That's a fair point!

I mean, there are some options out there like Odoo, or stuff like Nextcloud/Collabora, OpenProject and you can run your own mail server etc., but those will increasingly feel like bad ideas for someone who needs something that "just works" and also has deadlines to manage.

It's a bit like "Nobody got fired for choosing IBM", except nowadays with Microsoft/Google/Amazon cloud offerings, the Jira's of the world and so on.
> No study I've seen (quite a few) has ever shown that.

There's a really great one that shows that Typescript or Flow prevents around 15% of Javascript bugs.

It would be difficult for a study to show that Rust's strong typing or borrow checker prevents bugs, but anyone who has used Rust extensively knows it to be true. It's similar to Haskell's strong types and immutability preventing bugs. Google "if it compiles it works".

I think you could do a study to prove this, but experiments aren't the only way to get knowledge. They are the best when possible but sometimes they are impractical. Programming language studies tend to focus on "get some students to spend a few hours writing code from scratch" tasks which can even lead to conclusions that are the opposite of reality for realistic programming. For example that static types hurt productivity.

> the vast majority of bugs can still occur and in practice, do occur.

Right, but they are much less likely to occur.

I understand it like this: the author is sorry he had to fork the project instead of supporting the main project. But also sorry that he saw no other option.
One problem I have with C++ coroutines is the implicit capture of the "this" pointer in member functions. One can also accidentally pass arguments by reference resulting in lifetime issues, but at least the parameter types are explicitly stated.

The post mentions that it might be the caller's or the callee's responsibility to keep the object alive until the end of the coroutine. This is purely based on conventions however, and different libraries might have different conventions. If the caller is responsible for it, extra care needs to be taken whenever the function is called -- the code shown in the post seems fairly complex to me and easy to get wrong. Also, I am not sure how the callee could safely implement keeping the object alive if lazy coroutines are used: Even if the first statement in the coroutine is retaining a strong reference on the object, there might still be a time between the call and the initial resume of the coroutine where the object is destroyed. I think it would have been great to provide explicit capture lists for coroutines, similar to lambdas.

All of this gets especially confusing once you try to use lambdas together with coroutines. AFAIK, C++ lambdas are basically just structs overloading operator(). In a coroutine, only the "this" pointer of the structure is captured and the caller needs to ensure that the object is not only alive, but also at the same memory address until the end of the coroutine. This is very easy to get wrong in my experience.
L-Systems, in my opinion, are much more simple, expressive and easy to understand, and actually can result in very similar structures. There's also the CFDG/Context Free (curiously by Chris Coyne) system which allows grammar-based inference which produces structures sembling bioforms, also very straightforward. Also continuation of this reasoning is Structure Synth...

I'm a bit baffled by the focus on SEO on the latest frontend libraries.

Sure it makes sense if you're building a store or marketplace that needs to be publicly indexed, but for most web applications SEO is only important for landing page.
I love how cement is now used to abandon climate positive projects.

"Oh, let's nkt replace NG or coal or oil with a dam, because cement!"

Note that the same is true of wind farms, tital farms, because these things use massive amounts of cement vs lifetime + power output. EG, cement footings, etc.

Probably more cement is used, per kw produced, with wind farms in ocean.

I wonder, has there been extensive work done, examining life of project, comparing all types of projects, and power output, as well as "how consistent" energy output is? Adding things in like "wind power only vs a dam, means massive amounts of pollution due to battery creation and disposal, and lifetime costs".

Probably not.

And so politicians have reasons to opt out of everything. "Oh, but that's not really green" "Oh but that isn't"

All based upon some dude, smoking a fatty, saying "woha! concrete uses co2 in creation" without any numbers, impact studies, and comparatives.
“Spitznagel believes the rising interest expense on federal government debts will ultimately constrain fiscal spending, slow economic growth”

Yet if I give you $100 and you spend it that will create extra transactions and extra tax. Therefore increased interest payments are just the same as mailing a stimulus cheque to those who already have money.

More transactions = more growth not less.

We can of course change the distribution. Pass legislation requiring base rates to be set to zero permanently. [0]

Government debt rates will then automatically fall to Japanese levels. As Japan demonstrates.

Counterpoints:

In EU (and generally in whole developed world) the agriculture is heavily subsidised and it dwarfs any market effects.

Other natural resources extraction is capital intensive and thus usually owned by foreign investors thus profit goes directly out of the country.

Also, how he describes foreign trade worked so easily maybe in 1990s. Now the IP is much stringently enforced. And it is almost all owned by American corporations.

Governance issues are mentioned offhand but these are major issue. EU tries to offset regional differences with cohesion funds, but increasingly, there's sheer lack of competent staff in receiving countries to actually use the money as intended.

Network effects are completely omitted. Imagine your whole cohort and support network just vanishes.
I know very little about it. I referred to it as "Plato" only because it used to show a picture of Plato sitting on a rock when it downloaded a new paper into its library. My guess is that it used someone's donated account to do that.
From the article and the wording it seems that the distribution of the music is the biggest issue in this case. I don't think the Internet Archive would be in trouble if they archived it offline and then published it after the copyright term expired.
News, and perhaps journalism as a whole, is in a race to the bottom and it’s simply impossible to ask them to hold off on running a story with the title “new material promises to change the world” until it’s proven.

The young people I know hate going into the office, it's all the older folks that want to go in. I've been almost entirely remote since I've graduated and haven't missed being in person at all. I've developed my skills more being left alone and having time to read and learn on my own than I ever have being forced to sit in an office and struggle to be productive. I'm absolutely not established, but I've had no issues convincing others of work of my impact. You simply need to take writing seriously and learn how to communicate your work.

Companies are just learning they have terrible onboarding processes and documentation. Turns out those things are important and being in-person is an expensive and poor quality bandaid.
It also depend on what requirements your business has and who you have available. The skillets are different and they overlap in places, but one way or the other if your business is growing your operations requirements will grow.

I am hugely in favour of AWS for web startups I am involved with because 1) I know AWS very well, 2) they provide hundreds of thousands of euros/dollars of credit to startups (I think all the big cloud vendors do at this stage), 3) it's useful to have architectural flexibility, and 4) they can take on a bunch of the security and availability burden that can otherwise be very labour intensive in a small company.

Also you can pry S3 and RDS Aurora out of my cold dead hands!
> Hetzner is really awful with admissions of new accounts.

> I tried to register twice but got denied before I even got the chance to complete registration.

Am in EU, had the same happen to me.

Tried creating an account when I was in university, they just suspended it for no reason, even before the process was fully completed. I even sent them copies of my documents to verify my identity, yet they chose not to do any business with me.

A few years later creating an account succeeded and I've been a customer of theirs since - no idea what changed, but I'm not going to move over all of my stuff to them after that experience, or at least keep all of my backups (that I need to restore my sites on any hosting provider) local to my homelab with rsync or something like that.

Then again, maybe being stringent like that works well for them, for whatever reason. That said, their prices are better than pretty much every other platform out there, at least for basic VPSes. Maybe Contabo can compete with them directly, though.

The traveling analogies make no sense.

For most companies their software is their business. Take away the software and the company stops functioning.

Their employees aren’t just visiting their software every few weeks or so. They’re using it every day from morning to evening.

There is no travel involved. Your software is your home.

So really a better analogy would be renting vs buying your home. The rental comes with the furniture and for several things that might go wrong the landlord will come and fix it, whereas when you own the house, you have to buy the furniture and arrange it, and if anything goes wrong you are responsible for fixing it.

Of course, the analogy breaks down in many ways because when you’re on Prem you are buying established software with a support license so if something does fail the support license should provide as much, if not more service than you would get on AWS.

The entire analogy is completely pointless because it adds a layer of indirection for no reason other than for some reason tech people absolutely love making analogies to physical objects.

The cool thing about Nix is that everything is compiled into a big immutable content-addressed store. Then switching the configuration is a matter of ensuring if that particular config has been built and switching some symlinks to the right place in the store.
No idea about his specific fund's pricing but the "traditional" pricing model for hedge funds is 2 and 20, ie, 2% of assets under management plus 20% of profits.

But also, a performance fee is kind of like an option in that it has an asymmetrical payoff - if you make 100 in profit, you get 20, but if you lose 100, you don't have to pay 20. All other things being equal, the expected value of a performance fee will increase with portfolio size as long as there is a chance you are right (and there is always a chance you are right).

Yes, the predicted events will have to come to pass eventually to collect on the performance fee. Nobody (not even this guy) knows when that will happen, but everyone knows that it will happen eventually, and in the meantime, you can position yourself so as to maximise the payoff when they do.
They might be preventing new malicious actors from signing up. Maybe. Catching a lot (anecdotally, from this thread) of legit users along the way.

Meanwhile, what have they done to catch and ban malicious actors who passed verification long ago and have been abusing other services on the internet from the safety of Hetzner's network for months or years?
Freedom of speech as a concept is relatively simple, Wikipedia has pretty good definition,

“Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction.”

> The definition is a gigantic pile of judicial precedents, which lawyers spend years learning.

The thing is, no country has 100% unfettered freedom of speech.

Judicial precedents are all about what is and isn’t an exception to freedom of speech under US law - i.e. what they debate about is “freedom of speech”, they are debating about whether X falls under the exceptions that the country has chosen.

OK, got it. I think what you're describing is Gradient Descent on the Normal Equations to solve an overdetermined linear system. Indeed in such a system dim(x) == dim(b) == d. Matrix A is fixed though and not part of the estimation but you're correct about the complexity of gradient computation which is indeed O(d^2).

The point of masks was always to limit community spread, principally to prevent a situation where hospitals are so full you can't treat regular issues like car crash victims. In practice that means you do try to keep vulnerable people out of the hospital but it's not the main concern if you're goal is to prevent a really bad public health situation.

Masks and social distancing absolutely had an effect on the situation, and the main reason we had to do unfocused solutions as you call them is because people infected with Covid did not always have symptoms, and it was extremely contagious. If algae is exponentially covering a pond, it covers half the pond the day before it covers the whole pond. The exponential nature of infection is really hard to reason about and I think people like you really aren't understanding that at the time, with no vaccines, the only way to protect the most vulnerable was to reduce community spread. You also don't have a magic eight ball telling you who might get hospitalized. We had really fit people dying in two weeks. There was no way to tell who was and wasn't vulnerable.
In some worlds this is so true.

Maybe industrial applications for dust-heavy environments or avoiding movable parts in a general make up most of the fanless niche, but some manufacturers offer desktop-like system as well. Desktop-like because extensibility is limited: these systems are typically built around mini-ITX boards, and the passive cooling solution may have limited options for cooling SSDs. Sustained CPU performance can be quite good, particularly with the Intel T series or the AMD equivalent.

DIY is a bit hit-or-miss because if you want a truly silent system, you need select components for absence of coil whine, and I haven't found a good way to do that yet.

> Note now that the stacked rectangles have the same horizontal width, and therefore must have the same vertical width.

This is the most important thing to use and what, were it included in the system in the OP, would simplify it quite a bit with not much more complexity. But the value of the approach I guess is the use of only pre-defined constraints.

Another route is to use that h_1 * (x+y) = 3A = 9 * (x+y) so h_1 = 9
If you spent more time with rust your opinion of it would change. It's strength has nothing to do with rewriting software. It's easy to maintain, and pretty fast to write.

I prefer go for cloud integrations because they tend to have the best implementations and most solid APIs. That's about it though.

Python is a good bash replacement, but I don't like writing large projects in it. It's hard to maintain and the errors that come from production are never straightforward. Good for some medium scale mathy compute projects though.

C++ is where I write most math code after prototyping it elsewhere(R or Python)

Rust for me is the answer to most things except, it's ecosystem is a bit weak, and it's a bit of a clout chaser language(not as bad as others though)

It was an 8800 emulator I believe, not 8080. (Edit - I’m mistaken - it was for the 8080 CPU)

Then they wrote the BASIC interpreter on the emulator, copied it to punched paper tape and Allen wrote the loader for that while he was on the plane to demo it for Altair.

On the real Altair 8800 hardware which they had never seen, it worked first time (they must have had some advance knowledge of the Altair’s I/O functions)

It was a series of amazing feats

Edit: maybe this feat was not so famous because the Altair was not sold in numbers like the Apple II, which Steve Wozniak is well known for (25000 Altairs sold vs Apple’s 6 million - plus clones)

James Knochel, 6/18/2022:

"20th Century psychiatrists wrote manuals and procedures for the diagnosis of ‘mental disorders’. They order lab tests and undertake careful study of their patients’ symptoms, and they diagnose the conditions listed in their manuals. They seek regulatory approval of prescriptions to treat the diagnoses. They stopped doing psycho-surgery by mid-century, but still electrocute their patients’ brains when they think the patient will benefit.

They have their own special hospitals, where troubled patients are sent to be stabilized on palliative prescription drugs. The psych wards have little areas for staff to sit in. The staff wear scrubs and badges, keep medical records, and some prescribe prescriptions—[s]he’s the doctor—and they wait for their patients to get better.

They’re doing everything right. The form is perfect. It looks exactly the way it looks in the other medical specialties. But it doesn’t work. No patient recovers as a result of the allopathic drugs provided. Some patients get better anyways—perhaps because they’re fed, perhaps because they’re kept sober—compounding the profession’s confusion."

It's true. People get better in psychiatric incarceration, because there is a predictable, regular daily schedule. There are meals on schedule. There are groups and stuff. You see the same people all the time. You're off TV and you're off the computer, so you need to face reality. You're relieved of burdens such as bill paying, cooking, cleaning, and running your household. You might color by the numbers or work a puzzle, but you've got reality, and it's stripped down and reduced to its essential components. You tend to get better and saner in this environment, if that's your baseline and that's where you tend to go. If your baseline is insanity, then all this regularity may not help.
