I watched the video rather than read the short post. It did a good job getting into details that illustrate some of the tradeoffs. e.g. Do you want a small language that you can fully learn, or do you want a language with many features that you can spend time learning?

Other things that are made explicit such as specifying an allocator on every allocation is an inconvenience that you pay for that flexibility. The choice of safety being added rather than assumed and later satisfied or declared an unsafe area is vastly different with a tradeoff in how developers use the language. An example given was how the self-hosted complier can use cache optimized untagged unions with the tags in a separate array.

If I had to guess what the single biggest pattern of tradeoffs is, I'd say it's about being explicit rather than implicit. You gain fine-grained control at the cost of brevity/convenience.
these questions are basically copy pasta amongst the lab-leak crowd. that doesn't mean they aren't valid but I think it make sense to question the motivation in this instance.

Sure. Python. Two scripts stoped working for me recently, I just have re-written them in Go... I see no point of using Python anymore...

It is the opposite of my experience with Perl. I used to write some scripts in Perl just for fun long after Perl got stucked.

I used to sit next to / work with a security team at a sizeable company.

There seemed to be two types of "security" people. Professionals, and jokes.

The jokes were just opportunists, they knew surprising little despite talking a lot, and just made busy work for themselves and everyone else / if they got a sense of the executive teams whims they'd go with it regardless of the security concerns.

The professionals valued input from security researchers, educated and guided the executive team, worked WITH the engineering teams, and were technically highly proficient / understood the law. They also had a very strong motivation to work with other professionals, avoid the joke guys, and work at places their input was valued / taken seriously. They really didn't want some big bungled breach at a company on their resume when they were there.

I can't imagine a professional would have taken the actions Sullivan did. If someone told me they were worried about how it might impact them... I'd be immediately suspicious of them.
That's great feedback! Once you sign up you can fork one of the example repositories and grant the system only to it. We're also exploring other options to show the product's value but to really feel it the GH connection is required.
Congrats on the launch! This is an awesome concept, I don't think I've been on a single team that wouldn't have benefitted from having a tool like this.
There's no such thing as "not secure" for web-based languages. If the language is not secure, it's simply a non-starter. You cannot bolt on security to the web. You simply cannot build with "fast" as a primary motivation.

What Will Sex Robots Do to Humanity?
This is why, of all the schools I've gone to, LA City College remains the hardest, even after later graduating from a top ten engineering school. I was originally a biology major, and with Los Angeles flooded with refugees and immigrants, a whole lot of medical doctors and research scientists from former Soviet republics found themselves in a country where their licenses and degrees were not accepted, and they had to start over. Many of them ended up totally obliterating the curves in all of the underclass bio courses in various Los Angeles community colleges.
CUDA-accelerated genetic-algorithm demo with simplest examples
Using NodeJS + Glitch for front-end and C++ + home computer as backend, I'm serving hundreds of gigaflops of compute power for simple genetic-algorithm tests online.

It takes a bit more than 1 minute to find non-collision positions for 128 particles on 2D space, using 128 CUDA threads per DNA (that is made of 256 genes for coordinates) and 1500 DNAs as population. It uses all GPUs in server's PC to distribute the work.
Since I'm hosting the backend from home computer, this part is not always enabled.
It's not giving away money. There is clear goal of getting more money back than they gave.
The PC industry has been scroogling users on I/O since the late 2000's, the main entity to blame is Intel with its vainglorious plan to take over the complete BoM for PCs. Now AMD is at the center of the phenomenon.

Although you can find a Bayesian answer for this which I am not qualified to calculate, it's irrelevant. The most pressing issue is not to dismiss it as zero probability as has been until know because it is viewed as a conspiracy. Even if the probability is very small we have to dig in deeper to prevent the next catastrophe.

I didn't mean to imply that Tolkien opposed translations.

Maybe I'm being a bit naive, but intuitively I would think that most writers do not write a book with the explicit intention of the book being translated. The first intended audience is typically readers in the original language.

This is opposed by producing a series for Amazon, where it is mostly clear that the intended audience is world wide, talking many languages (in particular if it is about such a famous topic). And I wouldn't be surprised if this fact does impact the production of a work.
I mean, it's not as if these companies care for customers like you anyway. What they want is someone who is willing to purchase their product w/o making a fuss about the negative parts of their business. In fact, I bet LastPass is happy you left.
One commenter questions whether generals and armies were capable of the advanced math implicated by the harmonic transfer method.

But they don't have to do any advanced math. They just take food for the fleet from a single donkey and turn that donkey around as soon as his food supply equals the food necessary for the return trip. Rinse and repeat. Right?

The reality does get a bit more complicated because at least one guide is required for each donkey, so you really don't want to lose a man for every donkey that turns back, and instead do the maneuver in groups. You also need to feed the return guide.

Optimizing under those conditions gets a lot more complicated I think.

You could also use this logic for sherpa-assisted mountain climbing.
I mean, it's probably not as clean as you'd like, but it's a ~15 minute exercise in google sheets. Hint: Use the =GoogleFinance command.

Lump Sum is just the rate of return from that date * initial investment.
DCA is just that same lump sum equation but done/averaged out as many times as you've DCAed.

One thing to note is that payment systems are never supposed to store the CVC number, so a data breach shouldn't include that number if the vendor does things correctly. This does make it slightly different to being a 'longer card number'.

In the UK, they also have additional verification steps, which can cause some issue when they go async to a payment system that expects to get a verification immediately.

I've had Apple take payment twice because the 2FA verification text took too long to come through from a phone order for collection and I ended up buying the item in the store.

Cygwin is extremely lightweight, it's basically just a library implementing the POSIX syscalls, and native win32 apps linked to it.

Since it's so lightweight, you can have, use, and throw away as many cygwin envs (folders) as you like.

It doesn't require any Windows subsystem, hypervisor, admin rights, Linux distribution or anything, and will even work on an XP machine should you need it.

Finally: much less bloat to run and store.
In India, all online transactions require providing an OTP sent to mobile. Retails transaction require entering PIN on the terminal. You can make transactions below 5000 INR using NFC swipe, but that is optional and can be disabled.

UPI, India's smartphone/app based payment system also requires entering a PIN to make the payments.

The CVC essentially is an extension of the card number that is only required when making purchases when the physical card is not present.

The CVC is smaller in size and located on the rear of the card to defeat snooping via over the shoulder/cctv/cameras..
I'd be really curious to know how much the move to passkeys has factored into this. I imagine it's an immediate threat to existing password managers.
Senior Engineers Are Living in the Future
> Listen to a Thiel interview and you’ll notice how often he reframes the question before answering. When he speaks, he skips between perspectives faster than a game of hopscotch. He says things like “One version of this is…” or “You could say that…” He has an uncanny ability to consider cultural trends and investment trades from a diversity of perspectives.

While Thiel did not practice very long as a lawyer, he was on track for a sterling career in that field (Stanford, appellate clerkship, S&C). I suspect his ability to see the same thing from myriad perspectives drove that success.

> 3. a minor corrosion issue [1] being found with the welds in one of the newer plants, leading the power plant operator to stop all similar plants for safety reasons to be manually inspected.

Minor? Your link is outdated. EDF was forced to prolong the shutdowns recently [1].

> (1) and (2) are absolutely going to clear up by winter.

It will, but the drought is likely to reappear next summer, which is why not just the spot electricity market is bananas but also the futures market. Additionally, there is the very real potential of further issues cropping up - the French plants are almost all extremely old [2]

> Unfortunately anything involving nuclear safety makes people freak out and require 100% reliability, even when it's absolutely irrational to do so and causes more human deaths.

Well, the problem with nuclear is that even a tiny fuck up has the potential to irradiate a large region for decades. We still can't eat game or shrooms in Bavaria without checking them for radiation levels, and that over 35 years after Chernobyl.

The interface could use a lot of work: ie search for cards and logins should not be separate. It also visually doesn’t look great.
Have you undergone a security audit like Bitwarden? Why would I trust you instead?

I'm (casually) looking to move off LastPass. Padloc looks pretty good, but I'm hesitant to go with an 'unproven' solution.
Well, the thing is, we have nice things now. I don't think most bitwarden users are screaming for new features. Simply continuing as they are with current staffing would be preferable to risking the farm with a big new product.

And the kind of user that picks bitwarden over LastPass or 1Password is not the kind that needs a ton of support.
If you can't recompile your application then you are already fucked for security regardless of static or dynamic linking.

And even for vulns in libraries, to me, recompiling and shipping an update is a more trustworthy approach than just hoping that my users are getting library updates from their OS vendors.
It seems like the situation has resolved itself, at least the posting is not grey anymore.

I think that being pro-nuclear actually can make sense until there is enough renewable capacity installed. Its IMHO better than firing coal and generating more CO2. Also we already have nuclear waste, so we are already in a unfavorable situation and producing some more is probably the better tradeoff than ruining our climate. In my opinion, the safety of these power plants is, however, the biggest pain point that is not solved and will likely never be.

We still should work towards renewables so nuclear power can become a thing of the past.

I hate this illusion that web programming is the whole of software development.
I moved back to Finland after years in the USA, and found out that credit cards from Finnish banks now require a 2FA system for online payments. It works fine. The online purchase enters a short flow with my bank, they send a request to the bank’s app on my phone, I approve it there and the purchase flow returns to the vendor’s site.

Everything about banking in the USA was seemingly decades behind my experiences in Northern Europe, so it may take a while for American banks to figure out credit card 2FA… (They still regularly use paper checks in America. Bank transfers don’t exist. Many operations require a visit to a bank branch, of which there are absurdly many. I’m surprised they didn’t have mechanical calculators.)

Clasp: A Common Lisp implementation using LLVM for compilation to native code
Even if it was, CERN aren't going to suck up power and thus raise prices while there's still going to be a supply crunch elsewhere. A huge amount of gas usage for direct heating needs to be displaced with electric in the near term, so it's a good look for CERN to do their part and a good use of government money to not compete with the citizenry.
I tried bitwarden, and went back to 1Password. My ecosystem needs to be a bit independent for apple, just in case Apple starts acting like google, and locking users out of their accounts forever. The apple keychain has a really awful interface (surprising for apple) and family management is poor.
Idk I put up with the same from them? Friends put up with making fun of each other and don't get butthurt like that.

To improve your debugging, improve your mental model of the system you're tackling. The more you know about the state and flow of data at every point, the more you can reason about what's going on. I'm a particularly average programmer who is actually quite slow at banging out new code but I have fixed very difficult bugs in cloud deployments, libraries, firmware and realtime industrial systems just by laser focusing on what the system should be doing.
Organize. You are right. However, there is no easy solution for one individual. Right now you have zero bargaining power.

Together with the rest of the workers in your location you would have a bit of power. You would likely win concessions, though also a good chance of them closing your location entirely. Bringing in your higher paid coworkers could be quite strong, but that might be a tough sell.

Organizing with many others across your country and you might start getting somewhere. Transnationally, even more.

Best wishes.

> How would the scientists of the future ask for funding if it turns out they themselves directly caused an epidemic? It is a black eye for science, it provides ammunition to the "anti-science" crowd.

The real black eye for science is the refusal to consider a line of inquiry because the answer might be unacceptable.
It's interesting to see the tone change. Some similar points being rasied, but without the "1Password is the anti-christ" tone of previous discussions.

I agree that application logic goes into the application, but data integrity is NOT application logic.
Does anyone know if the Java hyperbolic tree visualization they were showing (or a similar implementation for the JVM) is still available, either open source or as a library on Maven Central?
3 hours worth of batteries charged by solar and wind and if that runs out a turbine burning green hydrogen.

The link I gave you goes into extreme detail on this and is based on historical data of exactly how often such windless nights occur and what the Texas grid demands overnight.

It then works out the cheapest combination of solar/wind/battery/etc.
The Programmers Guide to Learning New (Spoken) Languages
I’d be curious to hear what issues you were having before this principled workflow and how it improves consistency. Is it because apps have all adopted the Disney shader specifically? Partly wondering because the specific shader parameters you mentioned, base color, metallic, and roughness were standard in CG/VFX production 15 years or more before this paper was written. (I wrote shaders at PDI back then.) They didn’t mean exactly the same thing from app to app, but I think today if we’re not talking about the Disney BRDF, they still don’t mean the same thing from app to app since they’re not physical parameters.
No you can invest weekly in most apps.

How about 1.2Mb of JS?
Interesting article I found.

I wonder if there would be a way to have “sum models” so you can have the happy path recipe plus one of the exceptions so a single API lets you only see the exceptions you care about, not all of them… although that way the API consumer needs to be prepared to receive a new, unknown exception, so you need to have either a higher level of abstraction (as mentioned in the link) or an interactive session with the API where you can do something akin to common lisp conditions: receive an unwound exception and return a way forward for the new exception. (sorry for the ramble; on phone)
Are there any funds that specifically seek to spread exposure across multiple sectors of the economy?
I would suspect the same thing applies. Two companies are making agreements that affect a third parties ability to freely market their services. Non-compete clauses in employee contracts are in many countries not legally binding because they affect the employees ability to freely market their services. And in some countries where they are valid, they're are often very strict requirements on what can be put in the clause. I've literally had multiple contracts with non-compete clauses, not a single one was valid.

Clauses such as "If you hire this person you owe us X for an introduction fee" however would be more likely to be valid.
In Turkey, where I live, online transactions require 2FA. An sms is sent for you to enter the pin or a notification is sent to your online banking app asking for approval. I thought this was a standard procedure in online banking.
He knows perfectly well there is zero chance JS is going to be retired. It certainly has some serious flaws but the ecosystem is only growing richer by the day. Typescript plus React/Svelte/Vue etc is an extremely productive development experience.

In order to displace an entrenched technology it's not enough to be marginally better. You need to be an order of magnitude more productive to get people to pay the switching costs. None of the proposed JS replacements meet that criterion.
Ugh, I'm paying for LastPass because I haven't gotten around to switching to Bitwarden yet. They list a monthly price, but they actually charge you annually, so you're essentially locked in for a year (if you want to make the most of your money).

Three young men I work with got myocarditis from the vaccine. In each case, the emergency room staff didn't believe that it was a vaccine injury. In each case, they called it "anxiety" and sent them home. Only later were they able to find doctors willing to call it vaccine injury, but who knows how much damage was done in the meantime with the condition left untreated.

The point is, this isn't rare, and you are not alone.
