Grim as it is, the golden age of the US was in part due to Europe bombing basically all of their manufacturing.

A non-world ending war in Asia would probably be good for the US' economy.

I'm not advocating for that, it would be in no way worth the human costs, but war isn't necessarily bad for the economy.
Because it's so crowded, I guess. It's a nice place, especially the exterior and the workshops. The interior feels too bland.

Milan's Dom isn't that impressive to me, but perhaps that's because I've seen more grand, old churches, and the Sagrada Familia felt like something different.
There is one reason left: copyright.

A true decentralized content sharing platform cannot prevent copyright infringement. That's the guarantee that we have built our entire society around. Copyright isn't even about artists making money anymore. It's the tool we use to litigate fraud. It's the tool we use to demand privacy. It's the foundation for content-moderation.

If we want a decentralized web, we need to leave copyright out of it. The greatest challenge for that is moderation. I advocate that we replace moderation with curation.
And how do "you" evaluate Alice, with an MS in Computer Science, active Github, ten years of experience, all FAANG? Exactly the same way.

Even if I agreed with your premise that the prevailing paradigm is necessary for Bob (spoiler: I don't agree), I would rather it not be for Alice.
Opera was the most popular browser in Belarus in late 2000s. Happened mostly because of word of mouth and bunch of features that allowed to save data when browsing. Most users at that moment had metered connections like 800 megabytes per month, but up to 100mbit/s or really slow 30kbit/s but unlimited.
I think the same sentiment applies though. Banks rubber-stamped loans for commercial real estate developers because they thought it was free money. Now they know it isn't.
I love how some people see holding others accountable as communism. And by love I mean it’s an incredibly stupid and toxic attitude.
This is an excellent article, thank you for submitting it! I love how effortlessly this article delivered an intuition for why an ideal antenna length would be half of the wavelength of the signal you want to receive. I was also delighted by the point about how all methods of modulating a wave can be recontextualized as frequency modulation!

The thing is, most of the 60's/70's building look like shit from outside but are pretty nice and super funcional from the inside while some older ones were made for an era where people had huge hotel particuliers with servants and stuff and the current appartments have been build by splitting those in parts. Those appartments that aren't as well made/functionnal despite being nice to look at and having lots of vertical space, nice carved/moulded ceiling, etc.
I eventually landed on pipx as fighting with Pyenv and Anaconda - via Miniconda - was an exercise in frustration. There's some mucking about in `$HOME/.local`, but this is mostly self-contained and not a huge chore to keep running.

Coming from the Homebrew/Ruby ecosystem - Hey @mikemcquaid - installing a entirely separate package manager just to deal with a few projects felt like the wrong thing to do.

Occasionally, I have still needed to compile Python myself in order to get things to work, which isn't guaranteed not to blow up w/ `brew`, but this has become far less common of late.
IIRC the main reason they struggled to find customers wasn't because of safety concerns, but because of Bombardier's financial uncertainty. The program's costs far exceeded budget and the company was on the brink of bankruptcy. The final nail in the coffin was when Boeing convinced US regulators that Bombardier was dumping in order to enter that market segment. This resulted in a 300% duty, which indirectly forced them to sell to Airbus for $1.
Oh and just to add onto it, I think async/await is not really the best solution to tackle these semantic difference. I prefere the green-thread-IO approach, which feels a might more heavy but it leads to a true understanding how to combine and control logic in a concurrent/parallel setting. Async/await is great to add it to languages that already have something like promises and want to improve syntax in an easy way though, so it has its place - but I think it was not the best choice for Rust.

You have the causation exactly backwards. Most of Germany's heavy industry disappeared or went offshore since the 1970s, and that's why we don't produce nearly as much energy.

This process predates both the green energy movement and the nuclear power exit. Steel and aluminium manufacturing just needed more power than dozens of buildings filled with office workers.
In the early 90s there was a site that sold CDs via Telnet. You'd telnet in, navigate their menu to select your CDs, and then check out. You know, give it your credit card number over Telnet as one does. Their selection was awesome compared to the standard stores of the day.

I believe it was called cdconnection.com, and then it was replaced with a more recognizable to modern eyes web based store by the mid-90s.
Even if you ignore performance completely, IO is unreliable. IO is unpredictable. IO should be scrutinized.
There’s a part of me that kind of wonders whether the Jewish Kashrut laws are meant to protect the most intelligent animals: the best-known laws (cloven feet, does not chew the cud, that which swims in the sea but does not have scales) end up protecting pigs, cetaceans and cephalapods (plus other stuff that’s not so bright, but put that aside).

There’s no rational reason to believe this, of course, but it’s still fun to imagine in a sort of Erik von Däniken way.
No worries. I was really writing for an audience of academics and, in particular, people involved in the various open science and publication reform movements. Sharing here was a bit of an after thought, so it wasn't written for an audience unfamiliar with the intricacies of academic publishing. It's a complicated enough space as it is that this is already a 4-5 article series with the potential to grow, even when I'm writing with the assumption of quite of a bit of knowledge.

But yeah, "preprint review" is considered post-publication review both in and outside of academia. There are nuances to what is consider "publication" in academia. A preprint is not a "Version of Record", meaning it doesn't count towards tenure and promotion. The movement pushing for preprint review is attempting to layer review on top of already public preprints in the hopes that reviewed preprints can begin to count as VORs. It's unclear whether that will work.

Some models, like eLife's, seem more promising than others. But eLife got a ton of backlash when they switched to their new reviewed preprint model, so it remains to be seen whether it will work in the long run.
If I am not mistaken, the original designs were destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.
>The question you should answer is: how much would an unsubsidised console cost?

(I'm not the person you replied to, but)

About as much as a gaming PC, because that's exactly what it is these days. Except actual gaming PCs of the same price would have lower TCO, since you don't need to pay for an Xbox Live/PSN subscription.
Async/await have one property that is slightly more difficult to achieve with threads, but isn't really discussed much and hasn't been used much to my knowledge: because context is captured fairly explicitly as records, this makes it easy to persist that context to durable storage and/or migrate them to other machines without any additional runtime machinery.

Achieving this with threads is possible but requires additional runtime support. Basically it requires scanning stack frames, which the garbage collector already does, so you're extending the GC to record stack in a separate place.
This makes total sense, up to a limit when it's about strategic resources. Food is certainly a strategic resource. But if you subsidize it so much that you export massively, that doesn't make sense.

Energy technology and chips certainly are also strategic resources.
> Nuclear is not remotely replacing fossil fuels either.

Of course it is not. But with nuclear + renewables, we are still heading towards a world without e.g. aviation because we won't have enough energy for all those planes we fly today.

Everything will be more complicated, and we can't afford to be picky with the low-carbon energy sources. Going with nuclear and renewables is infinitely better than what we are doing now (which is... going towards a catastrophe).
Seems like they could also be liable to cover the cost that would reasonably be incurred by a company with a good backup and disaster recovery plan.

Sure, async/await can have arbitrary side effects, just like functions, and threads can be used to return values - but the design pattern nudges you to a particular end. Basically the async/await version of some code looks like this:

f = await getAsync();

While the thread-based version looks like this:

var f;
t = startThread(getAsync(&f));
t.join();

This is a fundamentally different API. Of course you can implement one with the other, but that doesn't make them the same thing (just like objects and closures can be used to implement each other, but they are different nonetheless).

Of course, there are other concurrency APIs as well, such as the C++ futures you show. Those have other advantages, disadvantages, and workflows for which they fit best. The main difference is that get() on the future blocks the current OS thread if the value isn't available yet, while await doesn't. Thus, futures aren't very well suited to running many concurrent IO operations on the same thread.
The Commercial Resupply and Commercial Crew programs were intended to help develop unmanned and manned flight capability to the ISS, but they were contingent on a) demonstrating the technical capabilities to deliver and b) actually delivering. (Commercial Crew has become a gigantic money sink for Boeing, because unlike SpaceX the Starliner is many, many years late and the contract doesn't pay a cent more for delays/overruns.)

That assumes you are using Tokio. As another poster said not only does the ecosystem fragment along the async/non async lines but along the runtime lines. Async is an extremely leaky abstraction. You are in a way making my point for me. If you want to avoid painful refactoring you should basically always start out tokio-async and shim in non async code as needed because going the other way is going to hurt.

I think I have a similar reaction to you, but maybe with a bit of a different spin. For me, it's not so much that I want to see a literal side-by-side of something non-trivial (though that would be nice, too).

I personally want to see a non-marketing-bullshit statement of why other languages suck and why the author(s) feel that this new language doesn't (at least for some given domain or style). I obviously don't want the statement to be insulting or anything, but give me something real. Every new language claims to be "safe, ergonomic, performant, easy-to-learn, beautiful, scalable, cloud-integrated, AI-powered, "heart" open source, etc." I want a language that says, "Hey, other languages get X wrong and we don't. If you don't like it, that's great- go back to those other languages." where "X" could be error handling, performance, type systems, whatever.

I'd expect that for most SQL that is being inlined in code, you could get by with only supporting a subset of what is possible. I also have no doubt you could easily sabotage the effort by trying to support every dialect of sql in a smart way. :D

I'm also curious on the idea of having a string parsed at runtime and why that is necessarily better? Sounds like this is essentially dynamic typing? Where they are calling it branded, instead of dynamic? At first, I confess the idea sounded close to a tagged union. You have to have something in the data to indicate the tag; but I guess it is missing the union part? Definitely looks close to the idea of treating "objects" as maps.

Neat idea, thanks for sharing!
This is just bad journalism. The subject doesn't matter; you'd expect news reporters to put some effort into fact checking and generally telling the truth.
I take it you agreed with everything else I said about language etc?

> Why does that matter to you?

I grew up in a post-colonial society and know how painful it can be. I believe that there are structures in place in the society I live in that perpetuate systemic disadvantage to the cultures of others, and that they effectively do so in my name. I am aghast at the behaviour of Europe in the past and feel a sense of responsibility to understand and fight against modern day imperialism.

> You hold a very specific set of cultural values that you arrogantly imagine to hold the status of “universal human rights” which are fundamentally rooted in Christian humanism.

I would ask you not to call me arrogant. I explained the short comings of my language. I disagree with Westphalian defaultism.

> Why don’t you simply believe, as most cultures throughout history effectively believed, that might makes right and that the ability to conquer equals the right to govern?

Why would I? I have my own set of beliefs and my own cultural background. I don't believe the Spanish were right then because they had more might. I don't believe the Nazis were more right than the people they eradicated. I believe the modern Mexican state does inherent violence to the expression of the cultures that came before it.

Do you? It seems you're arguing that the cultures that were there weren't eradicated at all and still exists happily, while also telling me to accept that they didn't have enough might to be right and that's why they had to go.

> I never claimed that genuine pacifists didn’t exist, only that they are a fringe

We might have different definitions of "fringe" then. But the original reason why I commented to you was to take issue with your claim that "everyone agrees that certain cultures deserve to be eradicated."

LLMs (internally) don't have a pen and paper equivalent. Their output is the output of their neurons. Like if I was a head on a table with a screen on my forehead that printed out my thoughts as they appeared in my head. Ask (promt) me my favorite color and "green" would show up on the screen.

This is why prompting LLM's to show their steps works so well, it makes them work through the problem "in their head" more efficiently, rather than just spit out an answer.

However, you can give LLM's external access to tools. Ask GPT4 a particularly challenging math problem, and it will write a python script and run it to get a solution. That is an LLM's "pen and paper".

You need to know if you're opening an OS thread or a virtual thread if you intend to interact with the OS natively. For example, if you want to call a C library that expects to control and block its thread, you need to ensure you are running on a dedicated OS thread, otherwise you might block all available threads.

Interesting how quickly this was addressed and redacted vs. the fabricated rape propaganda that Israel has been spreading about Oct 7th. Just as with this case, a family member said that there was no rape. The difference is that The New York Times ran the Israel propaganda as fact.

The main obstacle is that the EU became deeply neoliberal in its thinking, judging state subsidies as worse than slave labour.

It's been not in Rome only since Vatican City came into existence in 1929. It's been in Rome every single year before then.

Saint John Lateran is also not in Italy [1] due to an extraterritoriality treaty in 1929, part of the same treaty that established Vatican City. By the way, that church is exactly 1700 years old this year.

I sincerely doubt that the New York Times as an institution is unaware of the fact that resurrection is a core tenet of Christianity. The BrietBlart-class right wing news media loves to make a big deal out of a hardly noticeable editorial mistake like the incorrect tense in an unimportant double-appositive clause.

Getting the difference between a Cathedral and a Basilica wrong is also not an example of "news media being anti-religion" because most religious people, including probably most American catholics, hardly know the difference since it's a piece of nomenclature that only matters if for some reason you've been charged with buying the right ceremonial hat for the guy in the back office.

Obviously they should correct it, because it's journalism's job to educate people, but I would stay far away from claiming it's any kind of institutional hostility to religion to make a typographical error or repeat a common misconception. Newspapers make these kinds of minor errors about all topics all the time: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/30/reader-center/corrections...
Also a basilica can be a cathedral and vice versa. Saint-Denis in Paris is both a basilica and cathedral.
