I don't see how cryptocurrency enables this, because I don't think this is the result of currency being fiat. I think it's a result of currency being a token of wealth rather than wealth itself.

(Joke) I'm still waiting for bacteria to evolve a resistance to boiling!

(Seriousness) Different infectious agents can / can not evolve around their vaccines. We don't get yearly polio shots, we do get yearly covid/flu shots.

(Speculation) It's probably too early to tell if there's a way for HIV to evolve around this, but it might have something to do with how effective we are at killing HIV in our population to begin with.
I mean the built-in libraries for .NET (whether that is the older .NET Framework, or .NET Core - now labeled just as .NET). One of the biggest benefits to using C# and .NET is the amount of documentation available. If you are still using .NET Framework, and haven't moved to the open-source .NET, I would suggest spending some time learning the open-source version. It's not vastly different, and the good thing is the C# language hasn't changed very much, other than adding new features for developer ergonomics.

Those dealings with Sotomayor are obviously sketchy and should not be legal, not sure where in the thread you got the impression that it was being ignored. But unless you are being intentionally dishonest signing a book deal is substantially different from receiving all expenses paid vacations. And given Thomas' willingness to throw away precedent in recent rulings, him receiving gifts in exchange for "nothing" puts him under even more scrutiny.
Hey kids,

Do ya love sprinting? Wanna never stop?

Wanna play with cards shouting numbers with no meaning not unlike old ladies playing Bingo?

Wanna have a mini CEO, who, for some reason bosses around people far more qualified than themselves, implying that they are just nerds that can't be trusted to speak to the outside world?

Wanna appoint one of your team members each week (or, even better, hire a dedicated member of your team) to whine about you adhering to all of the rules you just made up?

If you love all of the above, you'd love Scrum. And, if your idea of good time is being in meetings about meetings, you'd love SAFe even more.

> If you are just getting started, think of Scrum as a way to get work done as a team in small pieces at a time,

The reality is that if you are just getting started, think of Scrum as a way to talk about work and have rituals about work, preventing you from doing actual work. I have never, in my long career, seen Scrum work. Unless your idea of it working is chasing away good developers and making the mediocre ones thrive (in following the process, not in actual achievements).

Scrum is just terrible and should be killed with fire.

It looks small, but it's not really -- the C abstract machine differs too much from the actual hardware it's running on.

You could write a "CVM", akin to the JVM, that runs C code in a virtual environment that matches the abstract machine. Or you can let your compiler deal with the differences, which leads to unhappiness such as is exhibited in this discussion thread and the article it's discussing.

But the actual answer is revealing. Bjarne implemented multiple inheritance in C++ because it was easy. It's a New Jersey language. The priority is simplicity of implementation.

It's not about what was popular, or that Stroustrup was at Cambridge not Edinburgh (all the exciting Programming Language theory stuff in that era like ML was from Edinburgh as you perhaps know). If ADTs were easy, C++ would have ADTs.

Homomorphic encryption is broadly useful and in fact should be ubiquitous for remote computation that leaks private data (not to comment specifically on Apple's implementation). They did open source it though, which gives you an idea that they want others to follow.
Kind of a weird argument when the whole discussion is about a time when the executive stood up to the fossil fuel industry and heavily tightened regulations.

To give this some fun context, carbon atoms are roughly 0.1 nm across. So that's means little bumps of 100s or 1000s of atoms are allowed on the surface.

Might seem bad at first glance, but I think it just points to how small atoms really are. Besides, such bumps don't really effect the light being used.

Coming back to 3D printing, if their surface irregularity is two orders of magnitude worse, that means 100k atom bumps. Really speaks to how difficult these engineering challenges are.
Babies are deliberately fragile - if there is an issue evolution wants to nip it in the bud early rather than wasting years of resources raising someone who is ultimately not going to reach adulthood anyways. This is part of the reason that mortality in the first year is over 14 times higher than in the second year, even in the developed world with modern medical practices.

Evolution doesn't care about babies, they are easily replaceable. Evolution doesn't care about the elderly, they have served their purpose. The most important thing is to keep people in their late teens to early thirties alive at all costs as these are the ones statistically most likely to successfully produce and raise offspring. It is no coincidence that this is also the age where people reach peak physical condition. Nature is brutal, but efficient.
An if-like conditional construct will not, by itself, re-evaluate the condition when an exception occurs, unless it is a special exception-aware construct (a weird macro someone made). The conditional construct would itself have to have an internal restart point around the conditional expression, which intercepts the exception.

"Condition" is just a silly name for "exception". It does not mean "restartable exception". It's a terminology that Common Lisp copied from PL/I. At the time Common Lisp was being standardized, it was not a common programming language feature, so the naming didn't matter. In the decades since, the world went to "exception".

The word "condition" already has a clear meaning in computing, referring to a logical state ("condition control register", "conditional branch", ...). The "condition variable" synchronization primitive (which has no condition-like state!) is bad enough; we don't need to heap more meanings on those words.

Note that processor instruction sets have exceptions, precisely restartable, down to the instruction, without requiring a cooperating restart point. E.g. any code can hit a page fault: the exception handling will fix it up, making a page present at the faulting address, and then restart the instruction that faulted.

>> If I was looking for somewhere to live then it would be more interesting I think.

When I was looking at places to live in South Carolina, Florida and places in the Northwest like Oregon and Idaho, it was interesting to see some of the crime maps and grades these sites gave for crime.

In small coastal towns in Florida, they had small populations and were essentially tourist towns or inhabited by "snow birds" people who live in Northern states who live there during the Winter. Several of the places got D's or F's for crime. I was just shocked, but reading the footnotes, they made it clear that the numbers could be skewed because of the transit population or other factors like Spring Break revelers who come down, get in fights, people get assaulted, or sometimes killed and suddenly a small town's crime rate goes through the roof because of an outlier event that year.

It just made me leery about any statistics you see online with cool heat maps or grades they give to certain areas.

As an aside, the same thing was evident in small rural towns in the mountains in Idaho as well which also got poor grades for crime. It aligns more with your comment, it you go looking for trouble, chances are, you're going to find it.

But we can distinguish i and -i by convention and keep consistent right? Akin to sending the distant alien a sample? It’s in the abstract that we can’t really tell them apart. But as soon as we are given any kind of starting point to form a convention, like the first mathematical textbook tells us which is i and which is -i, we have enough?

I think of an unlabeled, unconnected graph of two vertices. If I just pick one and call it A say by pointing to it, that’s enough. The trick is to do it for limited communication partners like the alien right?
Yes, they want that; why not do that then? Like with Czechia[1], Sri Lanka, the Netherlands and others?

Although this is a discussion about costs

I just want to point out that the government has assumed the role of telling everyone how to take risks for its economy, and literally all you have to do is do that, successfully, and it will privilege your rewards by reducing risk on profits or reducing taxes

This is not controversial when you look at the state’s role in these outcomes
I'm not aware of any other company of Apple's size (or anywhere approaching) that have been as committed to privacy tech. Of course they are not perfect and sometimes get it wrong but they constantly release new technologies that are furthering our privacy. Who else does it better?
Wow that’s an actual use case! Pretty cool stuff. Unfortunately I think getting this code to run with asyncio would be a lot more work since there’s a lot more to consider. I guess it also depends on how stateful the coroutines are. The less state the easier it should be to use my jump method to do what you want.

Not my field so please bear with me. Before watching the video
the notion of interfering with the capsid as a mechanism for stopping the virus made sense.

However, what I still don't have a handle on is how does lenacapavir act so long that it only needs to be administered every six months?

From the explanation lenacapavir works on the capsid directly, it's not acting on the immune system by training the body's defences as with a traditional vaccine. Surely this molecule can't just hang around for six months without being gobbled up by the liver or such.

What am I missing here?

This is not NASAs first time dealing with this type of scenario. The crew of Skylab 3 had thruster issues in their Apollo command module. NASA actually redesigned an Apollo capsule to seat 5 in a return to earth. It went so far as the rescue crew starting to seriously train for a launch. In the end they found workarounds for the issue and brought them home normally.

I don’t know if it’s the case here, but very, very, very often in biotech you’ve got the primary foundational research happening at university labs funded by grants, and it’s the productionization of the research (and then clinical trials, etc) that are what the biotech companies are doing. I’m not sure where that shifts the “who deserves what” conversation, but without university research labs, there’s no pharma industry.

Isn't it a bit weird to expect consumer demand for CPU instruction set extensions?

Obviously there's very little of that, but what should matter is the developer uptake and thus better end-user experience that can be delivered? (I'd also hope for even better autovectorization in compilers.)

It's in my opinion kind-of insane that we're still building so much software for ancient baselines and leaving quite a bit of performance on the table across the entire system. (How much has Apple won in terms of performance by forcing everyone to build for new ARM targets using new toolchains?)
> Tacitly: most people don’t like launchd, but they don’t interact with it either. Find me a person who writes or debugs launchd plists and you’ll find that:

> [...]

> 2. they don’t like launchd

This is true in my case, although the main thing on my mind when I work with launchd my main complaint often boils down to 'I wish this were more like systemd'. IME, systemd has much nicer CLIs, more capabilities, clearer and more comprehensive documentation, more abundant examples, and more conveniences/less privileges required for per-user stuff. The simple INI format for systemd units is also a lot easier and nicer to deal with than the XML format that plists use, even though there's a lot of tooling around plists.

> even if it weren’t there is a built in backup/restore system that literally restores the machine to its entire previous state.

I get this for free on NixOS and it's really easy to get on other distros by plugging /etc/systemd into etckeeper, even without a snapshotting filesystem. (Plus many distros have backups via snapshots of CoW filesystems built in just like macOS does.)

> launchd and systemd aren’t even comparable, one is part of a monolithic proprietary operating system and the other is an ecosystem that is semi-modular which lends itself strongly to being an entire layer of your computing experience (dubbed: “the system layer” by Lennart Poettering).

Benno says literally all of this in his talk. He even has a diagram with the phrase 'system layer' up on a slide while he's talking about it. I just re-watched it yesterday.

Eschewing "AI" is not automatically a "stumble." This whine is beyond tiresome at this point. You hear it about any company that hasn't hurried to slap "AI" on everything it makes.

We heard the same moaning about Apple: They're "behind" on AI! Um, no; it's not their core business, and doesn't offer any particular benefit to its customer base at this point.
Indeed. To develop large information systems requires discipline and organization -- and programmers resist discipline as a mustang resists the bit. So what you have to do is break your programmers the way you break a horse -- enforce discipline upon them. They'll complain but it'll be worth it in the end. As an example, programmers often have cluttered desks citing the aphorism that "a cluttered desk is a sign of a brilliant mind" (when it's really just a sign of sloppy thinking). What you will find at highly effective software shops is that management will insist that the programmers keep a tidy desk, going so far as to bin any clutter they leave lying around -- because "neatness counts".

For as much as it's maligned, "big design up front" is just common sense. The most successful methodologies for software development are derived from engineering, manufacturing, and construction -- and in those fields, having a clear idea of your requirements and a complete design or blueprint before you build, before you even prototype, is just table stakes. Anything else is stupid.
