Survivorship bias though; did they report on anyone that held the account for a long time and lost money?

But yeah, this is the generalised advice; spread your investments, index funds, and wait. The market's trend over long term always goes up. It's just that it's more of a retirement plan than a get rich quick plan; people want or need money early in life, buy a house, be financially secure.

I think it was better for everyone back when, when the Simpsons started airing, where a single low education level income was enough to buy a house and support a whole family. That was wealth.
> That was because the networking standards prior to the web were complicated and not well documented.

I have to disagree with this one. I have written networking applications with X Window UI in C from scratch only by reading man pages.
Broadly speaking, any individual or organisation working in a regulated industry is directly incentivised to either maintain the current status quo of conservatism, or increase it further.

Maintaining existing conservative approaches brings a huge amount of 'CYA' with little direct downside. Trying to even slightly roll back from a conservative position places all of the risk on the individual or individuals responsible, with a huge downside versus a small incremental upside that few will likely appreciate. It's mostly a thankless endeavour

I see this regularly in a different industry (with FDA, EMA) and it's what SpaceX are dealing with here. While I'm not arguing that their decision to launch with the existing stage 0 was correct, their decision to do something differently has introduced that much larger downside - further delays and potential censure from the FAA, and opprobrium from commentators and internet forums alike.

Yes and this GUI application should be cross platform so make it Electron.

Wait, there has been a leak from the company so we need some security staff on it and maybe mandated TFA.

And it's nice to have a way to call people and not only chat.

I wonder if there is already an app that does that, even if it's bloated it would be more convenient...
dang, now inexplicably I need his opinion on things...
I was referring to the fact that interaction with the disk itself is asynchronous. Indeed, the interface provided by a kernel for files is synchronous, and for most cases, that's what programmers probably want.

But I also think the interest in things like io_uring in Linux reflect that people are open to asynchronous file IO, since the kernel is doing asynchronous work internally. To be honest, I don't know much about io_uring though - I haven't used it for anything serious.

There's no perfect choice (as always) -- After all, for extremely high-performance scenarios, people avoid the async nature of IO entirely, and dedicate a thread to busy-looping and polling for readiness. That's what DPDK does for networking. And I think for io_uring and other Linux disk interfaces have options to use polling internally.
The tree of Spatial Computing has many branches. The use of Tangible User Interface mechanics in a super specific application like this is a perfect bottom up design from function approach and I love it. He has all the building blocks, no pun intended, to reshape the same experience deeply customized for any number of domains like digital twin monitoring of manufacturing plant lines or dynamic ERP dashboards or K-12 like the original Dynamic Land work. Looking forward to whatever he is getting ready to reveal.

A pity really - I still believe that actual, rigorous deconstruction of a text is technically feasible, and used to wonder why nobody is even trying.

Of course, a humanities scholar with the hacker rigor doesn't become a literary theorist or think tank talking head - they become a badass fiction writer that we probably haven't heard of.
Yeah, figured the file access permission was the issue. Thanks for the help!

Both sides see the same thing. Do you think Russia thinks that appeasement is good, and that they didn't embolden NATO by allowing its enlargement? Do you think they think of NATO members' bombing of Yugoslavia, destroying Libya, etc. or carving off territories as "one-offs"[1] and any response is completely unprovoked? The Western media and governments have systematically all put the word "unprovoked" in front of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but that word does a lot of work. It basically begs the question.

It's not just Putin. Every Russian president hated NATO expansion. Boris Yeltsin angrily withdrew from treaties when NATO expanded, having protested it all the way [2]. And Boris Yeltsin did so much of US bidding that he was effectively a Manchurian Candidate [3] [4] [5] but that still wasn't enough for the USA, they told him to go pound sand with regard to NATO expansion. Medvedev invaded Georgia in 2008, when its president started making moves to get into NATO. Replace Putin, and you'll very likely get a bigger hawk in Russia. The same works in USA ... after Kennedy was assassinated, LBJ went on a bombing spree in south Asia, bombing Laos more than any country has ever been bombed [6], in a secret "special military operation" that killed huge numbers of people 3000 miles away, motivated by the "domino theory" of stopping Communism (similar to "denazification", except it was half a planet away and literally presented no threat to USA).

Recall also that Putin and Russia did everything they could within the law to protest and try to prevent the US invasion of Iraq. Putin was the first to call George W Bush after 9/11 and offered support and joint counter-terrorism activities, which they did do. And yet it was George W Bush who pushed for Ukraine and Georgia to be in NATO, in 2008 [7] even though the population of Ukraine did NOT want to be in NATO [8]

NATO expansion to China now is just continuing more of the same. You can see it in real-time now. USA already has economic inter-dependency with China. What we the people have to do (in USA and China and Russia) is require our politicians to record all their negotiations on video, and we will then be able to see how our public servants fail us, before it is too late. It will create an incentive to act in good faith, like bodycams for cops. ("Oops, sorry, all our cameras malfunctioned that day" would be extremely suspicious.)

> Cinnamon seems to be forgotten/underappreciated, I really enjoy using it. I've tried a range of different desktops environments, and I end up finding cinnamon just does what I expect, with reasonable defaults.

The Linux Mint Cinnamon version is actually pretty good: https://linuxmint.com/download.php

But also, XFCE has always worked well enough - it's lightweight, responsive and has most of the features you'd expect, albeit little to no eye candy.
The advantage being that existing fuel-burning plants can theoretically be seamlessly replaced by solar/wind/hydro/nuclear or more efficient fuel-burning plants down the road -- electricity is electricity no matter where it comes from. A thermal-engine vehicle will be stuck burning the same fuel at more or less the same efficiency for its entire lifetime.

(As a cool aside, some fuel-burning power plants are already crazy efficient. For example, my university has a trigeneration plant that, in addition to electricity, provides steam and chilled water to the campus by extracting the residual heat that would normally be sent straight to the atmosphere. I believe the plant uses an ammonia absorption cycle to produce cold water from a heat source, which is pretty awesome in its own right.)

Now, I'm not sure if this process happens fast enough for an EV to be more efficient over the projected lifetime of the battery. I think it ultimately comes down to your local regulatory environment, existing distribution of energy sources, and public willingness to invest in more efficient infrastructure.
there are some interesting accounts in this list!
In this article, we are going to use Apko to build a container image called debug-tools that contains some command line tools. I use this image to debug my Kubernetes applications with ephemeral containers.
I think the comment was about async in general, not just Rust (although that's the topic of OP).

In Python, cancellation causes an exception to be injected at the await site, which allows it to clean up whatever resources it likes (even if that means making other async calls). If you use Trio or the new TaskGroup in asyncio (inspired by Trio) then an exception leaking out of one task causes the others to be cancelled, and then the task group waits for all tasks to complete (successfully, with exception, or cancelled). It's extremely nice and easy to write reliable programs.

In principle, I think many of these ideas could be applied to threaded IO. But I haven't seen it done in practice.
I don’t think GPT is legally possible, at least for code generation. AI companies are completely delusional in thinking that they can just use whatever they find on the internet, regardless of license. Regardless of court outcomes, artists, writers, and FOSS devs will lobby congress if necessary to stop this this nonsense. OpenAI has done less than 1% of the work that makes ChatGPT work, most of the work was in producing the training data, and yet OpenAI receives 100% of the profits.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. If you know the code for year x, you can quickly calculate the code for year x-1 or x+1. If you want to be able to quickly do this for any given year you would have to know the code for every year by heart. I just updated my blog post: Now it contains the year codes from 1800 to 2039. It also contains a small Go script that generates all these year codes and all you need to do if you want more year codes is to adjust the for-loop interval.
I am not in the field but I just felt trapped by the whole thing. To me it appears to be skeuomorphic design to the nth degree. Why would you create an entire system of artifacts in the real to replace something you could do more flexibly with higher resolution and better visualization in CAD?

Like if these were real processes you were doing in the lab and they were somehow being captured more accurately or efficiently, I could see that perhaps making sense.

But this just seems like extra steps and the novelty is you’re working on a table. It feels claustrophobic somehow.
Well we’ve made heaps more people live that long, and live their potential.

For me, Bostrom is an egotist of the type that wishes to escape his thanatotic drive and acceptance that life just ends. It’s unfortunate, terrible even, but it seems as natural as birth. Proposing solutions such as “mind uploading” are not only ridiculous but the reality of the idea would be hellish. What’s worse is that he’s a philosopher so actually creating the technology to do it simply is not his problem – someone else will have to do the implementation, regardless of how nightmarishly difficult it could be. He could just as easily be inventing hoverboards or time machines. It’s not his problem to stay within the bounds of possibility, even the accepted bounds of what can realistically be designed and coded and implemented – he just has his graphs and statistics of work that other people have done in the past, and can now order them to fulfil his desires in future, one of the main ones being his egotistic desire for his ego to never die.

Its having the courage to act on your convictions. Meta was on a P/e of 13 earning billions of dollars in profit and generating huge amounts of cash flow, but it had effectively gone ex growth and it's metaverse investment was a dud. I bought because it looked like great value, but once it's repriced to take that into account where's the growth story?
People are hating because Elon == Bad. Twitter is pretty good these days, I see almost no spam and content quality has improved.
Feels like that's the endgame, even if it's decades away. Being able to arbitrarily address a human's supposed 576-megapixel visual resolution trumps basically anything else. Don't think this is relevant for this next generation of UIs though (if that generation does indeed materialise).

They were reusing a material that is not safe to reuse that way. If they were only testing the design, it's unlikely anyone would be dead.
It's been a while since I dipped into it, but Web Components use this thing called Shadow DOM to encapsulate the CSS inside from being affected by the stuff outside. Great for compartmentalization, but unnecessary for my personal needs.

So if you're curious about the concept, check out Custom Elements. Same thing, but no Shadow DOM. I found them to work quite well for a toy project I made a couple years ago.

Plenty of languages give you the option of writing macros, however the difference between writing macros in a lisp and those languages is like the difference between using a general purpose programming language and an accidentally Turing-complete one.
Thanks for the insight. From my layman point of view, 10%-20% savings in the long run still looks like something to go for, taking as a reference the multinational I work for, where a 7% saving on whatever is seen as a triumph. I'd say the greed point still stands, the additional logistics involved are just how it works.
It's not const (const fn has a very specfic meaning in Rust), but other than that you're correct.
My first programming language is JavaScript back when it only lived in the browser. The compile target of the browser is, and always has been, the DOM. The DOM is a tree model. When I learned to appreciate that in my first year of programming everything became simple. Even before JavaScript became fast you could do most things with relatively high performance easily cross browser once you achieved that solid foundation. No frameworks, no unnecessary abstraction libraries for vanity, no bullshit.
Indeed, thank you for the comment!
That clears that up thanks.
If that is the metric then the best investors are not passive stock picking investors, they run businesses and hammer out deals. Which in some sense just make them the best (or among the best) corporations.

There is also Thinking Forth, by the same author, Leo Brodie, IIRC.
I would expect the second / third generation of sunglasses form would be showing you a high quality video display instead of seeing "through" it - so I suppose correcting for vision problems would be zooming or other effects on the video. This of course is my expectation based on no knowledge in the field and probably sounds silly to those with that knowledge.
Have you ever written deep macros or only surface level ones?
The reason we left that paradigm in _Operating Systems_ is that OS's are supposed to be resilient. A single buggy app could easily freeze/crash the whole Windows 3.1 system, because the system has the naive assumption that all the apps are benevolent, bug-free, and happily co-operate with time-sharing. Try the same in Windows 2000; you can't, because the system is pre-emptive and forcibly ends the time slots of apps that don't yield. (And possibly kills the app; "MyApp isn't responding" etc.)

However, that same reason doesn't apply within a single app, because a single app by a single author _can_ safely co-operate with itself. So co-operative time sharing can work and make sense within single app.
Exactly, competition is good!

It's not going to be enforced that way even if that's what the text says. Although it might get spicy if one of the megacorps decides the legal risk is real and withdraws from the UK market.
C's preprocessor is such an 'accident'. But eg Rust's macros and template Haskell are very deliberately designed.
I forgot about Forth. Surely the king of non-syntax.
SpaceX has never had a human fatality so far, not even among the ground crew, which is a lot better than the Apollo or the Space Shuttle program, or even some smaller space startups like Scaled Composites. It is typical for large engineering enterprises to rack up fatalities over time, but SpaceX stands at 0 after existing for 21 years, which is actually a remarkable achievement. Of course, they were lucky sometimes; but so were the others in the list.

SpaceX's development program is explosive, but I see no evidence that they are "techbro idiots" who risk actual human lives. The stuff that explodes is remotely controlled hardware, and I am personally fine with that. You can't have rapid technological development with at least some negative externalities.
The post itself says that publicly announcing the policy in advance would be detrimental. The policy is now public and they clearly notify the offender of violation. It probably took bot maintainers less than an hour to update their scripts to pause attempts/switch accounts on first failed request. It's the humans who keep trying. Any heuristic they'd want to apply to detect bots would be applied to action history, tuned to acceptable false positive rates and silently rolled out. This circus doesn't align with the statements at all.
That part wasn't well put, it was absurd techbro bullshit. Developing fast instead of carefully works if you're making a ride hailing app or a takeout ordering app or a social network. It absolutely doesn't if you're building a rocket.

If Uber experiences a catastrophic failure, some people might end up earning less money, some people might be late or miss important events. If a rocket experiences a catastrophic failure, debris may destroy the environment around it (as it did) and people on board may die (as they would have if there were any).
Thank you, that was insightful and a genuinely a good comment.
No, that would be just Windows doing its thing /s
In the meantime though we've started using a substantial fraction of those thick fiber bundles and dark fiber is getting harder and harder to find. Barring another revolution in technology I suspect that at some point we'll be laying even more of those big bundles, or even bigger ones.
While the stage zero stuff was clearly dumb, I don't know if it was "risk to life" dumb given the exclusion zone.

My ignorance permits the possibility that exclusion zone wasn't big enough, for example.

But it did have an exclusion zone, and Musk gave it, what, 50% odds of making it past the launch tower? Or was 50% a different test launch?
Similarly Forth doesn't have a parser (though some implementations call their scanner a parser) and is great for writing DSLs
All I know in relation to this is that some Parkinson's medications can increase the desire to gamble with high risk, which I guess is a negative temperament for an investor.
That's a rather uncharitable judgement based on just one article...

Well, it is certainly valuable and payed for. I know because part of that money used to pay my bread;-)

Even if the money doesn't come from an external customer it's payed for. In addition to that, the fact that for the Ariane it is ultimately all tax money anyways makes the way it flows even less important.
Interesting take, but I think you're drastically underestimating how much work the programming part is. I think currently at least 90%+ of the work is actually programming / implementing the thing, and that's what AI is going to replace.

> It's not just Putin. Every Russian president hated NATO expansion.

Of course Russia and Russian presidents hate NATO, it stops them conducting imperialistic wars against the countries that they wish to subjugate.

No one should care what Russia thinks, it's clear not allowing countries like Georgia and Ukraine into NATO just causes Russia to invade them anyway.
> We still need them if we have multiple coroutines using a shared resource across multiple yield points.

We still need them if we have multiple parallel tasks (coroutines spawned non-locally) using a shared resource across multiple yield points.

As long as the accesses to the shared variable are separated in time, sharing is fine.

This is correct code:

let mut foo = 1;
async { foo += 1 }.await;
foo += 1;
println!("{foo}");

See - a shared variable used across multiple yield points.
Another (more useful) example I showed below in another post with `select!`.
