That's only the intro. Here's the conclusion: https://www.cornerstone.com/insights/cases/janet-baker-v-gol...

> Professor Gompers opined that at the time the acquisition closed, Dragon was a troubled company that was losing money and had regularly missed its own financial projections. It was highly uncertain whether Dragon could survive as a stand-alone entity. Professor Gompers also showed that technology stocks were on a downward trend, and L&H was the only buyer willing to pay the steep price Dragon demanded. Thus, he concluded that if the company had not accepted the L&H deal, Dragon likely would have declared bankruptcy. The jury found in favor of the defendants and awarded no damages to the plaintiffs.

Why is jitter important in a queue?
Ah yes, which administration would bring the case? lol which judge review the case?

I somewhat agree, but the way the current antitrust configuration is in the US, the DOJ or perhaps a state attorney can bring the case. All of them are elected and part of one of those parties.
Thanks for reporting - will fix in the next update!
Yes you are. You are telling yourself what's the best way to do things in your own team, that is comprised of only yourself.
As an aside, is there anything like the Smalltalk/Pharo object browser and IDE for javascript in a web browser?
Exactly.

I have always wanted to play around with experimental film making but not enough to find a group of actors let alone pay them.

Congrats on shipping it!

I agree, good book data is hard to find despite so many big sources out there.
And Amazon API is unavailable (unless you register as an affiliate, but you need a working relevant project to get approved in the first place).

I am working on a project to scrape some regional book stores, and I am finding it really hard to find an API which can reliably give all the data needed for a book. Google Books API so far has been working okay but turns out a single book has so many ISBNs based on which region or publication its been sold and there isn't an API that provides the list of ISBNs for all its releases.

Your comment made me want to explore AI, hopefully I could find a way to use it for my project and make my life simpler.

If you have tips or pointers, highly appreciated.

Have a great day.
This looks great. My only suggestion is to be more specific and clear on pricing, rather than 1/10th of the price.
This is insane! As a hobby hardware designer myself, I can imagine how much work must have gone into reaching this stage. Well done!
There's a manual way to run the UI locally for now: https://app.radicle.xyz/nodes/ash.radicle.garden/rad:z4V1sjr...

We'll be also working on packaging the js bundle so that it can be distributed and served locally without setting up a dev environment in the future.

I agree that free markets plus free unionization can lead to great results (look at Sweden - no labour laws and strong unions and high wages).

But this hankering for a catastrophically flawed social system (built-in hate for other classes?!) that depends on changing human nature and thus never works is even cringier than Ayn Rand-quoting teenagers who want no government at all.
Great high level explanation.

Note: if you look into the details of how setting up namespaces and cgroups works you'll run away in horror. The APIs are very iteratively evolved piecework, not really a coherent(ly designed) abstraction.
Fidelity are clowns. They've spent an impressive effort breaking every god damn third party integration AND using Akamai to block scraping. I can scrape Ameriprise fine, but no matter how creative I get Fidelity gives back a weird error on login.

The deficit since October is roughly the same as all defense expenditures: https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/natio...
So even if they went to zero and didn’t have any effect on revenue, we’d still end up the year with debt ballooning. The lion share of expenditures are non-discretionary, and public debt increase is largely determined by demographics and interest rates.
The issue here are online payments, where NFC is either not available (payment is initiated on the desktop, while the payment app is mobile) or not necessary (payment is initiated on the same device that handles authorization).

There is no way to disrupt NFC payments and no need to - they are already secure, user friendly and can be used by any other major payment provider which gathers the critical mass.
Modern relation databases are not a concern at all. You get race conditions if the developer has only a passing knowledge of SQL, because otherwise that's a basically solved problem, with the existence of transactions, isolation modes, etc. If all else fails, your query throws an error, but it does not corrupt your database.

Much more common instead are race conditions on local storage, external APIs and traditional memory races when using unsophisticated languages.

How come so many Americans are afraid of eating insects?
I have often seen this meme, and never understood it. I know that the average American is a bit more squeamish about a lot of things, from nudity to eating raw meat. The former can be explained by the puritan influence, the latter by the food standards which would possibly make things like Mett[0] a bit unsafe.

This, however - together with the opposition to walkable cities - I can't wrap my head around. How can eating an insect burger be worse than eating chicken nuggets?

I really honestly want to believe, but pledges hold no legal weight.

I guess this means we’re probably OK for v3 when it comes out, but by the time we’re in v4 land it’ll be (guessing) 4-5 years later, at which point the pledge can be forgotten and swept under the rug.

I really hope I’m wrong, but the reality of an unknown financial future tells me otherwise.
Basic question I have yet to have answered - are the planes actually less safe than 10 years ago OR is this a media blitz on the topic?

Alternatively, is this a maintenance issue or a construction issue?
The people irritated by evangelists are morphing into some sort of evangelists themselves.
I don't think so. Instead we created an artifact which can live inside an OS, but cannot see and touch to the rest of the OS.

CGroups is a deceptively powerful mechanism. You can isolate a process resource wise (X cores, Y amount of memory, Z amount of swap), network wise (a different virtual network adapter with its own IP, bandwidth limits, etc.) and FS wise (running in its own filesystem with devices it can see).

It can keep your system tidy by encapsulating elaborate stacks which makes system management painful, allows deterministic operation and image generation if you tag everything with version.

Downside is you can do bad things with it like terminating HTTPS with a gateway container and talk HTTP among your backend instead of configuring tools, or writing shoddy software, and getting away with it because it works, or gets automatically restarted when it crashes 6 times a day.

I don't run every service as a container, because some services suffocate when they are in a container, but for short running things which needs system-wide changes to function, or test-driving small services before fully committing, it's a good tool to have.

However, it's abused with no end, and their popular use leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Comments like this add nothing.
There is a lot to learn from it, but you would have difficulty right now to apply it to Common Lisp development. People are working on improvements, but for the most part we are beamed to the state of the art of 30+ years ago, which is impressive enough.

If we stay on the Lisp side for a moment. Slighty different from Interlisp, then is Symbolics Genera. It's the OS and development environment of networked workstations for groups of Lisp programmers. The manual(s) has a chapter on the philosophy. I've put it online (the text is not by me, but from the manual): http://lispm.de/genera-concepts Then there is the idea to keep the developer "in the flow" while programming: http://lispm.de/symbolics-lisp-machine-ergonomics

Then there are the commercial environments, which have a similar development environment. Allegro CL and LispWorks. One marketing slogan there was: the cost of change to the software most only depends on the size of the change, not on the size of the software under development. Both have the advantage that they support application "delivery" on normal computers: Windows, Macs, UNIX, Linux, ...

Nowadays I think the combination of SBCL, SLIME + GNU Emacs (for the IDE), version controlled source code sites (Gitlab: https://common-lisp.net/project-intro ) , test suites, etc. makes for a very powerful development environment for groups. For example the SBCL implementation is a sizable and complex Lisp project itself, which is managed very well by the maintainers. There is a good build process and people have been porting SBCL, which is an optimizing native code compiler, to new platforms without much problems.

In the Lisp history there was always also the idea to apply exploratory development environments to other languages, improving on what various Lisp systems did. Example from the past, improving on Lucid CL: Energize, foundation for a C++ environment. https://dreamsongs.com/Files/Energize.pdf The development UI was Lucid Emacs, Objectstore was the code database, they had an incremental linker/compiler for C++.

While the protein extracts from fungi or from plants solve the problem of the non-animal sources of protein having an undesirable ratio between protein content and energy content, they are much more expensive than meat or eggs and they have an unknown environmental impact, due to high consumption of energy and of chemicals.

The fact that these protein extracts are more expensive than meat, per protein content, should be a strong clue that their real environmental impact is also worse, even if their producers avoid to document it.

I am aware of only a single method of protein extraction that can provide separated protein that is cheaper than chicken meat and which requires no chemicals that could leave residues in the protein and which uses little energy (but it requires an additional non-negligible water consumption). This is the extraction of gluten from wheat flour, by making a dough and washing it.

For the (relatively few) people who have gluten intolerance, this unique method is not applicable, but in many parts of the world (i.e. where soy is expensive) it is the only way that I know of that can be used for achieving a vegan diet that is less expensive than eating meat. Without gluten, a lower protein cost than for meat could be achieved only by combining vegetable protein sources like lentils with chicken eggs.
Very briefly, until someone makes an ASIC that does the same thing and FPGAs are relegated to niche use-cases once again.

FPGAs only make long-term sense in applications that are so low-volume that it's not worth spinning an ASIC for them.

As a bonus, shared libraries are deduplicated in RAM, too.

Plus you don't need to recompile the universe because of a patch.
I love ECS. But I'd also tip my cap to Azure App Service. They're both full flexible models that utilize the core services of public cloud but limit your exposure to the bare necessities.

CDN->Load Balancer->autoscale docker->database. That serves 90% of use cases but you'll have access to the myriad other services they offer for anything else that comes up.

Is that sans-IO pattern doing anything particularly novel, or is that basically just a subset of what any functional programmer does anyway?

Don't get me wrong, I'm fully on board with isolating IO. But why not go the slight extra step and just make it completely pure? You've already done the hard part of purity. The rest is easy.

Then you get all those nice benefits of being generic over async and sync, but can also memoize and parallelize freely, and all the other benefits of purity.
One could argue the US has been an empire since we gobbled up the Spanish empire in the Spanish American war. So it has been 125 years or so.

So, your pauseless GC pauses or requires some form of resource contention (probably mutex-based) to share the state. It's not possible to have a pauseless GC in thread per core, which immediately rules it out for HPC. These are the types of things that the "GC for everything" crowd admits that they don't understand when making such statements.
... Huh. So it did. Don't remember seeing any; it was mostly Leafs (Leaves?) back then. Maybe they never did a rhd version or something.

Yeah, but lots of denim dungarees - all you'd see is Felicity's head and hands.
It seems like there is a fallacy baked in here; that since all computaion is Turing-computable, that all models of computation are equivalent?

A computation system is an execution mechanism plus data on which to compute, plus an program or meta-algorithm. Otherwise the computation and the mechanism are unified and the device is a calculator, and not a computer.

The assumption that systems with unknown data and algorithms (somewhat the current state of LLMS) are fundamentally not Turing computable is demonstrably false.

That the Turing machine itself is fundamentally a different computation mechanism than a Turing machine with a program of arbitrary complexity, however, is true, and is what I think the author may be rubbing against?

The meta-algorithm of a program vs the algorithm inherent in processing equipment is I think what the author is seeing here. some languages seek to constrain the potential randomness of the meta-algorithm . This does certainly constrain the possibilities of their output, by design, and can be as constraining to innovation as it is to undesired behavior for this reason; the requirement is to understand the problem in its entirety before beginning, which is to say that these languages excel at problems that are a priory already solved.

Anyway, that’s my ramble about the authors ramble lol.
> the team will create two versions of NOVAJoint: a version that uses patient’s own cells and one that uses donor cells.

Yes we have taken a look at existing freight management tools. We are trying to go even more specific and manage specifically raw commodities and their shipment processes. There are enough specific criteria that go along with managing these supply chains that we believe we can provide compelling tools out of the box for our customers.
Yeah, that happens sometimes. We're on the same page.

Have a nice day :)

If you don’t want your kids to have access to social media, then you should definitely stop them. Don’t let them have a smart phone, put it in family mode, etc etc. Asking US states to build the infrastructure of a police state to stop your kids doing things you don’t want is … a ridiculous and dangerous overreaction.
> Facebook ultimately shut down Onavo in 2019 after Apple booted the VPN from its app store.

Unfortunately, the EU attacking Apple’s ability is do things like this in the future will harm consumers.

A world of anybody being able to have their own App Store is one where a massive company like Facebook bullies their users into using their App Store, and trading their privacy for access to the largest social network on the planet.
That is good point. The original Google designs are public, those were papers that were published. Anybody could create a new 'google', its just about getting name recognition and users. Guess example is DuckDuckGo, or Bing, they throw money at advertising just to get users, but underlying search isn't the problem.

I inherited a project on fly.io but before that I’ve used ECS as my primary platform. While ECS is kubernetes lite, fly is ECS but a little more dev friendly in the realm of not dealing with the complexities of IAM etc. It has other downfalls, but it’s the sweet spot for my early stage products right low…although i do expect I’ll end up on ECS if this is going well a year from now.
Again, you can push the blame back and back and back in time, but putting an engineer at the helm doesn't seem to have righted the ship either. Then it's not clear why such a background is necessary or sufficient for the successor in that position. Arguably the more important criteria may be that a candidate be from outside the Boeing organization, thus making them better suited to see beyond the existing structure and culture.
Good thing genetic testing wasn't available to Ludwig Van's parents, then. They might've decided not to bring such a dud into the world, especially with a tendency to liver disease.

Seriously, it seems that genetics either has low explanatory power, or we are still too ignorant to understand it properly.
This could be a really exciting roadmap for the long run. We actually believe there is enough of a market just selling solutions and tools to traders and producers that we haven't really thought about an "open API" sort of solution.

We have had ad-hoc conversations about the possibility, but I do think it could be an impactful solution if done correctly.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.
> As I understand it, the ER cannot refuse patients without money or insurance?

That's true, and a whole other discussion. If our ER wait times are 6+ hours primarily because they are full of people without a way to pay for treatment that's a much bigger problem.

> Also people can get sick in the middle of the night or outside of regular clinic hours.

For sure, that can absolutely happen. Though I'd argue the bar should still be high with regards to when a person should go to the ER. Unless its a true emergency one could still wait until clinics open for regular hours.
The way I think of it is that with permissive licences the freedoms can be removed from the code, but with copyleft the freedoms can't be removed from the code. By freedoms I mean the freedom to study the source code, to run it for whatever purpose you want, to make modifications and to share the code with other people.

Not sure it says what you think/want it to say:

> You are responsible for the information, text, opinions, messages, comments, audio visual works, motion pictures, photographs, animation, videos, graphics, sounds, music, software, Apps, and any other content or material that

That's the prefix to your first paragraph, meaning you as the user is responsible for that, not that Vultr is responsible for that.

Your second paragraph is explicitly about "for purposes of providing the Services to you" which it'd be really hard to argue that "using your user's uploaded photo for Vultr's marketing promotion" is for the purpose of providing a service to you, so I don't think you have to be afraid of that.

I'm sure Vultr's terms and conditions contain horrible shit, just like any other terms and conditions. But I don't think those two paragraphs highlight anything more nefarious than usual.
Multicloud makes sense once you get to megascale where you have a dedicated team negotiating with CSPs over your discounts. If you can credibly flip a switch and move your multi-million dollar workload to a competitor, you can save big money.

This comes on top of the benefit that architecting for multi-cloud at that scale usually forces you to simplify/rationalize/automate ruthlessly and so is probably beneficial for a "mature" org with lots of cruft anyway.

That said there may only be a few dozen companies in the world where this makes sense. I happen to work for one, but most engineers don't. Even then, this is at the extreme right of the maturity curve, meaning that there is lots of lower-hanging fruit to pick first
