A novel type of language might, but we're entering the odd place which is about the equivalence of types of language mapping to the architecture of instructions on a CPU. At this point, it's hard to say what specific attribute a new language brings which we don't already have choices for. Parallelism for instance is notoriously hard to express, without confusing the neophyte. Designing a language to make asynchronous parallelism easy helps neophytes but that isn't a state of permanency in anyone.

FP is said to preserve opportunistic parallelism latent in a problem and permits overall optimisation in parallel ways, when possible, so as a {type of language, problem solved} tuple, it has benefits. It also is a giant mind warp, so introduces its own "can do it, can't explain it" problem set (if somebody posts the joke about monoids, my job here is done)

I had high hopes for nocode. I continue to believe graphical presentation of problems has potential, with no evidence, only intuition. It saddens me nobody has taken UNIX piped commands, and instrumented them as cartoon sewerpipes bulging and emitting steam, as the IO chunks through.
Maybe the distribution is relative to the company's Eng org?
For that application, there really wasn't. The results of the read were not used for writes, and the latency from when information was published to available was on par with the time a request to the master would have taken. The time from data published to available was faster than the time to switch tabs in a browser and manually check.

But your requirements will depend on the application. Financial transactions need explicit locking logic and atomic operations. Such as is provided by SELECT ... FOR UPDATE in SQL. So another application could have more demanding requirements. Which is why, in addition to answering whether I encountered problems, I gave the actual performance characteristics. So that anyone planning their application can know whether this is a good enough solution for you.
Right, in the same way that in the hypothetical Blockchain utopia anyone seeing you eat at a coffeeshop can also see what porn sites you visit, how often you shop at the dispensary, and which escorts you prefer to visit.
This is a very well written post. I liked it a lot.

Standup is something I want to try one day. I have a lot of respect for comedians. My gut instinct is that the personality and delivery plays a more important role than the content.
This article is more honest, though. It only imports PyTorch and that is already mentioned in the title.
Was a period in transition to electric computers where mostly women programmed those calculations. My grandmother worked with that, programming numerical methods in the era when programs was written on punched tape, and later on using punched cards made things so much easier since you could split the program into parts instead of each program being a long paper strip. At least that was what she said.

I think it quickly shifted to men once programming the computers got easier with digital storage and displays and keyboards.
Something else would end up scarcer
The specific is always funnier than the general, as somebody once said.
I'm not sure why respondents are focusing on a specific home after it has been materialized in Vermont other than it serves as a specific example that any solution must address.

Zoom out a bit and observe the broader systems which conspired to guide the invisible hand to allocate a largely unproductive property in Vermont to exist in the first place. I'll be very clear - I'm not advocating for unhoused people from New York to inhabit this property. If that's how you've decided to read it I implore you to go back and begin steel-manning instead.
The correct word for both is "criminal".
I can't reply to every point that everyone makes -- I've been commenting on this thread for quite a while now. But I'll do my best!

In fact, I am so convinced that the carnivore diet would be a panacea for the world if we would just do it at scale that I am thinking of writing a book about it, which I would title "The Carnivore Panacea".

The association between red meat and colon cancer is "an association". Note that in nutrition science it is extraordinarily hard to demonstrate "causation" rather than "an association" because to demonstrate causation you would need the kind of double blind, placebo-controlled trials that are basically impossible to administer in this field.

Most nutrition science relies on people remembering what they ate last month, or feeding people in a controlled setting for a few days or weeks rather than the few months or years that would be necessary.

So, to put it bluntly, I am absolutely certain that eating red meat does not cause colon cancer -- but I am aware that this is a major talking point that has caught hold in the culture.

As for the "suffering" that eating meat causes, it is nothing in comparison to the suffering that eating plants causes, so I think eating meat wins easily on that count.

Note that some people think that if there are only plants on the plate of food that they are eating from, then this means that no animals were harmed to bring them that plate of food. For these people it is just a matter of pointing out the ecological costs associated with agriculture:

* the ten-thousand-acre mono-crop farms the destroy habitats,

* the massive quantities of insecticides that kill all the insects

* the secondary effect on the bird population that has plummeted due to the insecticide use

* the transportation costs (meat is more likely to be local than plant-based food)

* the impact on the health care sector (a major contributor to global warming) from the obesity, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease

All of the above can all be summed up by picturing the vultures that circle behind those combines on those massive mono-crop farms -- vultures because they can devour all the baby deer and little foxes and ground-nesting birds and little mice that live in the fields and get chewed up by the combine -- because when the harvest time comes, death comes with it.
Do you know how many they have to do? Thousands could be 0.0001%.
Very true. I bet Sam Zeloof's parents are rich as hell.

2) The latest earning from NVIDIA and AMD showed that about 30% of their GPU were to crypto miners, so no, the shortage was not an exaggeration and certainly not from many years ago.
I liked Venice a lot the one time I visited, and hope to go back at some point. It would be hard to be motivated to actually move to a small town that is on a short clock to being submerged by sea level rise though, especially if moving entailed tying up money in property there. To really come back it seems to me some combination of a new non-tourism industry and a real commitment to protecting from sea level change would both be required.
It seems like you’re agreeing that it’s orders of magnitude, which supports my point. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. :)
I find it really amusing when people tell on themselves like this. A similar thing happens when piles of people start decrying a newly announced movie for being "woke" when literally the only information we have about it is a promotional poster showing a non white/non male main character.

Newsflash - if people that don't look like you simply /existing/ is "too woke" you might just be a massive bigot.
It's rich comparing a Canadian woman who is handed literally everything except some extremely individualized demands on disability with apparently no need to work at all to "extremely marginalized" Chinese slave labor working 72+ hours a week in smog-filled cities where living labor-free in your own apartment next to someone smoking a cigarette sounds like a clean-room paradise. I would say being able to not work, have physician services, housing, and food provided to you in a first world nation all on the back of the public puts you squarely on one of the most privileged people on earth, one of the last place recipients in the oppression/marginalized Olympics if you will. And to go further and say "Give me more free shit or I off myself" puts it almost into the drop-dead-laughing realm of absurdity.

And I might add blackmailing someone is a bit different than killing yourself purely in response to something. For instance, I consider the immolation of the monks to be different in the regard that they usually aren't sending letters "do what I say or I kill myself" but rather "I am killing myself in response to this injustice." One is blackmail, the other is not.
You get to be a member of the rust evangelism strikeforce.

Joking aside, I guess devs are lured by the tooling, performance, single binary output and enthusiastic community (more people can see your projects).

Are you trying to weaken your argument?
I think that's checkmate, I win!
I hate this. I keep unusual and oftentimes random hours and I like it. I pull all-nighters maybe once or twice a month. Sometimes to party, sometimes to work, sometimes just because. But there is a lot of research arguing that my habits are a terrible idea. I consider myself healthier, more active and more resilient than a lot of people in their early 40's. But I'd hate to think I'm shooting myself in the foot by making my various internal systems go haywire because of my bizarre sleep patterns.
Nice! Thanks a ton!

Experts suspect the West has given Ukraine far more missiles than we know about
While the U.S. Department of Defense continues to hold weekly briefings with the media, some military experts now suspect that some more sophisticated weapon technology donations given to Ukrainians are being kept a secret from the world.

“It is what is not being talked about that could prove most important [to Ukraine’s war efforts],” according to 27-year veteran British Army tank commander Justin Crump, who was on the ground in Kyiv in July.

“Ukraine has more aircraft than it used to and better systems — this shouldn’t be happening six months into a war with Russia.”
There is no assumption here, just type inference. If you want it to be more explicit, you could just decorate the declaration with a type.

Right. Why do I want every community searched?
What you described is a channel inside the network of nodes. What's great in lightning network is that you can route paths / a flow inside the network made of those channels that you just described trustlessly (not trusting the intermediate nodes either) using some simple but ingeniously designed smart contracts.
Is there anything preventing widespread adoption of Plug and Charge? And could it be implemented in a way that doesn't require registering with every charging company separately?

I have literally 17 different charging apps on my phone. Almost all of them are truly awful clunky garbage, and seem to exist solely to harvest my private information, and to press "Start".
Animals are not “magic machines” the protein on their bodies comes from the food they eat. The only magic machines are plants that turn water, minerals and light into food.

It depends on how the developer chooses to implement the notifications and on how the app is distributed. The Play Store distribution of Signal uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (via Google Play Services or microG) and falls back to WebSockets if FCM is unavailable. The website distribution[1] of Signal only uses WebSockets. I don't think Signal tries to detect whether the phone is Chinese, only whether FCM is available.

Since Google services (including FCM) are blocked in China, apps that serve both Chinese and non-Chinese users usually find some way to support both FCM and the Chinese equivalents. For example, Airbnb serves users both inside and outside of China, so they distribute two builds of their app. The Play Store distribution of Airbnb relies solely on FCM for push notifications. The Chinese distribution of Airbnb,[2] according to an App Manager[3] tracker scan, bundles push notification libraries from JPush,[4] Xiaomi, Huawei, and Vivo.

Developers can choose to have one app distribution that support all of these services, or they can release separate builds that each handle some of these services. This varies from app to app.

Not true as the ParcPlace SmallTalk(s) were all JITed.
> you are describing me

> everyone treats the place like a holiday amusement park. Not learning the local language, not integrating with the locals, not adapting to local laws, customs and traditions, they're just there to have their fun of being the top 1% earners there, consume, party, Tinder around, and once the novelty wears off, move on.

I don't see how that matches your description of yourself in any way? It sure sounds like they're describing a very different group of people who have just a single thing in common with you, and then you've gone out of your way to misread that as an insult to you.
Wrong and small minded.

Twitter is an international company with international users, and the law protects the users of that country/legislation.

Engineer has lost all meaning.

"I started out as a patty inversion engineer at McDonalds."
I've only lost a few hundred dollars in crypto, so my knowledge is limited :P, but if fees went below 1.29%, it would be cheaper than Visa merchant fees. Plus, they usually have some POS equipment fee. If the fees reduced enough to "make sense" for merchants, would that be good enough? Is this even possible? Or would Visa and the like adjust their fees to stay competitive?
Obviously one of those cases where everyone's mileage varies, but the default JSON serialization has covered 99% of everything I've ever serialized/deserialized in Python without needing to write a to_json/from_json by hand. Needing those for 1% of cases seems fine. But also maybe I lean into duck typing a whole lot more than you do at the serialization boundary and don't need a lot of specific class types coming from JSON as long as the data is all in the same shape. You may think that's "primitives obsession", and I may think that a giant class hierarchy of custom objects is a bit non-Pythonic. We're both right, which is why, again, your mileage may vary here.

If you have a good understanding of ETH PoS perhaps I can ask this question.

The only issue I’m still confused about is the incentive to add hardware to the network. Obviously the network needs to be resilient to attack on consensus but it also needs networking and physical hardware resilience. How is that incentivized in the PoS?
Is it though? I think what will happen is that people who have big career ambitions will learn this style in order to please their superiors. But plenty of "regular" people, who don't feel a need for the career treadmill, will refuse to play along because after all - what's in it for them?

In ignoring those people (who may be technically brilliant or huge experts in their domain), the executives miss out more than the domain experts do, since the latter don't necessarily have a stake in the company's success.
Honest think that it's really well made, but intensely disliked the game (can't please everyone). Well done on the design and execution though!
Turn that on its head. What does RCS bring to the table? RCS brings two types of features: those that carriers will try to monetize (file transfer, VoIP, visual voice mail) and those that seek to drive "customer engagement" (chatbots, carousels, branding, quick-reply suggestions, "rich" cards).

From the Wikipedia page:

RCS Business Messaging (RBM) is the B2C (A2P in telecoms terminology) version of RCS.
*This is supposed to be an answer to third-party messaging apps (or OTTs) absorbing
mobile operators' messaging traffic and associated revenues*. While RCS is designed to
win back Person-to-Person (P2P) traffic, RBM is intended to retain and grow this A2P
traffic. … RBM is expected to attract marketing and customer service spend from
enterprises, thanks to improved customer engagement and interactive features that
facilitate new use cases. *This was the primary reason for the development of RCS by
the GSMA*.

No. Thanks. As I said, I don't really care if Apple implements RCS support in their Message app. If they do it's just one more thing I'll disable.

My take is that carriers should be dumb pipes. Voice, SMS, and data routing and that's it. Part of the reason RCS is already fragmented is because the carriers are trying to monetize it, you can bet your ass they're going to continue to drag their feet with E2EE – which is why Google's stood up their own separate RCS infrastructure.

That's right, it wrecks future playability; it also kills any chance kids have of getting $5-10 secondhand games.

Game consoles used to mean plug and play instantly and it works every time, but now it means subscriptions and mandatory updates and installation processes and different hardware levels (pro, regular; series x, series s), it's become a bad deal.

So companies move to PC, and now every company has a "client" to try to walled-garden their own games (blizzard, epic, steam, ubisoft, whatever bethesda formerly had, microsoft store, etc).

Games should be games; not work, not con jobs, not contractual obligations.
Why is the US so schizophrenic over the question of the Republic of China??

The US must make its mind up whether the Republic of China is a province of the Peoples' Republic of China or not. The US says time and time again that it believes in the the 'One China Policy' then performs acts which demonstrate that it doesn't believe in the 'One China Policy'.

It's no wonder that most countries now believe that the US either lies deliberately, or it will eventually renege on whatever agreement it makes.

"Untrustworthy" is the word that most people now use about the US.
Thanks! Nothing planned. What were you thinking?
I'm not convinced proof-of-stake works at all: https://yanmaani.github.io/proof-of-stake-is-a-scam-and-the-...

Money (depending on location).

I had solar installed last year in Australia. The 6.5kw grid tied system has an estimated payback time of approx six years, even with Australia's appalling buy:sales ratio for electricity (3:1 last I looked). For various reasons, I was not eligible for subsidies, and it was still worth it. I pay around AUD$350 per year for electricity, which is mostly in winter.

In summer, pulling an average of 30 kwh per day off the panel and running that straight into the AC without needing to worry about the electricity bill is amazing.

It's worth noting that due the original subsidies to get the industry going, Australia has some of the cheapest residential solar installation prices in the world. A 6.6kw system (pre means tested subsidies) is around $8,000. That's the panels, the inverter, all the other bits and pieces and the installation. Electricity prices range from $0.20 kwh to $0.40 / kwh.
Yeah, it seems like people are doubling down on a losing strategy. The real solution is usually involves going outside your front door and meet people. The same is true with dating.
I just don't believe that I would have caught log4shell no matter how many times I read the code.

If some big org is using the same code I am then if there's a bug a patch will be written and released.

by acting as a collective mechanism to pursue interests of individual consumers. Trivial example, Apple shutting down Facebook's ad tracking, which is almost certainly an interest of Apple users they could not individually pursue.

In fact the government is nothing else but a very large version of this, a big monopolist who solves a collective action problem.

I can confirm, had no idea they had such programs.

In general, Italy is seen as in pretty bad shape inside the EU (“PIGS”). While it’s economy’s size is still nothing to sneeze at, people going for the weather and the sea who have no specific cultural allegiance will choose Spain as a safer bet.

From the outside, the political scene has pretty much ruined Italy’s image as a serious business country, when you have Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, to some degree France as comparison points, all in the EU so you can also relatively easily move to.
I have all three to myself quite frequently. You're impractical.
> What's not to like?

Native interfaces and behaviour are preferable over whatever options the app developer chooses to support.

In the case of electron apps, effectively running multiple browsers is also in the “what not to like” basket.

Native apps often have less input latency, and are significantly nicer to use.

> Allows faster iteration for small teams

As a user, I’d much, much prefer slower iteration if it meant the resulting app was better. Electron apps thrashing out pointless updates every other day just because they can isn’t always a positive in my book.
Could you share what metrics they optimistize or monitor? Or how do they improve their algorithms? I don't know how much you can tell but I always wanted to hear it from someone who has worked with them
