It's an interesting topic, but it seems that presenting an opposing viewpoint is generally downvoted on Hackernews (and likely other social media), so I'm not sure it's worth spending the time.

My position is pragmatic, from a managerial economics perspective, of maximizing value and reducing risk. I suspect that Elixir attracts a fair amount of language enthusiasts, who are somewhat biased when they evaluated the business value of a language choice.

WhatsApp/Discord is a very specific use case, of needing a high number of concurrent users that expect real-time messages when to the same session (e.g. chat/chatroom, "Bob is typing...").
AFAIK, BEAM excels at immutability (lots of reads, like readers in a chatroom) and concurrency (vertical scalability).
So those are not appropriate reference use cases for the typical user.

BEAM is notoriously slow, and has been bottom-ranking in Techempower benchmarks.
Although that seems to have improved in recent years.

I think the problem is that most "big data" problems aren't really that big, or the latency requirements aren't that stringent. So people are OK with much slower solutions they can throw midlevel python devs & parallelize AWS compute at. With true time series problems you do get many "big data" problems that you can't actually parallelize (think sequential event based operations where the previous results are needed for deciding what to do with the next event).

With data frames you get some of the "close to the data" interactivity you get with a APL/J/K/Q stack. Of course, K is ~100x faster than Polars which is what.. ~10x faster than Pandas. Meanwhile most people are still using Pandas in a Jupyter notebook despite Polars being right there.

You'd think as people look at their AWS bills they'd be considering solutions that use 1/10th, 1/100th and even 1/1000th the compute time.. and yet.
I said "non-gaming applications." I can see the immediate and obvious application to gaming, even though I'm not a gamer myself. But the hardcore gamers that would use such a device are still a niche market. If Apple's making it, they're expect mass consumer applications though. I just don't see that.

Being able to "summit" a mountain without actually being there is an interesting use case though. Thanks for that.

We wont even fully certify iPhones for use with this solution because we have seen consistent failure to autofocus on the barcode for "some weird reason". iPads work like magic though. I have to go out of my way to not get a quick scan on recent generation iPad camera.

We went down the hardware scanning path w/ keyboard emulation in the browser, but its kind of clunky when you are considering the overall solution stack in a B2B setting.
... Which shows that its capable of regurgitating copyrighted material. What does it matter what the method is? People can deliberately use the thing for copyright infringement.

The vast majority of (radio) SETI relies on primarily searching for intentional, powerful, repeating, beacons/signals. We have scores of unexplained, suspicious looking signals that we just discard because the signals never repeated and so we'll never know what they were and can't ever make any conclusion about them. The only really unambiguous signal we can detect is a powerful repeating beacon, and so that's all we really look for. Also, any "random" non-beacon leakage another civilization might internally produce is expected to be too low-powered for us to pick up hundreds or thousands of light-years away. Nobody in their right mind would design their internal communications to be so insanely inefficient that they'd be blasting it strongly, unambiguously, potentially omnidirectionally, for us hundreds/thousands of light years away to detect. What an insane waste of energy that would be.
"Hedge funds" encompasses an enormous variety of investment strategies. There are certainly some that create uncorrelated alpha. There are others that are basically large cap index funds. And still others that are trading on signals which contain no actual edge at all.
I know China-bashing is popular on this website, but a quite search of market data reveals that China isn't even in the top 10 of tuna producers NOR consumers.

Basic economics would suggest that a country with low nominal GDP/capita would not be the final destination for a global commodity (with relatively high production cost) like deep sea fish. Given that your production site is in the Pacific Ocean, why would you sell in Shanghai when you can sell in San Francisco where the average person spends ~10x or more USD on food?

TFA even says the West Pacific (i.e. China, Japan, Korea) is the region suffering the least, due to local conservation measures.

Thoughts? It looks to me to be structural adhesion failure. That position has been claimed to be exit row door blowout/not an exit row - but we have seen pics, I hope they identify the source of the rivets.

Pretty sure it was a material weakness failure.

> No such theory exists for programming. The complex application you designed has no theory behind it at all.

The theory isn't a theory of programming or software engineering, but of the problem domain. From the paper:

> In term's of Ryle's notion of theory, what has to be built by the programmer is a theory of how certain affairs of the world will be handled by, or supported by, a computer program.

I've worked on plenty of commercial software with a theory of how some particular domain ought to be handled. A business process is almost always the starting point for the theory.

Similarly, software like Make (targets + recipes), Xorg (client-server model) or TiddlyWiki (reusable content + transclusion) have specific theories about how their respective tasks ought to be thought of.
If you're open to sharing some of the niche, but non billion-dollar ideas, I'd love to hear them.

>Also, just food for thought: If one unit of gas has one 1kWh energy, a heat pump can make 3-4kWh out of it (You are following right?).

The decision is a little more complicated than that. If your electricity comes from natural gas, then you have to account for inefficiency in production of electricity and losses during transmission.

On the other hand, furnaces are not 100% efficient either, the cheap ones are 80% and the 95% efficient ones are more expensive, which narrows the gap.

Modern heat pumps can easily maintain a high enough COP to match or beat a furnace, and if you live in an area that needs both heat and A/C at different parts of the year, a more efficient unit benefits you year-round as opposed to spending more on a furnace. And if your electricity isn't coming from fossil fuels... then it's a moot point to begin with. You can't run a furnace on wind.

This is the second time I’ve read this Mr. interpretation of sunlight being polarized on hacker news.

Sunlight is not polarized. When you use a polarizing filter, you are polarizing the light. That’s why they call them polarizing filters.

Sunlight, reflecting off of a lake is partially polarized which is what creates the intensity.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3049010/#:~:tex....

Light arriving on Earth from natural sources, either directly from the Sun or reflected from the Moon, is unpolarized or, at most, weakly polarized.

There is some amount of polarization once it strikes the Earth, but all EMF radiation from telecommunications is polarized, like a laserbeam.

https://www.edmundoptics.com/c/laser-polarization/760/

Since you don’t know enough about the polarization of light, it’s not fair to me to comment on your ignorance about man-made electromagnetic fields in the rest of what you said.

And please post something deeper than a Wikipedia article, or actually just look up anything that is opposite of your current bias.

> Deflect, much? I can call out a group of cartoonishly villainous terrorists without having to condone any other behavior.

I am not deflecting, my point has been consistent across the whole thread. All of the power players in the region are bad people. However, you have to come to the table with them as they are. It's hubris to just think because the Houthis are bad guys then we don't have to take them seriously. Obviously the best way to stop these attacks is to force Israel to ceasefire (it's also the moral option), but many people wouldn't want to capitulate to pressure from "terrorists".

> The attacks coincide in time, yes. But many opportunistic things coincide. That is part of the very definition of opportunistic attacks, no? You can believe their stated reasons, but then how can you not also believe their stated global intentions?

I don't buy their PR hook line and sinker. But the reasonable thing to do here is open a line of communication and negotiate with them. Call for a ceasefire, get ships passing back through the Red Sea, and figure out how to solve this all somewhat peacefully.

> I get that you don't like Israel. I don't know why I would necessarily want to change your mind there, all told. I can say you should not let that drive you to such allies as terrorists that attack trade ships.

My point throughout this whole thread has not been to say Israel is uniquely evil or the Houthis are good, but that people in the west have been conditioned to look at this conflict without any nuance, which is antithetical to good policy, or even just understanding the situation.

I mean for christ sake we still have sanctions on Cuba 60 years later. So many US foreign policy moves are motivated by ideology or some moral judgement, rather than actual strategy or humanitarian ideals.

I really have tried to use fairly neutral language for all of my posts in this thread, I don't know why people have interpreted this as me defending the Houthis. I take it as an example of the fact that actually being truly neutral in an analysis is viewed as having non-neutral stance, because the default assumption in western nations is that the US hegemony is good and everyone loves it 24/7.
Too much anti-X (anti-Musk) trolling on Threads. Threads users really need to focus on building something good themselves, rather than simply attacking the incumbent.

Pointless rage-bait Threads content regularly comes up on Instagram and I find it a turn-off for the new social network.

> It would be nice if you could style it in different ways

I think a big part of the problem here boils down to much of the thinking behind specs being accessibility=screen-readers, rather than considering accessibility in terms of UX for a broader range of visitors (most using just a normal browser).

In this case, the fact that things like pseudo-elements explicitly don't work on replaced elements, even elements that have nested content such as <meter> and <picture>, is a really weird oversight in my mind. It seems to be justified by an overly prescriptive view of how DOM object models should be visualised, rather than a prescriptive view of how web content should be most helpfully rendered.

TL;DR The problem in this article could easily be solved by a simple meter::before { content: attr(value); } except that the spec. explicitly forbids that, so it does nothing.

Safety is not a binary, safe/dangerous. How much risk we are willing to accept and what the trade-offs are isn't something that has a correct answer. it's a values question.

My comment was assuming that society's apparent risk calculation was evident in how we treat everything other than nuclear. If your argument is that our safety regime on nuclear is correct and everything else is too dangerous and needs to be made safer, well I personally disagree but at least it's consistent and I have no problem with your opinion. It's a difference in values.

The real problem I have is people who think that nuclear is a special flower and needs to be held to different standards than everything else. Which is how society is currently acting. And it's killing millions of people every year.

Actually we could. Maybe we won't do such studies because they are irrelevant because avoiding spitting into the surgical opening is a reason good enough. But then we cannot claim that masks during the surgery prevent the spread of airborne viral diseases.

But if we needed to guard for them and the good evidence is lacking, then not testing would be unethical.

Yes, even covid vaccine today could be compared with placebo, for example, in children. Europe never mandated covid vaccine for children and today in the UK they cannot even get the vaccine unless in a risk group. The US however recommends covid vaccine for children without the evidence that it makes any difference today. It definitely should be tested in trials before such recommendations.

I don't think that IRB would reject such studies. At the start of pandemic everybody was saying that doing human challenge trials by infecting healthy volunteers would be unethical. And yet the UK did them. The red tape takes time and I can understand that during pandemics we may need to act quickly and cannot test everything. But in principle we can and do need to all kinds of trials to obtain proper evidence.
