"Researchers can detect 'toxic' small aggregates of a particular protein in the blood of individuals with Alzheimer's disease, as well as in individuals who showed no signs of cognitive impairment at the time the blood sample was taken, but who developed it at a later date. This blood test picks up oligomers -- or small, misfolded aggregates -- of the amyloid beta protein, which scientists believe triggers the development of Alzheimer's."
Why would they? This is just one of the many ways they take advantage of everyone else. Most phone snatchings aren’t happening in China so this is an easy way to reduce their import bill for phones.
If the server can work with just a text input and output stream, and then used as a coprocess, it can be written in anything that has basic I/O facilities.
If events have to be multiplexed from multiple sources, that's done outside of the server (and it is clear from the context diagram in the paper). The "Sensors" and "Object Tracking" are outside of the "Geo-Server" block.

In the diagram, the Geo-Server takes input from Object Tracking and produces some output as well as a Log. It also takes input from a User Interface, and produces output back to it. Because of that extra multiplexing complexity, a front-end harness layer could be developed: something which interacts with the User Interface, Log, Object Tracking and Deployment, and loads the Geo-Server as basically a plug-in.
It’s way overblown as air conditioning was a larger issue for the electric grid than EV’s will be. Average demand for an 15k mile per year EV is only 430 watts, and people don’t all fast charge them at the same instant. Generally people charge when costs are low because demand is low to save money.

Meanwhile everyone’s AC is going full blast at noon on a hot summer day meanwhile EV’s generally charge when rates are cheap.
While I don't use the tool (I use Windows Power Toys for my tiled window management) I have to give a shout out on the amazing github readme. That is lovingly complete and I wasn't left wondering how any of it worked.
For most normal humans, if they merely try a different style than what they are used to their performance would probably go down rather than up. After all, you'd have seen many common positions before and know most of the usual ideas for your chosen openings etc.

If someone suddenly plays a different style and also their move quality goes up significantly, that might be an additional indicator of cheating. All cheat detection works in a probabilistic fashion, since it is not allowed (and would be way worse) to actually observe players 24/7 in their home to verify whether they're cheating or not.
Nearly 30 years seems like plenty of time?

Many projects manage to accumulate plenty of tech debt in 30 months, without being a deliberate work-alike reimplementation of an existing system.. which I suspect means you're already starting with a certain amount of baggage.

1. EDLIN wasn't much different from the text editor I used on the PDP-10 just a few years earlier. Lots of people used EDLIN and saw no need for another. Also, Netscape was an extremely buggy browser - it crashed all the time. Explorer was far more reliable. It was better.

That's pretty bold statement considering USSR collapse was caused by economic weakness. It never was "second biggest industrial power " outside of it's own propaganda.
This middlebrow dismissal is way too broad and makes me suspect that your only interaction with social science is via popular media. You'd have a good point if you said "poorly done science" rather than "not science" and restricted your dismissal to the kind of n = 30 social psychology studies that get paraded around by journalists when they confirm their biases. But it's false as stated; even in psychology alone, there are many findings which can withstand scrutiny and replication, e.g.:

- Spaced repetition (you remember things longer if you space out your learning over time than if you cram).
- Primacy/recency (you usually remember the first and last items in a sequence better than items in the middle).
- Stroop effect (you respond slower when there are incongruent stimuli distracting you).
- Fitts's law (a model of human movement that can be used to develop better UIs).
- Strongly negative influence of sleep deprivation on mental performance.

And that's not to mention other social sciences such as economics.
I see these things as being disrespectful about snapd (happy to be proven wrong):

- apt install firefox and other packages actually install via snap on Ubuntu. My intent was to install via apt. It should prompt me instead of silently using a different tool with different implications. For example, my firefox profile was silently copied to another folder with zero notification, causing issues with my tooling.
- they're only now adding the ability to pause updates (an experimental feature!), after aggressively pushing snapd for years. Work arounds included telling the OS the Internet connection is metered, which sounds familiar. https://snapcraft.io/docs/keeping-snaps-up-to-date#heading--...
I feel disrespected when a tool imposes its own schedule on me and fights to enforce it. I appreciate that they added the Hold feature, but I feel the way we got it was due to continual, years long community push back. Reasonable defaults are fine. Let me edit them without fighting me.
- proprietary server implementation, only canonical gets to run one or modify behavior. Distros can't run their own. I get that this might reduce fragmentation. To me the disrespect comes from not giving me a choice.

To me it's fine to aggressively push a tech. What I take issue with is the apparent intent to reduce end user control. If my impression is wrong, I'll recant. At least snapd seems to have slowly improved, my nfs mounts actually work in most snap apps now...

>Kick functional logic programming out the lab and into the mainstream

Yet this presentation did none of that. There were no montivating examples on practical usage. The language does not map cleanly to webassembly, it instead reduces to a prolog like graph based execution model. In order to go mainstream you need to be solving more problems that existing languages have than you are creating by having someone use your new language.
As beautiful and powerful as that story was, it is still only my second favourite le Carre adaptation :)

Reading this I realized that dark matter is starting to sound somewhat like the idea of the "ether". It's everywhere, it affects everything, but we can't see it or interact with it easily. It's somewhat different than the idea of the ether in that it is not thought to be a homogenous, pervasive field; instead it clumps around gravity. But it has some very ether-like aspects, maybe some we have not discovered yet. I always thought we abandoned the idea of an ether too soon. Why does it have to be evenly spread? Why does it have to respond to things like direction or EM waves? Maybe there are some simple experiments that could explore the idea of an ether/dark matter further. Pure speculation but that is my intuition.
Strangers talking to each other have to add all the politeness and filler words in how they communicate not because they mean it but for purely utilitarian purposes. This is well understandood from both sides.

I don't believe there is any value in that kind of transparent fakeness so I don't mind humans losing that and if there exists some form of pride in being addressed with fake politeness and respect for doing ticket handling work, people need to lose it and find something better to do in life... because these jobs (and many more similar ones) are going away.

In a few years, we will end up with most of these being automatically processed supplemented by escalation when automatically resolving it is not obvious and random cross checks to control for fraud.

There is absolutely zero reason to not do that. I don't think a significant part of a human's life should be spent processing these tickets. This will free people to do better things. We have WAYYY too much to do.

That is an ARM laptop, which means you have an especially low chance of installing Linux easily. Get an x86 Chromebook and you would probably have less issue, but yes, you may still have some hardware issues (especially since Chromebooks have spotty desktop Linux support). Get an off-the-shelf x86 laptop and you probably would be fine; maybe you will have a few issues. But instead of faulting Linux, consider this? Could you install Windows on this same laptop? Probably not. In fact, on many laptops, hardware support is limited on Windows without vendor drivers (although, there is a chance that this has gotten less bad these days).

If you went and bought a used laptop that has official Linux support, like an XPS 13, then you could also open it, turn it on, and have it work with zero issues with Linux—the same way as a MacBook Air. Try Hackintoshing a random laptop from Best Buy and I think you will encounter similar issues with macOS.

I have used both SQS and PG-based queues and for the smaller workloads/smaller systems (read: "not very very large systems") I now prefer the latter. There is also a non-trivial amount of stuff that we turned out to need for operating SQS at scale on the application side, basically to compensate for the things SQS does not have. It is great it doesn't have those things, but if you have a smaller application you might want to have those things instead and sacrifice a bit of scalability.

From my experience people rarely read the commit message s, so it is better to put the why part into comments in the code, not git history. I mostly write the detailed why part in the commit only for refactoring changes.
I dunno about slide 39 - where calling f(x) may or may not give x a value. From a code readability standpoint, a reader of the codebase needs to be wary of every function.

I see the issue is that iff you explicitly marked it as inout, it would limit the code from a logic unification point of view. I guess this is already explored in prolog, which I have little experience with - but it feels like it would inherently limit the ability to scale a codebase to huge sizes. Maybe a combination of convention and naming would solve the problem.
> But moving in a line, no matter how much overlap of the features you get, just doesn't work that well, and I do not understand why.

How far apart were the photos taken? I think OpenDroneMap needs lots of overlap with drone photos, and even more with spherical photos to extract features well.

I haven't experimented with a non-360 degree camera - the benefit of a 360 degree camera is you effectively double the photos you get (front/back). Cycling or walking also ensures huge overlap.
Btw, MSG is found naturally in a bunch of stuff, like the seaweed used in various parts of Chinese and Japanese cuisine. So it's not something a well funded industry invented like artificial sweeteners. (for which it seems no amount of study can stop the bad memes)

Much like yogurt, it's made by fermentation. Much like table salt, it was discovered to be delicious by people putting just about everything in their mouths back in the day. It can be said that MSG was in the process of being well-studied early on when the sensationalized news fouled up the whole process and made people unnecessarily afraid of something no more harmful than table salt.

Decades and tens to hundreds of papers later, the sensationalized story is still winning in the minds of people who don't understand how science works and don't know where most of the stuff around them comes from. This is the problem with overreacting to a headline. You might be doing yourself a favor health wise, possibly, but you might also be demanding millions of restaurants redesign their menus to feed you less healthy, less delicious food, for no good reason.

The problem is, you don't know. That's why it's okay to take a single paper with a grain of salt.
> This was a golden opportunity to implement some typical form of exception handling

No one wants that in Go, please stop trying to shove it down like it’s THE solution.

A lot of Go users are fine with the way error currently work, because they’re considered as values, and their handling don’t break the flow like exceptions do.

Sure, Results would have been better, but this ship has sailed. I’d settle for allowing inline « if » expressions, but besides that, error handling in Go is fine.
Maybe the old superglue and baking soda trick?
I think people are comparing Go’s compile times to the compile times of other languages that they have the option of using in the present day. Go is not the only language in history for which there exists a fast compiler, but its fast compile times are certainly salient when comparing it with a number of popular alternatives. OCaml springs to mind as a plausible alternative to Go that also has a fast compiler, but its ecosystem is vastly smaller.

I guess I sort of see where it's coming from - the context is that hundreds of devs have to write code that has to preemptively cooperate with other code. So I think the lenient evaluation might be key for this.

Suppose you wander into a new environment, it contains some object x, and it has some capability f(x). Suppose your avatar or whatever has some code that already integrates with this f(x). You could just call f(x) in advance, and once you enter that environment, it lazily executes f(x). Or maybe I'm way off base here.

The new Tinker Tailor is legit, but tragically miscast. They had Toby Jones! They had Ciaren Hinds! Either would have been a perfect Smiley. Oldman (at that time) would have been a perfectly good Alleline!

Burton's Leamas in Spy Who Came In From The Cold is probably the GOAT though.
If they'd added the Chinese Solar and Wind production to the graph they have comparing China and France, it would have made a good case for the headline.
That's true. I feel like there is a bit of both here. Around the 1950s to 1970s, they were capable of some pretty impressive projects, civillian and millitary. Things like mass rollout of power infrastructure, road networks, city construction, the space race, etc. their GDP is today estimated to have been around half that of the US had at the time. Their growth in production numbers for tanks/planes etc
throughout ww2 was extrodinary as well. However they hit a real period of stagnation in the 1970s which just got worse and worse over time, i'm not an expert as to exactly why but my guess would be they developed a culture of corruption that continues to plague russia to this day
> Of course none of these systems running totally automatic have the ability to push the plane into the ground based on faulty sensor data.

The yaw damper does.

There was another crash where the autothrottle was reading data from only one of the radio altimeters, which was giving false data. At 400ft altitude the autothrottle thought the airplane was landing, and pulled the throttles back to idle. The airplane pancaked into the ground.

All avionics software that has control authority can crash the airplane.

What was wrong with MCAS was its reliance on only one sensor, and no way to tell if the sensor was faulty. That's not an issue with the concept of MCAS.

The choice stuff might make vector and GPU programming more natural, assuming it can be made efficient enough. The syntax it provides is certainly convenient for that. Might even be an advance over array programming in some ways, by being more flexible and opening up more forms of expression. Has this been considered?
Yes, mostly. There are a few things to take into account though:

- No multiple queues
- No priorities
- Practically no scheduling (the delay is very limited)
- Creating and tearing down a queue takes a lot of time and the number of queues is subject to AWS account limits
- The FIFO/LIFO semantics (remember about no priorities?) will bite you when you least expect

It does have great durability unlike Redis though and will scale to much, much larger queues in an easier way.
