Rick and Morty did it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_qvy82U4RE

Rick and Morty screw up the universe they're in, so they just hope sideways to a universe where their dopplegangers died seconds ago. They bury their bodies in the yard and take their place in that universe. The graves are still there in the backyard with rotting corpses in them. So, to Summer, it seems like Morty belongs there, but Morty knows that the original version of him died and he's a transplant from a parallel universe. But, the universes are almost entirely identical, so it's almost like being in his original universe.

The secret is not to think about it too much.

My favorite theory regarding Rick and Morty is that each episode doesn't necessarily follow the "same" characters. If there are an infinite number of Ricks and Mortys, in an infinite variety of situations, many of which are indistinguishable from each other, then it doesn't matter if you tune in to the "same" characters each time.

I think that's a practical answer to the philosophical navel gazing. Each thing that exists is its own thing, regardless of how similar it might be to another thing. The universe is infinite so just deal with as much of it as you can manage and don't worry about the rest.
> What are we ideally working towards? A world where everyone must avoid a defined level of risk (including certain level of dress!), or one where any of us can walk anywhere with an expectation that we won't be abused by another one of us? I'd like to think the latter.

The latter...but we have to live in the world as it is, not the world that we hope to someday achieve.

If I were to put on a top of the line Rolex watch, pick up an expensive laptop in one hand, and $100k cash in the other hand, and take a stroll alone at night through a major city's most gang controlled, crime riddled, neighborhood and found myself involuntarily relieved of watch, laptop, and cash, I think people would be justified in putting some of the blame for the robbery on me even though I would also be the victim.

> it tends to be much easier to provide good error messages with a recursive-descent parser

It is not any more complicated with a parser generator (if it's a PEG-based one). In fact, it's much easier, you're avoiding a lot of boilerplate this way.

> There's also something to be said for not having a dependency on an extra tool

Do not have a dependency on an extra tool. Use a meta-language, in which a parser generator can be embedded as a first class language feature.

Simplification instead of piling up, clarifying and redoing right, as understanding grows, instead of adding extensions (like crippled lambdas to Java) and reduction to closest approximation to the [unattainable] optimum (smallest possible, well balanced set of mutually complementing each other features, like in R5RS) in general - is the right way.

I hope Swift will eventually stop piling up features and will try to get back to the right fundamentals too.)

Economic models that don't claim to predict real world behaviour are like thought experiments (with more maths). Their purpose is to help people understand that small isolated part of the whole, because a model that includes all the complexities of the real world would be incomprehensible.

Nonetheless, many of these models are still falsifiable. For example, the textbook model of the benefits of trade due to comparative advantage only contains two countries and two goods. Although extremely simplistic, the theory does have falsifiable predictions and there is good empirical evidence supporting the broad theory. But this simple model will not be able to accurately predict how much a particular country will benefit from free trade.

My current SaaS app PressKitHero (https://presskithero.com) started out as a Shopify App (https://apps.shopify.com/presskithero).

I did zero marketing for the Shopify App. All I did was put it in the Shopify App Store. It gets good reviews, and a steady stream of new installs. About 10% of installs then convert into paying customers. Right now (after 6 months), the app is doing about 800$ in MRR.

I think for solo software developers, who struggle with marketing, the Shopify App Store is a really good place to get started.

Changing the price so that you're 1-1 with supply and demand is not usually the most wise thing to do. There's price elasticity complications, etc.

A price hike can:

(a) alienate and drive away existing customers,

(b) not replace them with new ones (because you suddenly play in another price league where are established "expensive" products there)

(c) make the product seem to be priced ridiculously for what it is, and thus drive off most potential customers, even if demand at the lower price level was strong.

Um.
That is a big if. Nobody has data for all transactions occurring in real time and nobody knows all the socioeconomic factors for all the actors.

Even if you did have all of that data, you would still be missing a lot of data. For example, an important factor in economics is asymmetric information. An actor's decision may be optimal given the information available to them at the time even if the decision is suboptimal given perfect information. So for an even more accurate model, you would also need to have data on what each actor knows at any given point in time.

Furthermore, an actor probably does not have the ability to calculate the optimal outcome given the information available and there are innumerable subjective factors in economic decision making.

Big data will help you find some kind estimate, but it will not suddenly make economic modelling simple.

> If the seniority of two particular judges happened to be exactly equal, they would not shake hands at all.

Somewhat similar to Buridan's Ass.

... an ass that is equally hungry and thirsty is placed precisely midway between a stack of hay and a pail of water. Since the paradox assumes the ass will always go to whichever is closer, it will die of both hunger and thirst since it cannot make any rational decision to choose one over the other.

Aside from very much needed java 8 support in 2.12, Scala, IMO, has little need for more bells and whistles. Making a sound and coherent foundation instead would be much appreciated.

DOT is just the name of the calculus used to prove the core of the language (and Dotty the name of the new compiler). It won't appear often in the literature meant for the general public so I don't think there will be much confusion.
Start by having a fair policy that protect everyone involved, without ignoring complaints.

1# All complaints will be investigated

2# All accusation of crimes will be forwarded to the police.

3# All details will be held behind locked doors, including the name/s of the accused and name/s of the accuser.

4# Actions will be taken if policy has been broken, as per a impartial committee that is picked by the community. Actions will also be taken if anyone is found guilty of a crime by the justice system.

Interesting, didn't know the flowers' type would affect honey crystallization.

The problem I see is that there is not much regulation and inspection going on with smaller bee-keepers. Which is great on one side, because you have many hobbyists who take pride in what they do and produce really great honey - but on the other hand it makes one wonder why some of the honey doesn't crystallize. I guess I will not be so fast to judge then. :-) Thanks!
Probably. At this stage, the integration with PayPal is as much for the user's benefit as it is the company's (Stripe has an easier integration path, and is elegant from a back end perspective), and it isn't the customers concern that a supplier might have their account frozen. We're looking at this from a company/developer perspective, but that's not the driver for it any more.

It should be noted that most Database supported by cloud providers are actually MySQL (compatible) database. While Amazon supports a managed Postgres Database as well, I would bet that their own MySQL database – Amazon Aurora – works best because it integrated best into the AWS eco system. Same goes for Google, unlike Amazon, the only managed Database they offer is a MySQL database (called Cloud SQL).

I'm not disagreeing with your arguments (quite the opposite in fact), but that might be an important point to use MySQL over Postgres.

>Can someone explain to me how Ethereum fulfils the "dream of having a truly decentralised web"?

It doesn't. It's hyped up bullshit.

Every Ethereum node runs the exact same code (single threaded too) with heavy computing and storage restraints. There's no sharding or load balancing. Can you run the entire reddit website on a single 90s computer? The answer is no.

Don't get me wrong, Ethereum is an interesting experiment and blockchains are useful for a number of things, but the notion of "lets put everything on the blockchain" is a shitty, terribly inefficient solution looking for a problem.

> It also means that the main designer of the Scala language is not working on Scala

No, it means that person is not working only on Scala, or rather the current implementation of Scala. People can work on multiple projects over the course of a year/years.

> on a language that will "eventually" become the future of Scala

You changed "Is it the future Scala? Yes, it will be - eventually" (I think can best be reworded "eventually be the future Scala") to "eventually become the future of Scala." To me, those have different connotations. The former means that it's not finished yet, but when it is it will be the base of Scala at that time. The latter implies, to me, that at some time in the future this will be the base of Scala at some time further in the future.

> which means that, right now, dotty is not the future of Scala

And here's where that different meaning leads you wrong. dotty is the future of Scala right now, but it's not that future Scala yet.

> A lot of very smart people seem to be very excited about that, I can't help but find it ominous.

People are generally happy to have to the creator of something they like working on its future.

Scala is being maintained. Improvements and releases are being made in the meantime. More than one person can work on Scala, and a single person can work on multiple aspects of Scala. Big changes like dotty are being carefully planned and executed at the same time other changes are made. People are excited that Scala is continuing to evolve and becoming a better language, and that a beloved innovator/creator is playing a significant role in that.

> It is awfully high risk and awfully low reward for Russia to hack the DNC right before the 2016 election. The Democrats are likely to win, and they'll come into office with a fresh memory of Russia having screwed with them.

The Russian government is jonesing rather openly for a Trump win, so even if it is a bad decision on their part it seems quite likely they went ahead and did it anyway. If Clinton does win it certainly wouldn't be the first time that Putin's eagerness to square up to the US has left him in a situation where he generated American antagonism for no particular benefit to Russia. I get the impression that the Russian government enjoys its own infowars escapades a bit more than is healthy for it, and likely overrates their effectiveness a bit.

Besides, I'm not sure it really is a clearly bad decision (from a Machiavellian perspective, of course). Relations between Russia and the Clintons, the US foreign-policy set etc. seem to have already got so bad that it's not clear that even a fairly big provocation like this is likely to cause US actions to be that much more hostile than they would be anyway. For example, if Clinton gets in it seems there's a near-certainty of a big and imminent intensification of US/Russian proxy conflict, especially in Syria. Conversely if Trump does win the likely changes in US foreign policy promise to be a major and enduring victory for putinismo: it's a rare opportunity, and Trump's odds of winning aren't (yet, at least) a hopeless long-shot.
The Marching Band that blew Sia’s mind about using a mobile app
In C#, can you create an array of (x, y, z) tuples, where x, y and z are floats, and the whole array is store contiguously, without any indirection? Last time I checked C# documentation, it wasn't possible, but maybe I missed something.

Edit:

Ok, I definitely missed something ;-) I checked again C# documentation and kasey_junk is right. The tuple can be implemented as a struct, which is a value type (not a reference type), and arrays items are stored in contiguous memory. This is a big advantage of C# over Java (value types are planned for a future version of Java).

I use Extempore by Andrew Sorensen, which grew out of his Impromptu work [1]. It is a livecoding environment with its own language xtlang (vs. Clojure on the VM for Overtone). Watch some of his videos linked on the site, or on YouTube. Pretty incredible.

Lately, I realized I am not much of a livecoder in the same respect that I am not a performing musician. I have now picked up Euterpea again, a Haskell-based livecoding environment that you can compose at the signal or note level, but it is not really suited for live performance [2].

Grace, an all-in-one download, multi-platform, scheme-based music coding environment based upon Common Music (CM) is a great way to start without having to do much setup. It has great tutorials and samples in the menu under Help [3].

Livecoding is definitely more popular overseas than in the U.S. although there was recently an algorave in NY this year.

This actually discussed in Cooks Illustrated this month (issue 141 pg 28). They say to add a small amount of corn syrup to honey to stop crystalization.

To quote some bits "honey crystalizes when moisture evaporates and individual sugar molecules interlock ... corn syrup never crystalizes because it contains fragments of glucose chains"

So it seems like adding sugar (sucrose) doesn't do anything to stop crystalizing, but glucose does?
