When something needed does not evolve, it helps to understand why, and address that.

Yes, visualizing the expected programming model helps with programming. Tech leads should convey the programming model somehow, and graphics can help. The highest-traffic use is onboarding people, but because that's rare (we hope), there's little investment in optimizing that, and it doesn't happen.

Yes, it would be nice to have live views of the system, so we can see if the actual system is what we expect. That's hard enough that it's only done for high-traffic operational issues (typically after they bite, hard).

But that hints at the real issue.

The question is really about decision support for code/design issues, graphical or otherwise.

And like all decision-support questions with non-trivial domains, what's needed depends primarily on what you're trying to decide, not the domain. So there's no one or even few diagrams that will support all decisions for a given code base or operational behavior. Performance tools show hot spots, not logic errors. However, knowing it's about decisions, you can start to enumerate stakeholders and use-cases, looking for common or critical features as the high-value targets.

Yes, the domain makes for different results, e.g., for react+js vs elixir. (I'd argue that the bulk of the benefit from type/memory-safe languages and devops comes from the issue they foreclose -- the degrees of freedom and risk they remove.)

But if you're trying to track some programming model, you end up needing recognizable/literate code, i.e., metadata for whatever your time slice (design, prototype, analysis, compile, runtime, first-failure data capture, historical trends...). And since the various levels of compilation/assembly often efface the original model, that problem becomes not only system-wide but stack-deep. It sounds intractable in the general case.

In my experience one quick strategy provides most of the benefit: an easy stakeholder-driven interface for experiments.

That means things like a REPL for language, code navigation, a generated REST API web page, tests, Go's quick performance test wrapper, a full-text search of the live model, span/tracing displays, etc. Reducing the cost of asking questions is the best thing you can do to support decisions of whatever type.

When people have different perspectives on the proverbial elephant, I wouldn't start by arguing how to draw different models but by adding more people/perspectives. Once the sources stabilize, then you can integrate them, so you'll want to make sure there are common touchpoints in each that make integration possible.
Even by Bay Area standards, the last decade and a half has been beyond obscene by the amount and level of douchebags created and their most asinine takes and sins.

As time passes like in everything we tend to forget the bad things and imagine the past with rose colored glasses when the borrowing rates were essentially zero.

You might both still be interested in the tiny (EDIT: 27 lines! https://github.com/c-blake/batch/blob/9c7e07670ef1fd0e98687c...) little "virtual machine interpreter" I linked to. Per-interpreter loop overheads are below 100 CPU cycles on several CPUs on a generation of hardware similar to what https://www.usenix.org/system/files/atc20-gu.pdf was mentioning as 700-1000 cycles for microkernel IPC latencies. I'm not sure if the idea coheres with io_uring style dispatch (especially the emphasized polling mode), though.. maybe with some work.

The reason I mentioned it after elcritch's RTOS mention is partly that the way the little interpreter has no backward jumps means there are no loops and so no halting problem issue. So, you can still embed conditional error handling logic in system call batches, but the overall call is bounded by the time of its component calls (that is, if they are bounded, anyway...). That might be a useful property for higher levels of the system to guarantee meeting a real-time budget in many situations with very low complexity. I'm not sure if any of this is original with that github repo, but I haven't seen it before in this specific context.

Perhaps the most complete example of "adding a new sys_batch-based syscall" is https://github.com/c-blake/batch/blob/master/examples/total.... which adds a `mapall` that can mmap a whole file or fail trying (at a couple points) for the purpose of just totaling the bytes as an example calculation.
> ridiculous unit to choose.

...but... that's like, uh, how projects like this actually get financed. On a per customer (which I know is distinct from per person) and per monthly bill basis, capitalized and amortized. Why would I use a lump sum unit when that's not how it's going to be paid for, or a per distance unit when pieces of dirt don't pay money, people do?

Pal, this is just how basic corporate accounting works, something you might like to look into if you are interested in opining on what units are best for comparing capital costs.
We have entire industries dedicated to creating demand for things that would otherwise not be demanded (advertising), and enabling people to buy things they cannot afford (debt). I'd expect both of these industries to balloon during the late stages as people get further squeezed out of voluntarily participating in the economy.

Considering the groups looking to close the loophole, I can believe it was unintentional. Especially since this started as a project from Mitch McConnell to support his home industry. The end of the article notes how Florida is continuing to fight marijuana.

Seems like the vast majority of infrastructure built before some certain point in the mid-to-late 20th century was cheap and easily worth it (and we built a TON of it all the time) and it's only since then there's been increasing issues. I don't think it's about infrastructure, there's something else causing the cost overruns and we should figure out what it is.

Its really a physics thing at a certain point. Smartphones are always worse than their contemporary purpose built camera counterparts because smartphone cameras have to be so small. Meanwhile a pro camera could weigh 10 pounds with a lens the size of your thigh. We simply don't know enough about optics to take that package and put it into a smartphone without compromising quality in some way.

A message queue has one (1) job: to keep track of the already-processed message pointer.

Which Kafka doesn't do. So you either store everything forever (lol) or you write some sort of broken half-baked solution for a message queue on top of Kafka. (Broken and half-baked because you're not going to achieve fault tolerance or consistency without re-implementing the storage layer.)

Now, you're just gonna say that "Kafka isn't a message queue". Well, I don't need half of a solution that isn't even a message queue. Nobody needs that.

> Commanding the armed forces is very much in his scope.

Commanding the armed forces against other branches of the United States government is very much not in the scope of his office.

"Commanding the armed forces" is not the unlimited blank check that you seem to think it is. Since Vietnam, it's drilled into the heads of the military not to accept an illegal order. Inherent in that is the idea that some orders are illegal. They are not legitimate things to ask the military to do. Well, if they're not legitimate to ask, then they can't be within the scope of the commander-in-chief's legitimate authority. And I'm pretty sure that killing Supreme Court justices would be on the "not legitimate" side of the line.

That can be solved, too. Some other (now deleted?) comment mentioned the inevitability of killbots, which will have to be created and deployed for this dystopia to stick. The elite living in Elysium will need a controllable, automate-able, way to keep the underclass in line, one that doesn't involve less-reliable human enforcers.
Yes and that contradiction is already present in my premise which is the point. Pi, if an infinite stream of digits and with the prime characteristic it is normal/random, will, at some point include itself, by chance. Unless, not random...

This applies to every normal, "irrational" number, the name with which I massively agree, because the only way they can be not purely random suggests they are compressible further and so they have to be purely random, and thus... can't be.

It is a completely irrational concept, thinking rationally.
The land grant thing is sort of weird though. Hard to think of it as that big of a subsidy when the land was so so low in value prior to the railroad and the railroad's construction is what made the adjoining land so valuable. I wouldn't call it a subsidy at all -- but rather an investment that turned nearly worthless land into much more valuable land and attracted much more investment dwarfing the original "subsidy"

additional code can replace more complex existing or future code, thus can reduce complexity
The suckless.org initiative is a great example of this. Boasting about how certain software inherently sucks less because it has minimalist C code, rather than having defense-in-depth against security holes.

Newsflash, a few decades ago the majority of software was the minimalist C that they claim sucks less. There are many reasons we moved on from that world, security firmly among them.

Obviously, it was just an example to illustrate what a non-periodic number could look like that doesn’t contain all possible permutations. If the number never contains the digit 3 in base 10 it will also not contain all possible permutations in all other bases.

One major difference I’ve seen in shader graph type tools is that they are stateless, or almost stateless. The output of the shader graph is a function of time and some fixed parameters, and there are rarely feedback loops. When there are feedback loops in shader graphs, they are represented explicitly via nodes like TouchDesigner’s feedback TOP.

This way of expressing computations lends itself well for shader programming where the concurrency of the GPU discourages manipulation of arbitrary state.

In contrast, business logic programmed for the CPU is generally more stateful and full of implicit feedback loops. IMO these types of computations are not expressed well using node based visual programming tools because the state manipulation is more complex.

>> so how would you define the previous memetic position that led to children as a regular part of life?

>> Further, what is the new memetic position on children that is being implemented?

I'm not who you were asking, but I think "having children" may be an activity that is transitioning from being a larger part non-memetic to a larger part memetic, due to birth control technology. So the previous "non-memetic" position was if you like to have sex, that sex will lead to kids eventually. Now with birth control, you can like to have sex and not have kids, unless personal psychology and/or memes drive you to have kids.

> just looking at this threads, nearly every comment is materialist in nature: opportunity costs for leaving the workforce, social economic implications, ect. Conspicuously absent is discussion of experiential and emotional implications.

Your observation might be true, but I wouldn't really use a HN thread as support. This community, and the wider software engineer/technology community of which it is part, has a very skewed perspective and misunderstands quite a lot due to its poorly acknowledged limitations and biases. What I quoted from you hits one of those directly: a preference for and comfort with the mechanical over the emotional and interpersonal.

Depending on your sector, I would argue that in IT, lives can be at stake. Imagine the IT department of a hospital, a power company, or other vital infrastructure.

Most mitigation tends to be in the form of backup and disaster recovery plans, which, when well implemented and executed, can restore everything in less than a day.

The issue is that some threats can lurk for weeks, if not months, before triggering. In a car analogy, it would be like someone sabotaging your airbag and cutting your seatbelt without you knowing. Preventing a crash in the first place is far more effective and way less traumatic. Even if the mitigation strategy allows you to survive the crash, the car could still be totaled. The reputation loss you suffer from having your database breached can be catastrophic.

We've tackled similar high CPC challenges in competitive markets for other SaaS businesses. Achieving a positive ROAS is entirely possible with the right strategy and execution. One effective approach is to focus on carefully selected long-tail keywords and niche segments where CPC is lower. Additionally, optimizing dedicated landing pages for higher conversion rates can make a significant impact. Developing the right funnel and working on lead nurturing is crucial as well. Finally, leveraging data analytics to identify and target high-value customer segments can ensure the lifetime value justifies the ad spend.
I could have bogged the essay down with qualifiers to address all the potential straw man objections, but that didn't seem productive. It's easy to take an uncharitable view on this, but I do explain more about GRNs later in the essay.

The claim is that there are no funds that can make a convincing argument that they will beat S&P.

When you say funds did "exactly that", the "exactly that" you're talking about is not the thing OP is asking for.

Taking on 90% of upside and 100% of downside is one way to make a convincing argument, and nobody does it.

Let's make the dice analogy. You can't make a convincing argument that you will roll a 5, even though people roll 5 all the time. Talking about people that rolled 5 in the past is proving entirely the wrong point.

>arctan is one of those functions which is not always correctly rounded due to the tablemaker's dilemma.

But then it doesn't conform to the standard. It is pretty unambiguous on that point.

From Section 9.2:

"A conforming operation shall return results correctly rounded for the applicable rounding direction for all operands in its domain."

I do not see how two conforming implementations can differ in results.

>Using FMA vs separate multiplication and addition leads to different results in real programs, even though both methods are individually deterministic.

Obviously. I never claimed that the arithmetic was invariant under transformations which change floating point operations, but are equivalent for real numbers. That would be ridiculous.

Is there actually an example of two programs performing identical operations under the same environment that give different results where both implementations conform to the standard?

>Even beyond transcendental functions, 754 isn't deterministic in practice because implementations have choices that aren't always equivalent.

Could you give an example? Where are implementations allowed to differ? And are these cases relevant, in the sense that identical operations lead to differing results? Or do they just relate to error handling and signaling.
Nim is in part less popular because its BDFL,
- isn't concerned with Nim becoming a mega popular language; it's enough that it has a successful user base to justify the effort/jobs developing it
- believes that marketing is not required as people will choose Nim based off its superior features alone. (This is in large part true up-to people learning it exists, which is where marketing is valuable)

There are genuine shortcomings, of course. Every language has them.

It is something of a unicorn though. It's so pleasant to use at many levels of the stack from bare-metal to applications. People even use it for games.
