It would be kind of cool Nikon is able to bring the price of RED cameras down. I've wanted a truly professional-grade camera for awhile, but I cannot justify spending $10k-20k for something that would fundamentally be a glorified toy to me (since I don't do anything professional with camera).

I was hoping that pro-grade 4k cameras would drop to the sub-$500 mark by now, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Even the comparatively cheaper Blackmagic Pocket Cinema cameras are on the order of $2,000-$3,000. I guess the engineering for cameras that nice has fairly high "minimum cost" that can't easily be brought down by industrialization?
And this is where they fail - the people who gets their boards have almost zero interest in upstreaming whatever hardware enablement they do to make the boards sort of work for their specific use cases.

Turso introduces additional pricing flexibility with support for Overages
This actually strikes me as an example of a political decision creating a stickiness to academic formal standards (as others point out this has become a policy for various organizations' approval of findings). Since the "replication crisis" that happened in the last decade, a lot of people's explanations for this have centered around the use of the fisherian significance test and how gameable it can be, as well as pressures toward publishing positive results. I think there's some merit to solutions involving changing those standards and a lot of STEM people have advocated for them. However, things like drug trials have politically-determined standards that need to be upheld, and some of those standards have become well-known by the general public, so they can't really be bugfixed quickly
An even more extreme version of this is life in the seas under an ice world like Europa.

It's sad to see that despite Alan Kay's lamentations, not a single comment mentions Doug Englebart or the fireflies to be found.

I am pretty sure author is not thinking about teams talking to upper management, but rather upper management talking to teams, claiming the project will succeed while it is really on the failing track and needs urgent intervention.

I've seen this once in my career: one of the project directors claiming the certain project is fine in the face of opposite evidence, doing nothing while it went further and further off-track, until the customers (who have seen the status reports) asked for a deliverable and everything just collapsed. This was very amusing to see from the distance, but if I really cared about the project I would be very disheartened.

(But I would not call this director "moron" - they got their 7-figure salary for few years, and while they did lose their position, I am sure they will eventually find a new project to lead)

One hundred percent agree on both this book and the “You don’t know JavaScript”. Both are free (search Kyle Simpson GitHub). I ended up buying the YDKJ first edition paperbacks but see the second edition of all of them are done or a work in progress. EJs is the one I tell my students to start with as IMO is more of a programming book that just happens to us JS. I can tell the ones that read it (it’s optional) and the ones that do not. I do a few random chapters every year and learn something that I either missed or forgot I knew every time. I am mostly using TS these days but also enjoy vanilla JS for side projects and prototypes. Note the YDKJ books can come off as very ‘only my opinion is the right one’ kind of like JS the good parts but just look past that and absorb the content, what you do with it after that is up to you regardless of the author’s opinion.
> You mean the use of a writing system to share knowledge amongst ourselves?

No. And what's with the "it is so bad yet you used it"? I am very much allowed and required to denounce a system even if I cannot escape it or if I could have somehow profited from it or chosen to use it.

I very much reached the point where I am despite the educational systems I was exposed to. And a system geared towards memorization and regurgitation of data in textual format where pupils can successfully use a chatbot to avoid doing work is certainly failing its goals of educating the youth.

I would point you to the complaints of American teachers about the reading and mathematics levels of students, if only because that is widely accessible. I did not grow up in the US and the school system in my home country is leagues behind the US.

This sounds more like a syncing strategy issue. Maybe you just need to schedule delays into the sync. Or more likely, stop peer syncing. Instead of syncing from A to B then B to server, sync A to sever then server to B. A master sync strategy that uses the time on master is probably better then peer syncing strategies if you're having issues with time keeping between systems.

I appreciate this article. It's clear, easy to understand, and uses theory to propose practical improvements to FP.

Some minor nitpicks:

> In total functional programming ⊥ does not exist.

That doesn't seem right. In total FP, we can still define a ⊥ type that has no values. I think the problem here is that the author uses ⊥ to indicate both a type and a value of that type (e.g. f ⊥ = ⊥), which is confusing.

> 0 / 0 = 0

Surely it would be better to use a Maybe type for this instead?

0 / 1 = Just 0
0 / 0 = Nothing

The same approach also addresses the difficulty of hd:

hd :: List a -> Maybe a
hd (Cons a x) = Just a
hd Nil = Nothing

F# has this function, and calls it "tryHead", rather than just "head".
Catching all cheaters is impossible for any reasonable amount of cash spent (remember all the possibilities people came up for that chess thing?) - which means they want to reduce cheating to a level that is acceptable.

* Full body searches

* Faraday cages
> If they really want to grow fast they are welcome to invest in generating capacity and grid infrastructure too.

That's what I was getting at: if the grid is burdened by their demand, and the demand is outpacing other uses (preventing other productive use of that electricity like say... powering air conditioners in a heat wave) then maybe they should be contributing a portion of their capital to building more capacity.

Why does every one else, from residential users to small businesses, need to suffer rolling blackouts because a bunch of VPs need to, "win at AI?"

At this point it seems like the big tech companies are simply using up as much supply as they can get in order to grow and that there's only so much capacity to go around since funding for expansion comes from investments in projects that aren't being funded by the largest growing set of users creating that demand.
So what are you complaining about? That the compiler told you "Don't do that" but you ignored it?

I mean, you said:

but the compiler is trying to save you! You have to actively work against it in order to hang yourself, and you blame the language?

Yeah. Right. I guess mysterious strangers keep uploading that porn disguised as something else for no good reason. How did they find it themselves if it is mislabeled?

Even if they didn't upload it themselves, going after people who clearly did not mean to download gay porn and trying to shame them into submission is absolutely despicable leech-like behavior deserving of every bit of contempt. I do not understand how these people are able to exist in society. If it was my own father doing that, we'd have a falling out.
Funnily enough I had a similar issue that only occurred after switching to Wayland, that turned out to be due to a bad DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor.

The problem with that argument is that Apple is demonstrably incapable or unwilling of securing their devices, despite the walled garden. Pegasus and a dozen other spyware exploit iOS vulnerabilities which have remained open for at least a couple of _years_ and Apple seemingly doesn't care.

The only way to secure a device is to actually give control of the device to the user. But that would imply no more Apple tax, so Apple would rather die on that hill than follow the DMA. Add to that their psychopathic need for control.

No, it's not. Unemployment rate is a bullshit metric and people need to stop relying on it. It measures the number of people collecting unemployment benefits, not people who are unemployed. Labor Force Participation[0] is a better metric. Since Jan 2000, the US is still down nearly 5% participation. And since COVID, we're still down nearly 1%.

A really high performance vectorizer is dramatically easier to write if you hand wave some of the correctness ideas. It's an interesting point in the design space. Classically compilers considered miscompilation to be a serious problem - you disable the 'optimisation' while you work out who got the maths wrong. But maybe today you're better off with a compiler that produces fast wrong code where the customer doesn't seem to be upset about the wrong part. ffast-math is popular, enabling that by default is a plausible thing to do.

Plenty of bugs in gcc and llvm. I'm really sure a closed source compiler could be higher quality. Probably not in the C++ world, but I expect there's an ADA compiler out there that gets the answer right whatever the source code is.

It is perhaps worth pointing out that most of the rest of this comment section is people either saying how great it is that this progress is being made... or describing all the fun little ways that Wayland still breaks things for them.

They'd love to shut bitcoin down, but bitcoin's job to to separate money and state.

All governments can do is try to slow it down or embrace it. And while one government is trying to slow down it's adoption, another government is embracing it and thriving because of it. The ones who adopt first will have an enormous advantage over the ones who adopt it last. It won't belong before we see a world-wide "arms race" with nations trying to acquire as much bitcoin as they can. In fact, looking at the hash rate, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a nation state sponsored mining operation already.

I used to work at Typeform, so always fun to see these alternatives popup :)

It seems like a good beginning, but missing some polish, especially around keyboard usage. You should probably allow users to finish an answer by pressing "Enter" and it goes to the next one, Tab + Shift+Tab goes to next/previous question and so on.

The rating field also seems to return "This field is required" when you put in something else than numbers. If you use <input type=number/> you basically get free validation :)

As a question for the service/business itself, how do you plan to differentiate yourself from Typeform? As it stands right now, Typeform would probably beat you on design/UX, so you might want to figure out a different angle to attack.

Good luck!

My small city of 50K is soon to be home to an $800M 700K sq ft Meta data center that will employ 100 people. I don't think the planners involved in these deals care much about risks, like the power company might have to petition the state regulator to increase rates for everyone so they can build a new power plant to satisfy demand. IMO they are only focused on the reward part.

> Or are you saying they should pay more per KWh than some other user for some reason?

I just checked, and residential electricity users pay more than commercial or industrial users:

"Residential Sector: The average price is approximately 17.08 cents per kWh. Commercial Sector: The average price is around 13.10 cents per kWh. Industrial Sector: The average price is about 9.47 cents per kWh."
