Let us assume half of studies do not replicate. this does not tell us about the implications of those that do. I think there is the tendency to throw the baby out with the bath water here. STEM, especially computer science, has its own bullshit papers problem too. Arxiv is full of 7-page computer science papers with 7 -co authors about things that feel like pure resume padding and very light on any sort of actual science or rigour. stuff like "hate speech and the algorithms on twitter" Same for math papers in which common formulas are rederived. The problem is the incentives are aligned to favor quantity over quality, and this is in all fields . a huge resume/cv full of items looks more impressive.

I had the fortune of working in a ruby heavy company after learning Python. I thought ruby had too many exception to rules compared to Python, python was more elegant. Every other win I think is a derivative of being a better language which in turn came from being a better community.

I'm not entirely sure about this but I believe that HE may have been null routing rather than just dropping routes.
My interpretation is actually the opposite.

I believe that 1Password has grown significantly in the professional space, and that Okta likely sees this trend as a competitive threat.

If there's anything that Apple's upending of Blackberry taught us, it's that all you need is a one key decision maker in an entire organization to say "wait, why can't I use {product x}?" for that organization to slowly move away from the entrenched enterprise solution. The fact that Okta is joining the consumer space validates 1Password's decision to creep into the enterprise market.
No better than that, they'll announce mainstream availability of Apple Pay Later
Oh, I would love if they charge a lot for this and subsidize the price of my ticket in economy. I wear noise cancellation headphones on flights anyway.

The last flight I was on I saw two infants in first class not having a good day. I can imagine those who paid for first class were not happy. I thought about asking the flight attendant if anyone wanted to trade for my economy seat but decided against it. I didn’t want to annoy the flight attendant mostly.
Fediverse is a general-purpose platform.

My point is, they're (you're?) drawing an arbitrary line and counting a precise number. So far Rama has only been used for this one purpose, this is the kickoff marketing example, calling the system "general purpose" is a giant stretch.

They absolutely did. When only white, male, decently educated property owners could vote, they had decent reassurance that a constitutional republic with state-specific voter management could work.

I really miss the HyperTransport age, when this kind of coherency interconnect stuff was an open public consideration, where AMD was trying to make it a open thing. They wanted people building accelerators and peripherals and chipsets around it, rising the tide of their systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperTransport

Infinity Fabric is supposedly a HyperTransport derived standard but all internal. No desire to get anyone else participating & increasing the ecosystem.

Infinity Fabric is far far faster than & shirter-distance an interconnect than the alternatives, but notably AMD has been a pariticpant in a variety of the newer standards interconnect efforts. I forget which, but, like, CCIX, Gen-Z, OpenCAPI, and CXL. Which at least shows some interest in new open fabrics, if not exactly the native fabric.

You couldn't get Hollywood-quality out of an Android phone and a boom microphone.

You can shoot video that looks as good or better than 35mm film from the 90s on a video camera that is in the low hundreds of dollars, if that. People can go out and make movies, but that doesn't mean they are making things people want to watch.

I think you are underestimating how detailed and exact film making really is for "hollywood" quality. You need extreme directability at every stage of the pipeline.

People being able to use a system that creates something decent but makes you accept whatever you get has existed for a long time through animations with game engine characters.
>And how are countries like Germany still doing kinda okay

Only for certain definitions of okay
If you want a language easy to deal with for humans, you want LL(1) or possibly LL(k) for some reasonable k.

LR(1) isn't easy to deal with: LR(1) shift-reduce parsing allows an arbitrary number of tokens to be stuffed into the parser stack before making a single reduction.

If you want easy to parse, make sure that a left-to-right scan can make a parsing decision by looking at a small number of tokens (often one). A permanent parsing decision: parse it this way or that way, no backtracking to try something else.

> I concede that I could be wrong on the point's of ML/Haskell families, however, it relies on the practitioner correctly using the type system to the extreme (at least, that is my impression).

I wouldn't say it's "extreme", it's very normal and natural. You just stick everything in the types and it works.

> C++ and other similar OO's, the type system isn't as compelling as a correctness measure.

Agreed that C++-style types are awful. You can generally encode whatever you need if you work hard enough at it - e.g. https://spin.atomicobject.com/2014/12/09/typed-language-tdd-... - but it's painful.

> In which domain are you working in where this has been the case? It may be my experience, but types as I have seen them used in industry have been more as "data containers with some behaviors".

> I'd appreciate some examples of where you think I may be getting types wrong or missing the point.

I've worked in "regular industry" and found types to be very effective. Let me turn it around: what kind of logic errors are you seeing that you think wouldn't be eliminated by using types? Types can't help you avoid errors in the specification itself, and there are a few domains where they may not yet be practical (mainly math-heavy things like linear algebra, where there's centuries' worth of mathematics that's applicable except where it isn't, and we just don't capture all of that in practical type systems yet), but the vast majority of the time you can construct your types in ways that force your logic to be correct because you just don't offer the ability to do the wrong thing.
C++ and Python are not competitors. Sure both are Turing complete so you can implement anything in either. However if you should is a different question. Python is very difficult to maintain when you program goes over 100k lines of code, while the static type system of c++ is good for millions. C++ compiles to fast binary code, while Python is typically 60x slower for logic (though often Python calls a fast algorithm implemented in a compiled language for anything significant so this is hard to measure in typical programs). However if your programs are not very large and you don't need every last bit of speed Python is going to be easier to work with. (And frankly if not working with a legacy c++ codebase you should look at rust, ada, go, or something else i'm not aware of, c++ has many ugly warts that you shouldn't need to worry about)
I think The Zen was really important for Python's success as well. Having your core values right there, well defined and out in front, wasn't something you get with a lot of languages. Any language thats been around for a long time gets sorta.. muddled.

I'm talking about appliances that benefit specifically from three phase because of the benefits of induction motor driving. Water heaters, ovens, EV chargers, and many other things specifically do not benefit from this. The only thing you get is power density by effective 400V output from 3-phase 240V.

Obviously 100V would be terrible for high power stuff. I'm not suggesting that. But, 240V split-phase is more than sufficient for the vast majority of residential appliances, including EV charging.

> The Okta you know and love for work...

I don't think I love anything from work, much the same way most McDonalds fry cooks probably aren't particularly smitten with the spatula at their restaurant's grill. But of all the things I regularly interact with at work, Okta is probably the thing I love the least since it signs me out 8+ times a day and bounces me through an unholy amount of redirections every time I click on a "chiclet" all in the name of "security".

If I was still having to track my time, I would genuinely have to log a ticket each day for dealing with Okta with the amount of time it sucks up.
Dumb question: I know the built-in typing (import typing) is limited in some ways, but it works pretty fine to cover most basic needs. So what does mypy add? I'm super interested in adding typing to some code we have but I'm just a bit confused by the choices available.

Would mypy with pydantic be a good combination or do they overlap?
> It's still one of the most popular languages for web development.

But is it? Stats on major job boards such as Indeed show a steep decline in recent years. There are consistently twice as many Django/Flask roles listed compared with Rails. Node is the most popular but Spring, ASP.Net and PHP occupy the next level below Node.

For cooling: the non-coated case material and particularly having the air flowing inside the display joint ( I think like Mac books) makes a difference IMHO.
There is a new internet payments technology that is 100% effective against abuses like this, even when the state decides it shouldn't be possible.

Censorship-resistant payments are an essential prerequisite to a free society, something I have been asserting in public for a dozen+ years.

Unfortunately as of late they have been vilified. If I were a paranoid man, I might point out that this happened right around the time they became known to the mainstream.
> no matter how much people wanted it to become their pet transformation of society.

they are allowed to use this pandemic as a trigger for transformation. Some of the transformation, such as WFH being an accepted trait, is a good one.

Just like how the black plague transformed society in the past, the pandemic is doing so too - just with more deliberate focus.

My wife is a tetrachromat. She sees way more greens than I do. When we’re on a hike, she always gushes over all the “shimmery” greens and different shades of grasses and flowers. All I see is green.

We were at an art museum once and there was a painting that was just a bunch of rectangles of different colors. She thought it was the most beautiful thing ever. So I got her a small print of it and she was disappointed. I’m sure the print was a CMYK printing of an RGB picture, so it got down sampled back to three channels. It looked the same to me as the original.

God help us when we go pick out paint for a room in the house or try to color match a fabric. She has word visceral reactions to colors that just doesn’t make any sense to me.
It's not necessarily a bad deal because the benefit of being able to do the sabbatical while young has its own benefit. You can see more places and enjoy different types of experiences. And there is no guarantee you will live that long or be physically able to do the things you may want to do when younger. So it could be worth the trade off.
Once again the EFF is proving that they'll stand behind their principles and defend freedom even for those they disagree with. They are one of the few remaining organizations that I feel I can support without reservation. Taking this difficult position isn't easy, but it is the right thing to do and I'm so glad to see that the EFF has the strength to do it in the face of growing opposition to free speech ideals.
Reminder: NSA, FBI, CIA have all used surveillance assets/capabilities to cyberstalk people. as in US Citizens.

What is appalling is that if such conduct was tacitly allowed (likely only came to light when people became too brazen), of course there are more nefarious abuses related to politics and corruption.
Thanks for linking that graph. I wonder to what extent Ruby’s decline as a percentage is due to its use declining versus other languages growing.
The global functions throw me off too.

To me in general Ruby is the nicer feeling of the two, just generally more "friendly" and "human". Whether those are desirable traits of a language is up for debate but I think there could stand to be more language with such a flavor.
I don't think you deserve to be downvoted, but you're missing the point: we need guiding principles to help us work through tough cases so that we can best avoid setting bad precedent. The EFF made a good move today.
Well all repeated code can evolve independently too, so by that definition, how can non-DRY code exist?

This discussion is a bit too abstract and losing meaning as a result. I think you’re glossing over the very real scenarios of code (“knowledge”) that’s similar but not the exactly the same; of copies of code that are similar being merged; of code that’s exactly the same being intentionally forked and “repeated” and placed nearby; and others. Repeated code definitely can be the same piece of “knowledge” and exist in multiple places without coordination. After that the copies might drift in different directions, and the DRY dogma says this is bad. This is what people mean when they talk about DRY principles, the general idea to look for and merge similar code, and to prevent multiple pieces of similar code from being able to evolve independently.

DRY in fact doesn’t really come up if two pieces of code are exactly the same; then it’s pretty obvious and easy to factor it. It’s a non-issue. The reason this is a concept we talk about is because bits of code are similar but not the same, or they’re they same but people need them to be modifiable without risk.

I don’t know about using the word “knowledge” to represent processes with dependencies that change over time, it doesn’t seem like the best terminology for this discussion. Specifically, the word “knowledge” tends to imply a timeless static quality to the code. In reality all the of issues worth discussing here, all of the problems with DRY, and all of the benefits of DRY, relate to how code changes over time.

Your point about similar but not the same code being different knowledge actually kind-of illustrates exactly why merging similar bits of code is dangerous, precisely why you shouldn’t just apply DRY principles blindly, and why sometimes rejecting the idea of DRY is appropriate in a given situation.

Re: lack of scientific method, education is another psych-related field with the same problem. Try reading a few of the foundational or trendy education articles: the articles that actually affect how teachers are taught to educate kids.

Up until the point you become disruptive to the service, other customers or third parties for ex. DDoS attacks.

Absolute statements like these are silly. Making comparisons with houses is quite silly if you can figuratively "take your house somewhere else", people don't have to just turn the other cheek.

Oh wow, I didn't realize which "hurricane" we were talking about until you said that. Years ago I wrote a script that automatically updated firewall rules to block apparently malicious IP blocks (based upon observable behavior as well as IP reputation), and Hurricane was consistently near the top of the offender list. I recall finding it interesting at the time how the various Hurricane servers showing up in our logs reminded of an actual hurricane.
