As expected, Biden and Trump as presidential candidates and former POTUS are better known. Messi has way better recognition than Lebron worldwide owing to soccer's broader appeal and popularity.

Search interest obviously isn't a direct correlation to name recognition - you can have recognition and no one is interested in you - but I'd say it's far more likely that people know who Lionel Messi is considering he won the World Cup in a spectacular fashion and 1.5B people watched the world cup live & I'm sure more than that many people heard about it.
> Just like synchronization, Go scales poorly with project complexity and aspirations.

I've had the opposite experience. Compared to C++ codebases I've worked on, Golang has way less "complexity per feature".

> It is unable to efficiently take advantage of beefy many-core nodes

Go had the best built-in concurrency primitives of any language I've used (python, java, rust, c++/c).

> its GC is bad at achieving high throughput

Isn't this just the nature of using GC? You give up control over when some work gets done, of course it affects throughput.

> incapable of providing zero-cost abstractions

ime, bad abstractions slow systems of any appreciable complexity a lot more than the cost of the abstractions in latency.

> non-zero cost abstractions end up being more expensive than in other compiled languages.

Do you consider Java a compiled language? I mean, of course its slower than rust and c/++, as it has a more complex/abstracted runtime. But last I heard, it was on par, or even faster, than java.

No, it's not. Did you really think baseball was the most popular sport in America? I was talking about where I live (Taiwan).

Also, it's a safe bet that more than 1.5 billion people just between India and China have heard of Zuck given how often he's been front page media in both countries.

Out of those three, Messi is one of the most famous players in the most popular sport in the world (that Americans don't really follow, for some reason). Lebron does something that's popular in the US, but I didn't really recognize him. Zuckerberg is well known among those who follow business news, but he has little visibility in everyday life.

If you restrict the audience to Americans, we can use this YouGov survey: https://today.yougov.com/ratings/international/fame/all-time... The most famous millennial is currently either Beyonce (#6, a borderline millennial) or Taylor Swift (#14). Zuckerberg is well behind them at #99.

The food available to the microbiome varies during the day, according to the feeding schedule and to the kind of food that is provided to the mice.

Because the generation time of the bacteria is very short, e.g. fractions of an hour, it is normal for the quantities of each kind of bacteria to vary during the day, following the fluctuations in the concentrations of various nutrients in the intestine.

For a constant microbiome composition, one would have to feed the mice with exactly the same food at the same hours each day, and sample the microbiome also at fixed hours that are the same each day.

> This is something that Adobe Illustrator could do 20 years ago

... and Metafont could do over 40 years ago. Part of the problem might be that finding a good class of curves closed under convolution (that’s the general term for this kind of thing) remains a research problem, thus not really something you see in open formats (including e.g. PostScript—part of why converting Metafont to more conventional vector formats is difficult). But it’s the first time I (an amateur) am seeing Levien’s thesis mentioned in this context, so I’ll have to check that out.

Japan has these. There’s local community centers basically everywhere which can be used as a meeting space for a token fee (I think it was like $5/hour last I checked). My local center in the middle of Tokyo is just three floors of rooms that people can use for whatever they need.

2nd reply, another perspective, perhaps summarizing. I think you're saying essentially a raising tide lifts all boats, and lifted boats reduces essentially all problems. To some extent that is true, on average, poor people are better off than poor people 70 years ago. At the same time, the "great american middle class" is a lot smaller & is shrinking. Also, at the same time, social mobility in the US is falling. Wealth is now a greater predictor of success than is ability, education or anything else [1][2]. To that extent, there is now less social mobility in the US than in Europe [2].

Also to consider, comparing 70 years ago to today hides that there was a ton of progress from the 1950s to 1970s, but since then the trajectory has changed [2].

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socioeconomic_mobility_in_the_...

"The correlation between parents' income and their children's income in the United States is estimated between .4 and .6"

"Several studies have found that inter-generational mobility is lower in the US than in some European countries, in particular the Nordic countries.[4][5] The US ranked 27th in the world in the 2020 Global Social Mobility Index.[6]"

"Social mobility in the US has either remained unchanged or decreased since the 1970s."

The refund makes me wonder, wouldn't it be cheaper for Amazon to discontinue support for the devices but give people the resources to keep using them and running them on their own? There's obviously some other calculus here, it's worth it to them to pay back every penny they took in, because maintaining control of the "product" for some future endeavor is Kore profitable.

I get what you, and other commenters here, are going for. But getting speakers is still hard in the first place. And as I mentioned in the post, I see high quality talks as 100% marketing. They're just marketing for your engineering team, rather than for your product. I think we'd have trouble attracting the high quality speakers we do today if we set restrictions some commenters have suggested such as attending the meetup multiple times, not mentioning the company, etc.

We're pretty picky with speakers we invite but also quite flexible once we've invited someone we think will be good. I think it's worked out pretty well for the audience and speakers. At least, that is what they all tell me.

Ok, but can we get it to recognize and address false positives? Like what if my cat is intentionally making keyboard inputs?
"Architects of society" seems to be a running theme the last 100-200 years. And there is indeed a great deal of hubris in that idea.

Thiel is a libertarian (i.e., effectively a classical liberal and then some), and libertarians are individualists who view society as some kind of thing we enter into almost grudgingly and purely for the sake of private self-interest. The notion of the common good is either offensive to them, or understood as something ceded to "society" by individuals with little enthusiasm, but for the sake of some kind of utility or unfortunate necessity. For a libertarian to "architect society" can only mean ordering it in a manner that conforms to libertarian notions, and in practice, this means rule of the powerful for their own self-interest. This is the definition of tyranny.

The Soviets, too, wanted to "architect" societies, to remake Man and society in their own image, gladly throwing millions under the crushing wheels of the socialist machine.

The similarities between the two are not an accident, because they're not true opposites.

Are you in the US? Just curious if there's regional variation in e.g. supermarket labeling.

Because if you look at nationwide labeling, cilantro seems to refer exclusively to the leaves, and coriander exclusively to the seeds, and I've never seen anything different within the US:

https://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=cilantro

https://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=coriander

https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/search?text=cilantro

https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/search?text=coriander

And if both terms can be used for the leaves, is there anywhere that calls the ground seeds cilantro?
Having worked at such a place in college, this is also complicated by the fact that they don't simply take a check and deposit it like the sort of people who cling to checks expect.

The check gets scanned, ID collected, and it's reported to a third party financial institution that basically evaluates the customer's creditworthiness and issues credit to the store to cover the check. (If the check were to bounce, it would be their problem to deal with.)

This also means checks can be instantly denied by that third party, if their system is not confident enough that the collection will be trouble free. Which is...not uncommon for the sort of people who want to write a check to buy an appliance, rather than using a credit card. Which then involves belligerence when it's denied.
Even when a company offers meeting space, they can be overbearing about it.

I was involved a tiny bit in reviving a local interest group of high-powered programmers. Another person, who did all the actual hard work, of meeting organizing, got meeting space at a Big Tech company...

Unfortunately, as a Big Tech (and in the surveillance capialism space), it was complete with signing in with security in the lobby, getting a guest badge for the visit, going to whatever presumable compartmentalized area, and the company presumably doing all the snooping things they could think of...

Every time I considered going to a meeting, the idea of going out of my way to be Big Tech's b-word, before I even got into the meeting, was a turn-off.

I like your community centers idea. The public libraries here have some meeting rooms. Sometimes someone at a university department can open up meeting space to the public.

Someone else mentioned makerspaces, which is an idea I hadn't thought of, but maybe complementary to makerspaces, as well as great marketing for adding members.

"Set 50 instead of 4 to replica count" and "continues scaling when you give it something that isn't anemic 2CPU 512Mi container" are two very different things :)

In either case, seeing undeserved praise of Go is the most expected outcome from the audience that used to praise e.g. Elizabeth Holmes.

Please do look at the way its internals work, and compare the compiler output (and I mean not the useless ASM that Go's disasm outputs but what is shown by e.g. Ghidra) and primitive overhead with Rust, C# and even Kotlin.

Also hearing about Go's concurrent primitives makes me laugh. CSP is a 40 years old concept, and Go bolted itself to it, while also learning nothing from other languages to be modern, therefore can't be effectively used for more advanced concurrency scenarios nor enables you to remove overhead when needed.

Try writing a concurrent data structure in Go that performs as fast as in C++. C# let's you do that. Go - not so much.

It almost looks like the culture is the competitive advantage, and everything else follows. No market and technology synergies are important enough to risk the destruction of that culture in a merger. (Alternatively, all the upper and middle management of the acquired company has to be honorably discharged, and the remaining employees are to spend several months training in the new culture. A pretty hard sell for most mergers.)
You can get into that type of lock congestion trouble in any language. It's an algorithm problem, not a language problem.

I discovered last year that Wine has terrible internal lock problems inside its user-side storage allocator. That's in C. If you have enough threads calling "realloc", the allocator goes into futex congestion collapse and performance drops by two orders of magnitude. My graphics program went from 60 FPS to 0.5 FPS. They optimized too hard for the no-congestion case.

This is a Wine-only problem; Microsoft's own code doesn't have this problem.

I've had lock congestion problems in Rust. Sometimes you need a fair mutex, or something gets frozen out. Both fair and non-fair mutexes are available; see the "parking_lot" crate.

There's a place inside WGPU that has a lock congestion problem in one of three locks, and I'm going to have to add more profiling to someone else's code to find that. I can see the problem with Tracy, but need to add more profiling scopes to narrow it down.

But that is high-performance graphics stuff, where microseconds count. Sending spam (OK, bulk marketing emails) doesn't need to be that tightly coupled. Mailing list removal runs on a timescale of days, not milliseconds. What else in that space has to be tightly interlocked?

Why would you need something that complex in a fuel cell? You don't need high selectivity.

AFAIK, ceramic membranes work perfectly well as exchange elements for hydrocarbon-oxygen fuel cells; but I have no idea why they aren't being used everywhere. It used to be mostly due to longevity issues, but I haven't kept up.

Also, Faradaic efficiency is not the total efficiency. For a fuel cell it would automatically be close to 100% anyway, while total efficiency is normally much lower.

The US intelligence agencies have dedicated data centers of domestic and foreign surveillance [1]. Of course they are "embracing" it. Plus, people are very willing to "train" them by feeding it data.

If it does happen then the old in industry won’t be replaced by the young with a different perspective just like always as no one will be working anymore. In this scenario the opinions of the young matter as much as the old because both are equally irrelevant to industry and society at large.

Jamestown is notable because of the deprivation, not because every settlement was a Jamestown. Certainly, we understand the variables and an identical journey on earth would be dramatically safer (though still not without peril).

Even still, these explorers were able to harvest resources during their journey as well as immediately upon arrival at the destination.

With Mars, there’s nothing there. No fertile soil. No potable water. No known life. It’s an actively hostile environment. Colonizers to Mars will be exceptionally reliant on carrying the totality of their survival resources. Sure - if we spend the next centuries terraforming Mars robotically (or some other scheme), we could change the math on this - but I have a hard time swallowing the argument that crossing to, and colonizing, Mars is anything but orders of difficulty harder than the feats of those explorers. I’m a nerd and want to believe, but it’s fanatical thinking for… a long time.
