Yes and no...MOND's core proposition is that dark matter doesn't exist, and instead modified gravity does.

Whereas you can have many proposals for what dark matter is, provided it is capable of being almost entirely only gravitationally interacting, and there's enough of it.

MOND has had the problem that depending which MOND you're talking about, it still doesn't explain all the dark matter (so now you're pulling free parameters on top of free parameters).
I've similar experiences about Scrum. In the worst case there's one or more developers, usually junior, in the team that are very eager to improve processes. Eventually it's tenth time you are forced to discuss what's the optimal way to define story points.
This is so slick. It's amazing to see how well git works when used in the way Linus intended. It seems to be missing some fundamentals (readme.md, signing, ssh key rotation), which I might try contributing to get my feet with :)
It is so that you can use external libraries with your preferred style without having to convert.

It is a pretty amazing feature. Your problem is just imaginary. A consistent case style should always be enforced regardless if you have a case insensitive language or not. There is no real world case where you would want is_land and isLand to exists both in your code and be separate variables.
There are many things that people disagree on that seem obvious to both parties. However, there are also many more things people agree on that seem obvious to both parties. Time after time, new doubt is injected by Fuzzers, and that is what we need to fight. Each year there’s something new to be uncertain of that we were certain of before.
That doesn't really invalidate my point though: the extra capital gives the option, and the fees.
Yeah gotcha - I'm familiar with the colored functions argument. I see the conceptual downside, but it doesn't seem that bad in practice. I have a pre-commit hook that shouts at me if I call an async function synchronously.
times sadly changed very quickly in 18 months. Recruiters are flooded with applicants, they won't respond as often to a cold message. I would indeed say it worked maybe 7/10 times for me in 2019-2023, but this year it's been barely 2/10.

Some are just "ghost jobs", some are on a hiring freeze but want to look like they are growing. Some may simply be apathetic. I had recruiters contact me, schedule a call, and then ghost the call and any follow ups. That's unheard of for me in 2023 or before.
you are right. Though with the partition table in there so u can support a 'modern' AHCI controller and SATA it will shrink your bootloader further and require some optimizations.... - you don't have 510 bytes for the loader in this case but a bunch less. if you want to populate the table with valid entries then it becomes even more tricky (can't use any bytes inside of the table...)

If you want to use an actual modern harddisk, you might want to look at GPT rather than MBR, as it won't overflow partition table stuff and allow for very large disks (2TB+?) (uefi gets rid of all of that and allows u to use a proper disk layout without any additional difficulty!)

there is no need for protected mode if you want to launch into 64-bit mode. I would say though, DO NOT USE BIOS. It's a piece of rubbish which will just make things more tedious.

Using UEFI via EDK2 or GnuEFI is the way to go, and both methods are really easy and a blessin to implement. It's a bit hard to get around the initial idea of UEFI, but if you view some other people's example projects on github you can find easily how it works. EDK is a bit shitty with .dec and .inf files etc, and GnuEFI is just reading headerfiles to discover what is there, but it's inifnitely better than the unspecified bios interface. You can litterally not even assume the int 0x10, int 0x15 etc. are there properly if you start running on real hardware. On UEFI systems, you can assume a stable minimal basis, and easily enumerate other things (hardware/platform capabilities etc.) in a sane way.

Also UEFI sets up the platform a long way already, so you don't need to do any initialization for your os-loader component (stage2 or 3). You can simply start loading your os right away. or drivers or whatever kind of design your kernel is. get memory map, get some access to efi file system, start pulling in and loading stuff.

If you were in the UK, you might have seen "Buckfast Tonic Wine" [1]

It's a fortified wine rather than a beer - but it's 15% ABV with 30mg/100ml caffeine, and comes in standard-sized wine bottles.

Apparently, Buckfast accounts for 0.5% of alcohol sales in Scotland but it's responsible for 80% of public intoxication incidents.

Excel could do this so much better though (and I think excel is the best candidate for visual scripting overhaul). The cell could have two parts; top parts is the function signature (other cells could reference by signature, or by cell number), bottom part is the code. Each cell is a function.

People put huge unreadable basic functions in that tiny box. It's such an obvious pain point, surprised it's never been addressed. Replace vba with c#, have a visual line linking cells to other cell references, bam million dollar product.
Pretty much this.

I always found it crazy how zmq gained any traction at all.

"Oh, I have a req/resp workload" - one of the sides restarts, goes out of rhythm with the state of the connection (whether its req or resp), unrecoverable errors.

Every system I've seen use zmq usually use it without these fancy patterns (use yeet messages in any order), and usually have some sort of "Is anybody there on the other side?" message to combat the fact there is no way to introspect connection state (otherwise your writes just block at the high water mark), at which point it would have been easier to just use tcp.

The whole thing to me reeks of mongo. It's great if you are completely incapable/incompetent of solving the problem properly.
It was two teams working in parallel the one from Virgin and the other from westwood. Both publishers had the "dune license".

Small note though, the heaviside function used in the the perceptron is non-linear (it can tell you which side of a plane the input point lies), and a multi-layer perceptron could classify the red and blue dots in your example. But it cannot be used with back-propagation because its derivative is zero everywhere, except at f(0), where it's non-differentiable.
As a programmer who had used Excel for years, seeing my accountant start typing a formula, change sheets, select some cells, go back, repeat, was a learning process. I didn't even know you could do that, and also, I hated it. But it worked very well for him.

I've more recently been exposed to a few spreadsheets that are used to calculate quotes in major insurance businesses when I was asked to create an online process instead, replicating the questions and formula.

They're things of horrifying eldritch beauty. I seem to always find at least one error, and no one I'm allowed to talk to ever really knows how they work since they're built up over years. Those dependency arrows are a life saver.
I've had some bad experiences with zeromq in robotic systems contexts: it's very assert-happy, and therefore tends to bring down the whole process in corner cases, and it's quite difficult to debug. It caused me quite a lot of headache and I'm no longer particularly enamored of the approach (the internal architecture is one which makes error propagation very difficult, so even if the individual bugs were fixed there's not a good overall handling strategy).

Sequence diagrames (that seems not much different swimlane diagrams) are great, so much so that I created a tool that generates them from appropriately built TLA+ specs representing message exchange scenarios: https://github.com/eras/tlsd

However, while they are good for representing scenarios, they are not that good for specifying functionality. You can easily represent the one golden path in the system, but if you need to start representing errors or diverging paths, you probably end up needing multiple diagrams, and if you need multiple diagrams, then how do you know if you have enough diagrams to fully specify the functionality?

> The protocol is complicated enough for me to think that the diagrams are the source of truth of the protocol. In other words, I'd venture to say that if an implementation of the Double Rachet algorithm ever does something that doesn't match the diagrams, it is more likely it is the code that is wrong than vice-versa.

I would believe the latter statement, but I wouldn't say the first statement is that said in other words, so I don't believe this is the correct conclusion.

My conclusion would be that diagrams are great way to visualize the truth of the protocol, but they are not a good way to be the source of truth: they should be generated from a more versatile (and formal) source truth.
I agree that is the ideal. However there is still the realm of unprovables (and undisprovables). Further we learned during COVID that the burden of proving or disproving something can be extremely high, and sometimes a heuristic is the best that can be done, especially on a short deadline (do I mask or not mask? It takes weeks to do tests and I need to decide now).

It's worth noting that one dark matter explanation is just: it's cold matter we just can't see through telescopes. Or black holes without accretion disks.

Both of these are pretty much ruled out though: you can't plausibly add enough brown dwarfs, and if it's black holes then you should see more lensing events towards nearby stars given how many you'd need.

But they're both concrete predictions which are falsifiable (or boundable such that they can't be the dominant contributors).

> he has a tendency to try to dismiss differing points of views on the basis that he has 20 years of experience

I surely will concede I have this tendency, now you have to keep the context in mind. You are on an internet forum focused on CS, and emerges a comment thread on personal investments. The very subject of this thread is whether it makes sense to consider risk adjusted returns or just any kind of returns for your investments.

My argument is based on the fact that risk adjusted returns should be used, and you should assume normal distribution. I am not saying this is a law of nature, but rather that this is a fine and widely used assumption for both practitioners and academics, which allows the argument and explanation to go further without entering an experts debate (like you are trying to start).

So I stand by what I said: for all intents of this discussion, assuming normal distribution should be a given. If you want to dance around it and demonstrate that a students distribution or whatnot is a better fit, go ahead. I think this is more armful than helpful here.

> try to dismiss differing points of views on the basis that he has 20 years of experience

I think this is important on the contrary. What is lost on a forum like HN is the context of people answering comments. When someone comments "I don't think risk adjusted returns are important", it makes a hell lot of a difference if it's just the opinion of a random guy, or someone with actual experience.

Now while it takes 1 sentence to wrongfully dismiss a scientific fact, it can take 100 pages of an expert to prove that it's true. Look at a proof that 1+1=2.

That is where credentials are important IMHO. Some debate tengents are not interesting in a discussion, and will only lead to an expert explanation serving no purpose other than confusing a reader, and making the expert proud of himself. In these situations, just stopping the tengent is the best reaction IMHO.

So I apologize if you take my comments as dismissing, but try to assume good intent. When someone asks why you should use risk adjusted returns to compare investments, I think the saner thing to do is to tell him to assume normal distribution, because that's the far more likely scenario, most of the research do take this overall assumption, and you can proceed to the demonstration that makes sense, which I showcased in my previous comment about 10% returns on 10% annual vol versus 5% returns on 1% annual vol.

To re take the example I posted above, when the discussion is about 1+1=2, I don't think you're doing any good contradicting that it doesn't hold on Z/2.

Assuming normal distribution of returns is a pretty standard base for comparing investments. It is a base shared by many models and metrics. Sharpes don't make a lot of sense on non normal distributions, mean variance optimization either.
"Tiers" can mean "third" in a sense other than fractions. E.g. Le Tiers-Etat (the Third Estate in the Ancien Regime) and "un tiers" ("a third party").

It makes a big difference for oral sex. In queer communities "sex" means a lot of things. My agreement with my partner is that if I am going to have sex with someone else, first we have a conversation about testing status and sex partners, and if that goes well we can have oral sex without protection or have penetrative sex with condoms.

I don't really have sex with people I don't have some level of trust with, but we are all sleeping around a bit and even someone you trust can make mistakes. Most STIs are curable or not a big deal, but HIV changes your entire life. With PrEP, you allow yourself some freedom to take a calculated risk. I mostly don't have sex with someone unless they are on PrEP too, because I only have sex with responsible mature people and in our community, taking PrEP is the responsible and mature thing to do. But we are still fooling around with a lot of people. If I am on PrEP and the person I am hooking up with is on PrEP, the chances of getting a life changing STI become extremely low.

There is another factor. With my doctor's office, which sees a lot of people in the community, they won't let you be on PrEP unless you get tested every three months. So in many cases if someone is on PrEP they are also getting regular testing done. That is not a direct result of PrEP, just an administrative side effect, but what it means is that if I go to a sex party and someone wants to go down on me, as happened in January, then if we are both on PrEP and getting tested every three months, then that interaction is very safe. When I did this it was with someone my girlfriend (who was also at the party with me) knew before I did, so there was some level of community trust there.

Hope that is a helpful answer.
Historically speaking, the people and the environment come a very, very distant second and third place to mine owners.

Even moreso these days because China and North Korea have sponsored so much infrastructure in Africa over 20 years as European colonisation has pulled out, and bought so many mines and in-field processing plants that the local people are just an ablative grease for mechanised and chemical mining.

Mandatory pension funds are a ponzi. And btw the EU is hard at work working on one atm: they re currently thinking hard as to how to capture the wealth of EU citizens and the latest iteration would be a mandatory fund to invest in... State sponsored companies. They ll oc course not be presenting it that way but that s what it is. Then they ll kick the can down the road for years or decades by forcing mandatory contribution from new taxpayers.

Ponzi / pyramidal / state-mandated shenanigans never end well.

FWIW that mandatory fund in the EU shall be used to finance the army, digital transition (supposedly to counter the US but actually to siphon taxpayers money into friends of politicians creating companies that ll never compete with SV) and... Ecology.

I'm not thrilled that in a few months I ll be forced to invest in that.
The presentation has one of the most annoying things I know, it quotes itself. And it quotes a lot. It is like watching sports game when commentator says you that there will be a home run in a while, and the final game score will be such and such. You lose all the intrigue of the game this way.
> just seems better to buy outright

which is fine, but you're just adding administrative burden on yourself.

The bond fund is doing exactly what you're trying to achieve, except that they reinvest the bond capital back into new bonds when they mature. You get the coupon payment as income, and you sell the bond fund when you want capital back.

The price of the bond fund is a reflection of the value of the bond at market prices - exactly as if you would yourself, if you held the bond directly, and wanted to sell before maturity.

You might eek out a tiny bit of efficiency due to lack of fund fees you pay, if you held bonds yourself - but then the administrative burden you have to do yourself is going to cost just the same imho (via time taken for example).
re Dune 1 and 2 in same year: At some point Dune 1, developed by Cyro interactive, was officially cancelled and Westwood (so a totally different studio) got a crack at developing it. But it turned out Dune 1 kept on getting secret funding as well, and wasn't cancelled when the higher ups found out. So we were kind of lucky to get both of them.

I also keep an error journal, which I call "The Library of Horrors", so when an error reocurs I can refer to.

I found this necessary because I tend to remember the "oh, this happened earlier..." but not the "... and this is the approach we followed succesfully" that should follow. The information is slotted in my brain, but not accessible unless I have some key reminder.

Also serves as a communication device between my past and future self, and between coworkers. The error-solving information tends to live transiently in your and your coworkers minds, and it is very valuable.

I haven't solved the method to properly identify-and-recalling. I simply save new information per project, per language, etc, with not much thinking. This would clearly be the next point of improvement.
