Who wants to take bets on how long before the paper gets cancelled and forced retraction?

Is this what Chris Granger's Eve programming language should have been?

The ESP32 is known for being cheap and featureful. The downside is that some functionality is implemented in software which results in lower battery life.

They do have money though.

The issue is that the language of science is mathematics, and mathematics is a cruel mistress. Conventional ethical boards also makes exploration of these decisions impossible. If a government official makes a decision on an event that lie at the end of two gaussians, the black swan happens and a bunch of people died, who is to blame? The people for not realizing the law of large numbers? Statistical software and Monte-Carlo modeling for claiming things have low probabilities? The government official for deferring to scientific reasoning?

You see this everyday right now during the pandemic. Policy making is very different from say, civil engineering, where failure scenarios can be quantified within tightly defined bounds. At the nation state level every decision may affect everybody. Nobody wants to be told their specific circumstances are the "statistical outliers". But science rarely gives good answers. The only time science has been reliable is when a large amount of resources is dedicated to figuring out answers in a single, specific problem. Unfortunately the life sciences don't have the luxury of physics and the formal sciences. There is no concerted level of effort to cure cancer that is comparable to the Apollo program. The military prefers to buy ten more hellfires than to redo life science ethics. If you quantify the ultimate utilitarian value, the damage ten missiles can do to humanity may be the same as a FDA that focus more on progress than covering their own ass. Yet the former is more acceptable than the latter. Science has failed because it no longer gives useful answers. When somebody's grandmother is lying sick in the hospital, they want a cure that is immediately accessible, not yet another feel-good post on Reddit or Facebook about "Scientists claim experimental cure for cancer found! Appearing in your friendly neighborhood pharmacy in ten years".

Entrenchment through network effect?

Gun DB is a good replacement.

Are the speech models sufficiently generic across all languages?

That's not a very valid argument in a thread about information security.

Considering the current target of deplatforming is the far-right, and given Germany's history specifically, they have a lot of reasons not to trust local hardware and software. The same goes for the Le Pen crowd in France, a somewhat adversarial government on the other side of the globe is often less risky than the status quo across the pond allied to the current French establishment.

The arrogance of software engineers to believe that a few joules saved would make a difference. Humanity can spread to the stars and we still won't make a significant dent in the overall entropy changes in the universe even after billions of years. Energy consumption is a false herring for moral superiority and control. Replace the traditional Church with environmental activists and you have your modern climate change politics. Climate change is primarily due to increased heat capture caused by emissions. We have plenty of ways to generate clean energy without harmful emissions, nor excuses for social control.

You should aim to grow out your e-commerce career. Companies like Amazon make the greatest difference to climate change as improved logistics benefits the entire supply chain. Mom and pop shops are great for romanticism and NYT hit pieces about the terrors of gentrification and white flight but their logistics are incredibly inefficient compared to efficiencies of scale offered by e-commerce. "Micro" low hanging fruit efforts like data visualization which these comment threads tend to favor make little difference. Grassroots won't solve climate change, you need changes in technologies that allow the emerging economies to no-strings-attached capture the value and benefits of economic growth without the side effects of pollution (that means convincing or forcing institutions like the World Bank/IMF to replace their onerous neoliberal funding requirements with only one: green technologies), you need systematic changes in federal policy, and you need restructuring of company operations to be more efficient. As a software engineer, the most effective thing that you can do is the latter.

Some of the data layouts are optimized for web compatibility rather than (purely) ease of hardware implementation.

Norway's scale of UBI is a lot less than the oil rich Arabic states' though. Those states may not have much civil liberties but material quality of life is undeniably not bad for most locals.

Is this open source? Deplatforming is a very big concern for a proprietary platform.

They are basically the counterexample for universal basic income.

And this is why we need to break down the apprenticeship based training system in medicine. The monopoly on knowledge that such a small group of people have is tremendously bad for society and more importantly, progress.

Galois, if you are listening, there is a billion dollar opportunity for building a provably secure SAP/Salesforce.

Does anyone still use ASP.NET Web Forms?

So a ThinkPad in Mac shell? Is the framework flexible enough to switch an Intel processor for AMD Ryzen without having to replace the entire motherboard?

They meant Mozilla having revenue, not GitHub.

More like binding to C++ is difficult, lack of free non-copyleft implementations, and general lack of advantages over Flutter/Electron. After all, Embarcadero Delphi is also very powerful and easy to use but nobody uses them for good reasons.

We have Fuchsia now.

Just wrap everything in an ARC and you will have a GC :)

Subscribed! Bloom is really cool, what's the current status on it?

I agree,Rust development for microservices and JSON APIs is quite doable. Your new book looks quite exciting. Is there a preview somewhere?

Rust is usable for web development if you consider vanilla Python Flask without extensions to be the pinnacle of all web frameworks. The abstraction level in non-nightly Rust frameworks is shockingly bad. Standard features like diffing and generating migrations that are found in mature ecosystems like Django/Laravel/ASP.NET/Prisma are non-existent in Diesel. There is no maintained, out-of-the-box authentication solution. The only framework that try to tackle some of these problems is Rocket and it has been perpetually in nightly despite stable Rust compatibility having been achieved last year. (Companies using Rust need to donate and sponsor more)

It will take a lot more than a single fungus to do the trick. Lactation and digestion in cows involve completely differently pathways. I am not sure why they insist on fungus, perhaps they are referring to genetically engineered yeast? Milk is primarily suspended fat in water. What is possible is to use a bacteria/microbe to convert plant matter to fat first and then use traditional industrial machinery to disperse it into water. However, you still need to find a way to remove the fiber that remains. Perhaps using a squeezer to extract the fats. All these will not truly replace real dairy, the result will be more akin to almond milk. Also, 2.5 million is absolutely peanuts. You need at least a magnitude higher funding unless you plan to outsource everything to India.

If you want an exact replica of the cow mammalian milk production process that is molecule-to-molecule compatible then you need at least two dozen tissue engineers. This is slightly beyond what a "fungus" to do.

> I am not a good programmer. To be clear, I’m not… bad. I can pass a coding interview. I’ve handcrafted huge repositories spanning multiple languages and machines, and I’m pretty proud of them. But wow, have I also written some bad code. Things that I’ll see a year later, whisper “What idiot did this?”, and slowly realize, through the fog of git commits, that I was that idiot.

This argument is circular logic because everyone has written bad code at some point in their life. Assuming that the author has not suffered any form of death between birth and now, and assuming that when he was born he had no knowledge of programming, by intermediate value theorem of course he has written bad code.

Yes, it allows certain investors to buy-in right before IPO.
