Lack of customization is pretty much global standard. France for example is the same. If you want to change something in your meal, go cook it yourself, at home. Or just buy what we serve and eat it.
Yes, it is nice to see the python 3 migration is pretty much done, it really could have happened literally a decade ago! While we're all here: which is the package manager to use?
I play a sousaphone :)
For what it's worth, I'm quite unlikely to eat any raw meat at home because I know it's higher risk and that I don't feel I have sufficient experience to prepare it myself - or to know where to source meat suitable for consumption raw. I trust a chef at a restaurant however because it's both their job, and if they do it wrong, they won't be in business much longer.
Your link says “ in type 2 diabetes” in the title. I’m interested in non-diabetics, given this is going to be approved purely to unfat people without diabetes.
> I've never understood what people find so hard about HATEOAS. It's like people have never interacted with a HTML form or followed links to stuff, or have difficulty figuring out how webpages can consist of multiple linked resources.

Or that an object graph of a system is a web of linked resources, and that every program has an entry point object/interface from which you can navigate to any part of that object graph, just like in REST.
Our Python implementation automagically handles all the sever-side plumbing and Just Works. I didn't write it but think it's neat and good enough.

Our client side story isn't so good, as your reply predicts. Our primary JS websocket client uses introspection so that's no burden. But we also ship a manually constructed matching Typescript interface which does get out of sync. And other clients are left out on their own. It'd be nice if the codegen tools linked in the original post were further along as this would make life for generic clients much easier. I've been watching them for some years but they don't seem to be going anywhere and I'm comfortable enough with our custom implementation.
Here’s a bigger thought. Imagine a world where serial killers get caught a lot earlier before killing scores of people. The government is not the only enemy.
If you think back then that only those who had money made music and formed groups, you must have no concept of folk music. Slaves were forming bands and writing songs we still sing today (e.g. "Follow the Drinking Gourd" or "Where did you sleep last night" that Nirvana went on to cover); money wasn't a limiting factor like it is today with the need to market yourself and the prices of musical equipment.

Disclaimer - I'm just a mere biochem grad who've taken some grad level courses in physiology so my question is coming from curiosity and healthy dose of ignorance.

I took a cursory glance at the wiki page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirzepatide) and it seems like it's working wonders on weight loss by targeting satiety. Weight loss still occurs when calorie out exceeds calorie input so it's not fundamentally changing anything as far as I know biochemically. Why is it so popular then? Should we be concerned about needing drugs to treat obesity? My guess is that patients who lose weight this way still needs this drug to keep it off.

Medical professionals/experts - please ream me or just correct me if I'm wrong here.

FWIW - I also struggled with weight loss. I was 284(!!!) during peak covid but managed to get myself down to 224. I'm hoping to get it down to 174 by end of this year. I found fasting + exercise + will power to be key for weight loss but I also understand that this is an anecdote and won't work for others.

"Pure capitalism", or "war" as Steve Jobs put it in one of his emails, is a race to the bottom in terms of company profits because of countless scenarios like this. I want employee X because he will bring $Y value to me, so I can technically pay anything below $Y for him. But then your company also has similar logic. If we simply aggressively compete then these cost of any employee, who has a skillset where supply < demand, will rapidly approach the value they bring to any company - which can be immense. And simultaneously the profit of our companies will approach zero.

This is very much in the interest of employees, but not in the interest of companies. So companies have a motivation to implicitly (legal) or explicitly (illegal, slap on the wrist punishment) cooperate to keep wages somewhat fixed. One way to do this is to not proactively "poach" each other's employees. If you hire a Bob, I won't actively try to recruit Bob - though I will extend him an offer if he, himself, proactively approaches me.

2 years after this email exchange, you had this [1]. A Google recruiter tries to poach an Apple employee. Steve contacts Google, Google responds that the recruiter will be "terminated within the hour", and Steve responds with a smiley face. They were sued over this [2] and "punished" with a fine that can't even be called a slap on the wrist. Now they do the same, but more cleverly. But having recruiters just spam everybody with endless recruitment offers, they can claim to be competing yet those recruitment offers become meaningless.

Isn't buying your own farm easier then spinning up your own data center? I really don't understand the point you're trying to make.
> but I think that social and legal methods are never the solution

Just to be clear we're talking about indexing + searching what people post on public internet feeds?

IMO there are only social solutions to this problem. Any legal one would probably kill any federated service that can barely compete with centralized ones as it is... or (more likely) not be enforceable in the first place.

There's two social solutions:

1) don't post things you don't want recorded forever on public networks

OR

2) stop treating every mistake humans makes in their personal history as deal breaker for life

The first is a matter of personal responsibility, which is not a very popular concept in certain communities popular online. The other is more rational and practical but is still a very serious problem in western culture. Countless people have been 'cancelled' (or attempts have been made) based on 10yr old internet posts the posters themselves denounce.

If you want technical solutions use Signal, not a federated Twitter competitor.

Zero stdlib comes with no GC and seems to be viable for bare metal, so pretty much what you're describing.

Although you don't need to remove GC for everything. IDisposable already covers explicit destruction and the memory mapping can be handled with native functions where necessary. (I don't know if that's possible in bflat, I'm talking in general - but pinvoke should be enough)
Just to add: There are of course many stories and cases of bad police conduct in the U.S and in many incidents, police investigate poorly or react badly to situations, but overall, the general trend is that if you report a serious crime, it will receive a reasonably professional and often very strong investigative response. It will at least be generally incomparably better than how things would be in Mexico if the same were to occur, in this country where only 2% yes, 2% of murders (never mind lesser crimes) are ever solved by police.... People who complain about shitty police service in the United States are right to do so and point it out, but many of them have never seen just how bad it usually is in a country like Mexico.

What's more, basic self defense is practically forbidden. One can sniff their nose at U.S gun laws all they want but at least in most places a basic right to self defense when the police don't arrive on time and one's life is in danger exists. In Mexico, we have an absolutely perverse situation in which police barely respond in meaningful ways, crime is rampant, criminals are heavily armed and easily obtain weapons, but normal civilians risk going to prison if they should carry even non-lethal weapons for self defense, or use a gun in their home to protect themselves against and assault. Why do the police arrest them more often? Because such people are much easier pickings than a real criminal and it's an opportunity for safe extortion. This is very common, and grotesque.

U.S self defense laws are much better as an alternative. Europeans disdain such gun laws, but at least in most European countries where self-defense with weapons is often essentially forbidden, at least the justice system and policing are both functional. In Mexico they emphatically are not, but with the same sorts of highly restrictive laws against civilians who take defense into their own hands. I challenge anyone to defend such a legal landscape.
Netflix also played a huge role in raising salary bar.

Anecdote: In 2008, I was working at Ericsson in San Jose, as a junior software engineer on edge routers. I was paid ~$140K (bonus + RSU). We heard that very senior engineers were paid around $180K. Cisco was sought after place in our industry (Networking). They would pay ~$225K for senior engineers.

(all numbers are unverified and rumors).

Then one of my peer at Ericsson, a junior engineer, had an offer from Netflix and told during lunch break, his total comp was $250K, all cash (no RSU). I can still remember the gasps that followed.

I have read the book "No Rules Rules. Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention" [0]. It's fascinating the number of times Netflix pivoted and rewrote many rules. They discuss their philosophy on compensation in the book. They played important role in raising the salary bar.

Yes its a small part of the pie. In their 2020 review it was about 20% of their revenue. Their lttstore.com creator warehouse stuff has gone crazy since then - they were talking about having 5-10m tied up just in inventory waiting to sell. So, yes.

>And then, that very night, everything came crashing down. Color execs started noticing that users were quick to rate the app a measly one or two stars out of five–nails in the coffin, given an oversaturated app market that was spawning more than 1,000 new apps a day. The problem was simple: In order for Color to work, many users had to be in a similar location, but since Color hadn’t widely seeded the app prelaunch, users arrived to a social network that resembled a ghost town. “I wanna see that pitch deck,” ranted influential tech blogger Robert Scoble. “It must have had some magic unicorn dust sprinkled on it.” A mock satirical pitch deck began circulating around tech circles, spoofing Color’s attempt to capitalize on every web 2.0 cliché: “People. Colors. Apps. Cats. Bacon. Organic. Bieber. Mobile. Social. Local. Pivot.”

I want no part of the store, have disabled it, and have been able to install everything I want without it, even Windows Terminal and WSL.

I'm not sure why I would ever allow it on my machine.
On the other hand, solving actual crimes today has to be weighed against hypothetical future misuse by a hypothetical "future unfriendly regime". People have different beliefs about the probability of such a future, but to me it seems like this is a big win for society.
Hum, usual confusion of what the Alto and what the Xerox Star was.

(The Alto was an experimental development system and did not have a consistent user interface. Many of the innovations at PARC were eventually consolidated by Xerox SDD into the Xerox Star, which provided a consistent interface, metaphor and 'persona' of the computer. The Star was a commercial computer and highly impressive for its time, but not a success. The famous Apple visit comprised a tour of the Alto, but not of the Star. According to their own word, Apple developers like Bill Atkinsons had not seen or experienced the Star. On the other hand, they had read papers from PARC even before the visit and had been influenced by them.)

It may be also worth mentioning that Xerox hired a substantial amount of the talent floating around the ARPANet community. (Bob Taylor, founder of PARC's CS department, had previously headed ARPA IPTO.) Rather few projects emerged genuinely at PARC, many ideas existed already previously and people were hired because of these ideas. (Possible video, "How Xerox Ripped Off the ARPANet Community"? /s)
On the flip side, people who are overweight are already on the road to T2 diabetes.

Obesity isn't just a cosmetic issue, it is a disease with very real health implications. If behavior modification doesn't work to lose weight, we shouldn't deny people effective treatment.

The supply chain will adjust to meet demand.

I had the same curiosity as you but realized there can’t possibly be any long term studies because this class is new, and very new for weight loss. I just searched for the longest term study for the class.
The ancestry databases (at least, the ones I'm aware of) contain SNPs and not full genomic sequences. Even if "targeted assassination virus" was a real thing, it would almost certainly need more data.
I see the sort of perspective pervasively, but I don’t really understand it. I would guess that most people wouldn’t consider expunging c89 from gcc to be progress, yet this is almost universally the attitude towards python2. What am I missing?
I’ve done a lot of personal performance tracking and I’ve found that productivity (for me at least) correlates very highly to number of hours slept and not really much else. Ignoring environment/culture/team issues that don’t change often enough to test.

The thing that worries me about the idea of engineering being a team sport is, what does “Moneyball” look like? Get everyone to wear sleep trackers?
I think you are confused. FP doesn't require any kind of token/syntax to be "replacable". It requires expressions to be "replacable" (RT).

A language could certainly treat assignments as expressions (some do) and have them return something, such as the value that is assigned to the variable or always null/unit. But we are now talking about a totally different thing.

I was sold on the Teensy after seeing an incredible synthesizer someone created with it. So much power in such a tiny and affordable package. It’s pretty incredible what we can do with so little at the moment. Maybe it’s been this way for a while — I’m just discovering the world of microcontrollers over the last couple of years.
This kind of interactive, bespoke content is one of the main reasons I subscribe to the Times. It feels like NYT truly embraced the concept of being able to tell stories and convey information in a completely novel and exciting format, and I find myself really immersed in these pieces all the damn time. It feels very much like you guys are _leading_ rather than following, which is damn impressive for such an old institution.

Hell, I remember last year's Christmas Cookies piece, which was just this lovely immersive slideshow of tight high resolution videos of different stages of the cookie making process and just thinking "this is just _good_ content."

But this stuff is also powerful because of its ability to inform people in a way visually that more traditional text and even older illustrative modalities would've fallen short with. This deep-dive, guided tour, expando-driven approach is just... awesome. Keep up the great work!

GSK was found because one of his third cousins had their DNA on GEDMatch. So, someone he shared a great-great-grandparent with. Based on GSK's age, that could mean the DNA uploader and GSK had a single common ancestor who was born in 1845.

If I am legally allowed to look at a million pictures to learn how to draw in different art styles, or even how to imitate a very certain art style, I basically train weights and biases in my brain.

If StabilityAi does the same with pictures available online, and release the weights and biases as Stable Diffusion, how is this different from humans learning from that data?

Which is much higher than ad revenue through Google. I know it because I have a friend with a YouTube channel +5mln and he has external team handling these issues. He told me revenue from sponsorships is 4 times more from what he makes from Google and his viewers are mostly from US.

However his sponsorships are really well placed and match the content. Also listening t these ads is not as painful as Linux Tech Tips, so probably he makes more from sponsorships than average.

Yes, so there are YouTube ads and sponsorship segments and people still watch it
As the author of Teach Yourself CS I would definitely suggest against trying to fit this in a year! Maybe aim for CS:APP and 1-2 others, and if you have time for more that's a bonus. Most of these are books to work through, not "read".
To give a concrete example: Haskell supports something called do-notation. You cannot "replace" parts of it, because it is syntactic sugar that will turn into a number of expressions. But all of those expressions are then RT. In the same way you can have a C++ program that is FP (completely RT) but uses templates, which are obviously not "replacable". I hope that makes it more clear.

Compilers embed a lot of metadata (incl. but not limited to build date) into the binaries which changes the final artifact checksum in every compilation.

Removing this information what makes reproducible builds reproducible.

If you want bit-by-bit reproduction, you can't have that metadata inside your final artifact.

Project Properties: Effort, Cost, Value
python2 code was not necessarily forwards compatible with python3. 3 was explicitly attempting to correct some regrettable choices in python2 and wasn't syntax compatible as a result.

The effort for implementation and package maintainers to support both versions was considerable, resulting in some notable packages only supporting one or the other.

In the words of the Python maintainers:

We needed to sunset Python 2 so we can help Python users by improving Python faster.

We released Python 2.0 in 2000. We realized a few years later that we needed to make big changes to improve Python. So in 2006, we started Python 3.0. Many people did not upgrade, and we did not want to hurt them. So, for many years, we have kept improving and publishing both Python 2 and Python 3.

But this makes it hard to improve Python. There are improvements Python 2 can't handle. And we have less time to work on making Python 3 better and faster.

And if many people keep using Python 2, then that makes it hard for the volunteers who use Python to make software. They can't use the good new things in Python 3 to improve the tools they make.

They are running ensembles of models to predict the forecast. Chaotic systems are challenging to model, and models aren't perfect, so a collection of models is used (either different initial conditions or different versions of the model, as per https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=Ensemble).

This gives you a distribution of predictions, which you can use to produce an average, as well as uncertainty, confidence bands, etc.

The quality of these predictions and ensembles is empirically validated using proper scoring rules (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoring_rule), which is a robust way to measure the quality of a probabilistic forecast. Negative-log-likelihood, a ubiquitous loss function in machine learning, is an example of a proper scoring rule (with a minus in front of it).

The science behind forecasting has gotten pretty sophisticated, it's an interesting field.
Seems like a lot of work when a bullet or dioxin is much cheaper.

But they have contributed in me getting multiple jobs in my field as they demonstrate that I actually know some of the stuff I claim to.
