Templating is built in.

It doesn't maintain state between requests, and that is a perfect match for HTTP.

It's easy and fast to deploy. You don't need to restart things or think about reusing ports to update without downtime.

It's easy to sandbox, making hosting very cheap compared to most other languages.

It's basically "serverless" with really good startup times.

It has better performance than most other interpreted languages.

It has support for many functions that many other languages would require a dependency for.

Development speed quite fast as a result of the large amount of included things.

You can to some degree decide if you want to use strict types, or just ignore it.

It has a large ecosystem with multiple great, feature rich, and battle tested frameworks.

It's has very good backwards compatibility, and it's easy to upgrade large code bases to newer version.

It's documentation is the gold standard according to many.

While it's definetly not one of the coolest or most fun languages, it's definitely one of the greatest for the web. Doesn't PHP run something like 75-80 % of all websites today? Clearly it's doing something much better than others.

I have a hilly dirt driveway that doesn't get much sun. Snowblower generally doesn't get all of the snow, just most of it. I generally prefer winter gets cold, stays cold and then gets warm over changing temperature because the snow will melt partially and then refreeze into ice. Most cars with snow tires do OK on packed snow but ice is tough.

Once it gets frozen like this it pretty stays that way until spring or at least an extended warm spell. The amount of salt I would need is pretty cost prohibitive. I even tried breaking it up with a pry bar a few times and quickly realized that was an insane task. As you said I'd never spray the hill down with warmish water for fear of making the problem worse.
You are mistaken.

Knowingly starting taking mind-altering substances because you have a problem is NOT easy. That’s as simplistic as saying that “women who abort are just looking to have fun without consequences”. They usually do it because they are desperate and have exhausted all other options.

Here’s what went through my head when I put that first pill in my hand: “I might need to take this expensive drug every day for the rest of my life”, “I hope I don’t get nausea like with the previous one”, “How much will this change me? Will I still be me?”, “I am doing this for my family”.

Seriously, as a tech lead I take a lot of calls for help/advice from junior techs up through senior leadership. Cut all that off and see how long I still have a job.

I encourage use of "asynchronous" communication like txt and email and letting calls go to voicemail. Key item is to actually follow up on those things several times a day.

Finnish scholars have said that "Kalevala is a prison of folk poetry" because it has become a canon that sidelined everything else. Kalevala contains what was considered great poetry in the 1800s. It has been sanitized to match norms of that time. There is much more more material.

Even the Kanteletar, the sister opus for Kalevala compiled by Lönnrot has been ignored.

I'm always in favour of tools that help us find bugs earlier and with less effort, because in practice that's how we get fewer bugs, rather than just hoping everyone everywhere will be disciplined.

I disagree. Most bugs in code are entirely valid code. They're things where the developer has written great code that does the wrong thing. Those bugs will be impossible to catch with AI until the AI can understand the requirements, and that can't happen if the requirements aren't clear, and unclear requirements are the source of the bug in the first place. That can't be solved with AI. AI can only ever be as good as the input data. In software development the input data is usually a pile of crap.

If you choose to defer to AI rather than think about the code you write then you will write buggy code, but the AI won't tell you it's buggy because it'll look fine.

The way to build high quality software is to build things with thought and rigour, with good processes like analysing requirements and building tests to cover what the requirements state the code should do.
Trading systems are complex distributed systems. They need extremely high reliability and low latency, on enormous transaction volume.

There are lots of complex failure modes in a system like this, and minimizing them is an advanced skill. The learning curve for a competent generalist senior engineer to get good at these kinds of problems is significant. Designing and implementing a national securities exchange is a big deal.

This is a place where you want either experienced developers who have worked on other stock exchanges, or at least FAANG engineers who've worked on systems with analogous challenges. This is not a place you want to skimp on salary.
I thought this was really well done without any misleading oversimplifications. I do think the author missed the central trick of the Fourier Transform though. He's right in pointing out the sounds aren't a bunch of sine waves (typically), but the trick is that Fourier frequencies are cleverly chosen so they're all orthogonal (ie. you can't represent any of them in terms of the other). The complex number form turns out to give you one of the simplest representations of this set of frequencies.

I was wondering if anyone has a more rigorous explanation of the in-between frequencies part. I tried to follow this explanation from a great concise but rigorous book hosted online

https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos//dft/Frequencies_Cracks.html
https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos//proj/Bessel_Functions.html

but unfortunately in this section it seems to gloss over the proof (or maybe I don't get it). It just sorta tells you "Bessel functions"! Which isn't very satisfying - especially when you have no idea what a Bessel function is..

I have a problem where my signal (which has a bit of noise) has maybe one (or several) strong non-multiple frequency (I likely know their approximately values a-priori). There may be other frequencies but they shouldn't be close in the frequency space. What I expect to see is a similar spectrogram with this same ringing. But what I'd like to do next is work backwards and estimate the original frequency and most importantly the phase! Everyone talks about the frequency ringing but everyone skips explaining what happens to the phase.

And since I haven't been able to find a nice proof of the ringing, I haven't been able to work it out for myself either

Does anyone happen to have any good pointers for me? Thank you :)

> Why do we care about stack memory moves?

> Memory moves to the stack frequently represent wasted computation. For the most part, they're CPU cycles that are spent shuffling data from one place to another instead of performing useful work. Stack-to-stack memory moves in particular are very likely to represent pure overhead; non-stack-to-stack memory moves are sometimes genuinely useful and necessary but frequently also represent waste.

> myriad representatives the populace voted for

Unfortunately there is not much "myriad" in the candidate choices. To even reach a level of opportunity to compete in an election means to already sell out to some special interests. It just costs too much money to run with any hope of getting elected.

Both parties in the US cater to wealthy supporters, whether those supporters are actual humans, corporations as humans, or PACs. Those who want to protect their wealth spend a lot of money to ensure that all likely candidates will make or modify rules that benefit them.

It is very reasonable for us to direct our ire toward the wealthy individuals who make very public efforts to affect policies (very selfishly). And with the recent tally of $880 million spent by billionaires on the recent midterm elections, it's even more clear where we should direct our attention.

Why does the $800M settlement not count against the business under your accounting method? It happened.
From this perspective you can look at it as comparable to the dot product concept of 'how much' of this thing is in that thing. You can also think of it as a 'rotation' operation - a change of basis into the frequency domain. That insight I garnered from graphics pioneer James Blinn.

A related funky thing is that if you choose the right functions you can engineer the analysis to require only shifts and adds which was a boon for making bespoke compression schemes on limited hardware. An example is the Slant transform used in an early Intel video codec. IIRC the Hadamard transform was also similarly useful where the coefficients were all 1s and -1s. I also seem to recall that some modern codecs have modes that use transforms that avoid the traditional DCT.

One last thing, I might have dreamt this but I recall reading a NASA tech report from the 70s or 80s outlining a video compression scheme that used a non DCT approach that could be calculated with simpler hardware without multiplication. I remember thinking, wow they were out front but never commercialized that.

I think many people have burnt by the old Evernote. I've also almost stopped using them, and their new apps saved me as a customer.

Since many of the people who despised of Evernote never tried their new apps, and doesn't know what changed and how it works now.

It's still not perfect, and based on Electron, yet it's leaps and bounds better when compared to yesteryear, and it really works well for my case.

I think we need to see where it's going to go. As I said elsewhere, I don't want to abandon them when thinking how I use them, and hope that they don't do some drastic changes.

I'm considering as this hasn't happened, until the new changes start to rollout.

This is false. A very wide range of investments are allowed, including real estate and derivatives.
I've run into frustrating stack overflows in seemingly trivial non-recursive code, so I appreciate this effort!

I wonder if it might be simpler to track stack sizes statically instead of using runtime instrumentation. What I mean is, for example on x86_64, the function prologue has a stack reservation in the form of `sub rbp, 0x168`. So we can easily tell that the function uses 0x168 bytes of stack space. Just add those numbers up for every function in a crate, and you have a score. Track that number over time for a set of common crates.
In as much as "left-libertarianism" is a vehicle for anarchism, I agree with you. In practise I find most left-libertarians actually just want liberty from puritanical or religious morality, and/or "nanny state" restrictions. For most left libertarians (in practice), if you let them smoke weed and ride a bike without a helmet, they're good. The problem is that left libertarians are captured by economic libertarians who pitch their policies as anti-authoritarian, but who are actually fascists.
> Cross-compilation does definitely have some users, but is complex and prone to issues.

What complexity and issues? Everyone I know is developing their Amiga software, libraries, devices etc using things like bebbo gcc or vbcc on their PCs

> And we're far from a situation where these people don't care; LLVM m68k support was merged recently. It was an effort funded mostly by Amiga and Atari ST users.

Where can I find an LLVM build for AmigaOS m68k though? Not on Aminet I suppose anyone using that must be running it on a pc

I still use my Amiga constantly but I'm not going to pretend there's more than a handful of people actually running bleeding edge versions of GCC under AmigaOS 3.1

Just because they no longer support GCC builds for Amiga doesn't mean it won't be able to build for the target just that you won't be running newer versions of GCC under AmigaOS itself
There is so much to unpack there. You are conflating trade, value creation, money, government, and taxes in two sentences.

- Taxation can happen via either currency or goods.

- Governments manage societies, most happen to fund themselves via taxes.

It is simple, people have been processing forms with CGI-style tools for ages (php etc, even this website!). With modern web services the equivalent is to use zapier/pipedream or built in services like netlify forms.

The wording the article uses is intended to cause outrage at specific people, instead of the badly worded rules and/or the motivations of the people who enacted the rules.

> Yet, from the start, a small number of entrepreneurs, like Thiel, made an end run around the rules: Open a Roth with $2,000 or less. Get a sweetheart deal to buy a stake in a startup that has a good chance of one day exploding in value. Pay just fractions of a penny per share, a price low enough to buy huge numbers of shares. Watch as all the gains on that stock — no matter how giant — are shielded from taxes forever, as long as the IRA remains untouched until age 59 and a half. Then use the proceeds, still inside the Roth, to make other investments.

I wonder how the author determined PayPal had a “good chance of exploding in value”? Can they predict the future? Or is it using hindsight to make things seem less risky than they were.

Would you recommend a young person today to max out their Roth contribution with the equity of a startup they are working on?

The article also does not mention any of the downsides of Roth accounts.
Idea: GPU Compute Marketplace
That is an interesting paper, as is the co-morbidity of ADHD with epilepsy that they cite. It's also hopeful for some people suffering from ADHD because it is suggestive of the possibility of a more complete treatment for some.

However there's a general understanding of ADHD (and related disorders such as ASD) as a spectrum of conditions with multiple contributing factors. Depending on the person ADHD will manifest with more or less hyperactivity, distractability, working memory issues, and lacking emotional regulation (among other things). Different causes combine to give a somewhat amorphous disorder with a range of common symptoms.

So adding a new treatment with fewer downsides (because stimulants can have a few) is great, especially as it might treat aspects of the disorder that aren't treated by stimulants. But this doesn't mean stimulants won't still be relevant in the future.

There's there's also plenty of research showing specific dopamine receptor dysregulations as contributing to ADHD. See for example https://www.researchgate.net/publication/364120700_Dopamine_...

So unless the research also shows that this is caused by pyridoxine metabolism problems, these hypotheses can both hold at the same time.

Picking some paper that talks about different causes doesn't mean other causes aren't still relevant. It will probably be decades before we can definitively rule out contributing factors.

PS It's generalizations like yours that are very stigmatizing towards stimulant use. We already know many people benefit from them enormously and significant numbers are not getting or taking them due to stigma.

To expand the insight, you may see this video about Wavelets which relates them to the Fourier transform.
