Even in the code I always figure out the types/schema first. If you get the shape wrong, everything that follows is also wrong

The death of autoconf could be one of the biggest wins for the software world

I'm mostly interested how the software stack for this compares to something like STM32.

Simultaneously, many developers reach for distributed systems too quickly when they could just buy more ram. Perhaps that’s what the writer means

How can this be attributed to light instead of other EM waves floating around

I think supabase leans quite heavily into this, although I haven’t used it myself. Row level security has been wonderful for multi tenancy in my experience though. I would highly recommend it.

Python makes way more sense to me than ruby

I don’t think that’s how Mathematica is developed. The vision seems to mostly be trying to model and encode the world regardless of how useful it appears to be. Unfortunately the modelling approach that is employed probably isn’t that usefu

I’m still in the think hard about the schema camp. I like to rely on the database to enforce constraints.

It seems fair to think of OR as a 'saturating' sum

I was imagining a more simultaneous exploration of bayer matrices, human eyes, and color. For example, that question of why 3 colors, or why 2 green pixels, opens the door effectively to a lot of ideas.

Interesting I wasn’t aware of that. Another thing I’ve only briefly read about is registering studies in advance, and quite literally preventing iteration.

by klysm 2y ago
I think a good explanation of color spaces might be starting at a camera sensor with a bayer array and how that’s processed.

What? Maybe in a very specific context where you are modeling joint distributions of people and traits, but that’s barely a critique of the method itself.

Not sure why this is being downvoted, as it’s mentioned peripherally in the article. I think it’s primary used as an extreme example of a model where the inner mechanism is entirely inscrutable.

by klysm 2y ago
The appropriateness of each approach is very much a function of what is being modeled and the corresponding consequences for error.

The no iteration thing is very real and I don’t think it’s even for particularly bad reasons. We iterate on models to make them better, by some definition of better. It’s no secret that scientific work is subject to rather perverse incentiv

You can make similarly small deployments with systemd. I’m not sure it’s that legitimate

I'm not sure what stop caring really means - like stop caring about the result, or the implications?

I definitely like materializing the transitions into a table instead of the switch statement

Alien syntax is not a valid critique

nit: I don't think _expensive_ is quite the right way to think about it. I view it as "hey, this function does IO". The actual cost of doing that IO varies immensely.

Certificate management is an interesting problem along the intersection of human behavior and computer science that feels similar to BGP. In theory, it's simple, but when met with reality things get messy really really fast.

Depends on the language. In typescript and interface can absolutely encode shape. In C# you can encode shape in interfaces via properties. Interfaces don’t even describe behavior, it’s just that we typically associate them with a man implic

I agree with the philosophy at a high level, but opening up the power of what you can do at compile time is a very deep and nuanced trade off space. I think there’s a more general way to state what you’re getting after as well: we should be

The definition by itself without intuition of application is of little use
