Clojure uses immutable lists, vectors, hashmaps, and sets. Also it has syntax sugar such as [1 2 3] for vectors, {"Jan" 31 "Feb" 28} for hashmaps, #{1 2 3} for sets, and much more. Also it has multimethods which are even more generic than CLOS.
Is there any reason to use SML instead of OCaml in 2024?

Perplexity is an information theory term, not a brand:

Perplexity of a probability model -- A model of an unknown probability distribution p, may be proposed based on a training sample that was drawn from p. Given a proposed probability model q, one may evaluate q by asking how well it predicts a separate test sample x1, x2, ..., xN also drawn from p.

More likely, it goes back to the origins of our 7-day week. The ancient Romans had an 8-day week. Our 7-day week comes from the Jewish calendar, where supposedly the world was created on a Sunday, and the final day of the week is the Jewish Shabbat on Saturday. (Though, we didn't keep the Jewish calendar's notion that days start at sunset.)

I suspect that if you go back far enough, most of Europe considered the week to begin on Sunday, but I have no idea how far you'd have to go back.

Nobody was talking about "being proud of purchasing something". What you replied to was an allusion to some people being proud of refusing to buy an Apple product.

The phrase "swallow your pride" is literally a call to abandon pride as a motivating factor.

It's still the same principle even in games. If you are trying to explain where forces come from and how resolution works, you need to ground it in something. Otherwise you are just adding extra assumptions onto assumptions.

Thanks for the link. When I started learning Go modules that spec was not available (or it was a lot smaller). After a brief look I feel the Go modules spec is longer and more complex than the (original) Go language spec which is quite ironic :-D. I still like Go although it's sad seeing it straying from the 'one true' path of simplicity.
> But then some good angel puts it into the head of a Boston preacher to read your book and take it to the Boston police, and the police go and arrest a bookclerk for selling your book, which is obscene. Instantly the press agencies flash the name of your book to every town and village in the United States, and your publishers get orders by telegraph from Podunk and Kalamazoo.

This reminds me of Harrison Butker’s commencement speech at Benedictine College a couple of weeks ago.

This was a speech by a fairly obscure guy (he is a place kicker) at a fairly obscure college. But because he said something our culture considers obscene, his speech was on the front page of all the news sites and talked about on Twitter.

Normally, maybe a few hundred people would have heard his speech. Now likely millions of people have at least heard a portion of his speech.

We all need to do more to promote linux.

I find it a mammoth task to convince windows users that linux is better in so many ways.

I am the only long time user of linux at my art group.

I have installed Mx-linux for two of the elderly people in the group but this is only because they were still using old laptops with windows and the old machines were incredibly slow.

After a few weeks of getting used to the new package names (vlc, firefox, libreoffice, thunderbird etc), learning how to update and learning how to connect to wifi they were full of praise about linux.

They loved the simplicity of linux, simply clicking the start menu to find a package compared to windows overly complex way to find things. The simplicity of plugging in their external drive to look through all their family photos.

I do install the addons in firefox, remove google search, add their favourite shortcuts to the firefox home page, put what packages they use most often in the panel. I run through the themes and icon preferences so the desktop looks exactly how they want it.

I guide them through the update process, two clcks and a password.

I uninstall any packages that they are unlikely to ever use, pidgin hexchat etc.

They liked that fact that they did not have to wait hours to install updates, nor wait hours while the anti-virus scan finished and all the other unnecessary complexities built into windows.

have you ever watched an elderly person navigate through windows trying to find a photo of their grand children that they were sure they saved in the pictures folder.

How wonderful:

press the start button on your laptop

wait 90 seconds for it to load

click on firefox, click on one of the shortcuts and read your favourite newspaper without any intrusions.

Click on thunderbird and read all your email.

Job done!
In reading this article, I noticed that there is a distinct lack of a specific goal beyond simply to build agent-based models.

This reflects the state of AI research today: it has crossed the state of post-usefulness. In other words, new computing has crossed the threshold of being useful (as in genuinely improving human lives ON AVERAGE) and is now about creative perceived value so that we can spend money on it, merely to develop it further. It's only powered by immediate, short-term gains whose positive value to society don't last when compared to the long term societal detriment.

If we were smart, we would destroy this technology and cease research on it because it will only lead to human beings not having much of a role in keeping society going, so that in turn we will become too independent from each other to care about each other. But the addictiveness of using AI will likely make those who develop this technology blind to this simple fact...

We are like children playing with fire at a gas station.
> Is he implying that using vendor packages is more clear that using version tags in a go.mod? That would certainly be the first I’ve ever heard of someone preferring dependency management via vendor packages over a go.mod & ‘go get’.

Isn't it the case that Debian builds of go 'packages' (i.e. making a .deb package') are using the pre modules mechanisms? If so, then they would seem to prefer it for some reason.

Clients could sync a bloom filter of revoked certificates. If the client encounters a certificate that matches the boom filter it would still need to check some online service to see whether the certificate was revokes or was a false positive. But for most unrevoked certificates the bloom filter would already tell you that it isn't revoked. Another benefit over a pure online service is that when you get a new bloom filter you check all known certificates against it to mark known certificates for rechecking (in case they got revoked since you last visited that page)

The article mentions hydration (a process to reduce the penalty of first access of a data block). This is done by essentially reading the entire EBS volume with the tool like fio or dd. The time it takes to complete this process is relative to the amount of dirty blocks. Therefore, it will take twice as long to hydrate 20 GB of data compared to 10 GB.

That's not how it works.

Independent auditors check to see if a company's accounting is following GAAP accounting standards (so that a statement can be put in the SEC filings). They don't comb through each payment in detail (corporations can have millions of them each year). And if they find things, they tell the company to fix it or report any deviation from GAAP standards.

But much of it is dependent on good faith of the company along with some spot checking to see if their accounting processes line up with what they said they do.

And plenty of companies who have been found to commit fraud have gotten the "thumbs up" during their "independent audit". It gives you a sense as to how cursory their audits are.
I would personally avoid namecheap if you're not based in the US. Back at the beginning of 2022 they cut off all clients from Russia without prior notice, giving everybody a couple of weeks to migrate to another registrar and/or hoster. This created quite a problem and added more work for oppositional news outlets and sites like ovdinfo that were helping people who got locked up for protesting against what was happening. Both groups had enough problems already. Fuck them; once bitten, twice shy.

Can it be argued that they copied "Her" voice, not Scarlett Johansson’s voice?

I mean, yes, Scarlett Johansson is the actress, but she is not playing herself in the movie. I didn't watch the movie, but I guess she matched her voice to the character, an AI called Samantha, who is not Scarlett Johansson.

It is not like the "Midler vs Ford" case that is often referred to. Where Ford hired a singer to sound like Midler, but that's Midler singing as Midler, not acting a fictional character.

Maybe Warner Bros could complain, they are the owners of the character OpenAI imitates. In the same way that Disney (rather than Scarlett Johansson) would complain if someone used the Black Widow character without permission.

> - PO suddenly wants to do something yesterday - they just give their task top priority so you're forced to do it

That's fine. It's their role to prioritise features. BUT within the framework this should apply to the planning for the next sprint as the point is not to interrupt the current sprint unless there is an overwhelming reason.

> PO want the button to have that exact shade of teal - they won't accept the story until it looks exactly like what they wanted

Nothing wrong with that. It comes down to explicit and clear feature specification.

> You want to clean up the messy code you're touching - just make a story for it and watch the PO rank it to the bottom (essentially meaning it'll never get fixed) - since it has no 'business value'

This situation applies whatever the framework you're using. You need to sell what you want to do by explaining the value, or you do it step by step under the radar. There should also be someone with clear authority over the codebase who can make these decisions and sell them/negotiate with project management. Again this is not Scrum, but software development in general...

I hated my 2021 Edge+ with such a burning fury that I'm typing this on my old OnePlus 9 (with LineageOS, which I couldn't do on the moto). I can't remember all the reasons (there were many), but stability was one of them.

The OnePlus 9 is supposedly the last good phone from them, so I'm thinking of using my wife's Pixel with a re-locked ROM once she upgrades. Pixels, for all their flaws, have historically been the most consistent for me (apart from OnePlus).

I am not sure you are aware how many years of development time are necessary to reverse engineer a driver on mobile platforms.

For me that is where I draw the line, without drivers I won't touch it. I've wasted enough of my free time trying to get Cyanogen run on fucked up proprietary platforms.

If the drivers aren't open source, the company won't give a damn about the platform anyways because they already did not comply with the law of the license of the tools they stole (read as: linux kernel license) already.
