1) There is much more to the interactive development experience than the REPL. As mentioned in the article, the debugger and inspector are key parts of this workflow.

3) It's not that software is released too far apart, it's that the release of software is out of the hands of developers, and packaged by a third party with dependencies that may not even be API compatible with the developer's software. Since there is no versioning dependency management for Quicklisp to leverage, all it can do is try to build your software in isolation, not check compatibility with dependencies, and certainly not runtime compatibility.

Layered ignorance and incompetence from years of exponential growth, and linear education. I would also hazard a guess that the general disdain for understanding context and proven tech is another major factor.

I'm looking forward to the next decades, there's a demographic collapse on the horizon, global supply chain are weakening. The incentives to bring back manufacturing onshore will increase and that will require full understanding and will likely put constraints on supply anyway, just less so than a total collapse. Software will have to adapt and get all the compute results to a much better power efficiency.

Okay so how would they describe someone's height?

For example, telling a story about their daughter who has grown quickly and is now "almost [n units] tall"? Are you saying they would use centimeters and expect their listener to know what "184 cm" looks like?

I'm not saying metric people use "5 foot 9", but it's common in my country (Australia) at least to use "6 foot" because that's a nice easy rounded benchmark. In metric height, there is no benchmark until 2 metres tall, which is a rare height even for men.
https://www.agner.org/optimize/instruction_tables.pdf, search for MXCSR (LDMXCSR and STMXCSR instructions).

Keep in mind that twiddling these flags is going to require saving the MXCSR register to memory, or'ing or and'ing bits in memory, and then reading that memory back into MXCSR. And both saving and reading the MXCSR requires stalls, because floating point operations both read and write that register. So you require, minimum, 4 L1 cache hits and 2 partial pipeline flushes to twiddle a MXCSR bit.

(As far as I'm aware, modern microarchitectures generally don't register-rename the floating-point status register.)

I think dataflow mechanisms are really interesting, but I don't see them as being something easy to build a complex system on. I stated this very clearly, saying "complex implicit reactive effects seem fragile and difficult to debug and reason about".

If you're building something that is heavily focused on computing values rather than more event driven effects I could see a reactive system being more useful and appropriate though.

I'd love to hear from developers/teams who have built complex systems with a reactive framework (Solid, Signals, etc) to hear about the upsides and downsides of doing so.

As for Cinavia, if you shift the pitch of the music, you can cause the player to stop recognizing the track.

NASA’s budget for 2022 is about $24 billion or roughly $145-$150 per working person.

Perhaps a lot of money depending on what you think should be prioritized. personally I think it’s hard to argue that they aren’t delivering something of high value to humanity, especially recently with the success of the JWST. And maybe very especially compared to other agencies.

Yeah, I think the query-able knowledge engine is the key here, although I think it’s maybe more like “we haven’t figured out how to generalize conceptual learning”. The computer not only has to be able to query images on the internet, but also know how/what to query, which includes a bunch of actions computers are currently incapable of. In some cases, we might complete a drawing task by traveling to a new place, or taking an action (throw an egg at concrete) not querying the internet.

The lack of versioning and dependency management is pretty dumb I'm not going to lie. I didn't expect that from a package manager.

> It's not that software is released too far apart, it's that the release of software is out of the hands of developers, and packaged by a third party with dependencies that may not even be API compatible with the developer's software.

Perhaps there are some cases where this is a problem, but in general, I firmly believe that having separate packagers is a good thing[1]. It can be annoying at times, but much more comfortable for the end user.

An explicit goal is that running a validator at home for the enthusiast should be feasible. A couple of days total downtime per year for an individual validator should approximately only miss out on the rewards it would have generated by being available for the same period. Penalties increase non-linearly with downtime and number of validators unavailable at the same time (meaning assuming all else equal, being down for 100h at once is worse than being down 1h/d for 100 days, and a whale with 10 validators going down for 10h at the same time will lose more than an individual validator going down 10h at 10 different occasions. This is not contingent on those validators being attributable to the same entity)

If you have monitoring that alerts you for updates and when your node is unresponsive and can respond to downtime requiting intervention within a day or two you should still end up ETH-positive.

Using Google shopping, there is a filter you can select which limits search to local stores. I used it recently to find a life vest for my toddler at a local sporting goods store. I've used it for various other things too (like printer paper and alcohol camp stove fuel). I think it works much better than what the article proposes for general merchandise. The book plugin is pretty cool though.
I once got on a call with MATLAB compiler engineer and had him fix a bug in an afternoon. I should have written a blog post about it but it is too late, I have very little recollection of the details. It was kinda awesome though. How often can you do just call up someone to fix the compiler. To be fair, I worked for a very large Fortune 50 company and had over 10k licenses of MATLAB.

Also, it is interesting that outside of SV and HN crowd, we thought MATLAB is awesome. We had all the toolboxes, there is a gazillion of them. Even obscure RF related stuff. You just can't find a library for something like a phased array analysis. May be you can, but it won't be as high quality and industry proven as this: https://www.mathworks.com/products/phased-array.html

Another topic that we often understood is that when a jet engine is hoisted up for testing and you need to get something fixed or have a question about in next 2 hours, you need commercial software support to help you out. Gravity of situation cannot be understated. It is stressful. There is OSS software support, but MATLAB is on another level. Absolutely outstanding support. Companies like Apple and SpaceX rely on MATLAB heavily outside of software engineer orgs.

Overall, A+. Will use again.

Am I reading it wrong, or does the article say that 90% of _accounts_ are pro-Ukrainian, 7% pro-Russian?

Section 3.0 describes how they got the dataset (all tweets in a timeframe with a "#IStandWith[Ukraine|Russia|Zelynskyy|Putin]" hashtag).

Section 3.1 describes how they assign national 'lean' to the accounts in their entire dataset; that's the section that has the 90%/7% numbers.

Section 3.2 describes how they quantify bot activity in their dataset, using a program called BotoMeter to apparently run regression on accounts in the dataset.

Section 4 gives the average botometer scores by national lean. This is the oddest of all, since the botometer scores for both sides are roughly equal.

It seems to imply that Ukraine and Russia both had bot armies that were roughly equal in proportion to the total number of accounts favouring their national camp, despite the huge disparity in the size of the national camps (90% vs 7%). Which seems odd.

[Edit: to clarify: I may have missed it but the paper doesn't seem to give a clear statement on %bot/country anywhere.]

All this article really does is make me curious about botometer accuracy and the usefulness of a 'IStandWith*' filter for doing a study like this.

Micro-Abrasive Blasting: Etching Surfaces Cheaply and Without Chemicals (2014)
Yup. For the (downvoting) peanut gallery: aka "political economy". Obama Admin's compromises wrt ACA reform vs jobs has been written about.

Another example of political economy is two different efforts to address climate crisis, with very different outcomes.

During the Obama Admin, the push was for carbon taxes. Wonks loved it. Logical, concise, moral. Complete nonstarter. Because carbon taxes has no built-in constituency that's willing to advocate and defend it.

Whereas in 2020, progressives pushed "green new deal" themed industrial policy and investment strategy. Made most everyone a benefactor. Millions of jobs. 100s of billions of dollars. Much better political economy.

A journal also makes it much faster to jump back into a productive state after that inevitable interruption. (That interruption could be a meeting, or an emergency that forces you to drop everything and work on a higher-priority issue for several days.)

You can also refer back to your journal to remind yourself how you fixed that similar problem months ago.

Of course, a journal doesn't have to be limited to debugging. It's useful for development too.

To add, humans emit a lot of moisture just by breathing. Also, modern code limits how much air can leak out of a house. It’s those leaks in old homes that let them survive without moisture control, because that leaked air would carry the moisture away.

How long did it take computers to hit the market after Babbage's computing machine?
I just ran across MPEG-4 SLS [1] (née "AAZ" for "Advanced Audio Zip", aka HD-AAC), which is a lossless format on top of AAC's MDCT, and which is patented, unfortunately.

That led me to other coders: DTS-HD Master Audio [2] (née DTS++) and OptimFROG DualStream [3].

OptimFROG's DualStream mode is similar to WavPack's hybrid mode, and DTS-HD MA uses DTS Coherent Acoustics (based on ADPCM), so none of these are based on a perceptual lossy codec besides MPEG-4 SLS.

(Sorry to keep replying here, I keep stumbling on interesting things after the edit window closes)

The problem is we're continuing to encourage open air street usage of drugs (for example by giving out bags of needles). For safe consumption sites to be accepted, that should stop.

Additionally, it helps to have more frequent cleanups of trash around the site, giving local residents a hotline, more regular police patrols of the surrounding blocks, etc.

European countries have different systems in place. Some of them, you can actually get drugs prescribed by a doctor. This is more sensible than relying on the "market" to provide drugs.

I graduated from a liberal arts college in 1986, math + physics major. In virtually all of the courses that I took, rote memorization by itself was of limited usefulness on the exams -- certainly not sufficient to get a good grade. Many years later I taught a couple of college courses, and noticed that the students who focused on memorization, also had the weakest grasp of the subject matter, and often did the worst on the exams.

My own grades had their ups and downs for various reasons, but when I finally hit my stride, it was with the realization that sufficient memorization would occur as a natural consequence of the work needed to understand the subject matter.

Being able to search for information only gets you so far. Imagine reviewing a design or proposal, or engaging in a technical discussion, if you have no domain knowledge. Have you ever seen a non technical manager try to bluff their way through a technical meeting?
