Most of the BLAS implementations are in C/C++/ASM, as they're the small performance critical part.
The LAPACK layer above that which calls the BLAS to do the heavy lifting is a much much bigger target, and aside from the most commonly used routines (cholesky, svd) most vendors just ship the FORTRAN code (possibly in automatically converted to C form).

For me, the big problem is libraries. Even a personal file of common functions doesn't seem that well supported, and there just doesn't seem to be a way to get third party libraries.

When I start needing helper functions and splitting it into multiple lines is usually when I reach for Python instead. And then sigh, because my program will be 2 to 3 times bigger. Ruby is a great awk replacement, but unless other people at your job know it, you can't expect others to maintain it.

Old TVs were easy and safe to repair after some minimal training. I learned to do it from a pro when I was 16. As long as you properly discharge the tube and the bigger caps, it's safe to work on.

Battery packs are much worse because they cannot be completely discharged before you work on them, i.e. you have to work on them "hot" while they're still storing energy. It takes more training, more tools, and a dedicated facility to do it safely.

Hello, the author here. It feels great to see my blog on HN!

It was quite a journey, at first I thought I invented a novel concurrency schema. However, it turns out that it was simply a mix of my ignorance and hubris! :-)

Still, I had a lot of fun while designing this data structure and I believe it made a nice story. Ask me anything!

EBikes seem like a very ripe opportunity for open source solutions that could be even better than many packaged products (most of which seem to me to be insanely mass-heavy; a bicycle should be lightweight).

All that's really needed is a battery, motor, controller, and mounting for each. The control scheme could be anything from a simple throttle to tracking pedal pressure.

Indeed, a quick search turned up two OS efforts [0] and [1], and it seems there should be many more — maybe others can post any they know about so as to build a list resource here?

CUDA Fortran was amazing. It had a really nice syntax, which did not feel that odd next to standard Fortran, and great performance. But it faced an uphill battle, was not really well managed and suffered from being coupled with the PGI compiler. I wish they’d put it in gfortran instead.

Also, horses were incredibly dangerous. In NYC in 1900 for example the pedestrian fatality rate from horses was higher than the NYC 2003 pedestrian fatality rate from cars [1].

Similarly in England and Wales deaths from horse-drawn vehicles were around 70 per 1 million people per year in the early 1900s. That's in the same ballpark as motor vehicle deaths in the 1980s and '90s (80-100 per 1 million people per year) [2].

(It should be noted that medical technology is better now. A lot of those 1900 fatalities would probably have been preventable if they had current medical technology).

A lot of people on HN seem to view the horse era as some sort of idyllic safe, quiet, and unobtrusive pedestrian and rider paradise. It was not. From that second article:

> It is easy to imagine that a hundred years ago, when cars were first
appearing on our roads, they replaced previously peaceful, gentle and safe
forms of travel. In fact, motor vehicles were welcomed as the answer to a
desperate state of affairs. In 1900 it was calculated that in England and
Wales there were around 100,000 horse drawn public passenger vehicles,
half a million trade vehicles and about half a million private carriages.
Towns in England had to cope with over 100 million tons of horse droppings
a year (much of it was dumped at night in the slums) and countless gallons
of urine. Men wore spats and women favoured outdoor ankle-length coats
not out of a sense of fashion but because of the splash of liquified
manure; and it was so noisy that straw had to be put down outside
hospitals to muffle the clatter of horses’ hooves. Worst of all, with
horses and carriages locked in immovable traffic jams, transport was
grinding to a halt in London and other cities.

and

> Motor vehicles were welcomed because they were faster, safer,
unlikely to swerve or bolt, better able brake in an emergency, and took up
less room: a single large lorry could pull a load that would take several
teams of horses and wagons – and do so without producing any dung. By
World War One industry had become dependent on lorries, traffic cruised
freely down Oxford Street and Piccadilly, specialists parked their
expensive cars ouside their houses in Harley and Wimpole Street, and the
lives of general practitioners were transformed. By using even the
cheapest of cars doctors no longer had to wake the stable lad and harness
the horse to attend a night call. Instead it was ‘one pull of the handle
and they were off’. Further, general practitioners could visit nearly
twice as many patients in a day than they could in the days of the horse
and trap.

It absolutely is hacking. It's gaining unauthorized access to a system in a way it's not designed for.

That it's easy to hack makes no difference.
Wow, I had couple of those cobalt qube servers running in my room about a decade ago, when I got them really cheap from ebay. I just loved the form factor (being a cube), as it was so unique for a server. It's awesome to hear that these machines are still being actively used.
I don't doubt at all that you are already liable in that situation. But that doesn't mean that it is a good idea to do this. Most people that start on a project like this will have absolutely no idea of how dangerous this is. They will see the 18650's and will make all kinds of assumptions based on their experience with other batteries that have nearly the same form factor (say AA's) and think that this is equally dangerous.

I agree, and was originally going to downvote the parent comment for the same reason, but then realized I think they were replying to this more general point in the GP's post:

> "Do this only orally" is always to hide evidence from a future court discovery.

That is, I've followed enough court cases and news reports to have seen things taken egregiously out of context to agree there could be valid reasons to limit discoverable communications (though not in Tesla's specific case), especially because so few people seem to argue in good faith anymore. For example, lots of times in long email or slack threads people throw out ideas, even if they're not particularly well thought out, because that's part of what being in an open, healthy organization entails. And then I've seen these communications presented as some sort of official corporate position instead of brainstorming.
Again, Python cannot have REPL in principle because like half of the language isn't even printable... you don't have anything to attach your __repr__() to. Most Python code either doesn't produce any values worth evaluating further (i.e. None) or produces values that are impossible to convert back to executable code (a lot of the stuff in the "standard" library produces non-actionable "decoration" style renderings, eg.:

>>> import socket
>>> socket.socket()
<socket.socket fd=3, family=2, type=1, proto=0, laddr=('0.0.0.0', 0)>

You'd have to rewrite over half of the "standard" library to make it print something reasonable, and why would you at that point call the resulting language "Python"?
You're welcome and I'm sorry to hear about your parents; some things in life just suck and dying from cancer is among them.

IIRC yahwism came from the canaanite polytheism and while that god is very similar to zeus it is actually a different and unrelated tradition.

Similarly certain numbers and especially the flood theme recur across mythologies that are proven to be unconnected.

You can't take even very clear similarities and use them alone to draw connections between traditions like that. In fact the allure and inevitable failure of this approach was at one point enough of a cliche that the reader's awareness of it is assumed for a major plot point in the novel middlemarch, written 150 years ago.
You can always build from source in this scenario. The cache server lets you skip two things. First, you can prune the leaves of the tree of intermediate files you might need. Second, where you do need to compile/build/link/package, etc., you can do only those steps that are altered by your changes. So you save CPU time and storage space.

> why not just have your source code on said server in the first place, a la p4?

That would be great. A version of git where cloning is almost a no-op, and building is downloading the package assuming you haven't changed anything.

I'm not aware of how p4 allowing this. My recollection of perforce is that I still had most source files locally.
> That's not my reading.

I'm not sure where you actually disagree with me.

I'd be very careful though about drawing conclusions about what exactly polarity means here because 3 examples are not nearly enough-- especially for conclusions like which polarity is more "fact based".

My viewpoint is that the polarity in the algorithm should be akin to a principal component in alignment space (because of how the algorithm works), and you would expect the political parties to be split along a very similar axis in a 2 party system (an emergent property-- if they were not, one party could gain voters or improve cohesiveness of its voter pool by shifting its alignment).
I could use that. I recently read a novel that had a secondary character - incorporeal being - but it had no description of appearance. Aaaargh. How I should see it?
The medicine iirc is quite harsh on your kidney.

And worms aren’t all bad. Your body’s immune system likely welcomes its presence. Our th1-th2 balance is supposed to have evolved with an assumption of helminth infections happening over the course of your life, so having a worm or two is likely a good thing. Supposedly. Don’t go around barefoot in feces to get hook worms. Not anymore than trying to deworm once a week destroying kidneys I suppose.

herb has a talk where he describes its rationale.

it is known as sticky syntax in relation to auto (but specifically when the type on the rhs is explicitly declared and not abstracted away with a function signature)

it removes narrowing, inference, while keeping benefits of auto related to inits etc.

it's a way of telling the compiler we want this type moving forward and adheres to the convention of right-to-left reading w.r.t. resource allocation semantics C++ programmers are often accustomed to.
I think it's a matter of substituting "you" with "any person competent with the necessary non-specialized tooling", where competent means "able to follow a service manual", and obviously "non-specialized" excludes expensive brand-specific one-off tools.

Cars are a mixed bag, because on one hand you have OBD2 and lots of parts can be easily ordered, and on the other hand you have un-obtainable parts, manufacturer-specific code and special tooling (even when there is no business putting custom stuff). And they are also becoming less repairable and have a lot of mechanic-hostile design (it's a meme in the industry).

I have some insight in that because I have actually started repairing cars as a hobby, including non-trivial stuff.
You think this is bad? You should see the lengths people with security clearances will go to in order to hide the fact they need mental healthcare. By the time they finally get it, they're already beaming mental radio commands from Venus.
Security. You have access to stef25_ tables and I don't.

The alternative would be we both have access to the same tables with a permission layer to grant access to row.

Both choices have trade offs but if company makes a mistake and I now have access to your rows? Seems easier to control access at the table layer rather than the column layer.
> Mixing if and when is a very common linguistic quirk.

Or require licensing, like is required in a lot of places for gas or mains electricity work. I don't mind some licensing required to ensure people doing repair work have some minimum level of competence at the task, it just need to not be in the control of the manufacturers. Right to repair for most people is about the right to go to a repair shop of their choosing, not doing the repair themselves, in practice.

If you like the timestamp function, this is available as a tool in the `moreutils` package as `ts`. You can simply pipe the output of any command to ts and have a timestamp prepended to each line it outputs. Extremely useful for streaming logs
> Are there some fundamental aspects of git that would make it either very difficult to improve that, or that would sacrifice some important benefits if they were made?

It’s hard to look at a million files on disk and figure out which ones have changed. Git, by default, examines the filesystem metadata. It takes a long time to examine the metadata for a million files.

The main alternative approaches are:

- Locking: Git makes all the files read-only, so you have to unlock them first before editing. This way, you only have to look at the unlocked files.

- Watching: Keep a process running in the background and listen to notifications that the files have changed.

- Virtual filesystem: Present a virtual filesystem to the user, so all file modifications go through some kind of Git daemon running in the background.

All three approaches have been used by various version control systems. They’re not easy approaches by any means, and they all have major impacts on the way you have to set up your Git repository.

People also want e.g. sparse checkouts, when you’re working with such large repos.
It's just a different & in my experience often neglected point in a similar design space (as that initial, linked text argues). Your tastes & use cases are your own. Almost everything "all depends" upon so very much in computer systems & in life.

To add some more color, Nim is also a very adaptable prog.lang. I believe there are converts from Perl in its fan base. Nim's creator long ago recreated some Perl in Nim: https://nim-lang.org/araq/perlish.html

Some people have fantasies about these heatwaves that just decimate all living things. It’s not that simple.

It’s not THAT hard to cool down even if you’re incapable of sweating to do so. People aren’t idiots either. Despite imaginations of cultural hubris, people can tell when it’s deathly, disgustingly hot, and do not casually tank it until they die. And even if they did, they’re not idiots. If one person collapses, they’re not going to ignore them and continue to assume the heat is negligible. You don’t have to realize the nuances of your circumstances and the probability of death to understand that you are intolerably uncomfortable.

Yes of course heat waves are bad and can kill people. But wet bulb events are not a magic threshold that completely change the game.
There is no single “deworming” medicine, and the treatments to cover actual infections of some of those come with significant side effects and risks. Even treating an (unlikely) real acute infection can cause a cascade of inflammatory responses that can kill a person if not monitored by medical professionals.

The idea of deworming in healthy individuals in developed countries is the domain of alternative medicine, where people tend to use questionable supplements or under dosed pharmaceuticals for peace of mind.

However, even antibiotics aren’t as safe as some of these people think. One of my acquaintances died following complications of antibiotics that he purchased over the internet and self-administered. It was a rare outcome of using the antibiotic, but statistically it was several orders of magnitude more likely to cause problems than the condition he thought he was self-treating.
