I wish there is a version of the element cards and table that features mainly the electronic structures. There is a separate orbitals table, but I'd rather have electron configurations in diagram form on the individual elements instead.

On a side note, the following website is an amazing visualization for all of the electron orbital shapes:

There was no "careful consideration" whatsoever.

What you did was the opposite of careful in fact:

Without ANY prior discussion with the maintainers of the existing Freenet project you came to the mailing list and DICTATED your decision of reusing the name "Freenet".

It's all publicly documented in the mailing list archive, see the thread "Important Announcement: Freenet naming change" of Ian Clarke (Ian Clarke is the user "sanity" I am replying to here):

https://www.mail-archive.com/devl@freenetproject.org/

When you dictated this, the team said they're against it - and you did it anyway.

Yes, you claimed you discussed it with the "board" of the project!

But the "board" only contains people who haven't talked to the team in over a decade. Of course they shrugged off your decision because the only way they are in contact with the project is through what you say, so you can shape their opinion however you please by selectively deciding what you tell them.

It was a very sad act of disgracing the effort of volunteer contributors.

And it isn't even in the best interest of your new project either, because it seems to haunt every discussion about it.

How about thinking about whether you made a mistake?

Mistakes happen and aren't bad. What's bad is never admitting one.
Loaning 18 year olds vast sums of money to invest is a bad idea?

> 2) housing costs and genera cost of living making police salaries unattractive,

A friend's neighbor in wine country is an early retired officer due to injury - their benefits pretty much match many tech workers.

Looks like in San Jose police salaries start at $111k and max out at $186k, BUT additionally SJ spent $58M on overtime. _Average_ overtime pay for officer, sgt, lt and captain were $38-68k and some earned as much $200k in overtime. So the salary is probably $150-$220k on average I'd assume. Not as bad as many think.

But it's possible I'm reading some of this wrong.

> All of these people hire IMO Gold Medallists etc, and after a point there are diminishing returns on intelligence, someone who won IMO gold is not that much better than someone who got silver in intelligence.

Being an IMO gold medallist doesn't make someone a good mathematician; there's a very big difference between the kind of math in the IMO and the kind of mathematical research a successful mathematician does. Jim Simons was an extremely successful mathematician, who won a Millenium Prize, and hired mathematicians and physicists with a strong publication history. There's a quote from someone at Rentech like: "We hire the A-grade mathematicians. Other firms hire the B or C-grade mathematicians, and don't even know the A-grade mathematicians exist". It's like, if a startup hired a bunch of fresh CS Olympiad Gold Medalists straight out of university, do you think they'd be able to compete with Google (especially Google of 10 years ago, when its search was still so dominant)?
Well yeah and this article didn’t talk about any of that.
> If your primary goal is thermal storage

The goal isn’t thermal storage the goal is to do something that needs extreme temperature.

You can’t melt steel at 500C, you can melt it in bricks at 1500C that then cool to 1400C. Use electricity to heat a brick to 1500C and you get 100C worth of energy storage. Use solar thermal to get to 1400C and you get zero energy storage.

That idea was long gone by the time they were selling Xenix, or years later bought Citrix's work to create RDP foundations.
I agree - I think it is pretty clear that there is a difference between programming languages and other languages. Figuring out the differences (instead of getting wrong ideas because they share some similarities) should lead to better words for different kinds of languages.

Maybe "Spoken languages" is a better term for languages like English? I find speaking computer code out loud just doesn't work except for some particular lines of code. "At dataclass class QueueItem magnitude colon int equals one..." is really not clear, if I have to communicate such code in words I wouldn't read it directly and instead describe it, e. g. "QueueItem is a dataclass with the attributes...").
Janet puts together “executables” like this as well, which is a pretty slick setup.
No, student loans don't "have problems". They are problems. It's not they were ill-conceived but that they were conceived at all. College education (as well as health care) is an example of an activity that doesn't benefit from being guided primarily by the market.
I'm not keen that this extends HTTP instead of building on existing standards. Subscriptions, for instance, could simply be server sent events. Baking braid into the protocol layer itself means it's harder to support it with existing libraries and code.

I'm also a little unsure of why "partial PUTs" are needed. "PUT an update as a patch" seems like exactly the use case for PATCH. Not that it super matters either way as far as compatibility is concerned, but it feels like it's contorting PUT to do what PATCH already accomplishes

>If RenTech is so good, they should have people that are a class above everyone else

What does this mean? All the firms you have posted do different things.

> Does someone claim that RenTech has more smart traders than Jane Street, Citadel etc?

Again this is not apples to apples. You know a bit, but not nearly enough. Citadel is actually two companies. Citadel Securities (Ken G's + managments prop capital, no external investors) have a tonne of strategies with extremely high sharpe ratios and returns (triple digits in some cases), but ultimately they are capacity limited. Jane Street too (prop capital) fits this mold. Citadel the hedge fund (external capital) has much lower sharpes, but a much higher capacity (65 or so billion) and looks roughly similar to RenTechs public funds (external capital).

The idea is you keep as much of the juicy stuff to yourself as you can justify, and then trade on the public image + free option on management / performance fees to grow an external asset management business and rake that in parallel.

I dont see any contradiction. In fact its the rational profit maximising thing to do.

Also being "smart" isnt even a half of the formula to running a successful markets/trading/investing business. Alot of it is culture (as the article points out) and other hard to replicate edges.

Hedge Funds by and large are not quantitative (and even when they proclaim to be, actually are not terribly sophisticated). What they really are is expert marketing / narrative machines enticing asset allocators to lend them AUM. Once you understand this, it begins to make sense that those who are truly quantatively gifted operate on another plane.
Awesome, thank you! Interesting. The first thing that came to my mind regarding the traffic light example is any problem that reduces to a SAT solver, I assume they are some that are clearly un-smoothable in polynomial time otherwise this will have interesting consequences...

Unfortunately complex solution we have accumulated over time is usually because business did not want to spend a bit more up front to come up with cleaner solution.

In the same way business is also very reluctant to spend time/money on cleaning up stuff.

I never ever had to make up complex stuff on my own. It always happens on its own.
The question is not whether emotions can cause people to be irrational. They can!

Not every case of irrational behavior is caused by emotions though. And when we are making an argument that people are acting against their own interests, it may help to ponder what makes them do so. All the more when we are claiming principles and values that should be accepted by everyone.

"If you don't believe me you are acting irrational / it's because you are emotionally attached" does not seem to be an attitude that gets closer to real causes in a discussion on how to best seek simplicity, but rather a recipe for avoiding discussion or a "thought-terminating cliche."

There must be a better argument for convincing people to let go of code / clean up etc.
Eh, it's hard to call it much of a "brain drain" when getting a research job is so difficult. There's no shortage of smart people interested in working in research for less than they'd make at any professional role, much less in the highest-paid industries.

PhD programs pay basically nothing, are selective, require candidates to jump through all sorts of hoops and still have no trouble filling out. Later on, becoming a professor—or some other sort of researcher with similar scope, autonomy and funding—is basically impossible, harder than making a bunch of money in quantitative finance. And yet each opening has hundreds of realistically qualified applicants. (Realistically qualified in the sense that they'd be able to do good research, anyway.)

It's kWh. Kilowatts multiplied by hours, not kilowatts per hour.

The analogy with units you are familiar with: watts=speed (e.g. knots), energy=distance (e.g. (nautical) miles).

So a kWh of energy is kind of like saying a knot-hour. Or 1 knot for 1 hour, which equals 1 nautical mile.

You can say "I have travelled a distance of 1 knot-hour or 1 knot for an hour". It doesn't make any sense to say "I have travelled a distance of 1 knot/hour or 1 knot per hour". Knot/hour would be a unit of acceleration not distance.

Ok that's probably clear as mud. I also feel like I should make a power units quiz website because so many people get this wrong.

I listened to a talk to that Jim Simons gave at San Francisco State University about a decade ago in which he mostly recounts his life and career. Towards the end when he was describing the state of the fully realized RenTech firm, he mentioned that they collect approximately 7TB of data per day, and that the #1 investment rule is that a human never, under any circumstances, intervenes with what the model (he said "the computer") decides.
I don’t see any validity to the alleged hypocrisy.

End users making that criticism are confusing the products with the reliability practices.

Not surprising at all, reading code is not like reading prose, not even doing math, is more like a puzzle building in the brain. There's a myriad things to mentally connect and substitute/translate in realtime in order to understand what the code is doing: each function, symbol, variable, statement, abstractions all the way down that makes reading code even more complex than writing it in the first place.

You can think of algebraic effects kind of like:

From callsite Foo, I call out to a function with a known name, Bar, with one or more parameters. The runtime (or sufficiently smart compiler) searches upwards in scope, for a handler Baz that provides the function with that name. Baz's Bar is then called, with both the provided parameters, and, crucially, a function that is "the rest of Foo."

So, an implementation of Exception with effects would ignore the resume, and look something like:

define_effect Exception {
// only one function provided by Exception, but could have more
throw(String)
}
define_handler printExceptions {
throw(msg, resume_func): { println(msg) }
}
define_func getPage(url) {
request = http.get(url)
if not request.ok { throw("Could not download") }
return page
}
// main entrypoint
withHandlers printExceptions {
page = getPage("https://cheese.com")
println(page.text)
}

But you could also write an "on error resume next" handler for Exception. Exceptions thrown with this handler would be equivalent to toss. (in real life you'd probably write a different effect, rather than re-using the Exception/throw effect):

define_handler onErrorResumeNext {
throw(msg, resume_func): {
println(msg)
// YOLO, call it anyways
withHandlers onErrorResumeNext {
resume_func()
}
}
}
withHandlers onErrorResumeNext {
page = getPage("https://cheese.com")
println(page.text) // Probably uninitialized - a better :P
}

Breaking away from the Exception example, two cool examples are:

// Stream - potentially infinite and/or asynchronous iterables
// basically just like python generators
define_effect Stream {
emit(item)
}
define_handler toList(accumulator) {
emit(item, resume_func): {
if item == nil {
return accumulator
} else {
accumulator.append(item)
withHandlers toList { resume_func() }
}
}
}
define_handler take(how_many) {
emit(item, resume_func) {
if how_many == 0 {
emit nil
} else {
withHandlers take(how_many-1) { resume_func() }
}
}
}
define_func fib_stream() {
a, b = 0, 1
loop {
emit a
a, b = b, a+b
}
}
// Usage
first_five = withHandlers toList {
withHandlers take(5) {
fib()
}
}
println("The first five fibonacci numbers are", first_five)

And this one I'm just going to lift from the Unison documentation [1]:

Each.toList do
a = Each.range 0 5
-- beginning of resume_func f_A
b = each [1, 2, 3]
-- beginning of resume_func f_B
guard (a < b)
-- beginning of resume_func f_C
(a, b)
-- yields
[(0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3)]

Note that this has the same semantics as:

results = []
for (a = 0; a < 5 ; a++) { // for each a, call f_A(a)
foreach b in [1, 2, 3] { // for each b, call f_B(b)
if not a<b { continue } // if a<b, call f_C(a, b)
results.append((a, b))
}
}

And it is possible to do this, because these resumable functions can be resumed an arbitrary number of times - it's up to the handler. They also can pass parameters back to the resume_func.

Exceptions/hurl = exactly 0 resumptions
toss = exactly 1 resumption
effects = 0..many resumptions

It's not that younger borrowers aren't price sensitive at all. Cost tends to be the first deciding factor, unless the particular student is considering prestige of institution.

This is why fewer students are attending small, private, expensive colleges.

The dynamic is not that simple. There are a multitude of reasons behind the increase in the cost of postsecondary education. Waving it away as young people just being young people is sort of silly.
