using ever more complicated technology" rather than working to improve the legislation to benefit everyone.
> What is the benefit of having multiple compilers for programming languages?

I'll give you one, or two, depending on what you'd like to count. At some point in the conceivable future we'll be able to compile some meaningful Rust code base with both compilers and measure; a.) how long it takes to compile and b.) the performance of the compiled code.

Obviously that will induce what it always has: incentive to improve.

SQL absolutely does have that problem. You have no way of enforcing or checking that an expression is supposed to be non-NULL; at best you get an error at runtime when you try to insert it into a given column, which is usually far too late.

Reminded me of the 1960s/1970s explosion of Caribbean english lit, and studies in the field which continued into the 80s. I spent some time in Leeds university library checking out collections of small-print-run poetry and language mags from the islands, to help a friend doing a thesis in the space. (Leeds uni library is fantastic, it has this, it has early chartist (pre-union labour movement in the UK) papers, it has a set of the 1960s NASA research documents ("how to do appendicitis surgery in space: a speculative study in microgravity effects")

The qualities in this which reminded me were the cultural overtones of "is this my tongue, is this my story" but also the exploratory navel-gazing of a culture in transition from vassal state, (albiet one with 10x the population of its nominal masters) to fully indendent. India got there first of course.

The whole article suffers from poor writing (on an objective scale) from start to finish.

Neither of those things actually good responses to the article, though: Good writing is hard, and the article demonstrates that well.
This is an extremely mind-boggling image, there is a lot going on here.

So first, one has to keep in mind that this is a composite with images from different wavelengths (exposure time 12.5h), so there could be some artefacts from processing.

Now to the fun part.

It is a deep field image i.e. a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground

The focus is on the galaxy cluster (SMACS 0723) approx. 4.7 billion light years away (incidentally, earth's very age)

The stars causing clear diffraction spikes[0] are way in the foreground ... but the "reddish fuzzy twirled objects" are lensed through the galaxy cluster itself revealing what is way way back (the "redder the farer") --- that's where the NIRCam of the JWST now gives us some really juicy details of galaxies 13 (!) billions light years away, only a couple 100.000 years after the Big Bang. Compare this to the faint Hubble image [1]!

For anyone irritated by the distortions: gravitational lensing can cause a lot of weird patterns e.g. a "Einstein Cross"[2]

The rust compiler rarely breaks backwards compatibility, so I'd be curious to see what issues you actually hit.

Perhaps you mean forwards compatibility, in which case yes perhaps that's an issue but I'm not sure why you'd want bigger, slower release cadence when it would likely make your problem worse , when libs update but updating your compiler potentially causes significant other changes as is the case with C++ for example

Funny (and costly) story. My friend Stacey and I started a magazine. Midway through working on the first issue, we realized that we didn’t know a thing about publishing. So, we recruited a third co-founder.

That magazine eventually failed but I was hooked. I started paying her to help me and when her life got too busy, I started paying other editors.

Once I worked with one, I knew exactly what I was looking for so it’s been easy finding editors since. Without that experience, it would have been a lot of trial and error. For example, I can write very quickly. Because of this, I write far better when I work with an editor who really tears my work apart. If an editor sugar coats too much, draft+1 often ends up worse. But if they’re direct and try to hurt my feelings, draft+1 will be closer.

Each of those points of light is a galaxy, we are looking at trillions and trillions of galaxies, across the entirety of the visible sky (this image is from an area equivalent to a grain of rice held at an arms length). It is terrifying to even fathom if we are alone or not.

Also, the Hubble Deep Field image took weeks. This took a mere 12.5 hours of exposure.
