It's better if they learn the core language and then graduate to TypeScript (if at all, as there's active discussion of adding type annotations to the core language [1]).

An anecdote: I was sold a similar story on CoffeeScript back in the day, stressed myself out learning it, only to discard it a couple years later. TS won't have an identical fate as its shepherded by Microsoft, but eventually it will go the way of the dodo (whereas core JS will still be humming along).

All of this seems quite reasonable to me, and I'm certain Gazans would agree to it. Certainly polls suggest the majority would support it [0].

I'd also add that there needs to be an end to apartheid in Israel. There may also be need of a deradicalisation program.

Even if undefined were not allowed, you'd still be able to write "f :: Int -> Int; f x = f x" which would never return an Int. Totality is about getting a grip on these cases. As mentioned more elquently then I could in this thread, it has been proven long time ago that termination-analysis is impossible to achieve. What Idris for instance does is to use proofs, adn to an extend heuristcs, to stil decide in special cases that a function is total, IOW terminates. Thats a pretty cool part of CS, since we're basically knowing something is impossible but still make small steps towards tackling the issue at least for some cases we care about.

No plans for a US federal regulation here? Wouldn't that save a lot of money and headache for everyone, if instead of complying with 50 different regulations you had one?
Not a lot about bird brains in general, instead discussion of some informal experimentation with urban crows.

I volunteer at a raptor conservation centre and have been impressed by the behaviours of the different birds, and the degree of mentation that is going on (or not). The smartest birds I met there were Caracaras [0] which could be trained to do various tricks, including carrying objects from one place to another, and could solve simple puzzles. Perhaps surprisingly, given their reputation for being wise, owls were some of the least intelligent, partly because their skulls have so much space occupied by their eyes compared with diurnal birds.

Sorry not seeing how this disproves anything in my post. "Some guy did it so it can't be that hard" is not a solid line of reasoning.

And as someone who has 3d printed stuff, there is a distinct lack of (hard to print) overhangs in this structure.

By the way, imo one of the hallmarks of impractical technology is stagnation, dude did it a decade ago, and 3d printed structures have the same problems today.
Great - it’s built like a bunker. No windows? I get the issue with overhangs in extrusion printing but seriously - who wants to live in a curvy cave?

My friends and I run a private WAN that we use to network between us instead of the public internet. We've been talking about adding a couple of dial-up lines as a backup to ensure access if one or more of us can't reach the gateways in a different way.
Yes.
But No.

Red V-Raptor S35 XL has 16.5 stops of dynamic range with 250-12,800 ISO.
ARRI Alexa 35 has 17 stops of range with 160-6400 ISO.
Both use rolling shutters, both have native ISO of 800. Alexa has better low light noise reduction at higher ISO, but Alexa is sharper and has better dynamic range in low light since it uses 8K to 4K down sampling.

The real difference is in the colour straight out of the chip and how the workflow is for DIT on set.

THe major difference I think is that Arri is already easy to use and slots in to the Hollywood human knowledge base and workflows while RED was mostly used by indie filmmakers, documentarians, Youtubers, and Silicon valley people (if you work at Apple in the US you can buy RED cameras cheaply through company benefits). This pretty much created a different culture of what images should look like around the two cameras. an Alexa camera sets you back close to 80K and a fully equiped RED sets you back about 44K. So its easier to buy it and use it while hollywood rents it on the day for the shoots.

You can get a RED to look like it was shot on Alexa and vice versa in post processing today, but the people who work with the different cameras have different cultures of what is "cinematic" image.

btw this is a good comparison https://wolfcrow.com/red-v-raptor-s35-xl-vs-arri-alexa-35-wh...
I tried to give zsh a shot as a bash replacement but ultimately returned to bash.

My main pain point was that zsh was really difficult to configure out of the box and a lot of the completions were much slower (cpu/wall time) than the equivalent completion in bash.

I'm sure some of that was simply ignorance on my part.
I think they publish their research here: https://www.inkandswitch.com
If any of you get this far down, one thing that caught my eye is that Google said they had analyzed this guy’s network traffic after locking his laptop, confirming various things. If you work at a large company like Google, every packet on their employee access network is recorded and indexed for forensic purposes.

This is not something Google would talk about publicly, but it’s standard practice in any company that is a serious target for sophisticated cyberespionage to spend a great deal on specialized equipment that can log all network traffic at scale.
That's news to me!

One thing I wonder about CC is whether you have to include attribution and license in the same page the work is embedded. It's common sense that this would be the case, but in Wikipedia, for example, CC works don't actually have attribution in the page they're shown, you have to click on them to see the attribution.

I wish this was clarified. Like, why is Wikipedia allowed to do this? Is it because they're thumbnails?
It's probably a typo for verbatim. It's probably not intentional, but either way, it illustrates that llms are quite forgiving, and that the LLM "understands" the typo, while a strict whitelist that checked for "markdown verbatim" would let the prompt through...
> Why is this taken as a given to be a good thing?

Aspiring to rigorous reason and maximum reasonability is necessary for virtue. Maths is the way we reason rigorously about space and time.
I guess by that same definition, Coffeescript isn't a compile-to-JavaScript language either, as it has the same semantics as vanilla JavaScript?

I think that's besides the point. My point was more that people who are supposed to learn JavaScript, should do so by learning vanilla JavaScript first, then they can move on to learning whatever is currently hyped by the zeitgeist (which happens to be TypeScript currently).

Where have you seen this? And what is the claim that will be delivered?

I'm absolutely certain something will be delivered in the next year or two. It's probably not AGI.
I think it depends entirely on who the end user is.

It's completely understandable in situations where there is no allowable downtime except the weekend.

But if it's a SaaS product to categorize sticky notes... probably not worth risking ruining a Friday.
This is really cool, and also seems like it could be a great gift to a loved one.

I was playing around with Nomic Atlas (https://docs.nomic.ai/) recently and dumped a bunch of my chat history in there, and it was pretty interesting to visualize and browse my messages as clusters around topics.

Which leads me to think that you could bring the searchability of digital to the physical format by generating embeddings for the messages and running topic modeling on them; then, you could create an index of topics at the end of the physical book with page number references to messages about that topic.
I mean linux updates are everything but seamless, it highly depends on your exact config and distro, certain hardware configs break every single kernel version, hell even Nvidia would break they drivers super often not even that long ago. Smaller vendors with closed source drivers were even worse. Software just breaks sometimes no matter the amount of testing that you do. It's better just just accept that and deal with it when it comes up.

And in my experience (mostly server linux, client Windows/macOS) the worst updates are still macOS, they take for ever to install. Linux and Windows seem to at least install quickly, like a full upgrade takes less than 20 minutes on both, while a minor release for macOS will make my MacBook try to lift off like a jet engine for 45 minutes.
"binding" seems like a more casual term for memory pointer. I guess if people are just getting started with programming it make sense to simplify things a bit.
It's SOP in all companies, not just those facing sophisticated threat actors - there's a reason EDRs like Crowdstrike and SentinelOne are massive players now.
Sure, you can't remove all risk, but you can reduce it and reduce the risk of unexpected firefighting work. You can implement rolling or blue/green deployments that roll-back on failure. The key is being able to identify failures, which means having meaningful canaries to identify issues. Those canaries can also improve your operational awareness so they aren't just a deployment investment.

If you don't deploy on Friday then you lose 20% of your deploy opportunity. If you only deploy once or twice a week, then sure - choose Monday/Wednesday or something, but if you deploy more frequently then improve your deployment safety.

Quite an allegation... any reference to them sponsoring/encouraging stealing IP or am I misreading and you simply meant it's a government sponsored startup accelerator program?
That's faster than you can read, isn't it? Or at least fast enough to deliver through voice (which is even slower than reading).

And now you've said it a third time. It doesn't matter. You made a bold comment that was inaccurate, and people will call you on it to set the record straight.

The book is actually maintained on GitHub too, https://github.com/marijnh/Eloquent-JavaScript.

When I was just starting out I read this book and noticed a small mistake, I was really proud that one of my first contributions to any open source project was a PR to this repo.
A few comments have cheerfully reproduced the stock objection that a program with no side effects does nothing and is thus useless. By extension functional programming is useless and it's all pointless.

I'd like to counter that a function from vector of bytes to vector of bytes can be pure, terminating, implement some algorithm of great commercial interest and map exactly onto a program that reads said vector of bytes from stdin and sends them to stdout.

If you're really generous, it can write two vectors of bytes, and tie the other one to stderr.

That covers such useless academic things as your compiler.

Violating some company's ToS is completely irrelevant when it comes to actual laws.

And more importantly, it makes no sense that Epic has to interact with Apple at all in order to sell software to owners of Apple products. Apple has implemented systems which makes this very hard or impossible for non-expert users. Which means Apple violates basic principles of ownership.
Your link shows that China & Japan can build quickly now, and that the US and the UK could build quickly in the past.

Also keep in mind that the limited amount of data for US/UK plants are for long planned expansions. Vogtle was built to accomodate 4 reactors from the start. So Vogtle 3 & 4 should have taken considerably less time than average.

But let's be generous and say that a greenfield project takes less time to construct than Vogtle, or 10 years. Do you think planning & approvals can be done in less than 10 years?

Even the touted "small modular reactor" projects take over a decade. For example, the INL small reactor project started in 2013, kept getting delayed until it had a start date of 2030, and then was cancelled a few months ago.

And meeting demand with nuclear would require around ~200 full size reactors. 20 years to build 200 reactors sounds extremely optimistic to me.
"binding" is pretty standard terminology in some oldtimey languages; lisp, ML, etc.

Which further exposes the irony of casual hipsters who say things to me like "Thank God for Typescript, it's like a whole other language than JS". For example, a designer, who writes a quick one off plug-in for Figma in Typescript without realizing 99.9% could have been just written/pasted into the JS file (which is ultimately what Figma runs).

> Because TypeScript is the de facto standard way of writing JavaScript for most of the industry

It really isn't, but I guess that's really context specific. What country and sector are you talking about? For US-SaaS, what you're saying is probably true, but there is a whole world outside of that, and JavaScript is with 99% certainty much more wildly used than TypeScript.

> and it has killed all of the other compile-to-js languages.

Also it hasn't. I've been writing ClojureScript for the last 5 years, almost exclusively. And while the community is small, I wouldn't say it's "dead" or been killed. There are a bunch of compile-to-JS languages that haven't "been killed", besides ClojureScript.

But it serves basically the opposite niche compared to TypeScript.

> The chances of it going out of favour are very slim

Same has been said about everything, always, and it's always not true. Winds change, and surely so shall the winds of TypeScript. Not being able to see that it's possible, will put you at disadvantage.
It does mean more rats though.

The superformula depends of four parameters and is able to model many different curves. I wonder if that superformula would be useful to learn to generalize the form of a curve given few points. It could be that, in same way, the four parameters of that curve are a orthogonal bases in the hypothesis space, in the sense that each parameters add a lot the information. If this intuition has any meaning, it could be the start of a new theory for constructing bases of the hypothesis space, that is models with few parameters but great expressive power.

Edited: (1) The following link explains expressivity and generalization power in machine learning: https://blog.evjang.com/2017/11/exp-train-gen.html

So my question is whether the superformula constitute an example of great expressivity and powerful generalization for curve fitting by using machine learning models.

Edited: (2) In the following link they use the superformula,
Automatic Generation of Smooth Curves from Interpretable

So the intuition seems fruitful.

Same effect for me inside the US, west coast versus east coast.

Dr. Dobb's had an incredible run of relevancy, from the 70's through the 90's.
The GGP suggested "officially transfer the single extension to a new owner" which you can obviously already do (by giving the new owner your account, if nothing else), and "tell the user the ownership changed and offering them a chance to uninstall" can already be done by any extension that has any sort of UI. You don't need to "[transfer] an extension's user base from one extension to another".
that may well be, but for me, I choose no hinting, with AA activated, and if a font does not look good, I simply do not use it.

IF i specifically REALLY wanted a font that required hinting to look good, I would make a special config for that particular font, but I would need some serious advantage to bother doing that
I have no take on whether or not this specific situation is priced in or not. However I’d challenge you on the second comment. I’ve found Taleb’s advice very actionable but it did take a lot of thinking about it to move from abstract thoughts into practice.
Protect Your Content with Blockchain (Open-Source)
If you have a blog, you need to read this.

In the past few months, there's been an increase of $$$ lost due to copyright scams.

Businesses are losing money because of stolen content.

If you make money from content, I've got something special to help you.

I've spent 6+ months working on a WordPress plugin.

To Protect your content with blockchain copyright protection.

Publish your content with verifiable certificates and a verifiable revision history.

Sign up to the waitlist to know when it launches!

→ https://scoredetect.com/wordpress

Transparent, 24/7 verifiable, blockchain-enabled, easy-to-use, privacy-first.

Our initial release will contain the following features:

1 → Easily connect your ScoreDetect account to WordPress

2 → You can then enable Timestamping for a post (or, custom post type)

3 → Once enabled, everytime the post is saved, a timestamp will be created with a verifiable certificate.

4 → A "Timestamp" Gutenberg block will allow you to showcase a " verified badge" with a link to the certificate — for that post

5 → You can specify if you wish to be "anonymous" or identify your account/username with the certificate.

~ More features coming soon! ~
Kind of an unpopular opinion, but we should create a formal certification system for developers. Not something like a license to code, but something more like a professional organization where to get in you have to do all the BS that you get in interviews. This is how it works for lawyers, doctors, accountants and other professionals. Imagine doctors going on job interviews and being asked trivia questions from high school biology like draw the Krebs Cycle on a whiteboard. It's ridiculous. If we could get the BS out of the way, job interviews could be more about finding out what an individual can bring to the organization. Everyone would be happier.

>tech/customer support and government impersonation scams, targeting mostly the elderly, led to more than $1.3 billion in losses.

And in the U.S. at least, many of these elderly are very interested in trying to deduct these losses from their taxable income. As a skeptic, I think it is too tempting to claim "I was scammed out of $200K in digital assets" (which may have been purchased in the first place as part of the alleged scam) in order to actually hide those assets from family and/or the government.
1) the most common binding used in well written modern JavaScript is a const binding. It is by definition not a variable.

2) the ‘binding/tentacle’ metaphor works just fine for primitives and the ‘boxes’ model adds more complexity.
