But you can't know how many parameters do a user-defined "node" have. I don't see how it can work for generic data structures without a specific syntax for "the children of this node". Go also uses [] for generics, doesn't it?

At that point I find a uniform system (without special-casing arrays and pointers - they are also just types) would be simpler.
Pretty sure I can buy 30% or more from a lab supplier in the US. I can buy gallons of the 3% stuff with no issue too. The 12% stuff is usually in hair products, which I think has stabilizers or other additives in it. I use peroxide for European style mounts which is why I need so much of it. I decided 3% works fine and is way more economical than the powerful stuff even if it takes longer.

I curious as to why people would have a public API to begin with if they wanted to protect it from people using it. Then again, why would anyone have a public undocumented API in 2024 when a LLM can give you a cli tool to auto-generate 90% of the OpenAPI spec in a couple of hours? The last question isn't serious, I've worked in enterprise for decades and almost none of the tools organisations end up buying have good documentation for their API's.

Things like Desert Storm involve 1,000s of casualties. It seems more likely that it wasn't an operational failure as such but more that the Russians didn't expect resistance and were aiming for a repeat of their Georgian invasion [0] with direct casualties around the low hundreds mark.

It seems probable that the spirited resistance the Ukrainians offered and the level of western intervention that has been observed were what threw the Russians off and they are more strategic factors. When it became clear that there was going to be a real conflict they immediately started mobilising a much bigger force than they started with.

There isn't really that much evidence of Russia's military power either way yet, the fog of war is too thick. There were catastrophic mistakes in their planning assumptions though.

I get that they probably (I'm assuming) represent moving the titlebar to the top (maximizing) or to the bottom (minimizing) of the screen, but I can see someone who doesn't already know what they do assuming they're for changing between windows.

To be fair, the modern maximize/minimize icons that Windows uses are not that much better. The minimize button doesn't even represent what a taskbar entry looks like (by default) anymore.

AI Hasn't Helped Most Engineers (Yet)
presumably the goal is to have the smoothest and most consistant combustion, and therefore less vibration, and known ,predictable resonant frequencys in the system.
Which makes very small increments of time important.These rockets are consuming ? tons/sec of fuel, and then its a question of how "small" of an inconsistancy will break things.
A simple but true engineering pricipal, is that any noise, is proof of ineficiency, and therefor a full examination of the audio frequency , coupled with video of the flame.Other data that might be nice would be to know exactly what is happening inside the turbo pumps,and fuel lines.
The whole thing is so violent, that resonant phenominon not seen anywhere else, could be doing very weird things inside tanks and lines. And sensors for that, especialy video, could be challenging to engineer.
Here is a wierd fact about a high pressure diesel fuel line: the pressure pulse (-+ 10000psi) causes
a travelling expansion in the fuel line, that then causes a magnetic pulse, which can be detected, but you want to be quick about it, eh!
Short answer: no.

>a lot of access to the modern "highly connected" cars they are making

The systems for this are super complex, we (software engineers) build absolutely huge and complex systems for everything. Lots of functionality is often forgotten and just lives as an old website IE6-compatible somewhere. And honestly, we have no idea what's there, but millions of SEs over the last 30 years had to build lots of thing, right?

One such example that always interests me was 2013 - when PM of Cyprus decided to claim 10% of money on every bank account people had. https://www.irishexaminer.com/world/arid-30588134.html

Consider that that functionality had to be somewhere centralised with a standardised API, available to the PR and his team, supported by every bank in Cyprus and regularly tested. Your PM must also have such tools available, and more. Knowledge about such tools must be protected and available to only a handful of people.

That’s the difference between truly new approaches to modelling an existing problem, or coming up with a new problem. No set of a bit different results or missing exact hyperparameter settings really invalidates the value of the aforementioned research. If the math works, and is a nice new point of view, its good. It may not even help anyone with practical applications right now, but may inspire ideas further down the line that do make the work practicable, too.

In contrast, if the main value of a paper is a claim that they increase performance/accuracy in some task by x%, then its value can be completely dependent on whether it actually is reproduceable.

Sounds like you are complaining about the latter type of work?
Agree with the sentiment, but senior, staff, platform, architect, etc can also be granted on merit in orgs with engineering segregated. Playing the high school drama games does get you places though.

The cheapest time to add documentation is when you have the information in your head because you just worked on it. Nobody is demanding an essay for every method, but just write down what went through your head when you implemented weird hack #17 or found out that the API you're calling does something surprising.
Because the militia is necessarily made of the people. There are even definitions for the implicit militia in 10 US ss 246. When individuals were conscripted to fight in the militia to put down the whisky rebellion, they brought their own arms. There is an interesting history of how those arms were treated - even exclusions when property was seized by the courts to pay debts the militia related arms were not taken. By leaving the arms with the people rather than only issuing them when their is an uprising lends itself to the "well regulated" part, as regulated has a different meaning when used to describe soldiers/units of the period - generally skilled and disciplined, which requires practice. There really is a lot to read into and interpret in many areas of the constitution based on the language differences from then vs now, the the second amendment being a prime example.
This is a normal practice for applications, and allows you to pre-compile that header for performance. I don't think it's a bad enough practice to warrant complaining, but it's good for people to know the advantages or disadvantages.
Fixed price works for some projects and not for others. I like fixed price for self-contained projects, and you can reduce the chances of big surprises by charging for a discovery/design phase before you quote for the development. I find fixed price less practical when there's multiple designers/devs involved though, when you can't control the decisions and scoping as much. Sprint based pricing can be an option here.

Besides hourly, have you tried daily billing? I rarely see this mentioned but I think half day billing works well: unlike daily billing you're not forced to work the full day for one client, and the timekeeping can be less granular so you can focus more and worry less about eating/explaining hours.

I've seen people advocate weekly billing (and even monthly), but then what if you can only commit to a few days some weeks?

That's a valid question, but I don't know how to answer it without going into great depth rehashing stuff I've said on here before as well as stuff I haven't. Suffice to say that my Adverse Childhood Experiences score is quite high, and that my life has been marked by a series of unfortunate experiences which I have found myself unable to relate with the vast majority of my peers over.

And I have tried. The older I get, the more it just looks like PTSD when I do try and relate with people. That doesn't mean that each of them haven't had their share of struggles, it just seems like a magnitude or more less for the majority of folk I know.

The difference in current struggle has dropped off a bit in the last few years because life has been getting rough for everyone outside the wealthy class, but the majority of my life was absolute hell. The first time I put a gun in my mouth and sat with a finger on the trigger, I was nine years old.

You're not being paid to document, you're being paid for writing maintainable code (in decent places at least) and it's your job as a professional to decide how much documentation that includes. In my opinion the idea that good code is "self-documenting" is a myth.

Additionally, writing is the best way to properly think things through. If you can't write an article about your work then most likely you don't even understand it yet. Maybe there are critical errors in it. Maybe you'll find that you can further improve it. By researching and citing the relevant literature you put your work in perspective, how it relates to other results.

> Sagemath offers a different purpose which is scientific computing in order to compete with Mathematica and MATLAB.

Yes, that was its goal, when Python wasn't as evolved as it is now. More recently I've come to rely on Python libraries like sympy for symbolic processing. For these kinds of results Sage relies on a rather old environment called Maxima, and I think current sympy does pretty much everything that Maxima does. And as time passes Python libraries are beginning to provide some of the numerical processing originally provided by MATLAB (but more slowly).

> It currently isn't well supported in Windows which is what you might have meant by the complexity.

Actually I was thinking of JupyterLab itself. As time passes I find it more difficult to get it installed without library conflicts. But that can be said about many Python-based projects in modern times, which is why a Python virtual environment is becoming more the rule than the exception, in particular with GPU-reliant chatbots and imaging apps, to avoid the seemingly inevitable library version conflicts.

If memory serves, Sage now installs on Windows by creating a Linux VM to support it.
Also every device has a microphone now. Many even constantly listen, ostensibly for a "Hey Google" or whatever.
I've used this specific tool to help me reverse engineer the private API of an Android App.

The thing is, depending on how hardened the app is, you'll have to play with Android to allow this interception, mostly because of certificate pinning. Also I remember something about apps not using the system wide trusted certificates you install (IIRC).

I remember using a rooted device with LineageOS, and downloading the APK and modifying it with a tool so the self signed certificate for the mitm proxy works with it.

The mitm proxy docs have some links to tools that can do that [0] and you could also use an Android emulator if you don't have an extra phone to mess with it [1]

There's an old LCM (Living Computer Museum, RIP) video where they run off a card deck of a risque ASCII art program on an IBM mainframe's line printer.

IIRC the original livestream was unprepared for that :P
For a lot of people, AI is a fun journey where they create things that are amazing. And I agree, the results are quite amazing. But it's also a sad thing that the world works this way because scientists like this never think of the larger social consequences of their work. They are insulated and elevated to lofty social positions while their creations fundamentally alter the social fabric. AI is one of those things that is quite dangerous and the fact that large corporations attract people by glorifying their intellect is a recipe for disaster.
I would suspect the same in any job.

>> marimo notebooks are pure Python and stored as .py files

That sounds like a solid improvement. I’m going to give this a test drive. I feel like modularity is one of the hardest aspects of Jupyter notebooks in a team environment.

I’d be interested to hear if anyone has cracked a workflow with notebooks for larger teams. Notebooks are easy for solo or very small teams, and the literate programming style benefits still apply in larger teams but there’s a lot of friction: “hey just %run this shared notebook with a bunch of useful utilities in it - oops yeah it tries to write some files because of some stuff unrelated to your use case in there (that’s essential to my use case)”

My current best that I know of is to keep “calculation” (pure) code in a .py and just the “action“ (side-effectful) code in the notebook. Then as far as physically possible, keep the data outside of notebook (usually a database or csv’s). That helps avoid the main time sink pitfalls (resolving git conflicts, versioning, testing etc) but it doesn’t solve for example tooling you might want to run - maybe mypy against that action code - sure you can use nbqa but… interested to learn better approaches.

It might also explain why Haskell has such a tiny user base compared to mainstream languages. Python folks love pointing out that the main reason it dominates everywhere is its massive library ecosystem—you can pretty much do anything with it. The language makes it easy to write libraries and gives you all the tools you need to do it.
Well, but that scales with the number of people.

The scientists themselves are working as reviewers.

More scientists writing papers also means more scientists available for reviewing papers.

And as you say, distribution is easy, so you can do reviewing after publishing instead of doing it before.
