Exactly. Especially those who want to dabble with lisp by playing with familiar problems and applications. I find it much more instructive to play with linear regression code in a new language than with, say, a game development engine, because I have a pretty good idea about the strengths and quirks of `lm` in R.
They seem to draw a line between their licenses and CC0, which they regard more as a "public domain dedication tool".
Truth is, you usually can't really throw something in the public domain even if you want to : CC0 is supposed to be a way to get as close as possible.
Being in the public domain means your work doesn't need a license, because there is no right to license. They seem to get rid of that word for that reason (it's still a license though obviously).

That’s an extreme case, yeah.

I think at that point you’re disincentivising capital works too strongly, since there’s a higher risk you’ll lose the property via default on taxes, but it’s not clear to me that the same effect would exist even at a 20% rate.

I wasn’t just talking about the stimulus checks. 2 trillion is the entirety of extra money spent by the federal government on individuals over the course of the various pandemic bills. (There was another 2.5-3 trillion of spending, but that was spent on other interest groups such as businesses and medical providers)

You’re right that the maximum amount of money an individual could have received from the government is quite high. But for every household that received more than the 13k I stated above, other households received proportionally less. (Which is to say while undoubtably some people lived the meme you mentioned, the vast majority of people weren’t given that much money) Plus it doesn’t change the main point that the spending stopped in Sept 2021. We’re two months off from it having been a year since extra unemployment benefits were a factor.
No it doesn't, what's convoluted is this idea that taxes don't go into a general pot. In the US gambling wins are taxed, that money doesn't get spent on gambling related services, it goes into the general pot.

(Of course the idea of there being a "general pot" for a government that backs its own currency is a misnomer in any case)
Yep. Actually I could also consider using an iPhone and Mac devices in general in such a case.

Unfortunately the content of that project is a hostage of Facebook now - similar to ransomware gangsters they force you to do something to get the data, in this case you need to create an account and take part in that global surveillance network. I do not understand why people do that.
The immediate concern for them is melting of the permafrost in northern Siberia, which is already happening. This could cause collapses of entire cities, industrial/mining complexes, pipelines etc. This process will take decades, so can be potentially planned for, but Russian rulers aren't known for being long-term thinkers.
I didn't say anything about removing classical. It obviously has a place.

As for prestige and tradition... we shall see, I suppose. Prestige follows the prestigious. We are now entering terrify, with Magnus at least, where the best players don't want to compete in traditional matches and the chess watching public doesn't want to follow it anyway.

If you think FIDE involvement in rapid/online cheapens chess... then you'll eventually be in a world that has tradition & prestige on one side and popularity and the best players in the other.

For me at least the Nix ship has sailed. I'm all in on containers for both prod and local dev environments. Yeah the MacOS performance for volume mounting sucks but we can largely cope.

If the Nix story was more together a few years ago I might have been swayed. Currently though containers is good enough.

Who knows maybe it is worth using Nix when it comes to ARM devices. We'll see I guess.

> It also starts to bother me quite a bit when we go from treating everyone equal before the law to creating certain requirements based on other factors.

We already do that. We always did that. We regard things that are used larger than a certain scale as infrastructure. Roads. Justice system. Military. Power network.

We always heavily regulated these. Entire world except the US also regulated the Internet backbone as a utility. So nowhere in the world do people and companies have to still pay mid-2000s prices for bandwidth like they have to in the US after 1990s regulations expired and major ISPs started to consolidate entire backbone. They even tried to declare the Internet backbone, therefore the Internet, their 'private property' to be able to do whatever they wanted.

When tech monopolies go over a certain size and become literal infrastructures that everyone HAS to use one way or the other, they should get the same treatment.
Private CA + Dedidicated CloudFront IP's are the fastest ways to do it in one line-item, but most commonly massive DB instances. Why create an index when you can double the number of cores? Wait, cores don't help improve queries? But more memory, so better right? Elastic MapReduce with oversized instances used to be pretty common, but RDS is a perpetual winner for most companies I've worked with.

But the typical worst case-practices, are the small companies who think avoiding vendor lock-in is a thing that matters at their scale. Look, you're never going to change cloud providers - if you do, that will be a problem you can solve then. You're never going to go multi-cloud. If you do that's a problem you can solve then. Preemptively DIY'ing everything from database copies to security to encryption is going to break you - you're now engineered on a brittle substrate of hacks with no support, all so that one day you could maybe consider saving 10% on your cloud bill by moving to a different provider. The day that migration will save you more than one engineer per month, consider it. Until then, you're just making your own costs worse.

> Google Maps doesn’t need to solve the traveling salesman problem (shortest route between all nodes in a network).

To be more precise, the traveling saleman problem asks for the shortest tour that visits all nodes in a directed, weighted graph.

That's a general graph. If you do this on a map, your travel times have a lot of structure already. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem#Sp... especially 'Metric' and 'Euclidean'.

And, of course, when asked for directions Google Maps gives you just the shortest path between two nodes; or perhaps the shortest path that visits a given sequence of nodes in a fixed order. Google Maps doesn't (yet?) re-shuffle your stops for you.

If it did that in general, it would indeed have to solve something at least as hard as the (metric) TSP.

(Of course, they could also only support that feature for eg up to five stops. That would be comfortably in P.)
It takes a lot of energy and coordination to create functioning software. To suggest that this is being used for a private surveillance system for one individual is ridiculous.

> Finite discrete probability theory is purely deductive. Under the assumption that a process is stochastic (e.g. that a die is fair when it is thrown), probabilities follow deductively.

I’m FAR from an expert here but I read that probability theory in general can be based on fuzzy logic, which is purely deductive. Can you please comment on why it needs to be finite and discrete? And why that stochasticity assumption is needed?
At the same time there are ways in game theory too that can give tools to almost avoid all gerrymandering even where players are all against each other.

> Tacking road maintenance costs onto other general goods in the form of taxes disproportionately hits people who try to avoid using a car for the environment and the liveability of their city, for example by taking public transport or a bike.

Those general goods will reflect the cost of actually getting them to the store. Why should I subsidize pornography magazines, canned pork, and other items that I don't use? Just have everybody pay their fair share of road wear, or at least as close to it as possible, and let the costs trickle down. If some items, e.g. baby diapers or bread, are deemed to be worthy of subsidy then directly subsidize them.

In the case of a hospital and emergency room, they will usually have a monopoly in a given arena, so the losses will be felt by taxpayers and insurance premium payers. And the patients who end up getting lower quality are due to turbulence in operations. And the workers who cannot afford to or decide not to quit who have to deal with lower quality of life at work.
The Lambda functions should put at least two objects into the bucket, otherwise you don't get that nice exponential growth.
If you want an exact solution, and are willing to wait for it, you can use an integer linear programming solver to work on your Traveling Salesman Problem for you.

If you abort them early, these solvers can give you an approximate solution and *crucially* also a guarantee how far away they are from the optimal solution. Eg at most 3.7% longer than the optimal solution.

I migrated from Lisp to Julia for the ecosystem. It hasn't been worth it from my point of view. I'll migrate back to Lisp eventually.

ZigBee, Thread and a few others use IEEE 802.15.4 which allows three bands: 868/915/2450 MHz. According to the FlipperZero homepage, it supports two out these three bands: 868 and 915 MHz. So depending on your device, it might work with them too.
It doesn't add any value for me and I honestly wonder how it's got as far as it has.
Selling agency work to VC funds
Hey, fellow builders!

Have you had any success selling your service or product to VC funds?

What I mean by that is offering your service/product, maybe at a discounted price, to all the companies a VC backs. I'm mostly interested in the VC funds that invest in Saas and technology companies from seed to series A.

It makes sense when you don't want to write C++. Also - Csound already has some built-in functions - so you can use them and dont bother with implementing primitives.
Probably you are busy because 99% of your customers do not face any possible threat but are just paranoid, that's it. I am personally fine if all those paranoid people will generate enough market to make open source firmware/hardware sustainable.

Also, glitter nail polish does not work. It can be lifted and reapplied without disturbing.

Fair nitpick.

Based on sticker price, a 10k org would only be ~$1mil in revenue for slack (maybe half that with a big org discount?). Really makes me wonder about the valuations like 30bn on total revenue of 1bn.
'Negotiate'? No no my good man. That kind of thing gets easily abused by US corporations and they don't work elsewhere:

When Eu put out the 'browser ballot box' requirement for OSes, Microsoft said that it was technically very complicated, near impossible to implement it.

Then the Eu started fining Microsoft ~700,000 Euros a week or something.

Microsoft magically made the ballot box happen within a week.
> IMHO if you want 24/7 monitoring, then you need 24/7 staffing

I've never worked at a company which had 24/7 staff, I guess that would require international teams.

> If you try to offer 24/7 service and sell SLAs without actually having support people working 24/7 shifts [...] that's the sign of a poorly run company

The reason I almost can't agree with this is, that almost everyone I know who's working in IT Engineering/Administration works in on-call. This includes people working at the federal post, railways, biggest banks, largest grocery stores, national TV/Radio etc. And that's all in Switzerland, so I doubt that these companies are all poorly run.

It's also not really lying to customers, because customers know about on-call. They know that people generally fix stuff during business hours, with on-call people watching out for the systems during non-business hours.

I wonder if it's a cultural difference or something. I rarely hear people complain about on-call. Not many especially like it, but it's considered to be a thing you just have to do. Also, everyone I know gets paid extra for on-call, and it being Switzerland, on-call has lots of rules.

If you're interested, here's a webpage where the government writes about on-call and all of its rules and definitions, https://www.seco.admin.ch/seco/en/home/Arbeit/Arbeitsbedingu...

When has Blackrock tanked a stock and where are the ESG changes? Ultimately the are fiduciary as an asset manager for their clients they can't decide to tank stocks for fun. A huge part of the holdings are in ETF which they can threaten to sell.

The biggest reason tho is that no one in Finance really gives a hoot about ESG, only returns

Tho, there was revolutionary activity going on long before in Russia. What reforms they were doing, it was a lot due to fear of revolution.

Also, the way people talk about is as if hunger implied revolution. Most hungry places most of the time are just that - hungry and disordered. Organized revolution requires pre-existent groups, arms, competent leadership and especially weak state. When state is not weak, it will suppress the revolutionary activity with zero issues.

I agree with your general premise.

10% of companies advertising that they use 100% green energy, while the other 90% of society uses 0% is no better than the government forcing 10% of all energy to be zero carbon.

Economist agree that carbon taxes work, but they work at every level not just the first time it's spent which amplifies the effect.

However, I think I disagree on two important things:

a) fixing climate change is the cheaper option. We're "doomed" only to the extent that system incentives drive us to do the wrong, more expensive thing

b) more info can only help that case, even at the margin.

Voting is the most powerful way for most people to act. Voting with your wallet helps too.

This theory is particularly popular on TikTok, where a supposed whistleblower account called “cernopeningparalleldimen” has repeatedly gone viral, claiming to millions of people that, for example, the “particle collider is changing the weather around the planet,” or that “CERN is opening parallel dimensions that … causes the change in the climate.” Dozens of other accounts, with millions upon millions of views, have posted conspiracy theories about how the Large Hadron Collider was set to open “wormholes,” “portals,” “mirror dimensions,” “alternate dimensions,” and so-on and so-forth.

There are product and SaaS discounts for the portfolio companies of VCs for sure. But in terms of services and consulting I am not so sure. AWS and others often give startup credits.
My main gripe with Goldratt's ideas is that they are based on the hypothesis that globally analysing a system's averages gives information about bottlenecks and constraints that can be usel to control ingress. It's true for simple systems, and for complex ones better than nothing, of course, but as anyone who has ever run a large system has experienced, the global bottlenecks and the actual, dynamic behaviour of the system at a local level can be quite different.

Both demand and capacity can fluctuate unpredictably as people get sick, machines break down, large orders come in, bugs are found, requirements change, and so on. Any optimisation needs to react dynamically to these changing conditions, and changes need to happen locally first and then spread upstream, rather than upstream being globally controlled by the current bottleneck.

If you react to bottlenecks only at ingress, you will have large batches traveling through the system only to pile up at the bottleneck anyway, because by the time you choke ingress, large batches that were let through before the bottleneck changed will be making their way through the system unrestricted anyway. Similarly, when a bottleneck goes away, it will take longer for the system to recover if your only control point is globally at ingress.

There's a great example of this which I've forgotten where I found it -- could be in the Reinertsen book referenced elsewhere in this discussion. But basically WIP constraints as backpressure outperform global constraint analysis even in quite trivial situations, simply because it adapts more dynamically to the local conditions of the bottleneck and it's surroundings.
If you already use and like Linux, MacOS doesn't cut it in terms of UI. ;)
