You can just return arbitrarily large arrays or whatever, but this is probably not what you want because it's a separate implementation from the one that takes an allocator. I think if FBA works then you have the building blocks to make one that does not fail by running out of memory e.g. by doing the FBA thing but getting a bigger backing array whenever you need it.

Overall I am not the right guy for this conversation because I am too used to never calling mmap at runtime either.
Let’s not forget IQ, people with low IQ are very marginalized in the field of physics and mathematics.

Seriously diversity is a mind virus at this point. North america is one the the most diverse, just equitable place that ever existed in the history of humanity.
But I was told "we will see these amateur-hour mistakes being made for as long as crypto exists in its current form," it sounds like the "crypto experts" they're hiring make that false.

From my experience the shops using esoteric languages aren't recruting based on knowledge of a specific tool. They're hunting for very experienced candidates. It's assumed you'll learn the language. Knowledge of a specific language does not necessarily mean you're a good developer.

> I am gay. Prove me wrong.

The weird thing about this is that you're relying on a clear sense of your own identity (that you are not gay, because if you were you wouldn't challenge someone to prove you wrong, you'd just say it) to deny the value of other people doing the same thing, but with a different answer.

To wit: you're yelling about your own sexuality in an argument about how we shouldn't have to hear about someone else's. You know how all those woke folk talk about "privilege"? That's what privilege is. Trans kids don't get to say stuff like that on the internet, only straight guys.
It's useful due to convenient notation. Otherwise, you'd need to write a separate program that generates the code and call it using a separate Makefile target. (And in that case, you might check in the generated code; this is commonly done for Go packages, so that downstream dependencies don't need to run the code generator tools.)

Adding a compile-time parameter to a function is considerably more convenient than writing a code generator. Zig's compile-time performance might be a problem someday, but there is likely not enough Zig code yet for this to matter. Perhaps they'll add caching if it ever turns out to be an issue.
Now that's vintage.
Ever is a very long time. Let's not dismiss it out of hand. We've already reached this far in 10 years from AlexNet, who knows where we will be in 10, 20, 30 years at this rate.
A major challenge will be keeping researchers from simply treating the requirement as another box to tick or fobbing the work off on minority scientists, Hodari says. “That’s often people’s first ask,” she says, “to find anyone they think can help them and ask, ‘Do this for us.’” Hodari, who is Black, says she experienced such treatment when she was a postdoc. Much has been written about what actually succeeds in promoting diversity, she says, but it’s the researcher’s responsibility to read the material and take it seriously. “You just got to do your homework,” she says. “I don’t expect someone in middle school to walk into a quantum field theory class and understand tensor math, right?”

How do we end up with someone who was subject to the behaviour we want to avoid, coming up with a set of policies that can be gamed in the way we want to avoid?
But do you need to pressurize it? Only the crew space needs that which could be a small/short tube in the middle right behind (and including) the cockpit.

The fuel tanks don’t care. They’re not pressurized on a normal design. The cargo may not need it either.
A gram or so of silver per kW is the rarest component of PVs, and the total ammount of (recyclable) silver per year the PV industry uses is going down even as production increases. The copper is less than a commensurable amount of steam generation. Silicon refining energy is a hundredth or so of output and declining rapidly steel in a nuclear reactor outmasses the silicon and has a lower but rapidly closing energy requirement. Frames can be aluminium or even wood. The glass outmasses steel in a nuclear reactor, but not concrete, and has a lower carbon footprint than concrete and is reusable.

Wind uses copper and niobium, neither of which are essential to the concept. The copper is currently more than steam generation, but some can and is being swapped for abundant aluminium. Magnet free stators are being worked on extensively and are close to cost competitive. Steel use of the largest turbines is competitive with nuclear so iron alloying materials are a wash.

Nuclear uses zirconium, uranium, cadmium, silver, and a variety of other exotic elements as well as the copper for the steam turbines. It is difficult to find out how much, but back of the envelope (0.1% of the fuel assembly being control rod so 0.2g/GJ) would indicate it's more constrained by silver and cadmium than PV is by silver. Plus it is high level waste at end of life and you need it all up front.

The only question is whether the concrete in wind is worth the CO2 as this is the only resource where nuclear wins.
Absolutely agree. It’s tragic.

Shoving SignalFx down our mouths and trying to get us to create “metric” indices was the straw that broke my back.
No one is expected to really believe that schedule. It's just an imaginary number so that they can get Congress to allocate enough money to start the development program. Just the way the game is played.

And I don't even blame the Air Force for deliberately underestimating. They have a legitimate need for this aircraft and the existing fleet has been worked to death.

TL;DR

Our relationship with productivity is unhealthy and we are doing it to ourselves by trying to over-optimise (min-max) everything. Yet, when we realise that we are all mortals, nothing that we do really matters in the end.... which can be both scary, but also liberating.

There is also an awesome Time-management for mortals - https://dynamic.wakingup.com/pack/PKDAFBB

Its an anti-thesis to productivity (as much as the title sounds otherwise).

It linked me to an article on hemorrhoids.

Annexing is illegal per the UN Charter, and the Geneva Convention. Not only is there no annexing, formal or informal, mentioning it is an intentional distraction away from the war of aggression Russia had to commit first to create the conditions for the fake annexation.

Russia is also party to the Budapest Memorandum. They said they wouldn't do the very thing they are doing. It's clear Russia can't be trusted to make a peace agreement it'll actually keep. And as it has threatened global blackmail with nuclear weapons in order to remain unaccountable to the treaties (contracts) it's a party to, the world shouldn't trust it at all either. It's a threat to world peace.

I spent years using a tool called Clari that applied analytics to Salesforce and Office (email) to predict deal activity. When it worked, it was really good.

But it had a fatal flaw: relying on Salesforce meant relying on the data that sales people input. And I quickly learned that sales people hate reporting tools, update them only under duress, and generally fill the database with crap.

Perhaps it's different when you are selling subscriptions over a digital channel, but for classic B2B feet on the street deals, ugh.

> where Modi's administration basically admitted they were wrong

It is not at all an admission of wrong but a forced retraction due to circumstances. The Farm laws were actually extremely progressive of all laws passed by the Government. The issue was more to do with raising the spectre of the dead Khalistani movement and Terrorism spillover that India had to deal with in the 80s and 90s. India cannot afford a weak border with Pakistan at this juncture and with Punjab (border state) being the epicenter of protests did not make things any better. Repealing the Farm laws took India's agriculture backward by at least 2 decades [1] and [2] as the protests were orchestrated by wealthy farmers of Punjab, Haryana and to some extent UP. They are not representative of farmers across India, who are so poor that they could never have had the ability to organize large scale counter-protests. The consequence of repealing the farm laws have hurt the poor farmers whose grievances have gone completely unheard.

> Stifling communication and censoring the internet isn't what any just democratic ruler does, regardless of their party affiliation.

Isn't this exactly what Trudeau did when Farmers protested in Canada? By freezing their bank accounts and censoring channels that supported the protests? I have seen this exact thing done in multiple first-world "Democratic" countries with no one calling them out. Feels like "Democracy for thee — but not for me".

Why do you feel like neighborhoods need to be static in terms of racial composition, forever?

Science is science? Okay then. Is tech tech? It seems that there are more white and Asian people in tech, and Apple is hiring in RDU. Should they not hire the best technologists? Should those technologists not have homes in the area?

By “gentrifying”, it seems you just mean white people moving for their jobs. Why isn’t that allowed in your book? Have black people claimed the Durham area as theirs forever? What nonsense.

Let’s just speak openly: you’re part of the problem. Neighborhoods can’t get claimed by any given race. People can move where they want. Successful businesses adding jobs to a historically poorer area is a good thing, and you shouldn’t use silly code words like “gentrification” to signal that you don’t want whites moving into your town.
To be fair, their work is based on alpha-zero which is itself deeplearning on top of monte-carlo tree search, a search strategy.
Having played with those algorithms, I suspect that one could obtain similar results with a solid Monte-Carlo tree search implementation (a lot of them use ucb which is really suboptimal)
It actually does sound silly to me. I just don't understand what you mean. Not in general, but in this particular case. If I'm searching for "reverse a list in python" — rest assured, I do know how to reverse a list, most likely in Python too, I'm just looking for most idiomatic way to do that (so, standard library function or syntax construct) and it just so happens that the answer on StackOverflow is usually more straightforward and easier found (by search engine, at least) than in the docs (and in Python it would be a syntax construct indeed, which usually complicates finding what you need in the docs even for the languages with much better docs than Python). So why would I care if I wasn't forced to invent my own way to reverse a list? I'm glad I was able to google it!

If it's actually something relatively high-level or language agnostic — which is when I would have to "understand what I'm trying to do" — chances are indeed higher that I'll find a solution in Python, than that I'd find a solution in OCaml, but the thing is, I don't really care what language I'll find it in, as long as I am able to read it. I just have to get the idea, then I'll write it in any language I can write.

One might respond that "well, not being able to copy-paste it is the all difference it makes", but, seriously, there might have been like 2 cases in my entire life (that's 15+ years of programming) when I just copy-pasted something from stackoverflow (I think I actually remember those cases — these were indeed very specific situations, some stupid language quirks, and workarounds for them really should've been implemented in the standard library; and TBH, I didn't even really care how they work, as long, as they work — these were not your typical programming problems). Otherwise, I just don't find it very applicable: there's always some difference between stackoverflow solution and what/how you want to do. So you read the code to get the idea, then you go and write it yourself.

Ok, there are also CSS problems, I copied styles plenty of times. But that's different. And I have to change colors and stuff in the end anyways.
I think there are 2 interesting points here:
> pour in buckets of time without much benefit

In this case, it becomes procrastination

> there's always more you could do and you never reach a clear stopping point

Do we need to do more and procrastination is just a signal that we don't want to do something
It wasn't Boeing that was trying to save money themselves- it was Boeing trying to save airlines money. There are hundreds of thousands of people today who can fly a 737, and mechanics who can fix a 737, etc. The airlines wanted to get the better fuel efficiency from modern engines on a plane that everyone already knew how to fly and fix. Boeing actually started with a clean sheet design, tried to pitch it to airlines, the airlines didn't bite, so Boeing gave them what they wanted- the same plane but more fuel efficient. It was a huge fiasco, but it was about leveraging the advantage Boeing had in users, not saving on development costs.
Ah, yes. If there's one thing that can solve racial injustice it's mindless bureaucracy.
meaning lots of ACLs on both sides of the api server, or meaning lots of better (simpler, more secure) ways to do it?
Skin color, the link is an article you know, not just a headline. It's requiring grant recipients to have a plan on how they will include more people of color in their research. It has to be real and specific as well, otherwise it would just be "bullshit" as one of the articles quoted advocates terms anything less serious.

Personally I think it's strange to force a rather arbitrary inclusivity metric into scientific research.
Yeah, C# has some shortcuts these days of the form x <symbol>= y that compile as x = x <symbol> y. They are an actual advantage as x only needs to be stated once and it is absolutely clear that is assignment into the value--more information readily communicated with fewer characters. It also has the null coalescing operator ??. Put those together and you can have x ??= y (if (x = null) x = y;)--useful for lazy initialization and it can be returned, making lazy initialization getters much clearer. This looked awfully similar, I was trying to figure out how you could negate null coalescing.
"If we get this grant we will fire our overrepresented Chinese postdocs and replace them with black people."
How condescending. A great quality when giving advice on how to hire and trust people.
I don't know why I went and spent my valuable time looking into this but it seems like there's a good reason. Though to be clear from where I'm standing it looks like Keffals is kinda a piece of shit too, but I don't think she's explicitly saying people should be killed [0]. Just from that video clip this dude is dogwhistling some fascistic leanings so probably good riddance. I don't think I've ever encountered a single instance of where someone was referred to as a "groomer" in a way that wasn't shorthand for "I believe LGBT people don't deserve the same rights as everyone else."

Your plan of action isn't inconsistent:

> Researchers seeking funding from the United States’s single biggest funder of the physical sciences will now have to think about how they can structure their own efforts to promote greater participation by researchers and students of color and from other underrepresented groups.

ie. If a well endowned university that was recieving DoE grants were to underwrite the expansion of education and scholarships programs at pre-K, elementary, and middle schools within their intake catchment areas to be more inclusive of people diverse in background,

then they can submit that activity as evidence of their efforts to expand the divisity of the researcher pool.

Granted it's an approach that takes years to bear fruit .. but it's the kind of approach that actually works and happens within the education sector of other countries that seek to lift all citizens access to education that matches their ability.

Of course, this smacks of five year (and ten year (and fifteen year)) planning .. so, communism | socialism. etc.
fn is consistent with Rust, I think it's fine.
I think it's supposed to be cached in the same manner other things are cached, but the caching does not work great for us so far (and this may be because we are stuck on stage1 due to heavy use of async).

I have had comptime lookup table generation and similar stuff crash the compiler or take a long time to run. I fell back to external code generators in these cases.
People theoufht the same with advancements in agritech 150 years ago. If 30% of the population isn't out in the fields, they'll be unemployed forever. Turns out we invent new jobs all the time.

Whether they're worth taking Vs doing something more similar to your current job but for a bit less money is an individual's choice, of course.
You need money to staff people with security knowledge that constantly keeps product up to date with latest malicious signatures in all codebases.

This is why only commercial company can build a great product. The constant cat and mouse game between threat actors and defenders/researchers. Every new malware/trojan/cryptominer strain needs to be found, identified, signature written, and all clients need tk get latest signatures asap, and product has to work flawlessly with as few false positives as possible

> We also tend to treat separatists differently, depending on where and who they are... Kosovo people want to be independent, let them be independent, and think later how to (re)paint nato as a purely defensive organization, when the nato bombings of yugoslavia are over.

Wanting to separate is one thing, being the subject of a credible ethnic cleansing campaign is another.
I imagine if this system was in place, then they likely wouldn't have written letters to start with.
I’d probably footnote out Kotlin as preferable for greenfield projects over Java. Maybe F# as well (and all CLI languages, by extension) since intermixing them as needed in a solution is largely effortless. Otherwise, I fully agree with your comment.
Isn't 'fn' pretty widely used as function? I've seen 'fn' the most among fun|func|fn.
It's even cheaper to not have any employees at all, if that's your goal.
Speculation, but I think the most straightforward read of that statement is not about preventing this type technology from negatively impacting society broadly (since as you and others pointed out, there are numerous similar actors creating similar systems), but Google doesn't want to the bad publicity or legal risk of problematic outputs of their models. I think they're terrified to be honest.
The big thing is the macro language is restricted to generating additional code when it's evaluated whereas compile time expressions are more about reducing expressions into literals.
I suppose if you killed the people in the kitchen and stood in the sink I would be forced to consider what you’re saying even if I disagree.
To add some context (not refute), the mainstream media stories (Yahoo, WaPo, NyPost, Free Beacon) I've read that talk about this all reference this same report: https://safeguarddefenders.com/en/blog/230000-policing-expan.... It's a lengthy topic I am curious about but have no background in. But for context my understanding is these claims come from a pan-Asian human rights watchdog NGO based out of Spain.

I was curious and looked up whether there was an address or vague location RE: the claim that there is one such police station in NYC and didn't find one though I did skim through ~50% of the PDF by Safeguard.
LOL, sorry but this is bull.

The Sun is hitting the Earth continuously with about 173,000 TW of power [1].

Even with the most optimistic sci-fi scenario with 24/7 nuclear power for everybody on Earth, it would be barely noticeable.

Requiring diversity doesn't really solve the problem. Now instead of a small group of rich white people living in the same neighborhoods and going to the same parties and keeping the funding and opportunities away from the rest of the unwashed masses it will be a small group of mixed races of people doing the same.

The ultimate issue is the cronyism of Science.

This reminds me of the fact that 80% of new hire professorships already come from only 20% of schools.

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2022/09/23/new-study-fin...

Anything that is regulated by the government tends towards cronyism instead of competence over time because they have an endless flow of taxpayer money so no competence is needed to keep the money flowing.
Distribution is key. I've used some mind blowing betas from AI LLM startups recently who just put disclaimers on potential content issues. They are amazing and don't get a ton of use. The fact Google has seemingly the best product (just not releasing until they're ready) and over 3 billion users makes me think getting the world to use won't be an issue.
To my eye 'public function main' is a lot better than 'pub fn main'. It is also lot more clearer when you have to read out code phrases out loud.
