'Idiomatic' is another good word.

Some people are so addicted to DRY that they want to write helper functions for every 3 lines of code that appear together. Nobody else can figure out what the fuck their code does, but only 3 of them will tell them to their faces.

You're not wrong. We regularly try to get our clients into a room that we've built where they can listen. However our budget doesn't permit us to lease a commercial space and then build and retain a $400,000+ room for this purpose. Instead we often enlist past clients who will permit us to bring people into their studios to listen for a bit. They're often accommodating of us, but it's not something we can always rely on.

Not "if". It happened. It's interesting how willing you are to promulgate a false narrative.

False. It was in effect for long enough for many articles to be written about it and many people to see it. I saw it myself.

> The third area of concern revolves around the issue of ad clutter. Over the years, two trends have clearly emerged, particularly in the USA: (a) more television time devoted to ads and (b) shorter ads. These two trends translate into a huge leap in the number of ads shown in any given time period. Industry professionals worry about two consequences of clutter: less ad effectiveness due to cognitive overload and loss of viewers due to their annoyance with the barrage of ads.

In other words, they worry that the barrage of their ads will be affected. By 2005 I was already skipping ads with my TiVo and renting DVDs to watch some shows so I didn’t have to deal with ads. So yeah, that ship sailed a loooong time ago.

If only there was a way to follow the money, oh wait…!
Besides the cultural taboo that some non-agricultural societies had, there's the European fear of new world tomatoes that persisted from the 17th to 19th centuries. Wealthy folks ate the (acidic) fruit on pewter platters, the acid leached the lead from the pewter, and 10 generations of Europeans feared the fruit! If someone can explain why this fear didn't hit lemons, wine, and other acidic consumables, I'd love to know.

Less directly related, but more way more hilarious, is the tendency of babies to fear plants. It must be something hard wired. Even soft leaves that could not possibly irritate their skin elicit a strong response. If you have a baby in your life, take them out to a garden and watch, it's something to behold.

If you don't have a baby in your social circle, there are lots of videos online of infants (who can scarcely control their movement) contorting themselves to avoid contact with grass.
Right, I misspoke. I should know better. I intended to say "a network device".
As an American living in Europe who supports the GDPR, I suspect that most of the violations are driven by American companies and these violations are in part ideological.

The concept of a government sincerely passing a law that genuinely and competently protects the privacy of its individual citizens seems absurdly unlikely to many of us. Laws are not created for individuals except when a cynical politician wants votes from the gullible. Circumventing such a "stupid", "anti-business" law as the GDPR is almost an American duty.

The Naming of Cats

T. S. Eliot, 1939

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey—
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter—
But all of them sensible everyday names,
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that’s particular,
A name that’s peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum—
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover—
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular name.
I tried again in expert mode. I attempted to make my question clearer, and the results were even worse. It tried to write some code, but the code was nonsense.
Tokio seems to be a valid replacement for lightweight threading in elixir.

Fault tolerance and supervision hierarchy might be unnecessary as mentioned.

Hotloading capabilities are unnecessary, most shops go with blue-green deployments, so the hotcode loading is usually unused (and for a good reason, so much complexity!).
Distributed computing also goes unnecessary as most applications are deployed with containers with some form of autoscaling, so the industry went a different direction than elixir.

That leaves us with runtime introspection, which is pretty cool indeed. But that has to compete with Rust performance.

Pretty tough.

I love elixir, but when Go got premptive scheduler for goroutine, the need for elixir dropped dramatically. Which is sad because i loved the language and phoenix.

I'm hoping it makes a comeback, though!
This article is more spun than the thread in my shirt. Absolute repost spam about an otherwise interesting topic.
> but I don’t know what would be better.

Strictly following the semantics order of the querying, whether forward or reverse.

The ordering issue of SQL is that it uses a mixed ordering, the physical layout of the query in text form doesn’t follow the logical execution of the query, which makes it very confusing.

Comparing to short cutesy sentences is not helpful as a non-trivial query has dozens or hundreds of steps, it’s closer to a build book or checklist.

Furthermore english is far from a paragon of clarity or regularity, and languages which try to follow it (SQL, AppleScript) tend to scale a lot worse with instruction sizes and complexity.
You separate them by effects, material conditions usually. Primarily money. That's the traditional socialist method.
I don't think there's really a burden of proof as such on anyone. Whether something qualifies or not will be a consensus in a given community, location, timeframe, etc.

There's quite a bit of substance behind the idea that it is problematic. (Already linked) But there will be nuance too.
Unfortunately lawyers at least in Russia would have an opinion here.

Let's suppose that you posted something publicly to an append-only social network, and it was completely OK at that time. Then, laws changed (and you could not predict this), and this post is no longer legal according to the new rules. What the lawyers say is that the very fact that the message is still online is now a crime. Yes, there is a universal notion that laws do not apply backwards in time (retroactively), but here they indeed don't: the message is still online AFTER the law got into existence, and so this is a lasting crime that started when the law was enacted.

Normally you would be required to delete the post between the moments when the new law is announced and enacted, but you can't, and it is still yours for others to find and read, so you go to jail.

P.S. It would be interesting to know the opinion of lawyers from other countries.
One one hand, that's really cool. ON the other, leave the moon alone?
Ok, I'll state the reverse opinion in the same stark way as you did: why should they? Their job is helping people who still want to live and can be helped. If someone is terminally ill and has made peace with the thought that they are going to die soon, there's nothing they can do for them anymore...

It's a key reason why I don't attempt to delete social media posts. I've said a lot of stupid shit over the years, and whether I like it or not, that stupid shit is permanent; any attempt to take it down would only serve to make it more interesting and more worthy of preservation. Better to let that stupid shit linger unnoticeably - or even better, embrace that I'm (hopefully) a better person than I was $N years ago.

surely this purely has to do with the examples in the training corpus. I reckon SVG will have more illustrative content and as a result a more accurate representation.

I reckon with the right examples in the prompt to take advantage of in-context learning, it could be pretty accurate.

you don't even need a dedicated cross compiler if you have clang installed (eg the standard clang you can install from homebrew, or the one shipped with freebsd). you just have to pass it a few flags to target risc v. `clang --target=riscv32 -march=rv32i -mabi=ilp32`

This idea is seductive as hell. This would guarantee better conditions for these sorts of of people - but who's to say that's better for the individual and society in the long-run? We can all agree it's a sad thing to have people sleeping in tents scavenging for money every night. But look, maybe the hell, that is street life, is the necessary factor for some people to get their act together.

How Greptime Uses GitOps for Efficient DevOps
I think this is disingenuous. There are ways to do advertising without invasive and excessive tracking. We just accepted that getting tracked is the default and has to be that way. But there are alternatives. Sure, those alternatives would probably be less effective but also more respectful of user privacy.

And I know the change won’t happen. I’m aware of that. I’m just saying that alternatives are out there.

I have pondered this too and lately I think a certain way about it. It may not really answer the question but I dunno.

You say "But we will all find out, one day."

I think... maybe we already know? Before I was born, I did not exist. When I die, I will again no longer exist.

If Earth is ~4.5 billion years old, what was it like waiting for all the things to happen before I could be born to crawl upon its surface with a diaper on, grow up and ponder life, eventually find this comment on HN and reply to it?

By not existing before we were born, do we already know what it's like to not exist after we die?

> You don't need a t there (native Russian speaker), it's a clear ch like in check.

English can inherit some of its spellings historically from French, the language of diplomacy prior to the wars. In French the tch is necessary for pronunciation, like tchécoslovaquie. Also, American English gets various spellings from a number of different Slavic and German immigrant groups. There just isn't "a way" to spell many of these place names and terms, like borsch/borscht/borshch
I think what is nice about this project is that it combines everything in a mono repo which is nice for setting up continuous integration and other testing workflows. This project can be used to build toolchains for newlib (bare metal), musl and glibc. It also will allow building qemu and spike (instruction simulation) simulators to allow running RISC-V code without special hardware. It can then run each project's test suites as well as it has some integration tests (dhrystone).

This repo will be useful for getting started with toolchain development. If you are just a user wanting to write c/c++ app code then use your distro's toolchain packages.
But those executables have run-times in shared libraries.

It sounds as if Janet's run-time is statically linked; it could also be built as a .so?

Shared library calls (and variable references) are ugly, though. Unless you have a large number of Janet programs, the space saving isn't worth the shared library tax.

Can you please direct towards the data you are citing?

The linked report seems to indicate, in every year of every chart, "stranger violence" to be 2-3 times that of "domestic violence" (depending on the specific measurement).

Perhaps you were citing reporting percentages?

Domestic Violence is defined in the report as "includ[ing] the subset of violent victimizations that were committed by current or former intimate partners or family members, spouses, boyfriends, or girlfriends."

Stranger Violence is not defined in the report, but seems fairly clear non-the-less.

The report also states homicide statistics are not included in the figures.

This is the answer. The power of the hundred billon plus models is that they can exhibit in context learning. By providing more examples in the context the output improves.
Right, some sort of reversed Turing test.
No, the differences is that in Common Lisp / SBCL type declarations are optional (note though: there is also type inference in SBCL), type declaration are more verbose, type declarations are sometimes a separate expression and a variable by default has the type T, unless the compiler can infer another type.

(declaim (type (integer 0 100) *a-number*))

Above does not declare the type of a value, it declares the type of a variable to be an integer in the range of 0 to 100.

In SBCL we can also query for the type of that variable:

* (defvar *a-number* 0)
*A-NUMBER*
* (declaim (type (integer 0 100) *a-number*))
(*A-NUMBER*)
* (SB-CLTL2:VARIABLE-INFORMATION '*a-number*)
:SPECIAL
NIL
((TYPE MOD 101))

The third returned value is the declared type.

Another example: a function with two local variables. One variable is declared to be of type INTEGER and the other of type STRING. We then try to set one variable to the value of the other:

* (defun foo (a b)
(declare (type integer a)
(type string b))
(setf a b))

; in: DEFUN FOO
; (SETF A B)
; ==>
; (THE INTEGER B)
;
; caught WARNING:
; Derived type of COMMON-LISP-USER::B is
; (VALUES STRING &OPTIONAL),
; conflicting with its asserted type
; INTEGER.
; See also:
; The SBCL Manual, Node "Handling of Types"
;

What you see above is that the SBCL compiler a compile time detects a type error and warns. There are no values involved.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradual_typing
Agreed.

But even by this vague standard, it's an incredible stretch. Tornado Cash is a document, published on github. Anybody can deploy it, or fork it and deploy their fork, and many people have done that.

If OFAC wanted to go after members of the $TORN DAO under the theory that, together, they represent an entity, then at least I can see some vague adherence to the rule of law (albeit one in which vagueness is abused in the ways that you point out).

But they didn't do that, because they would be difficult, both logistically and politically. Instead, they designated a document, held on many thousands of computers around the world, a "specially designated national."

This is a facially childish and unserious move, and is not befitting a state which wishes to be viewed as a serious arbiter of its laws.

The designation letter from the Treasury Department[0] reads like something from The Onion.

Your theoretical scenario is equally concerning. In a world where the status quo is "everyone dies after a certain age", then a drug that cures aging is a drastic change to the equilibrium and we should proceed with caution so that this change doesn't disrupt the equilibrium enough to lead to eventual extinction of the population.

In a world where the status quo is "nobody ages", then having everyone die after a certain age is also a drastic change to the already proven equilibrium.

In both cases, it's a drastic change, so in both cases we should proceed with caution.

(Related) I seem to recall an example of wolves and rabbits in equilibrium, with the wolves controlling the rabbit population. Take away the wolves and the rabbit population increases to the point where they eat all the vegetation and eventually all starve.

You can still do ads, there are no rules regarding ads (other than there are things you can not advertise, like in the real world).

The main issue really is that publishers and ad networks conflate tracking and ads. I'm pretty tired of sites popping up a message saying: "We need to talk about your ad blocker". I don't block ads, I block tracking, remove the tracking and we're good.

Context based ads works almost as well as those based on endless amounts of personal information. They are good enough, they worked well for decades. The problem is that they are a lot hard to sell/buy and modern online ad specialist aren't qualified to do it, they can only click around the Google AdWords or Facebook Ads.
