The point is that decisions you made in your 20's will unfortunately lock you out of potential options 30 years later (without making major sacrifices). So they're saying the best move for someone in their 20's is the move that gives the most number of options for the rest of their life.

Here are the rewrites in Perl, Perl 6, J and Haskell:

Perl:

> perl -e 'while(<>){$a{$F[1]}++}for(sort{$a{$b}<=>$a{$a}}keys%a){print"$a{$_} $_\n"}' <(history)

Perl 6:

> my %h; for lines() { %h{.[1]}++; }; for %h.sort(-*.value) { .say }' <(history)

J:

> echo 'history' | jconsole -e '10 {. /:~ [: >: [: +/"1 [: =/ [: ;: [: >: [: ;: [: cut ;._2 ] ] ] ] ]'

Haskell:

> import Data.List

> import Data.Ord

> import System.Process

> main = do

h <- readProcess "history" [] []

let l = map (head . tail . words) $ lines h

mapM_ print $ take 10 $ sortBy (flip $ comparing snd) $ map (\x -> (head x, length x)) $ group $ sort l

Well, Perl 5 has scalars, arrays and dictionaries -- just like Python. Unlike Python, however, Perl function arguments are always implicit/variadic by default (and stored inside the implicit "@_" variable). This can be a benefit or a curse depending on the context. Furthermore, Perl 5 does support both "call by value" and "call by reference". This distinction can confuse programmers coming from more modern languages where usually everything is a scalar reference. But you have to keep in mind Perl was invented in the 80s and put great emphasis on compatibility. Changing calling conventions would have broken many modules.

edit:

Regarding objects: The object system is rather simple, it's just many Perl hackers invented their own object systems on top of that. Basically, a Perl class is just a module. An object is just a reference to a dictionary that got the class name attached by applying the "bless" operator:

package Foo;

sub new {
my ($class) = @_;
my $object = {};

bless $object, $class;
}

sub do_stuff {
my ($self) = @_;

# do stuff

return $self;
}

my $obj = Foo->new();
$obj->do_stuff()->do_stuff();

That's about it! Well, you also have inheritance using "use base ..." and you can bless other fundamental types which usually is not a bright idea. Many other object oriented languages make object orientation unnecessarily much more complex (looking at you C++).
As a type 1 I still need insulin even if I'm completely keto. It's not just carbs that affect blood glucose; as you pointed out, exercise and sleep can affect sugar among other things (stress, infections, meditation, using the toilet, drinking, various drugs...).

If my blood sugar goes up, to some degree, exercise and water can help - but they're not replacements for insulin. The suggestion that diabetics may not really need insulin is both ignorant and dangerous. You are not a doctor.

Unless you are in a hot loop (where you may not use virtual methods to begin with), I don’t think that performance difference is significant. Virtual calls have a slight overhead, but far from serious, and similarly not inlining something that you call only a single time for example is not the end of the world.

I don't think it needs that much polish. I love that it's performant and doesn't crash all the time like Adobe Illustrator. I've been using it for just about 20 years now and I think they've stated true to the core capabilities without adding to much bloat.

If I were to define software quality as a combination of performance and stability, all Adobe products have been in steep decline over the past two decades. Inkscape is still missing a few key features for printing so I do my work in Inkscape then bring it into Illustrator before printing.

It’s not just an opportunity cost of what we could do with $100 investment in climate change remediation vs $50 investment and $50 lobbyist. I think it’s that the $50 lobbyist don’t really result in $50 investment in climate change, but $50 investment in things that lead to more lobbying.
> But then neural networks came, and we had a full generic framework that was able to do upscaling really well, and a bunch of other things, and saying that you wanted grant money to code by hand a new upscaling algorithm using some clever wavelet technique you had in mind got you nowhere.

I wonder though, how "correct" that ANN upscaling really is. Does it reimplement clever ideas, that people came up with in a more computationally expensive way, plus some ANN specific extra stuff? Or does it make pixel values up "to make things look good" but actually moves away further from what reality was?

And what do we really learn from an ANN doing this well? Do we get to extract the algorithm back out of it, arriving at actual new knowledge, or will it remain a not understandable black box, with the only knowledge learned being "this kind of ANN works well for that kind of task"?

> We need to have that moment in cell biology, when we stop having entire research groups looking at a single pathway or just a single protein conformation for years, and instead use a generic framework to solve a problem.

I don't think it is that easy. Probably both is needed, work in painstaking detail and usage of generic methods/frameworks. Some ANN might by its nature not even consider a new method. Or its result might be not understandable and therefore risky to apply to humans.

I would often use static factory methods as well (next to the other patterns given in the JEP itself), but it breaks the usual convention of using new, so it adds a bit of cognitive load to learning an API where you expect to be able to use new, nope that's private, so you try build(), construct(), etc. before finally reading the documents to figure out what the name of the static method is, oh it's initialize().

Constructors in java should enforce class invariants in my opinion. Otherwise we should just have data only record initializers like the new record classes have. I expect a constructor for BigPositiveInteger to never be able to construct a negative integer.

The part of the telecoms platform I maintain and develop at work is written entirely in Perl. It does incredibly well in every involved aspect, and with a higher-performing and more compact codebase compared to what would've been the outcome with Python, but I'm wary of my eventual departure from the employer because of how hard it is to find Perl people these days. As much as I love Perl I cannot say it's a future-proof choice and an absolute benefit to my employer.

I've picked up woodworking and imperial inch fractions are a much better mental model for simple math (doubling/halving/dividing lengths, centering things etc) than arbitrary mm values.

There's also a thing about the inch being a (subjectively) good "bite size" unit. 1cm is too small, 10cm is way too big.
It doesn’t support MSSQL yet, but several people have requested it, so it’s definitely something we’ll support. We accept open source contributions for anyone who wants to add a database connector (a few of our connectors are open source contributions) - as long as there is an npm package for connecting to a database, setting up the connector is fairly straightforward.

Thanks for the feedback. There’s some info under Data Sources in the Core Concepts section, but maybe we should make the db support more prominent in the docs: https://docs.evidence.dev/core-concepts/data-sources/

The db connections are set up in the Settings page when you spin up an Evidence project, so we’ve also left a lot of the documentation in the product itself.
Conservative US politicians (especially Trump) consider the economy is a zero sum game.

Whenever you buy from aboard, that's money and jobs that are lost to the USA.

So they want to export, but not to import!

And instead of banning the imports, they just set technical standards.

Like requiring specific bumpers and car height, and pollution standards, despite the fact US roads are deadlier and the US pollutes more than anywhere else.

Other countries are a bit more optimistic about international trade, and recognize they can't do everything.

Western Europe, for exemple, has focused on high added value engineering and office jobs, to outsource production to Eastern Europe and Asia.

I'm confused by this statement because AOT compilation is an option, and it's getting better over time.

https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/stable/sysima...

In Julia 1.9 and beyond, this process now also becomes modular with a native library being produced per package.

The difficulty is determining what exactly must be compiled since Julia's methods are polymorphic. There's are tools that exist to help with this. One of the latest that is SnoopPrecompile.jl.
PHP's string datatype (in the C code) had a length field in addition to the actual bytes (probably still has), so the idea is not always bad (if most of what you do is string manipulation, so len() is O(1) and not O(n)) but I get your point, that's hidden deep in the language for perf reasons, not in user code :P
The way I read this:

"Our imaging system lacks sufficient resolution to confirm or disprove our theories. But we can achieve better resolution by generating images based on our theories, and combining those generated images with the data from the imaging system. We are astonished to find that the resulting high-resolution images confirm our theories."

Isn't this some kind of anti-science?
It’s still ridiculous you can even be fined for this, let alone go to prison or have to pay Nintendo. We need some serious restructuring (ie abolishment) of patents and trademarks.
The scenario where it is worse is that it results in less overall improvement because now we are paying for show projects brought on by lobbyists rather than valid investment in useful projects. If we don’t have evidence based evaluation and selection and rather lobbyist based selection then we will not make sound investments and this can harm the environment. Ie spending $100B on bullshit rather than effective clean energy or whatnot.

I was working on an island in Uganda and we drove past a solar energy array. Me and the other foreigners were like “oh cool, that’s really nice” and the local collaborators we were with explained that it was the result of $100M in foreign funding and would have cost about $500k if it used local firms. And that it displaced a local firm that was trying to do solar stuff. Instead they flew in people from outside the country and continent even to install and perform routine maintenance. The local collaborator said it produces the electricity of a small diesel generator. This is just an anecdote and I was never able to check the numbers, but it’s an example of how we can do harm by trying to do good. Bullshit projects and funding can harm good projects.

So please let horrible be the enemy of minimally effective. And don’t pretend that horrible is good and minimally effective is perfect.

OP here.. yeah, these are all great suggestions and we considered them at length (even validated some)... the problem is, before GPT, building a deployable (i.e. not just academic paper but something that actually works) NLP pipeline was fairly niche and hard and now the barriers to entry are almost zero (but over time it's definitely trending towards zero) .. we're a small bootstrapped company doing this on the side (until we can afford to switch over).. we can't afford to compete against 100x new companies doing this (some with way deeper pockets bc either they are VC or daddy funded).. so we're not going to.. also see my response about ms copilot etc above..
