That was the concept I was gesturing at but I couldn't remember the name. Militaries in general but the US in particular are predominantly logistics organizations with a lethal last mile delivery focus. It's part of why they're so good for responding to natural disasters in far flung island countries, they're used to delivering goods with little infrastructure at the destination.
Totally agree and sorry again for my wording as I probably miss understood what you meant.

And no, I am trying to replace what I consider is a wrong intuition (tree methods are strong models mostly because single trees separate data in hyperplanes) with my 4 lines. This is just my opinion.
Maybe take a step back and look at foundational topics such as higher order programming. Then you can take this foundational knowledge and apply and use it in any programming language and not be surprised when you come across it.

The ternary operator is born out of the need for an expression form of if-else. Some languages have if-else already implemented as an expression so they don't need a ternary operator.

Typescript exists to provide a static-typing discipline to javascript, if you don't care about this obviously you won't see the importance of typescript.
I know at least conifer trees are never "fully grown". I imagine it is the same for deciduous trees. Trees continue to add wood to there structure every year. You count the tree rings to know its age. A 500 year old redwood, cedar, or Douglas fir can be 15 or more feet in diameter. That is a lot of wood. Unlike what many people thought, studies have found that the volume of wood added to trees in a mature forest is similar to a young one.
Super useful product and really tight execution. Excited to see how this evolves.
the free cruise scam has an INSANELY long script requiring very little interaction from me, the scammee. They read for over a minute uninterrupted. Then I give them a fake CC number from a generator. Then they get mad. Then I tell them to join the Naxalites. But even if I didn't interact with them they'd have a very long time on the line due to telling me all about the cruise.

Haven't gotten one in a year or so. Would love to know why. Does the well dry up a bit for them on that one particular thing?
ARM servers on the cloud doesn't seem to be as performant as their x86 counterparts with similar specs and same workloads (I've tried AWS, Oracle, Hetzner, Scaleway- when it had one), I think it largely comes down to the software optimizations.

Where as, I continue to use several ARM home servers consisting of Pi's and Jetson with smaller workloads and applications made for them.
What's also funny about this is that I've tried using Google's screening service and I've literally never had an important caller answer the screening, they just go to voice mail instead. It's a weird situation because everyone knows that no one picks up calls from unknown numbers but everyone also expects you to pick up for them. It's kinda like when someone texts you "Hi" after exchanging numbers. No, text me "Hi it's so and so from xyz" because I can't differentiate you from spam without that. It's amazing to me that with such a universal problem that people don't adapt to the situation.
Would have thought this is self evident. Intermediates exist and they can do essentially anything. Without absolute control over every aspect of the systems involved you have no guarantees about ordering.
Is it an excuse or an acknowledgement of reality? I think everyone agrees that in principle, all else being equal, it would be good for uniformed Space Force Guardians to maintain high fitness standards. But the reality is that the service has to recruit from a population that's becoming steadily less fit. Military leaders don't have the ability to reverse that trend in the civilian population, so in order to maintain force levels at a politically acceptable funding level they have to make hard choices and compromise standards somewhere. So would you prefer that they keep fitness standards high but take recruits with lower ASVAB scores or less education or criminal records? Something has to give.

The concerns about a sudden enemy or terrorist attack seem a little silly. We're talking about people who spend all day staring at screens, and don't even have weapons issued or close combat training. Base security will still be provided primarily by Air Force Security Forces (or civilian employees), and no one is proposing reducing fitness standards for them.

> In this system, the client would request a range (start time, max count) of events via an HTTP request, and the response would include the "end time" that can be used in the next query.

What happens if two transactions commit out of order? tx1 with a lower timestamp commits after tx2 with a higher timestamp has committed - and your client just saw tx2's timestamp.

Or if you have ≥$maxCount number of events changed the same exact timestamp?
Boris is horrible as are most tories. Out of curiosity, what are the reasons to support risi?

This top comment is odd, in the sense that the article does not talk about TikTok's privacy and/or geopolitics debacles at all, even though the title "poison pill" might lead some users who didn't read the article to think it refers to TikTok's violation of privacy, or it being created and controlled by an Internet giant based in Communist China, or something along these lines.

The "poison pill" in the title actually refers to TikTok's recommendation model that disregards (or at least de-weights) social graph, versus Facebook/Instagram's approach.

The tech startup that eventually creates that will call this "efficiency". This type of 'solution' is exactly what capitalism creates.

I already don't trust a lot of the mental health industry because of the very bad experiences[1] I've had in the past. The easiest/fastest way to guarantee I never visit a psychiatrist again is to start using that kind of "AI" tech without first showing me the source code. "Magic" hidden algorithms are already a problem in other medical situations like pacemakers[2] and CPAP[3] devices.

> make up for the trade-off of not being in the room

Maybe what you need isn't some sort of "AI" or other tech buzzword. It sounds like you need better communication technology that doesn't lose as much information.

On the more general topic of "AI in psychiatry", I strongly encourage you to play the visual novel Eliza[4] by Zachtronics. It's about your fear of a cheap, high error rate system with an additional twist: the same system also optimizes your role into a "gig economy" job.

I'm curious - would you also say, "If you learn OOP, in a real OOP language, it will bring discipline not the way you write code." And if you wouldn't say that, why not?

And what language and learning tools would you recommend for this FP learning?
weird, didn't see it much around NYC.
It's really handy if your "window manager" is actually in your terminal (say, you use tmux). Otherwise you've got two layers of "window manager" to deal with—your terminal multiplexer, and your actual window manager.

Why might one use something like tmux instead of relying on Rectangle or a tilling window manager or what have you?

1) The terminal is far easier to gain access to cross-platform than any GUI window manager, so if you can keep most of your workflow in the terminal, you can work just about anywhere. You get it out-of-the-box basically everywhere but Windows (assuming we mean a Unixy terminal, here, not cmd or powershell) but it's very easy to gain access to a unixy terminal there, too, these days.

2) Maybe you are constrained to the terminal for some reason, as in the case of a remote server that doesn't have X installed.
Are you sure you can tie those problems in Portland to abuse of psychedelic drugs?

Given that connection, are you sure that decriminalization is what caused increasing abuse rates in Portland? IIRC, that was instituted in 2020, and the pandemic mucked up a few things since then.

Some of the most brilliant minds in the world are working on anything you could name.

> their literal job is to figure out how to subvert this.

I mean sure, but at the end of the day all we're talking about here is an app that shows you a sequence of entertaining videos, it's not streaming directly into your brain stem, it's not fundamentally different from any of the other addictive things that have existed on the internet for years.

Frankly, it's not even that important... So what if you waste your time looking at a bunch of random videos? I personally know people who spend 6+ hours a day on twitch, youtube, minecraft etc, they don't frame themselves as victims being subverted by the insidious machinations of majong, it's understood that they simply enjoy minecraft so they play it a lot, sometimes more than they know they should, but that's just life, there is nothing special about tiktok that merits this subversion of agency narrative.

Our excess death rate in Norway was negative.
I wrote about this once before, but I had a very similar situation, except with family photos instead of books. The story was that someone's apartment was cleared out after they were evicted. Well, after a few years of the stuff sitting in storage, I got around to looking through it, and with a bit of sleuthing, I tracked down the person who the family photos belonged to and gave them a call.

The call did not go well. It is certainly possible that I could have approached the phone call better, and maybe I should have tried harder, but they were suspicious, rude, and quite possibly upset. So I never took the family photos to them, and eventually disposed of them.

You really never know how people will respond to having their past thrust at them like this. Or how they'll respond to strange phone calls.
If the criteria for success is "a stable state with high security for all citizens" then any conventional military is a necessary but insufficient tool for the job.

Communist doctrine said it best: military-political aims can only be solved by a fusion of military and political effort.

Failure to allocate equally prioritized effort, by ensuring all leaders of both efforts appreciate the duality, results in an inability to achieve desired outcomes.

And based on historical outcomes of multiple alternatives... I'm not convinced that forcefully-catalyzed political regime change and state rebuilding can be successfully accomplished without (distastefully severe) political indoctrination.

You have to change a lot of minds to do so, including some that don't want to be changed, in less than a generation.

It isn't a trap that I am going to fall into because it isn't a problem that I am trying to solve.

I firmly believe that the problem to solve is much closer to facilitating and recording the results of the ceremonies. That is effectively done in part by the above organizations but, in my opinion, the real problem lies with the follow up about implementation inside of the real world. I do think that USENIX is much better at _that_ than the ACM or IEEE.

I took a look at their privacy policy and the company behind this blog isn't even GDPR compliant, despite their claims. Note the following from their privacy policy:

"Research and analysis - We may process usage data and/or transaction data for the purposes of researching and analysing the use of our website and services, as well as researching and analysing other interactions with our business. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interests, namely monitoring, supporting, improving and securing our website, services and business generally."

This for of tracking requires consent. It cannot be justified as legitimate interest. Even this questionable blog post itself says so "Why: Because analytics is not required in order for the site to function."

edit: typos
Their site never asked for my consent.

I think because the metaphor went from being file-centric (you choose the file, you launch the app) to app-centric (you open the app, then open the file). It's not exactly applicable to the file manager arena but I guess most users do not need to manage files, they let their apps do it for them.
Quoting:

> ... I looked through some of the books in the top boxes and realized that there were some very old, and often valuable, books in this boxes.

You're right that this isn't saying that the books were definitely worth a lot of money, so it really say something remotely similar.
I've tried screening with Google's screening service and recruiters don't use it. So I'm not sure a checkbox will do any better than "Hi the person you are calling is using a Google screening service. Please state why you are calling." They always go to voice mail and then complain about me not picking up.
I'm curious if and what the next big computer thing is. I think a lot of people saw the iPhone coming at least 10 years before it got here. I bought palm pilots realizing they weren't what I really wanted but the hope has been there for a while. Is there anything right now that will reach that?

Obviously VR is the hope but I think we're pretty split on whether we want that. I can't really see Google Glass type thing replacing the iphone. There's some intresting stuff in this microsoft future of computing video about surfaces and glass, but It doesn't feel like one revolutionary consumer leap to get there:

Moonshots. And Apple is never first to market with anything. They take ideas that have traction and marketplace and then try to build a better one. The car wont make it because there is not a a successful industry to steal from yet. They have a chance with AR, but there is not enough adoption yet for Apple to be successful here yet (And apple is terrible with gaming).

I also have ADHD and I made the mistake of downloading TikTok once. It ended up costing me a lot of time, money, and a significant chunk of my attention span. It became so bad that I couldn't focus at work because all I could think about was TikTok.

I uninstalled it and haven't looked back. I don't feel angry at the company, but I do feel exploited and preyed on. Makes me worried about the kids that use this app and have even less self-control than I do.

I'd say the second sentence misses the mark.

There were roughly no people who subscribed to newspapers only for classifieds. Buy one, sure, not everyone would have a subscription so they'd pick one up if job hunting or looking for a used couch.

The problem was those people didn't want to pay the price a newspaper would have to charge, after losing their lucrative classified customers to a free alternative.

The part where the Internet took over the role of the rest of the newspaper came after, as a feedback loop.
I think you're overestimating the ease of detecting spam. A lot of major companies have this issue. You may argue that it's a lack of will, but they have things in place and if it was easy they'd be effective.

That's runtime type checking, which is a completely different thing and doesn't fit the analogy. Runtime type checking helps you fail fast, which hopefully prevents undefined behaviour and data corruption, and can help with fault localisation (some hardcore type theorists would even argue that runtime types aren't really "types" per se, but more like tags).

Compile-time type checking is a soundness proof of your program, which is an entirely different thing.

I agree with the parent on the weirdness of how the problem is stated in the first place.

On your customer and card example, the issue is not message delivery order but processing order, or more precisely prerequisite satisfaction.

My first thought looking at it was to just store the data of any of the hooks coming in, check the prerequisites each time, and only process the whole when everything needed has arrived.

Trying to dictate order from the sender without any cooperation from the receiver seems like a fool's errand, as in any real world scenario where it really matters, the receiver will also want a way to check it actually received everything in order.
Agreed. I think it's underappreciated just how inefficient and undercapitalized the North Korean state is, and by extension how low their people's expectations are.

Unlike Iraq and Afghanistan, South Korea would be logistically and economically able to flood the North with what would seem to be impossibly plentiful consumer goods and staples.

And politics have a way of dissolving in the face of consumption...
I wonder if others are getting caught up in somebody else's misbehavior. I'm sure they'll all claim to be that one unfairly tarred with that brush, but I'd have thought that the proper response was to have the papers re-reviewed rather than retracted.

Even the ones that manipulated the review process might be valid papers. Manipulating review should be a black mark on your record, but it's a high bar to prove. Having the paper fail a re-review would accomplish that -- imperfectly, but I would think better than just cutting all of the papers out.
This WILL NOT work. The best thing you can do is sign up for the FCC DNC list. It'll take a month but then after that every legal spam call will stop.

The problem with your method is that spammers call phones just to see if they pick up. This then confirms an active number that they maintain in their lists. This can be done legally because technically calling and hanging up and never calling again (from the same number) isn't spam. So just don't answer.
There's no way to guarantee that the receiver will process the webhooks in order since you have no control over the receiver, but you CAN guarantee you can send them in a given order or at least identify the order of those webhooks and provide ways to identify or discover that order if the receiver so chooses to pay attention to ordering or use order discovery.
My doctor (well, their hospital system) uses Epic/MyChart as their EMR. I also have the MyChart app on my phone. I get a push notification via the MyChart app when anything new posts to my chart - no phone call, text, or email required. And I don't want the push notifications, I could opt out of that too.

Surely most doctors offices use a vanishingly small amount of EMR providers, and they could support similar very easily.
