Many people here probably already know this, but there are many types of insulin formulations with varying half lives. It seems that CalRx will be producing several popular ones including a Lantus-like insulin:

I can't take books that try to reduce complex nuanced human behavior into an oversimplified equation seriously. They always feel like BS to me. I'm sure there are a few useful ideas in there, but the fact that the author is oversimplifying things to appeal to an as-large-as-possible audience makes me question all information presented in the book. If it's BS in one aspect, it's quite likely to be BS in other aspects as well.
Newsom's running for President. Biden's continuing to deteriorate before our eyes, but no one with any power is willing to say so in public. So Newsom is positioning himself for the big event.

What will be interesting is if another Democrat starts running/not-running. Then you'll know it's on.
It's undefined behavior if the assert triggers in production. It's too greedy for minor performance benefit at the risk of causing strange issues.

>It is a very similar project to Opera Mini. It is using a virtual Chrome browser on our backend that basically is remote-controlled by AmiFox sending back images of the webpage and processing mouse clicks and keystrokes.

Thus is is leveraging another computer to do the grunt of the work. Of course, this doesn't detract its usefulness, but to the contrary.

Open source browsers that run natively do exist, such as a port of netsurf.
What eldritch magic is this…

Steelmanning in public may as well be mansplaining. But steelmanning inside your own head is a noble exercise.
Good luck telling Americans they should exercise more and eat less/healthier as a solution.
I would go for `MethodHandle`s and lambda metafactory over bytecode where possible. Much easier to avoid and debug bugs in the generation (better errors than those provided by Hotspot's verifier), and avoids needing to worry about constant dynamic at all. Of course, once you need to implement more than one method, you can no longer just use lambda metafactory.

A while back I actually implemented some utilities for generating classes at runtime and "linking" constants into them using constant dynamic. One day I might clean it up and release it as a library.
Isn't this the same depth as normal? Just instead of a bitstream for an FPGA that defines how it functions there is microcode for the CPU which defines how it functions.
This, and it will only get more realistic. For instance, when people generate artifacts of their fantasies in virtual reality using ai.

minidisc.org..... tstation forums...wow, it was definitely a time. Nestled nicely in the period where mp3/digital and CDs overlapped and the rise of piracy etc.... mixes and albums (and in certain scenes, live recordings) on minidiscs galore. Then no more CDs basically and straight digital files to digital players.
I think steelmanning is good, depending on how much time you have for the debate. Obviously if you're going to be working on something for days with this person they should understand your position in detail and vice versa, but if you only have a couple hours or less for a debate it saves time without devolving into a point scoring war.

This is interesting! They're locked out of the tools for committing code, but have production access? (SSH?)

But if they are trying to demonstrate their necessity and want to form a union, not doing those critical tasks may be a better idea? If the company is not showing interest in supporting you, don't support the company?

> Because cars give people more convenient and independent transportation then just about any other mode.

In the US, this is true.

In most European cities, you can just walk instead, or take the metro or a tram.

It's really convenient to just walk to where you want to go, and when the grocery store is a 10 minute walk away, you don't need to fill a car with groceries. Just go more often.

Need to go further? Clean and safe public transportation is often more convenient than having to drive yourself.

I really like being able to read a book on my way to work rather than paying attention to the road and making sure i don't kill myself or someone else.
Because somehow medicine shortage don't exist yet because fortunately there's no price cap…

Also, there's no practical difference between an actual shortage and a price rising so high that many people can't afford it, like it's already the case with insulin[1].

(self-reply) One more thing.

> I could use _Bool, but I’d rather stick to a natural word size and stay away from its weird semantics.

This is even more subjective, but personally I like _Bool's semantics. They mean that if an expression works in an `if` statement:

if (flags & FLAG_ALLOCATED)

then you can extract that same expression into a boolean variable:

_Bool need_free = flags & FLAG_ALLOCATED;

The issue is that `flags & FLAG_ALLOCATED` doesn't equal '0 if unset, 1 if set', but '0 if unset, some arbitrary nonzero value if set'. (Specifically it equals FLAG_ALLOCATED if set, which might be 1 by coincidence, but usually isn't.) This kind of punning is fine in an `if` statement, since any nonzero value will make the check pass. And it's fine as written with `_Bool`, since any nonzero integer will be converted to 1 when the expression is implicitly converted to `_Bool`. But if you replace `_Bool` with `int`, then this neither-0-nor-1 value will just stick around in the variable. Which can cause strange consequences. It means that

if (need_free)

will pass, but

if (need_free == true)

will fail. And if you have another pseudo-bool, then

if (need_free == some_other_bool)

might fail even if both variables are considered 'true' (i.e. nonzero), if they happen to have different values.

_Bool solves this problem. Admittedly, the implicitness has downsides. If you're refactoring the code and you decide you don't really need a separate variable, you might try to replace all uses of `need_free` with its definition, not realizing that the implicit conversion to _Bool was doing useful work. So you might end up with incorrect code like:

if ((flags & FLAG_ALLOCATED) == true)

Also, if you are reading a struct from disk or otherwise stuffing it with arbitrary bytes, and the struct has a _Bool, then you risk undefined behavior if the corresponding byte becomes something other than 0 or 1 – because the compiler assumes that the implicit conversion to 0 or 1 has been done already.

So many great companies die this way. Bought by a big corporation with no idea what to do with all their money, neglected, then sold to some monopolist that doesn't give a damn outside of squeezing the market.
Some might think that this is a bad thing, but in the bigger picture this demonstration of common-sense governing could endear Newsom to voters on the national stage should he run for president — a position he could use to veto insulin price caps for all Americans.
Sorry am I missing something here. If the cheap insulin across the border got the full brunt of American demand, it would obviously not remain abundant for that country. Even if this country (canada?) had price controls in place that would be no use to factories with a set supply.

Seems like the right solution is to increase supply right here.
> Instead of multiple batches of promises, we fetch the user, items, and details in one shot. This brings up the meta-question about why use GraphQL in the first place, but that’s a larger conversation for a separate time.

At my current job we have a TON of methods like the one just above this paragraph, and they're terrible to work with. It's hard to write (correctly), it's hard to test (correctly), and it is simply tedious to make work. I could write four lines of declarative GQL (that fetches exactly what I ask for from the DB) or a real mess of a method.

In practice, it's rarely the case that you're returning 10k of anything. To look at the author's benchmark, the difference between 20ms and 60ms for a far nicer and more maintainable dev experience (for 1000 returned items) is not a compelling argument.

Hell, if I look at our stack, the biggest cost is creating parameterized queries with many hundreds of IDs to select to prevent N+1 queries. I've spent countless hours optimizing the slowest code (that uses the pattern the author suggests) to use JOINs instead. Removing the round trip and the cost of shipping the list of IDs back to the DB consumed far more time than you might expect.

If you want to go down an even deeper rabbit hole, look at the cost of serializing your data to JSON and deserializing it on the client. When you're shipping tens of thousands of records to the client, that's likely hundreds of kilobytes or even megabytes of data. Serializing that is expensive!

How did insulin become so expensive? It seems relatively straightforward to produce and the inputs are cheap
It sounds potentially useful, but there's pretty much zero friction if you want to do this with Llama or ChatGPT today. I doubt there will be enough demand that people eventually keep bespoke "recovery models" on-disk. If it does become a desired feature, I think maintainers would prefer a deterministic GUI for recovery instead of a language model.

If you’re telling someone who you are, and they say “No, you’re not that” - well, that’s generally an even worse thing.

Not OP, but I went through the Artist's Way a while back and kept morning pages up for two or so years after it. I'd still probably do morning pages every day if I didn't move on to sitting at my piano in place of them (and would do both if I had time in the morning). So in that regard I think it was a success -- it got me back to having a healthy relationship with music making and artistic practice.

The content of the workbook at places doesn't totally resonate with me, but I'd say there's enough in there that it's worth trying out. It definitely asks you to confront and reflect on a lot of things that have happened in your life, so it can be uncomfortable and bring up a lot. But that's of course an important part of art making.

I'd say just try it out, it's only 12 weeks and you can always bail if it doesn't work for you!
I have used the term demo driven development before but in a different context.

It is when clients can’t articulate the business requirements without seeing and using the software. New and different requirements arise after using the software or seeing a demo.

> > I’ll cast away the const if needed.

To be clear, it's only UB if the object was defined const, which is the case given he wrote:

> One small exception: I still like it as a hint to place static tables in read-only memory closer to the code. I’ll cast away the const if needed.

So you are correct on this point. Funnily enough, such objects are relatively rare IME, so I had to double-check to see that he was advocating it specifically in the rare case where it must not be applied.
> Undefined behavior[2]

Given that this particular undefined behavior usually causes crashes in practice, I expect the author is talking about casting away the const but not actually writing to the pointer. Which is legal.

It's not unfairly maligned, it's just that everyone remembers their college/university 'learning experience' which made no distinction between C/C++, they were told to use the Borland compiler, and when trying to learn printing "hello world" they only got a `segmentation fault` error instead of a stack trace. When they asked why it's so hard, they were told C/C++ is hard - so they dropped the class.

Then they picked up a JS or Python class, were told high-level languages are easy and viola! they started to understand programming.

That's the reason people are spiteful of it. They had a terrible learning experience right out the gate.

Interesting... if every user has their own database, then there are separate backups for each. Connection pooling isn't possible (although I guess one never uses connection pooling with D1 anyway?) Schema changes need to be separately handled across each database.

Correct. Imagine if you bought and hold in Japan in the 1980's. Buy 2023, maybe you would have broken even [1]

There are 2 problems:
1. Market timing works:
a. With inside information e.g. US congress
b. Take an outsised risk e.g. Nasem Taleb keep buying/selling deep out of the money options. Lose money every day to make an outsised gain
2. You are Warren Buffet. Which is basically buy stocks like you are buying a company. Have the option of buying preferential shares. And hey 1b monkeys on typewriters...

Still totally agree with the OP. The last 40 years have been ridiculous from a macro perspective:
1. Interest rates, the most important price in the economy, the price of money, has fallen from 18% in the Paul Volker days till after covid close to 0.
2. Money has been printed like never before after the 08 collapse and covid.

It is very difficult to look at 2023, with the US fed cash rate at approx 5%, global interest rates going up, price inflation at 7%+, US national debt at $33T and growing at $1T per month exponentially, and the US paying more on Interest expense (not principal, just Interest) than they spend on the military.

I like Nassem Taleb. Invest still in index funds but invest in global infrastructure that is recession proof e..g [3]. Be anti-fragile

I did have to go down a little rabbit hole to understand the semantics of that builtin (I don’t normally write C if that wasn’t immediately obvious from the question) but that seems like a really questionable interpretation of “this should never happen”.
