This would be a fantastic way to resolve both the gravity problem as well as the nature of quantum uncertainty.

The "random" fluctuations of gravity in Oppenheim's theory could be intuitively explained by the cumulative gravitational effects from all other mass in the universe, which of course is always in constant motion. This isn't explicitly stated anywhere in his work as far as I can tell, but it seems to be implied.
Murder presupposes that violence is wrong — as murder is specifically a term for wrongful, intentional killing.

A better example is “zero tolerance” for violence in schools — which has led to many documented cases of punishing victims defending themselves.

We regularly debate the “zero violence!” crowd about how their beliefs are unethical and damaging.

The same as with drugs.

// Prerequisite to having kids is removing choice and meaning in life.

Unless I am grossly misunderstanding you, this is exactly backwards. Having kids was the most important choice and the most meaningful one I've ever made.

The fact that being highly educated and well-off has made this a somewhat less "obvious" choice is the sad part.

TFA is pretty good. I would shrink it to:

If you're a language/platform like Swift or Rust (see also Erlang or OCaml) you're gonna end up with some kind of userspace task scheduler because OSes don't give you enough control over threads. If you're a systems language you're gonna use stackless coroutines because speed/memory and C interop. In Rust, you use their task scheduler via async/await, but sadly the ergonomics aren't wonderful and there's now weirdo problems like what reactor/engine/whatever they standardize on etc. The interesting and good stuff will be built on top of async/await, probably shouldn't have touted it as the interface.

My hypothesis here is that something like concurrency/parallelism exists on two levels. You've gotta get the underlying implementation right, and you have to expose a mental model and affordances for using it. The problem is that languages that are good at the first thing are usually real bad at the second thing. More broadly I think this is a trilemma--pick any 2 for your language:

- small

- can implement performant concurrency/parallelism

- can express a high-level mental model of concurrency/parallelism

No one should be surprised that Rust will throw "small" overboard here. I think the only question is how many models will they support? Will they do CSP AND actors (they're different!)? Will there be some kind of OpenMP type thing? Will there be new keywords or--shudder--new SYNTAX?

---

I feel like I have to say Go's solution to this is bold and elegant. Giving up straightforward C interop was pretty gutsy, and the affordances for working with its task scheduling system are familiar and intuitive. I want to stress this (because TFA goes way out of its way to be a little shitty w/ Go): this worked absolutely great. Tons of good software is written in Go. It is super effective. It spent its innovation tokens on experience and tooling and that was really successful (i.e. type systems aren't the only way to fight data races). There were exactly zero debates about stuff like await syntax or what engine to use/standardize. In the time it took Rust to ship async/await, probably 7 billion actually useful Go programs were shipped. Just because someone else's values aren't yours doesn't mean they're the wrong values. I think it's cool that people like Boats are being really thoughtful about how to do this and sharing their thoughts and processes out in the open. I just think there's room in this crazy world for at least two points of view, and that we could do with a little less sneering.

It could be burned into the CPU die by blowing fuses, or stored in a tiny bit of on-die flash, or stored encrypted in SPI flash, encrypted with a factory secret key burned into the CPU at manufacture.

But more generally, you don’t need a long term key to prevent sniffing attacks like this; Diffie-Hellman is a thing. Doing an unauthenticated DH would make this attack harder and slower (active MitM probably requires removing the TPM chip from

his very bad state of health (while for example the double which went to Mariupol and to Saudi Arabia was in very good shape). The real one would soon or is already dead ("Schrodinger's Putin" - I subscribe for 90% to the theory that he is already dead as for the few recent months I didn't see the real one). The Russian power elite seems to intend to keep the charade going as long as they can, so "socializing" the doubles even at the highest levels makes for the easier transition into the state when the real one isn't available anymore, yet the country would still be led by "Putin" and would even elect him with 85% vote in the coming March elections.
Most children aged 3+ are entitled to a few days of free childcare/nursery in the UK, but it's unlikely that a montessori school accepts the government scheme. They may do though, if you email them. Childcare for the remaining two days is at least more affordable, and if your job offer was from the university they also offer free childcare, as do many employers (again worth asking if it wasn't mentioned in the job offer).

Not all coastal areas have the same strict building code. Homes not built with concrete exteriors and hurricane tie down anchors have a strong risk of being demolished in strong hurricanes. South Florida revamped their building codes after Hurricane Andrew wiped many of the homes and infrastructure in the 90s. However, not all coastal houses in northern Florida or on the gulf are built with concrete or on stilt foundations.

A secondary threat is prolonged flooding which can submerge entire homes with salt water for weeks at a time. That's very costly and not preventable with existing homes in flood zones.

Is this because the crash dummies they have used for many years to assess the safety of cars were based on men’s physiology?

Because every time I do refresher training for resuscitation at work, I always wonder why the resus dummies don’t have breasts, or pregnant bellies - because CPR on that kind of different physiology is a different feel.
We get infant and paediatric dummies - but always based on men physiology.

It always seems like such an oversite and such a disadvantage to women.
Tests trump documentation, though:

~ perl -MJSON::XS -E 'my $d = {foo => 42}; say encode_json($d); $d->{foo} eq "bar"; say encode_json($d);'
{"foo":42}
{"foo":"42"}
~ perl -MJSON::PP -E 'my $d = {foo => 42}; say encode_json($d); $d->{foo} eq "bar"; say encode_json($d);'
{"foo":42}
{"foo":42}
~ perl -MCpanel::JSON::XS -E 'my $d = {foo => 42}; say encode_json($d); $d->{foo} eq "bar"; say encode_json($d);'
{"foo":42}
{"foo":42}

So it seems either the documentation is now wrong, or the assumptions about "usage" are wrong except for JSON::Xs (on Perl 5.32.1).

However, it "works as documented" when the implicit conversion is the other way around:

~ perl -MCpanel::JSON::XS -E 'my $d = {foo => "42"}; say encode_json($d); $d->{foo} == 0; say encode_json($d);'
{"foo":"42"}
{"foo":42}

> Every time someone tries to flip that, whether encoding arbitrary data structures to monomorphic values via a polymorphic visitor pattern, the smart-match experiment, or (as I already mentioned in this story's comments) polymorphic operators for data structure dereferencing, these problems occur.

Nothing in the typelessness of the language, though, makes it necessary to flip any internal state of a variable, though, any time its usage context changes. Especially if the state is readable by public API. Even in a typeless language, the "primary" type of the thing, if it's queryable by anything at all, should intuitively be what it's being set to by assignment or other kind of explicit mutation.
Apart from your (judging by your comment history apparently quite typical) insulting snide bullshit reading of my comment, for which go fuck yourself:

Yes. I know of a school locally to me that is rated inadequate that the parents adore, that I would choose over the next nearest independent day school which turns out weird aloof little Stepford children.

As for the snarky intentional bullshit misreading: “recently left school” in the UK means “completed school” as well, as in “recently left school for university” or “recently left school for college”. Engage your brain when I am talking about young adults and it should be clear I was talking about school leavers. They are the right people to ask if a school is good or not, because they are the ones most recently impacted by its actual performance.

By the way, well done for being able to tell I am not a parent. Perhaps you deduced that from the opening sentence where I said “I am not a parent”? That was a tricky one, so clever you :-)

RDS is very expensive. 3000 iops is included on EBS (EC2) , but costs ~$300/mo on RDS. Additional iops is 20x

The transition from on-premise DB to cloud DB can be jarring. With on-premise hardware your cpu usage and query throughput are correlated. With RDS your queries will suddenly hang without indication from traditional resource metrics.

Be meticulous about your iops & cpu needs, and assess whether snapshots & replication config is worth paying 3x for.

Yup. Even gross abuses of Redshift run fine with appropriate roll ups and caching. At a past job we did it “wrong enough” that it took a while for a more state of the art solution to catch up. This is not to say the abuse of Redshift should have been done, but AWS has been abused a lot and the engineers there have found a lot of optimizations for interesting workloads.

But to pick the wrong DB tool in the first place and bemoan it as “not scalable” is a bit like complaining that S3 made for a poor CDN without looking at how you’re supposed to use it with Cloudfront.
As someone with embedded development experience going back to the 1980’s and across more platforms than I can remember, I agree with your perspective.

Still, even so, I decided to give MicroPython a go for a new design; an industrial product we would ship in the tens of thousands of units.

This will count as one of the many choices I will regret making in my business history. I won’t bore you with details. We shipped 250 units. We are busy porting the code to C as fast as humanly possible.

At least I can say we tried. I have coded embedded systems with assembler, Forth, C and C++. Any one of these would be better than Python.

Yes, I use Python extensively for desktop, data science and web work. It simply isn’t a good fit for embedded work.

> If from a 128 bit key 120 are correct, it's trivial to figure out the others, even if you don't know which bits are the flipped ones.

Can you elaborate a bit? Off the top of my head, I feel like that scenario would leave 128-choose-8 possibilities open, or about 1.4 trillion. Are we calling that "trivial" or am I misunderstanding the attack?

(If you're calling that "trivial", I think that could be reasonable in a cryptography context where you're considering attackers with a lot of resources. It's just different from how I usually use that word. I don't disagree with your conclusion that leakage of even a few bits is worth worrying about.)

There's no such thing as instantenously "pushing" on a particle. E.g. electrons can be accelerated by electromagnetic fields. If the field changes, the electron feels a force and is accelerated according to a = F/m (handwaving away relativity). When you macroscopically push against a rigid body, what happens at the particle level is your constituent atoms' electrons (and protons) interact with each other through the electromagnetic field.

It seems to me that there are two huge (cosmetic? branding?) problems with async/await

1. The words are completely awful. There's nothing "not synchronous" about an async function. Maybe at best "not synchronized".

2. The idea of pretending async functions are still "functions" is kinda terrible.

This is really a huge problem in say python where the architecture (iirc) is via iterator/yield, so your function "actually" has multiple outputs.

Maybe a radical idea in PL design would be to actually make "async functions" be some sort of other thing in the same sense that, for example, pascal had "procs" and "functions"

You could easily solve the coloring problem by creating some sort of builtin that does an immediate, blocking execution of the function by compiling out all the suspend sites, or keeps them "in place" in the case where you want to keep things as if they are futures.
Entrepreneurship is the application of everything else they teach - marketing, communication, finance, etc etc. I have a hard time believing it can be taught. You either have the drive to apply other topics in a risky way or you don’t. In the entrepreneurship courses I took in my MBA, the approach was nowhere near what I did in practice starting a business nor what any other entrepreneur I know did. But the rest of the classes were of value (mostly…)
The size can be marginally different, while the impact may not be. Just like when material specs are only “marginally” lower and cause a part failure. While measurements are always continuous, failures often are not.

What about higher order library functions, since calling a green function from a red context is bad and we have no way to guarantee that a function is blue and not green, does this mean the function needs to be unsafe? It would be nice if the conversion from red to green would be done implicitly by the language where there is no ambient executor available, but I'm not sure what would be the implications for intra-task concurrency.
