> This is the kind of broad brush statement that makes people face-palm. A "voltage gated" anything is necessarily affected by electromagnetic fields, because that's what those words mean…

It’s not a broadbrush statement, it’s a very specific statement. It’s a statement that this is how EMFs can affect our neurology and our biology. I don’t understand you’re complained about this at all.

> Specifically, your brain cells do things at about 100-1000 Hz, whereas most of the new RF noise is about 6 orders of magnitude higher frequency.

Why are you assuming there has to be some residence between the EMFs and the speed of the fire neurons for the voltage gated ion channels to be triggered or disrupted? This makes no sense.

There’s plenty of signal, you just don’t have the antennas to receive it.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6513191/

There is considerable evidence that exposure to RF-EMF could cause various types of genotoxic effects in cells (Lai and Singh, 2004; Lee et al., 2005; Phillips et al., 2009; Ruediger, 2009; Xu et al., 2010). Exposure to RF-EMFs (1,800 MHz, SAR 2 W/kg) caused DNA oxidative damage in the mitochondria, DNA fragmentation and DNA strand breaks in neurons (Xu et al., 2010). This have been reported in lymphocytes exposed to various ranges of RF-EMFs (Phillips et al., 2009). In addition, RF-EMF exposure has been reported to cause chromosomal instability, alteration of gene expression and gene mutations. Such genetic toxic effects have been reported in, but are not limited to, neurons, blood lymphocytes, sperm, red blood cells, epithelial cells, hematopoietic tissue, lung cells and bone marrow (Magras and Xenos, 1997; Mashevich et al., 2003; Demsia et al., 2004; Zhao et al., 2007; Baan et al., 2011). It has also been found that exposure to electromagnetic radiation, a type of RF-EMF, increases the incidence of chromosomal aneuploidy (Mashevich et al., 2003). Genetic toxic effects, including aneuploidy, can lead to genetic disorders with abnormal gene formation, and can even lead to cancer (Hoeijmakers, 2009).

Surely the "missing" money was never there in the first place?

If a Post Office had £20,000 in takings on a day, but the buggy system reported takings of £30,000, then that's £10,000 of money reported missing, which the postmasters were prosecuted for stealing.

But that £10,000 didn't "go" anywhere. It never existed.

> In Unix, character special files are files that access to I/O devices such as a NULL file (/dev/null) and file descriptors. In our case, stdout is a file descriptor (1) so it is a character special file. (The name "character special" actually comes from the fact that each character is handled individually.)

Ummm no. This is completely backwards. Stdout isn’t character special if it is pointing to a disk file. And they are hung up on a Linuxism here to boot (the proc symlink). The whole world isn’t Linux and I have never heard of this definition of character special, so I wonder where they found it. Of note, FreeBSD realized the whole block/character distinction was dumb, even block device modes are “character special”.

Author is very confused about the ontology of file descriptors and files, and device nodes. Sure it’s confusing to a newcomer but there are plenty of well written guides on the topic.

Too verbose, too Linux centric and too inaccurate.

If you get up to mass-scale production quantities, $100 might be feasible. I imagine small-scale production with little up-front capital and no guaranteed market might be lot more challenging. It's not software, you're going to need large orders to get good prices.

I think the point of "no single data model" is that you will have different call patterns for different parts of your data.

More, your aggregated data is also data. Do not think that you can just do the "bare truth" data model and run aggregate queries on demand whenever you want. Instead, consider having aggregate queries run off of what can be seen as a realized view over base data. And schedule this view so that it only has to rollup new data every $period of time. No need to recalculate aggregates that you knew yesterday.
>I think command line utilities are in a worse financial position than GUI utilities, because people are accustomed to paying for GUI apps, but aren’t accustomed to paying for things in the shell at all.

> but for devs passionate about programming languages, python is a relic they hope vanish

Such devs are increasingly rare and, in some domains, almost nonexistent. For example, Kotlin borrowed a lot of nice features from Scala and Groovy, yet 99% of Kotlin code I've seen professionally never touched those features. Kotlin on Android seems to be overwhelmingly written by barely (or not at all) re-trained Java devs; moreover, those who never learned anything more recent than 1.8 (at least they know what lambdas are.)

In short, it's not about the language; it's about the people who use that language. Wishing a language to vanish is misguided - it wouldn't change anything. The people would just switch to the next language and would still program in the same style. You can write Fortran in every language - this is as true today as it was back in the 70s, but the percentage of people who can't be bothered to stop writing Fortran (metaphorically, in more literal meaning their first language, whatever it was) even after changing to another language got much higher. IMO due to the changes in how programming as a trade is perceived in society... but that's perhaps a rant for another time :)

You might not need gradual typing in Elixir
has it though?

I'm not sure which of the many consensus protocols you may have in mind, but proof of stake is the most popular alternative.

A 51% attack for PoW requires that someone can afford to power 51% of the network. That's expensive. Once the attack is detected, the community can fork away from the moment of the attack.

A 51% attack for PoS requires that someone owns 51% of the tokens. At that point, the attack costs nothing. If the attack is detected and the community forks, the attacker still has enough tokens to attack again on the new network - at no cost.

All of this stuff is brand new. Saying that any of it is "proven" is pretty bold.

It never led to any financial collapse though. It just prevented ballooning the money supply that could be used as a temporary work around. "If only we could printed more money we would have been fine!". So the gold standard wasn't the cause of the issue at hand, it just prevented _some_ type of a fix. The deflationary nature of the gold standard is something working long-term only, it can't flair up all of sudden. Unlike inflation. Besides I have an issue with this mantra that "small inflation is good for the economy" but somehow _small_ deflation being the end of the world.

Yes, DNA has rough equivalents to condition logic and loops, although not in a way that is as engineerable as a digital computer with a stack. The op-amp (which is a transistor that uses feedback, typically to amplify) is the one element that has a close analogy (hah) in biology (feedback systems based on transcription-controlling regulatory proteins).

The other really cool example taht came up early in my education is the yeast mating switch. Yeast (s. cerevisiae) can be one of two "genders" and can only mate with the opposite gender. Yeast can change their gender: they keep two copies (alternates) of a single gene, and "cut/paste" one of the alternates into a different "currently active gender" location (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_conversion is the general process, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_of_yeast#Mechanics_of_t... is the mechanical process in yeast). It has some similarity to a flip flop.

So I think the right level to think at is not the abstraction of computer programming languages, but circuit elements. Which is what makes these brilliant articles so much fun: https://www.cell.com/cancer-cell/pdf/S1535-6108(02)00133-2.p... and https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/jo...

To cut to the chase, engineering biology is a major pain due to the long evolutionary history of biological mechanisms, which makes them somewhat esoteric and abstruse. there is so much that can be said, but over tme, I've found that expounding on this is not very helpful.

I was of the roughly same opinion, especially after getting familiar with relational theory. Despite all the horrors of SQL-the-language, the backing model is close to being universal for data storage and manipulation.

Having said that, we did encounter one good use case recently: storing tree-like documents complete with history changes. Mongo-like DBs are really good for this. While possible in relational DBs, this is superinconvenient.

Notably, this has nothing to do with performance.

Real Time Wave Tracing
As far as I knew, the plan for Cal/Stanford was to have all their non money making sports games (outside of their rivalry) at Southern Methodist in Texas. So the football and basketball games were to be played 'normally', but lacrosse and soccer, for example, were to be at SMU. I'd also heard that a lot of the 'lesser' sports were just going to be keeping on with the PAC12 league anyways, things like water polo which the ACC pretty much doesn't play.

That said, with FSU really trying to get out of the ACC, who knows.

But you do bring up a good point on the travel times. Most of the 'lesser' sports' players are at the universities for the academics. Especially Stanford due to their admissions model. Take a player in a sport that is an Olympic sport, who now has access to some funds from the NIL. Say swimming or something. They get a lot of cash from Speedo for the NIL as they are likely to win some medals. Now they can hire a real law firm to argue for them against the army of lawyers from the school and they now have a real shot at winning. The title-9 violations from these long distance travel arrangements may not be de jure but a good lawyer can argue that they are de facto violations. And now those schools are paying big money out. And now they can't just cancel all sports other than the money makers because these athletes now have access to real money and real lawyers.

What a mess!
