There are easier database-user level solutions to these problems than increasing ops-architecture with yet another layer of indirection. Personally this is why I hate dev-ops culture, no one knows how to use databases properly anymore. >

Use the Gingko App instead. It's even local these days. Whole tree of markdown in a single page, http://gingkoapp.com/

> that common of a pattern? The point of homoiconic languages like lisps, where the language is just the syntax tree, is that you can make your own nodes. `if-let` and `when-let` are patterns, they don't have to be common, the defin

I meant because Vilkan can make it transparent to use a couple of function calls to enable a second GPU for higher frame-rates. It's a significant API improvement and is cross platform.

In a more equal world like the western one we both (probably) live in, absolutely. In a place with strong gender roles (like the one in the article), being successful and female means being purposefully contrarian and acutely aware of gende

Like they have a choice? Did you see the part where it's basically impossible for women to succeed in business as any average man would because of this system?

Though Vulkan might finally unlock those powers in a cross-vendor, easy to use way, just in time for both technologies to die out anyway.

How do you think most estates started? Profiting off crime and leaving it to their family. The fundamental problems of capitalism include exactly this scenario.

This destroys capitalism, you can't move the criminal risk to the shareholders. Increased monetary risk, sure: like corporations convicted of crimes have to give money in restitution before making shareholders whole; or even go the nex

It's right there in the announcement, all the compiler support is already there this time around.

Someone builds the code, it doesn't have to be committed.

It's a court ordering it, they have the ability to require those sorts of things, it isn't doxxing someone if that person committed fraud.

I think you misunderstand. Even with code review policies, there is still a short list of people who can push to production without going through code review. Not from a policy standpoint but from a security and access perspective.

Yea exactly, there is only one problem it really solves, and it's already found it. Currency (and sure some stuff that touches it like smart contracts) is the one use case where all the blockchain's properties are useful. Everythi

My thing is that we should be charging/taxing the companies producing these sorts of emissions. But of course capitalism is about socializing the costs (fixing these emissions) and privatizing the profits.

Just use a vulkan implementation of opengl. OpenGL -> Vulkan -> Metal I can feel the performance gains already.

It's not that it distorts the market, but it's one reason why the assumption that markets some how solve the principle agent problem in the first place is wrong. My personal argument is that I don't believe markets solve

There is a method of solving an NP complete problem with millions of companies participating in stock markets? Your question is not related to my point. And you'd have to at least answer it for markets first before I would bother to tr

> It implies simply that markets are not efficient. No it implies that efficient market states are an NP complete problem. And that we are likely approximating the optimization of efficiency (of the allocation of resources) using markets
326.
by SolarNet 8y ago
This is why I support the authors research, without knowing if it even is NP complete (as this paper claims) we are faced with it being NP hard. Without studying the problem, we can't even begin to find approximation algorithms.

> The idea of the principle agent problem is that the best person who is able to understand their own wants and desires is the person themselves. I don't see how markets are supposed to solve that when we allow countries with slaves

Sure, but significant facts come out of it: * Economic systems are optimization algorithms on an NP hard problem. Hence markets have no special efficiency capabilities, they are simply a choice of optimization algorithm, there may be better

On 1: That's exactly the point of this paper. That's what the EMH claims, and what this paper is linking to P=NP. If this paper is correct then markets are not violations of P=NP, and a lot of economists are wrong (or P=NP). On 2:

by SolarNet 8y ago
On two, as this appears to be a cross disciplinary paper, it's important to consider that some economists currently claim markets are efficient (the efficient market hypothesis, which is like a big open question in economics). By drawi
