Thanks for the info z3c0. Have you implemented open source solutions? Do you mind sharing some deterministic solutions to detect entities without huge dictionaries (NER)? Or maybe extractive QA if you used that instead?
> It's a glue language

Its a lot more than a glue language. Its just the right amount of high level abstraction with easy extensibility to make it applicable to most applications out there.

Even for things that are performance sensitive, extra containers/instances are cheaper than developers.

Networking and disks are inherently entirely different.

Pretending they're the same under some generic I/O concept only goes so far.

> Someone who would have invested in Microsoft 20 years ago and said "Hey, I am sure software will grow like mad! That's enough for me to know about the markets. From now on, all I will do is wait." would have been right. And would have seen about twice the return that Berkshire achieved. There must be many such investors. Are they all "better" than Munger and Buffett?

Using overall return as the sole comparison metric isn't really done when comparing managers. You can look at factors such as diversification, Sharpe and Sortino ratios, drawdowns...
Thank you for that one! Shrieve absolutely kills it, and Santana is giving off enough energy to power the gear with. Amazing recording. I'll have to re-play it now :) (and again...)
You're ranting at the development approach of the company that runs the safest rocket ever flown. Heck, at 130 consecutive successful landings, their first stage touches down more reliably than most rockets have ever flown.
That seems to be a doc issue. It certainly did not install a snap when I just tested this, and the certpot python package it installs explicitly checks to see whether it is running in a snap or not, which would make no sense if running it outside wasn't an option.
Supposedly the advantage is that the new scaling algorithm (via a Discrete Cosine Transform) is perfectly reversible (other than the data loss by introduced by the initial downscaling of course) – in practice I found that looking at the whole compression/decompression pipeline, a current libjpeg (using DCT scaling) still takes a number of iterations of repeated compression and decompression to converge to a stable image, i.e. not really different from both an older version of libjpeg itself, respectively libjpeg-turbo (both of which still use bilinear scaling or something like that for subsampling).

The additional artefacts between subsampling blocks introduced by DCT scaling on the other hand were clearly visible if you knew to look for them. (They're admittedly not super-massive, but under certain circumstances they are noticeable, which is how I stumbled across that topic in the first place – it turned out when I finally switched to a current version of my favourite image editor, it had in the mean time upgraded from an older libjpeg version to a newer version that was using DCT scaling. Thankfully the authors of that editor were actually willing to switch to libjpeg-turbo – somewhat ironically without the real "turbo" bits because they couldn't get the assembler bits working with their build system, so not much of a speed-up, but at least it got rid of the decoding artefacts for subsampled images.)
If it is implemented as per the legislation, the UK would need to be disconnected from the global internet, and most activity economic or otherwise would cease overnight. I should really retract my original position, things in the UK would be very different.

Honestly, it kind of needs to happen properly, otherwise people will never learn. Allowing these half baked pieces of legislation to pass and then not implementing them except for some edge case allows the idiots who write it and promote it to claim they were right all along.

The first hurdle in trying to make simple multipage apps with handwritten HTML/CSS is, as the author mentioned, getting to the step where you have reused components across pages and have to jump into a server-side templating setup like PHP, or use something that introduces a build step if you want to stay static. I don't know why there isn't a simple method for including HTML partials incrementally in handwritten sites without doing either of these. WebComponents and slots seemed perfect for this but they force you to define them with JS.

That is not true at all, "fearless concurrency" gives no valuable guarantees at all and is widely seen as one of the worst concurrency models in literature.
Downtown BH and around Savassi iirc have very good murals. I like seeing them instead of the pixo tags we see at the top of the buildings. Honestly, I wouldn't mind pixo that much if it was colorful, like someone posted a picture from the Paris metro. It's still illegal, but at least it's not just a dick swinging contest seeing who's going higher, it looks nicer.
If we're going to discuss the term, none of that is actual theoretical communism.

The founders of the USSR were adamant that true communism wasn't achievable without first going through all their bullshit committee rule authoritarian stages.

As for socialism, there's another heavily abused overly broad term used to sweep all manner of not actually good for the people systems under a label.

Many G20 countries have sound implementations of good social policy that in countries such as the USofA would be described as "far left", "socialism", or even "communism".

I'm no fan of the USSR, post USSR, CCP states .. but it feels very odd to call them communist when they're so much at odds with self-governance, local communal control, and so many of the things discussed as communism prior to the October Revolution.

Communism was what people wanted, a boot on the neck was what they got.
If we're now talking about blocking sunlight from space, why not block it with solar panels? The power can be beamed back to Earth to drive carbon capture devices, along with powering AC and everything else. I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as it can be made safe. Some have said it can here on HN. Indeed even if global warming wasn't an existential threat we should be doing that to capture more low entropy energy from the sun with solar stationary panels in the same orbit as earth. Long term we could join them together with carbon nanotube cables to make a partial dyson sphere. Why should all this energy be wasted out of the solar system?
Racket calls it a syntax error. I defer to them on the classification of their errors.
> "Destroy the environment" invokes some rather grandiose associations for what is essentially pulverizing a steel tube in the middle of nowhere.

This cavalier attitude to what it means to affect the environment is exactly what brought us to a steady march into climate disaster. The middle of nowhere is still an environment for other species, not showing a little respect or consideration for that is exactly the kind of moral arrogance from humankind we need to look into and fix.
At the same stage in development, SLS also had zero successful launches. So that's not very meaningful.
AFAIK flame diverters at Boca Chica would be technologically very challenging because of high ground water level, that is why they try other solutions.

Your comment sounds cynical but I totally agree with you. As a long time (now ex) trader I can tell you that the professionals have a tremendous information advantage over the retail investor. And even then they don't make money consistently. Edge is everything.

Regarding insider info, I apply the cockroach theory: there's never just one. You see the SEC bring insider trading charges all the time. This is probably a fraction of what really goes on in the markets.
It's language-agnostic. The language with the most advanced concurrency memory model is C++.
I obviously don't know this exact situation.

But I've been in one, where a customer offered "patches", despite our software not being open for contributions. Not only were they inconsistent with our standards, they were hard to read and had some subtle security issues on careful review. I'm still suspecting it was an attempt to plant a backdoor.

In any case, even if legit, it was a lot of work on our side to just review and clean it. Far more than if we just did it ourselves.

This is different for OSS, which should have external contributions as main workflow. Ours wasn't prepared for external contributions.

Maybe the same is with Plausible?
incredibly bad take
> absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Exactly. It's a significant cognitive bias / logical fallacy that's very easy to fall for leading to wrong conclusions.

The not-inclusion of factor A for lack of evidence is not evidence of A not being a factor.
Last time I checked it is.

No, not a framework. The fundamental idea of a framework is that it's reusable, and there are inherent compromises and complexities which are a direct result of making reusability a goal.

I've adopted lots of code, some good and some terrible. Framework-based code is only easier to understand if I already know the framework and sometimes not even then if the original developers mostly had to fight their framework.

The "app architecture" does not become obsolete because nothing has come along to replace it and it was already simple enough that Stack Overflow was never a necessary part of development.

Both comments are right. Projectional Editors are the thing to avoid parsers (instead of parsing you spend time in the editor though). And MPS is indeed a beast.
Or why not launch from the water directly? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Dragon_(rocket)

More practically for Starship, I think one problem with the wharf idea is that you need to get a 5000t rocket there. Not unsolvable, but expensive.

In fact, the problem isn't that making a launch pad that is able to withstand the thrust of Starship is impossible, they could have simply copied the Saturn V launch pad design. But the Saturn V launch pad design is (intentionally, for historical reasons) way overbuilt and expensive, prompting SpaceX to attempt a more economical solution.

We're hiring for validate.buildingsmart.org

In the construction sector we've long communicated using drawings primarily. A recent trend is to communicate using semantic information models (Building Information Modelling). We're a vibrant open community (e.g https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/)

Data integrity, validation and trust are key concerns when exchanging such models. Under the umbrella of the main standardization organization in this field, we have been building validate.buildingsmart.org based on open source software for some time now. We've built quite a successful prototype to demonstrate feasibility and gather a first audience.

Now, we're looking to further develop the web platform and scale up for some exciting new features such as software application metrics and certification.

We're looking for a seasoned freelance/part-time dev. Affinity with AEC is not a prerequisite, but familiarity with some of the following things is: Django, cloud native, feature flagging platforms, Azure (databases, cli, auth, ...), Selenium or similar, k8s/terraform/portainer.

When it comes to reading I believe the best way to help a child learn is simply for parents (or as you also suggest, teachers, if its smaller group / 1 to 1) to (1) take the time and effort to read to kids, and (2) find high quality children's fiction that's interesting and motivating for the child to read themselves. Usually can be found at the library. or second-hand children's classics. So free or cheap. Our daughter is an excellent reader because she's a "bookworm", and her younger brother looks to be going the same way. She is hooked on fantasy fiction, he more on non-fiction about animals, space, dinosaurs. Some people wonder how they're such good readers. My answer is always. - give them books that make reading a joy and fun, then people want to, then they learn. To be honest, its incredible how schools manage to demotivate kids and they end up as "slow readers". Barring some kind of disability, I don't think that's a natural state for a child.
In regards to the specific UI concern around it feeling claustrophobic, I can see that but I feel like there are many use cases where focus via constraints is very useful. Analyzing abstract ideas into a real thing can be powerful at helping humans see the connections and hidden relationships that are sometimes difficult to see in the digital realm.

That is essentially the AR value proposition in it's entirety in my opinion. Meeting the human experience half way, so we can use our immense spatial reasoning skills in an environment that supports them.

This is great to hear. Demoscene is one of the most influential things I have came across my entire life, and changed how I code forever.

I remember watching Farbrausch's "fr-08 .the .produkt" [0] when it came out and telling myself "If a computer can do this with 64KB of data, at this speed, my programs should be able to do the same, or at least shall be close". I was forever poisoned at this point, and this simple sentence shaped my whole academic life and career.

The government can only spend so much money without things breaking down. When some of that money goes to bloat, that is waste. Despite it still being in the economy. And it's not about some kind of personal approval factor. If the government pays 2x what it could have paid for the same level of quality, that's entirely objective.

Yes, mechanical vibrations was what I was talking about, but of course there are also requirements regarding the electromagnetic environment.

Every payload has to be matched to the spectrum of the carrier. For the MAQSATs is was just easier than usual, because of their simplicity. The Ariane 5 Users's manual is actually public[1] and you can look up the actual requirements in Chapter 3, if you are curious.

On desktop because the UI is not suitable for it, and most of the apps would not work as well as their desktop counterparts.
Server because background apps get starved of resources, put to sleep, and then killed. And you don't want that to happen to your database.
For me, a 1 pixel asymmetry in a button at medium ppi is noticeable and mildly distracting. I don't mind it much for UI, but I understand why others would want to avoid it. I tend to set my ui and toolbars to auto-hide. Personally, the reasons why I avoid it are text rendering and gaming usage.
> You do realize that the traffic will be moving at the speed of walking then, or ?

walkable paths do not usually overlap with cars/bicycle lane/bus lanes.

but they are very effective to reduce the use of vehicles for routine activities (grocery, schools, catching public transport, meeting friends, going out for a drink, etc.)

Also traffic speed is actually not that relevant, in Rome, where I live, most of the time cars move at an average speed lower than 10 km/h, the real issue is avoiding congestions, not making cars move faster.

15-20 km/h is more than enough to do what you have to do in a reasonable time.

where I live in Rome to reach the station I can either take the subway (5 stops, 11 minutes), the bus (~20-25 minutes), a cab (~15-20 minutes) or my car ~30-35 minutes and forget about parking it.

fast tracks for cars can be moved outside of the city, like the great ring around Rome.

If you push all your code into the type system, you're basically just writing your program in a clunkier, less readable language. So, you will just end up having to debug your type system, which defeats the whole purpose. I think expressive type systems are great, but like most things in engineering, it's a trade-off; the complexity of having to manually manage invariants vs. the complexity of managing the type system.
Fair opinion. I might agree, but the manner of this “disagreement” was clearly outside the bounds of any reasonable code of conduct. I would not support such a law if it permitted workplaces to turn into places where screaming obscenities at each other over government policies were considered protect speech.
I'd like to substitute your picture for a more plausible one: imagine a world full of incredibly wealthy robber barons, using their fortunes to ensure that "colored" workers stick to their designated bathrooms, putting lead into everything because dying is something that only happens to the poor, and refusing jobs to workers with the wrong skull shape.

And if you think owning a home is hard, just wait until every property in your city is owned by a group of immortal British lords who insist on women dressing modestly and "No Irish need apply" signs everywhere. This may not be too far away from what your actual town looks like right now, but at least we currently have the hope that those people will die and be replaced by slightly-saner ones.
