The US is usually judged against the Scandinavian countries by comparing homicide rates, so use the same to compare Singapore to the Scandinavian countries and you'll see that Singapore does much better.

You could do the comparison using other crimes instead, but bodies are a more concrete metric. By the way, it's not just Singapore.
So ... where's the edge? "Create your own portfolio" doesn't sound at all like you're taking any responsibility in making sure Average Joe gets any competitive advantage to stay above the market.

Seems yet another tool like Robinhood and a trillion alike that offers you the possibility to gamble some money, with absolutely no advantage over a blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper's financial pages.

By the way, do you want an edge? Or at least understand what an edge is and how it's supposed to feel like?

If you would trading daily and randomly, trading cost alone can kill your capital after a few years. Hence my biggest concern would be the percentage charged for trading.
It is hard for me to rebut all the points in this article because my experience is entirely the opposite save for the point of simple syntax.

In opposition to another comment here claiming the UUID example is fantastic, the author admits that their criticism is surface level at best:

"Here is a telling example: Go's most popular UUID library ... has 165 commits and 0 dependencies. Rust's most popular UUID library ... has 1594 commits. *I didn't analyze* why so many commits were needed to generate UUIDs, *but* something is clearly wrong."

The 20% performance fee in the 2 and 20 for hedge fund managers can easily become a tip on their tax returns, but I dont expect they will be back at the table asking what they did so wrong that would deserve such a paltry tip.
I don't think they were asking for corporate speak. But at least I would find a plain technical error message like "cannot contact file server" much more respectable than something like "unicorns are hugging our servers uwu".
Pretty much the opposite. Poverty doubled in the last 12 months in Argentina, things are going really bad there

Colour me old-fashioned, but i am really sceptical about a zero-shot general-purpose LLM-based anomaly detector being able to outperform a trivial, not-obviously-wrong ML/statistical model calibrated on a small subset of the data that makes training extremely fast, in entirely new domains. And in anomaly detection, false negatives (and even false positives) can be very expensive.

The most promising role for LLMs in timeseries prediction is in extracting covariates from unstructured data, in the wind example, weather reports and geographically proximal social media posts.

> so if you make $63k and live like you make $35k, you should be able to save at least $10k a year or more.

You're discounting tax. At least in Ireland, as a PAYE worker (employee) your take home would be 32,228. Given rent, food and bills, it is not remotely realistic to assume savings of that level. Still less save for a deposit or a house or apartment, climbing onto the property ladder. Can you live below your means, sure? Will this provide enough capital to meaningfully invest? On its own absolutely not.

It's much harder for me to guesstimate tax and expenses for the US, but I'd assume similar is true.

You're also assuming no children - which is a pretty grim, but realistic assessment given these income levels. At a median income level having children now actively puts you in poverty.

Yes, this too! The in-screen fingerprint reader on the Pixel 8 is distinctly not as good as the dedicated one on the Pixel 4a. I'm surprised they shipped it.
Thanks! Yes, it's ioquake3 compiled to wasm with Emscripten, and definitely still uses 3D accelerators via WebGL. Quake III is GPL of course and the code is here: https://github.com/jdarpinian/ioq3

In addition to WebRTC multiplayer and a bunch of random improvements I added web gamepad API support as well as touch controls. Yeah, touch controls, because half of everyone is browsing on their phone and I don't think you can really call it a proper web port if it doesn't work on phones. Touch controls for Quake III were a challenge but I think I have something that's fun to use. I'm interested to hear if it works for people.

I'm also experimenting with a port of Cave Story (the classic 2D indie platformer) with touch controls for mobile: https://thelongestyard.link/cave-story/

>We use traditional paper ballots in Spain, and we have the full results within 2-3h of polls closing.

Thats great for a country of 44 million, not so great with a country the population of 333 million spread across multiple time zones.

>The trick is using a distributed system. Each ballot box is opened, counted and tallied at the same time. The results (along with the votes themselves for posterior re-counting if needed) are sent to local electoral authorities who input the updates into a central system in real time. It essentially takes as long as it takes to count the fullest ballot boxes in big cities.

Lets set aside the issues involved with transmitting data electronically (sounds like just a distributed electronic system). Each state in the US runs its own election process and has its own budget. You would have numerous problems implementing this system across a country with 4 primary time zones(lets ignore the lone two states with separate time zones for now).

>Funny that you mentioned speed as an argument for electronic voting, though. I never understood how the US uses it, yet it takes them days to get the full results.

What are you talking about? The last several elections were typically decided within 12-24 hrs of the polls closing on the east coast. Where are you getting your "days" from? Maybe you are just reading Spanish news that is days behind in covering American news?
You are skeptical about something that is explained quite thoroughly in the article. Did you read the article?

Looking at this from my work machine and a malware detection warning came up.
Haskell has a long history of a small base library with a lot of essential functionality being provided as third party libraries, including mtl and transformers (monad transformers), vector (an array library). Even time (a time library) and text (Unicode strings) are third party, by some definitions (they aren't part of the base library but they are shipped with the compiler).

Some people think that's fine, some people think it's annoying. I personally think it's great because it allows for a great deal of separate evolution.

I once accidentally inherited the fast math flag from a parent project in to builds of LuaJIT. The result was that LuaJIT's tagged unions, which are used pretty much everywhere and rely on normal fp functionality, broke drastically. Type checking for all values in the VM broke.

Ok but households with underage people tend to also contain adults, who might want access to such content... Without incredibly invasive technical measures, proper filtering just isn't possible.

The PhD level remark is by comparison with Go's remarks on all programming languages that go beyond its lame type system, including Java's.

"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they’re not researchers. They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."

"It must be familiar, roughly C-like. Programmers working at Google are early in their careers and are most familiar with procedural languages, particularly from the C family. The need to get programmers productive quickly in a new language means that the language cannot be too radical."

We are all well aware of the blue collar goals of Java 1.0.

Now we are at Java 23 EA, where the distance to Go's type system is even greater.

We have Go's failure to learn from history of programming languages, ironically following Java's missteps on generics (reaching out to the same Haskell folks that helped with Pizza compiler), with warts of its own with magic string formats for timestamps, const iota dance for enumerations, magic types and tagged structs.

Had Rust become mature one or two years earlier, and most likely Docker and Kubernetes would have pivoted from Python and Java respectively into Rust instead, with Go's fate being the same as Limbo.
Population 66 Million vs 333 million spread across 6 time zones(if you include Hawaii and Alaska).
This is interesting. Maybe this could help bring back some long form tv, which in my opinion is better than watching TikTok which consumes our dwindling attention span

I think the one that didn't win was not selected because potentially problematic to use for the brand. Spraying WD-40 on the ground could be seen as polluting, and they would probably want to stay away from that.
It's also not the intended use of WD-40 which makes it too far fetched for a potential marketing use.
Annoyingly, I've never gotten to use Lit at work, but I use it in every single personal project I've made in the last few years. :(

It depends on whether you're doing art for the artistic expression or to make a living. If it's the latter, you'll need to do what is asked or what is worth money instead of what you want. This applies to every creative endeavour, or hell, most of anything that earns you money. I don't want to sit here writing user stories that should ideally be fixed today, but it earns me money and I can do it so I guess.

Why not buy a normal radiometer? They are so cheap and mass produced.

These days digital integrating radiometers are able to not just integrate dose over time, but also adjust for dose rate effects (i.e. same amount radiation absorbed over shorter time is more harmful), and ratio of beta, gamma, and neutrons. And they cost in the range of $200. I still keep my CD V-715 somewhere in the closet, though.
Do they have any other purpose besides CSS though? They were even hard to use as selectors in JS until querySelector appeared.
Also the tools you might not have for that particular repair typically cost as much or less than the service call would cost. Except once you have the tools and know how the next service call is free whereas if you got someone to do it for you, you’ll have to pay just as much the next time around.

I’ve been researching this time period’s printmaking on archive.org through the lens of web design

I’ve reached a conclusion the modern web is far too Modernist/Minimalist for its own good. Ornaments raise the barrier to entry in publishing. I think moving towards appropriate ornamentation in web design from high end brands/enthusiasts online may give non-technical users a visual reinforcement into sources which are more trustworthy or at least genuinely invested in their topic than the drivel found on the first page of Google

As I currently see it, it is far too easy for disinterested parties to fart out SEO driven pages produced in Canva, Shopify and Squarespace based sites that are disproportionately aesthetically pleasing for the garbage-grade content they provide

I’m worried that the internet outside of the titan’s walled gardens will forever be in this current state of “local advertising section” of a cheap local tabloid that we currently find itself in

If we have to make the internet less “democratised” and raise the barrier to entry in publishing a website worth reading then so be it in my eyes. Where are the secular, digital equivalents of illuminated sacred texts? Users are more than happy to devote thousands of hours to their interests as Reddit mods or Wikipedia contributors, but why can’t we organise efforts towards a web that we’re actually proud of?

The internet is a beautiful array of technologies, perhaps the greatest accomplishment of our species so far. How can we raise the standards of the web whilst thwarting off the ever-looming corruption of commercial interests of the SV titans of our species’ one universal platform?
God the guy behind the camera commentating is just nails on a chalk board bad.

>Who actually cares about security?

A better way to frame this is what do the parties care about and what motivates them to care so deeply about that topic? I was at Voting Village this year and to see the same dogshit Diebold systems from the 2000s was depressing.

Fortunately there is a solution since these systems are administered state by state. Focus on the potential swing states to make sure they are up to par. Thats where the real fight is.

I can tell you in my local state(a strong democratic leaning state), local activists have been pushing the government and they actually managed to phase out all old voting machines for a Electronic + Print system that allows the voters to verify the ballot before casting. There is a paper record in case the election is close and so it can then be recounted. Its not perfect but its a start.

Also there is something to be said that 95% percent of 2024 voters will be voting with a voter verified paper trail so there has been a lot of progress made.

The audiobooks of the Wolf Hall trilogy are fantastic as well. They're read by Ben Miles, who played Cromwell in the RSC adaptations of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, and collaborated directly with Mantel on the stage adaptation of the Mirror & The Light. His take on the character is excellent, far superior to Mark Rylance in the TV version, who I thought was badly miscast.

I got pretty good at "Makers Competitions" in my University years, to the point where my technical peak wasn't when winning a NASA competition, but ~2 years later when we released a technical product within a weekend in another competition.

I remember wrapping up the competition, winning all the prices we could win except one (1st place, and "best of" for 3 out of 4 categories), and the feeling that we had demolished the competition all around and that felt somehow a bit unfair for the rest. That was the last time I participated in a competition of this kind.

How did we do it? I had the network of contacts already (co-created a Maker group at my University) so I could literally hand-pick a team of 5 with the best maker in each sector; I called my previous co-winner who is great at tech presentations, and called the best designer+3D artist, the best App programmer, the best electronics person I knew, (and me). I got a stomach infection and spent a third of the competition in the toilet, but I ended up doing mainly programming and organizing: 1-2 hours to decide on the theme and solution, then split the work efficiently, and then let each person work on their own thing while continuously checking for sync between them. We ended up with a product and UI that seemed like a commercial product.

I'm in the UK so I have no Social Security Number, and I still got the HIBP e-mail.

When I looked into it, it turns out the "original" breach is comprised of files named ssn.txt and ssn2.txt which only contains Americans details, and doesn't contain any e-mail addresses.

It seems what happened is there was one leak of US SSNs which the leakers attributed to NPD, then some people bundled that leak up with a bunch of other data (including e-mail addresses and details of non-americans) and who knows if the latter data actually came from NPD?
Product-market fit is a spectrum, as opposed to something you definitely have or don’t

- Every business is unique, and metrics frameworks apply differently. Focus on the metrics that matter for your product, and make sure they’re clearly defined

- Product Market Fit (PMF) can rise and fall as the product and market change and grow. It’s not this static thing that once you get it, you always have it.

B2B

Every enterprise company should run a 30-day proof of concept trial. To make these trials productive, company usually requires the customer to agree to buy the product after 30 days if it meets expectations. But… pull the trial after 30 days (no matter what). Then:

“If the customer doesn’t scream, you don’t have product-market fit because if they’re not going to buy it at the end of 30 days, they’re not desperate, and if they’re not desperate, you don’t have product-market fit.”

“The second biggest mistake I see entrepreneurs make, especially in enterprise, is when they pitch a potential customer on an idea, and when the customer doesn’t like the idea, they try to iterate on the product to build something the customer would want.”

“That’s the absolutely wrong thing to do, even though it feels right. You want to find people who love what you’re doing, not try to convince the ‘no’s’ and turn them into ‘yes’s.'”

B2C

“The only way you know if you have product-market fit is if you get word of mouth” (and the best test of word of mouth is exponential, organic growth)

Benchmark: Users scream for the product so you can screw everything up and still win (for a period of time).
I think you make a good point.

But here's my counterargument: if I buy someone a ticket to a concert, then are they bound to the terms I agreed, including in relation to harm to them caused by (alleged) supplier negligence? I'd argue that they have a claim in tort, not contract, and therefore the terms of my contract with the supplier are not relevant.

If you can't stitch polygons together seamlessly, how can you be sure the background doesn't bleed through with sampling? Isn't computing the exact coverage the same as having infinitely many point samples? The bleed-through of the background would then also be proportional to the gap between polygons, so if that one's small, the bleeding would be minor as well.
If your business depends on some form of closed-source codebase, than yes, an AGPL codebase will not suit your need. But from an opensource developer perspective it doesn't matter. For example, if you release your source code under the more freer license (like BSD, MIT or Apache), you can indeed close source your code. But so can others. I can use your source code, add more features to it, and close source it. I would be under no obligation to share my code with you, while also having the right to use your code as I please. This is not so with the AGPL. An AGPL + CLA makes this explicit - a developer has to voluntarily give away this right with a CLA. (And this gives developers some additional leverage).
