notably, workers are forbidden from calling in sick, and are complaining about scheduling that disregards sleep, reduced maintenance, and dangerously increased train length. railroads have laid off about 30% of staff in the last few years, and unions have struggled to achieve rules as basic as forbidding single-person crews.

Yeah, while this is theoretically possible it's unmanageable in practice (the "washing line" protocol allows you to send a UNIX pipe file descriptor to another process over a socket).

I suspect the nearest thing that made it into production was OLE.
Pandas is in a separate category from all of these, including polars. If you were to say “pandas in long format only” then yes that would be correct, but the power of pandas comes in its ability to work in a long relational or wide ndarray style. Pandas was originally written to replace excel in financial/econometric modeling, not as a replacement for sql. Models written solely in the long relational style are near unmaintainable for constantly evolving models with hundreds of data sources and thousands of interactions being developed and tuned by teams of analysts and engineers.

For example, this is how some basic operations would look in pandas.

Bump prices in 2020 up $1:

prices_df.loc['2020'] += 1

Add expected temperature offsets to base temperature forecast:

temp_df + offset_df

Now imagine thousands of such operations, and you can see the necessity of pandas in models like this.

It does matter, but then it doesn't, if it makes your life as a programmer more difficult, which is the situation described here.

SQL lives on because it makes database storage extremely efficient, not because developers enjoy switching context to an entirely different programming language and runtime environment. That they have to use it doesn't mean they have to like using it.
RU is gaining initiative since January. Most useful thing that UA got from NATO for now is military intelligence that has scale which maybe only China can match. This is available for UA since beginning. We still do not know how effective new weapons are going to be. Maybe that is why the volume of western tanks is so low. I don't think there will be Nukes.
This just seems like a list of platitudes lacking an actual justification. The fact is, synchronous request/reply semantics is Turing complete, as are async messaging semantics. I could can opt-in to sending an async message via a standard request/reply, but I can't opt out of it if async messages are the default. Async messages introduce DoS vulnerabilities, and even partially mitigating these introduces non-determinism, so opt-in should be the default.
>Is Putin not done politically if RU is defeated in UA, and Crimea is liberated / annexed?

Nicholas II wasn't done after Russo-Japanese war loss, Alexander II wasn't done after Crimean War, Lenin wasn't done after Polish-Soviet war, Yeltsin wasn't done after First Chechen War... why would Putin be done? History of russia is full of counterexamples and them presenting as "we'll win or we'll nuke whole world" is a propaganda tactics and bluff.
If you work a company with a large monorepo, you often want to vendor all third party dependencies in the tree — you don’t want the build of this massive repo to be down because one of the five package managers it depends on is down. And if there’s a single vendor folder used by all projects, you’re certain that all parts of the tree are using the same version of the external dependency.

Not sure if adding sovereign immunity to the situation would help. Managers take shortcuts to get ahead in a lot of situations; consider, for instance, Chernobyl.

It’s one of the reasons I think the “prioritizing profits” narrative rings hollow. Any profits they would have preserved by not-stopping for the first hotbox detector? Already burned by the costs of the closure and the response so far. If anything, chasing profits better would have prevented this.

This has generally turned out to be a problem very few people have.

In practice, $bigCorp is happy to publicize all of the changes they make to this software.

They can then focus on out-competing anyone by offering a cheaper and/or better integrated managed version then the original creators can. This is explicitly why Mongo moved from the AGPL to a custom non-FOSS license; Elastic followed suite and skipped the AGPL altogether for a similar license.

Overall, $bigCorp love having any changes they make in upstream: less maintenance burden on them for the parts that are not in their direct business, more time spent on working on their value-adds.
If it's state controlled and an accident happens and there is a govt investigation, do you think it'll be more stern than one on a private company? Do you think enforcement of rules is stricter when enforced in house?

I don't see the reasoning as to why state run services would be somehow safer. The state should set out the rules and enforce strictly
> It seems the US and allies no longer just wants UA to hold their own against RU, but actually win the war

There is no "hold their own". This would be a state of perpetual warfare. The only way to end the war is to allow Russia to claim Ukraine or push Russia out of Ukraine. Personally I would rather the Russian border to be as far east as possible.
This situation is morally a bit muddled. For that reason, it is not a "teachable moment". I'd let this slide.

"Left-Right" is not a gender issue; it's a class issue.

I think the term "leftist" is used mainly in US political debate, to refer to whatever US conservatives don't like. For heaven's sake, they refer to Biden as a leftist.
Yeah fwiw I am strongly opposed to the proposal, and Russ Cox acknowledged that they considered many of the posts against telemetry or for opt in only as valid discussion, and gave examples of some of the inappropriate comments they referred to as being in "bad faith". I appreciated his clarity there in answering about what he considered bad faith posts.

There were definitely comments that got quite heated and probably fell outside good discourse practices, largely because people are very passionate about privacy and also tend to get very upset when they feel betrayed.

There is no "reasonable expectation of profits" from a stable coin right? I should be able to buy it for 1USD and sell it for the same. No more. No less.
I think we're talking at cross-purposes here. The issue is not what Apple allows, it's what they can detect and block. They can't detect arbitrary interpreters and therefore you have no idea if this is happening on the app store. You just have to take Apple's word for it that it's not. We're talking about malware, by definition it doesn't care what the rules are. Android is more open and so third parties can go investigate and find malware that uses interpreters to execute remote code, but Apple simply doesn't allow such explorations so we don't know what's out there.

The training data contains tons of false information and the training objective is simply to reproduce that information. It's not at all surprising that these models fail to distinguish truth from falsehood, and no incremental change will change that. The problem is paradigmatic. And calling people cynics for pointing out the obvious and serious shortcomings of these models is poor form IMO.
> Sincerely, - A larger chunk of your potential customers than you think

I wish this were true, but in reality it's pretty far from that. What do you count the tens or hundreds of thousands of potential customers amongst the sea of tens or hundreds or thousands of millions of real customers? A rounding error.

A huge chunk of their market _wants_ these features, another huge chunk just doesn't care, and there's a small (and at times very passionately vocal) minority that cares and doesn't want them.

But this is all setting up for a response to:

Derailment can be a result of sabotage. The location is near major food and water sources. So while not exactly a conspiracy yet, it seems important to understand exactly what occurred in this derailment.
PSR is worth some controversy but the big problem here was ordering the train to proceed after a hot-box detector found a hot axle (saying that if it’s really a problem the next one will detect it, which it did, but it was too late to stop).

That’s just bypassing the safeties deliberately.

It's "mud season", a period between winter and spring where it's hard to travel off-road because vehicles are prone to getting stuck in the mud.

My understanding is that later in the Spring conditions begin to improve. The tanks the US and allies have been sending recently are likely in preparation for a remobilisation of Russias forces once the "mud season" is over.
For further deobfuscation you might want to record runtime stats and code flow.
I lived in Russia for 6 years prior to the invasion of Ukraine (2022 edition), and I can confirm that the US has frequently warned very heavily for basically all actions in Russia, even during peace times (before the first invasion of Ukraine even). I think even in 2015 when I went the first time, Russia was still on the 2nd level of warning despite overall decent relationships between the two countries at the time.

These warnings have been persistent for the last 8 years and in my discussions with the US consulate when I was there, it's less about indicating anything in specific and more about the US protecting its own interests and being as clear as possible that they cannot assist on a lot of things right now due to very limited diplomatic presence. The message that I was told at the consulate during the first Ukraine invasion was "we're very limited on staff and influence; we cannot make you leave, but you need to understand that if you get in legal trouble, we likely cannot help you." (this was a bit after the Saint Petersburg US embassy was closed)

While I don't doubt there is some concern about persons being taken for negotiation purposes, I think the major concern is just that the US is not in a position to assist for many foreign citizen services as the diplomatic tensions are far too high right now. Unless you already have good connections in Russia, at best you're stuck in a bad spot without help from the consulate, and at worst there is a chance you become a means of bargaining (though this has always been the case).

So, is it time to fork the go codebase and have a telemetry-free version?

I understand that there are uses for such data to help make the tooling better.

I don't understand how Google and its cult can be so disingenuously surprised that people are wary of it in 2023. This makes me trust them even less than normal - i suspect they'll follow the MS playbook and "accidentally" make the opt-out fail and eventually the idea of opt-out will be completely removed from the product because "everyone seems to be happy with it... No one turns it off anyway".
To be totally honest, I am fine with the situation you just described. The only argument in favour of IP is "but what about the economics of the seeds?" i.e. "but how will corporations get rich without it?" and my answer is: they will have to find some other way to contribute to humanity than placing a stranglehold on the freedoms of the poor.

Edit for those whose rebuttal is all too predictable: I know this affects the incentive structure for developing new science. But I don't think it's at all clear that the current incentives are actually a good thing in the long run. Alternatives for income could be one of the following: providing a service, producing and selling the seeds, working with local farmers to help them maximise yield from the seeds you developed, securing donations from those who stand to benefit from your research... etc.

Yep, the top comment in this thread is a fantastic example of typical HN comments. Naïveté masked as expertise.
Great question. Here is one thing I do, for math/ML related topics, when reading a paper or a textbook or blog.

At various stages of your reading, act as if you’re inventing it — understand what problem is being solved, and before reading on, pause, and really think (with notebook and pen), how YOU would solve it. Try various different angles and really struggle with it for a few hours or a day or a few days. Only after this struggle, continue reading. This way you will have several AHA moments, these will be invaluable for your comprehension and retention. This applies even if your struggle did not get you anywhere (and ESPECIALLY if you failed to get anywhere).

In particular if there is a lemma or theorem, first struggle try to prove it yourself, only then read the proof.
Rust has no GC and, unlike Scala, doesn't embrace full immutability. This is of course fine, because it focuses on performance, but it means a very different development experience.

Also, Rusts typesystem is lacking many of Scala's features and I don't think it's realistic to add them retrospectively.

I cannot imagine that any medium company would invest the time and money necessary to quit slack. Especially when you have bots everywhere.

It’s not that it’s undoable but you have to replace it with something reeeeaaaally awesome to justify the pain.

Today Slack is pretty meh, there may be better alternatives considering your use case but nothing so awesome that you would do it.
“Trial” certainly has the “three of” meaning; it is merely very uncommon in most fields, probably because of the other, different-etymology meanings of the word trial and the potential for confusion. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/trial#Adjective_2

I used “single-licensing” because it felt best; I know of no customary term for it, because it doesn’t tend to need a term. I did also contemplate the alternative “sole-licensing”, sole perhaps matching dual.

I’d say “double-licensing” isn’t quite identical in usage to “dual-licensing”: “dual-licensing” is well-established as meaning an OR conjunction, whereas “double-licensing” has been used in some fields as an AND conjunction (that is, for regulation purposes, you must be licensed under two sets of laws in order to practice). I won’t speculate on how much this (important) subtlety is a matter of fundamental meaning of the words and how much it’s customary interpretation of an inherent ambiguity.
I think you can eliminate the former and still keep the later.
The "stable" part in the name suggests that it does in fact offer a return as a defensive investment against the volatility inherent in other crypto assets.

If Bitcoin is going down, you sell and buy USDT instead, then two months later you trade the USDT for 20% more Bitcoin than what you started with... Measured in Bitcoin, you got a 20% return, and it was made possible by the asset-backed security in which you invested in the meantime.

> such expensive weaponry if they thought UA had no chance? It seems likely they are betting on a UA victory and all that entails.

> And in the event of a potential UA victory

Ukraine are not going to win the "war", by any meaningful measure. There are no western countries that assign anything above a 0% probability of victory. The equipment that we are sending is excellent, but it is all old and literally surplus to requirements. The headline number (X bn of arms sent) makes for nice reading, but all the equipment would otherwise be rusting in a field somewhere and is better used being blown up (or blowing up some russian equipment) in the Ukraine.

The NATO tactic remains to contain the conflict, bog Russia down in a long drawn out campaign (decades would be great) and avoid having to actually face a pointless one sided war (direct russian conflict) that frankly would be embarrassing for everyone and simply result in the pointless killing of millions of people, while simultaneously making everyone hate each other even more from multiple generations.
I had no idea there was a shortage of mediocre programmers writing in low-quality programming languages. If so, cool that we can automate that I suppose.
