The following on bit from those statements is:
“That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.”

So your colleagues view was a pretty extreme one compared to the moderation shown there. But like any philosophy you end up with fundamentalists taking things too far even in the face of reality being more complex. It’s terrifyingly dogmatic to argue from scripture rather than pragmatics.
I mean if you go through them yourself and you'll see most (if not all) of those are closed. And the majority of the others dealt with composability issues between custom packages/libraries and not base Julia. Honestly it's a tooling + linter problem, and the lack of progress there (plus the general adversarial/celebratory tenor of that thread) made me pretty glad I've just moved onto Rust + python again. It's just too demoralizing from a dev's perspective to see.

Don't get me wrong, I love multiple dispatch and Julia's composability + speed make it a no brainer for science/quant econ teams to adopt (and using it to train models on TPUs is a actually a sneaky way to save time + $), but they've lost the "culture" war and I can't see the entrenched masses here or elsewhere changing their minds on it. Not sure whether it's for job security sake or they got sick of all the "Julia is faster than/will replace X" evangelism or Plots loaded too slowly the one time they tried it years ago or a combination.
Excited to see the effect of the precompilation improvements, saving more of the pre-compiled code. I've heard there's even more improvements in this direction with v1.9, and it seems like a good way to make significant progress regarding latency issues.

`status --outdated` is something I've wished for many times, nice!

Typed globals will, at the least, make life easier for people new to Julia (and those teaching them).
They are parodies of songs and national socialism is a set of politics and philosophies - just because you don't like it doesn't make it not political.

> they are outright neo-nazi propaganda...

Yet again, so what? Are you insinuating that people are being assaulted by a song?

> Sorry, comparing Austria's and Germany's anti-nazi-laws to Saudi Arabia is beyond ridiculous.

No, it isn't, and if you're going to claim that it is, you need to explain why.
We evolved to hunt animals. The evidence being our capacity for long distance running, our bipedal stature freeing up our forelimbs for grabbing / killing with tools, our intelligence, our dentition. We shouldn't be ashamed of this fact any more than you should be ashamed that your dog or cat is a carnivore. At least we have the choice to not be cruel to the animal as we eat it, we can kill it humanely rather than disemboweling it and eating it guts first while it's still screaming in pain.

Ask HN: Best DNS Blocker for iOS
Looking at fairly simple, idiot available, DNS block options for iOS -- by idiot i mean downloading an app and making some basic changes myself, not trying to run a pihole through my own server, etc.

-- My only real requirement would be that i could be allowed to be add my own domains that i want filtered to my own black list (such as iOS ads domain so i no longer have to see ads in News+ app).

I've been using Adguard Pro but the latest version for some reason refuses to transmit any data while on cellular network, it works fine on wifi but on cellular i get nothing. i tried searching forums but even though people list these problems about once a year since 2017 there doesn't seem to be ever a viable solution posted.

i then switched to NextDNS, but that DNS doesn't allow me to add additional domain.

i also switched DNSCloak but it also doesn't have a selection to block your own domains (or maybe i just need to pay the $12 updated pro version?).

So anyways, could someone advise an DNS blocking app that they use on iOS that perhaps isn't AdGuard that would help me do what i want to do?

Tnx.

Every time I try Julia on my computer, there is so much lag between input and output, I just go back to R.
This level of detail is mandatory to have a spec that can actually be executed at some point.
Yes, ortholinear is the way.. add a slight split for ergonomics and I will buy one instantly. I have the atreus as well and use it as my daily driver (removed 6 of the keys (3 bottom left & right) and taped over the holes.). With QMK, combo keys, it's a great experience but I miss the low profile keybed sometimes.

I don't think one realizes until you try an ortholinear keyboard with some ergonomic split just how uncomfortable the angled/rectangular style keyboards are. My hands, wrists and forearms have never felt better, as someone who is typing 8+ hours a day.
Are you aware of any equivalent to AirGuard that can run on a linux host with a Bluetooth adapter rather than a phone?
Nice to see some nuance for once on this topic. Consider also that wfh is a socially acceptable vehicle for shorter workdays, for some, in spite of some of the data you showed.
Amazing website and the quality of the keyboard looks exquisite.

Not sure how I feel about a coiled c-c cable. That might be too hardcore for me.

All in all, great design!
Just consider the biochemical basis.

The body can deal with saturated and unsaturated fats. It has the enzymes to transport and handle them. They're a normal constituent of membranes.

Trans fats have no place in the body, and they do not arise naturally. You don't have the programming to deal with them. Their structure increases membrane rigidity, decreases lipid raft mobility, impairs cellular function.

Don't put trans fats into your body in any quantity.
I agree, but at this point, if it's not Apple Silicon, it's obsolete.
The only thing that my next keyboard probably won't have is the numpad, because I don't use it, and having the mouse closer to my right hand would be a welcome convenience.

Other than that, a couple more keys, like for example a Hyper key or a higher-level Shift would be very welcome.
Not saying it's impossible, but I've never heard of it happening in that direction[0]. The immune system uses natural selection to randomly generate and amplify successful antibodies. It seems that the likelihood of generating exactly that antibody in the immunization process is astronomically low.

[0] unless the lab-gnerated antibody is "seeing" a different part of the virus that the current vaccine doesn't see, in which case targeting the new spot in the virus is an obvious "next move".

Still a roof.
Sir,

I disagree that shareholder value is a curse. I recommend The Visible Hand by Alfred D. Chandler Jr. who noted that over the last century there has been a shift from family-managed businesses to managerial-management which has more loyalty to themselves and abstract owners of the company, creating these kind of effects wherein a subsection of the managerial class can hop and skip through executive management irrespective of the tire fire they leave behind. Or, similarly, the churn and burn of certain speculators seeking immediate gain through capturing the business’s organizational structure to serve its own, as mentioned, selfish ends. Contrast this to the historical need for going to public markets, which is to quickly raise funding to continue to scale the scope of a business firm’s productive assets :)
Excellent ad hominem. One thing they certainly haven't done is attack the author instead of debating their points.

Still waiting for a reasoned rebuttal, rather than dismissing them summarily because they like another OS.

Also, what is wrong in updating an article so it stays relevant and doesn't refer to things that have been fixed?
That's the reason why I have a numpad layer on my 46 key split ortholinear keyboard.

Your use case doesn't mean you need a physically separate set of keys for this.
> Does anyone following the Julia community know if the situation is getting better?

Which situation exactly? The linked article lacks a salient point, so there's really no way to know what you're referring to.
Humble until somebody else starts talking bullshit, I guess.
I agree. That's why the original statement "Housing was never an investment before recent decades" doesn't make a lot of sense and the justification "Housing tracked inflation for 400 years" doesn't support it even it's correct.

(Btw, not sure if it was implied but the "you" in "you buy some other property and let it out to tenants or businesses" is often a pension fund or mutual fund.)

In Netherland incasso is mostly used for recurring membership fees, not the purchase of goods. Those are generally done through a direct, authorised transaction, which isn't so easily reversible.

I never thought I'd move away from Vim, but the ease of use and polish here make it worth switching (with maybe Neovim as the backend at some point), rather than try to recreate it in Vim.
Yeah, I use Home/End/PgUo/PgDn constantly, so much that having to use any modifier for it is just not acceptable to me. A secondary factor is that there are often keyboard shortcuts that combine Home/End/PgUp/PgDn with (combinations of) Shift/Ctrl/Alt, so having to add another modifier to those just makes it really inconvenient.

There is a sweet spot of the number of keys available for use without modifier keys, and that sweet spot may be different for everyone, but it is closer to 100 for me.
Martijn, I want to really give you some credit for these responses: It's rare to see someone who will step in and defend bad takes against the party they are also taking issue with.

I think bivalves are usually considered shellfish and they just look like muscle. Except for oysters, which look like snot or something and I'm unsurprised when people don't want to eat that.
It's worth remembering that Northern Europe has a comparatively harsher climate compared to Southern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.

Even until the late bronze age to early iron age, the poorer soil quality and colder climate meant less reliance on agricultural output and cereal crops was needed. Rather than being able to grow more favourable crops like wheat and millet (which was grown occasionally pre-Viking Age and during the Medieval Warm Period, still 2500-2000 years after the period we're talking about), the cereal crops of choice would have been ones that are more frost resistant and less reliant on soil quality like spelt, barley, rye (which could be grown in very poor soil like bogs), oats, etc. Rice is an important crop with similar yield to wheat with less processing needed, but it simply doesn't grow much further north than Italy or Spain.

Hardy vegetables like cabbage, peas, and root vegetables like turnip, grass land for grazing and the subsequent diary products, wild game, seafood, etc, were all just as important given the shorter growing seasons and harsher winters.

These factors and more means that for much of its history, Europe and especially Northern Europe had less food output which led to lower population density with cities being less capable of producing a similar amount of cultural output that you see in the Med/MENA countries. Even for the Romans, again 2000-1500 years after the period we're talking about, countries like Morocco and Egypt were important for the Republic and Empire and were known as breadbaskets.
Why is a bug city any different than a small town? If there aren’t enough police then we should hire more. Let’s stop effectively legalizing entire classes of crime.
Because people trade salary for ethical values. Many are are willing to do ethically good things for less (or no) money. You have a full spectrum:

- software development for the average company: $$$

- software development in "fintech", real estate, make weapons, or other somewhat questionable thing: $$$$$

- write algorithms in some FAANG to manipulate people using ads: $$$$$$

There are software engineers with decades of highly specialized knowledge and skill whose day job is writing batch report scripts and tweak templates. They get paid a quarter of a million base.

I wouldn't minimize his work as "twitter" — he spent a lot of time, money, and effort on raising money (millions) for various downballot candidates over multiple elections only to ultimately find that it didn't have much impact.

Really bad advice. I have learned a lot from people way less experienced than me. Even if I usually know more than some individual I still find things that he may know and I do not.

Let's not talk about classifying an individual as "mediocre". It just seems the old "noble blood" fallacy as if some people is just "better" than others instead of everyone being being complex and with flaws.
The importance of this subject is underestimated and applies as well quite independently of whether humans eat the insects directly or not. Consider the cuban tree frog for example, which has long since initiated its campaign in Florida to host and spread throughout the food chain the rat lungworm nematode. Rat lungworm (angiostrongylus) holds its own in the burgeoning presence of hideous and hostile parasites. It is highly infectious to many species and no picky eater, as it favors the entire body of the host, the brain and all. Burmese pythons are another up and coming host in Florida, and while they might prefer a provincial life in the everglades, many other species will meander north and onward. There are other nasties from nematodes to cestodes and more, gaining new ground. Baylisascaris procyonis is another terrible nematode found almost anywhere in the US, mostly in racoons, but in other species (humans included) with more varying and less frequency and it's often incurable. A study showed that, if I remember correctly, 40 out of 250 wildlife rehabilitation personnel had been exposed, but symptoms varied by exposure load. Both rat lungworm and baylis ascaris are resistant to environmental elements that normally break things down, with baylis even surviving UV light, formaldehyde and extreme cold. Rat lungworm can be deposited on surfaces (eg vegetables), and snails are common vectors. Lungworm is very difficult to remove by washing while baylis is so adhesive that wildlife control authorities advise disposing of rather than washing shovels or tools exposed to racoon latrines. The list goes merrily along with other nasties, but it would require time to refresh my memory and accurately describe more.

That's probably true. The work I always love the most is building tools to help other people at work...

On the other hand I've found those companies hard to break into because they often expect you to have specific expertise in things like "very high scale applications" or specific low-level things.

I wish I had real numbers. So instinct from what I've seen:

- a data analyst role rebranded as a DS role will be lower paid than a DE role, maybe 50% diff

- an actual DS role is probably higher paid than a DE role, but really depends on the job+co

- a great DS role and a great DE role are both super well compensated. Though maybe again DS higher than DE in most just b/c ability to more directly drive $. Unless something like an infra company, the DS will be inherently closer to the business & outcomes.

Nice, I'm fond of the spectacular and meticulous designs. Subscribed to the mail list and hoping to get at least two finished product (I'll probably buy both UK and US layout).

Aesthetics resembles me a mix of Apple and Sinclair (especially Sinclair QL), two of my favourite design perspectives with a breeze of eighties. Linear switches another plus point for me. Maybe a different font for alphabetic keys would be nice and consistent with design, font of numerical keys is very good and maybe a good candidate for alphabetics too, nice typewriter era lines. Other than these; recycled materials, aluminium monobody, low-profile keys, etc. nice touches for me. I'm sold. :-)

I hope all goes well!
I'd considering finding a way to design the house such that you can install DIY ductless mini-split systems. They can be very energy efficient, and installed DIY can be very inexpensive (relatively). Plus, if you're in a humid climate, you can find some that have de-humidification ability as an option.

In my youth it was assumed that the problem with fats is when they were solid at room temperature. Thus saturated fat was assumed to have the same effect as much cheaper trans fat, so they studied trans fat and called saturated fat bad. Then someone else recommended margarine (transfat) over butter because the headline said saturated fat (and the article may not have even mentioned they actually tested trans fat because there was thought to be no difference)

Some of this was science not knowing they needed to check things, but a lot of it was media and industry groups trying to sell a product and running a with half truths that fit their narrative. there are a lot of old studies that we cannot/should not reference today at all because things we now know are important were not something science took care to control for.

Problem is good science takes years. Health authorities need to make recommendations today, and often for political reasons don't get the option to say I don't know.
