...still no "Urbit for mere mortals guide" or something like this?

Or even a "how to do X with Urbit" where X could be anything.

Sorry, but no matter how great the ideas, until they can show an explanation anyone can understand it's all worthless. If you try hard enough you can explain block-chain and bitcoin and ethereum to a poet or painter or politician. Won't be easy, but you'll get somewhere.

Whereas their:

...makes absolutely no sense whatsover to anyone, despite the plain words used. What's the correspondence, analogy, what abstracts what, what does what?! No place for your mind to even start chewing this. With this you can't even explain Urbit to a mathematician or to a philosopher... let alone to Joe Average or Frank Underwood.

So why aren't the sellers before PE and buyers after PE aware of the fact that no value is being added by PE in the interim, and hence sell cheaply and overpay?

> in India there is a free food available in many big temples, but for some reasons lots of people prefer to eat at home

Okay, it needs some clarification :-)

The free meal is supposed to be for people who need it but can't afford it but not supposed to be on a regular basis - for the destitute and people in general who find it difficult to buy a meal. But they (called "langars" at Gurudwaras, run by the Sikh community) never turn anyone away (regardless of faith or background or anything). Never! Some other temples and even some mosques do that, but it's not at all "all are welcome" like langars. So not the temples. So purpose isn't to be the meal provider even though they wouldn't return anyone.

So those langars aren't meant for eating in general for people. Also, people are not often alone. There are families with them and it would be very hard to conceive eating at those temples with entire families.

> In India people do not run after money per se, but for social status, which is a cornerstone of the Indian culture.

That is not entirely true. Like any other place people of course go for status and respect but saying that Indians don't go for money is missing the point. As a matter of fact money is a driving factor here. Especially for the people for whom this plan might be aimed at - the people below the fringe. There's a term here "BPL" - below poverty line. And trust me when I say it "Poverty Line" is estimated so generously that it is a shame even from a developing country standards. Otherwise a lot more people would have fallen below poverty line here.

You are spot on about rampant corruption which is uniformly present at every level - bottom to top. But remember that starts right at the top or bottom - depending at how you want to look at it.

Govt is aiming at giving the people bank accounts too and hope it catches up and succeeds.

I would agree this is a much needed resource for humanity to move forward and overcome our food crisis. While there is a lot of information out there for farming in soil, there is nearly no information for hydroponics. The information isn't transferable either. In hydroponics there are meant growing techniques and depending on those techniques there will be different tolerances for plant spacing and water requirements. The level of nutrients, light, pH, ds, etc should all remain the same however (unless it's aquaponics). The plant spacing and water requirements are a very large part though, and not knowing that definitely for each setup tends to cause startups a lot of time and money figuring this out.

I worked on 2 state of the art growing projects as the lead engineer and this is a huge hindrance on innovation in this field. I applied to YC research for a grant to continue work on this issue and make the results openly available but unfortunately I was not a finalist. If anybody knows of any other grants that are available which this type of research would be eligible for please let me know.

yes, to allude to a relationship to rate, hence reducing one form of ambiguity, (but not all possible ambiguities!).

non-clarity, and purposeful ambiguity is different. Also, be specific on one aspect (in this the on the point I was trying to make) and general else where (any other unrelated economic stuff) is not uncommon or inconsistent.

I've seen exponential learner mentioned a few times, but I'm not sure I understand exactly how that's supposed to be understood. It would seem like it's someone who's rate of learning goes up, the more he learns, but I'm not really sure how that is sustainable. Could someone explain me the difference between an exponential learner and someone with a high, linear rate of learning?

The child's doodle is something one ca see and understand. You can even try to psychoanalize it or whatever.

What I'm afraid is that there are some really powerful and valuable ideas in Urbit but they will evaporate away from humanity's gasp because there's no way to practically connect them to anything.

Also a child's doodle is something you can ignore or throw away and nothing will be lost... while this has some value in it...

(Edited because I saw they actually have an understandable mathematical formalism for all of it. Sorry for guessing otherwise.)
You're right, but what I should have emphasized is that if you accept that cos/sin are based in physical reality because they model a circle, then you have to have just as much faith in the dirac delta.

Cos/sin are infinitely precise, and can't be reduced to algebra (as opposed to calculus/analysis). This in itself is an idealisation, a fiction.Sin/cos seem natural because they model the ideal unit circle, while the dirac delta is natural because it models an ideal impulse. The latter seems more abstract than the former because we all have been exposed to unit circles, but usually we are not exposed to unit impulses.

You can apply a step function to a mass-spring-damper system, then observer the response. Thereafter, you can make the step function narrower but taller and observer the response. As you continue this process, the response approaches something simple. Maybe this way of thinking about the dirac delta in obvious to everyone, but to me it was a major breakthrough because I couldn't imagine how something infinitely tall and infinitely narrow could model anything in the real world.

So my ultimate takeaway message is that cos/sin are to an n-gon what the dirac delta is to a step function, and that they are just as "real" as one another. Alternately, the dirac delta doesn't work for "symbolic" or algebraic reasons. It's an idealisation of reality, not an abstraction _away_ from reality for the sake of convenience (e.g. how we sometimes artificiallyl define 0^0 (zero to the zero) to be 1 in some cases or 0 in other cases)).

> Yes, it doesn't have a web API. That's because there's no existing web API for low-level graphics of this nature. The question is, what this API should look like. It seems natural to answer this question with, "whatever is the standard outside of the web". Now, there isn't one - but Vulkan is the closest that we have.

The truth comes through even in the first part of the sentence containing "Vulkan".

User phire was even more honest(1)

"Everyone here (including me) is upset that Apple are refusing to support Vulkan (or even improve their existing OpenGL support)." "It doesn't really matter that the new API is targeting a completely different market to Vulkan. It doesn't really matter that a WebVulkan can't really exist in the first place. It doesn't matter if this is probally the correct starting point for a NextGen web graphics API."
"People just want Vulkan on MacOS and/or IOS."

Yep. It's not that I hate it, I just don't like it. The thing is that the functional-praisers are much more vocal about how they love it whereas people who write imperative do not care much about Haskell.

Having 1/3 of headcount in tech is completely normal for most banks and other financials (except retail banking). If you count all contractors and outsourced areas it'll probably be closer to 40-45%.

But most of that will be maintenance, rule checking, data entry, implementing regulatory changes, etc. Only a tiny amount of those will develop algorithms or work close to trading.

It's fine to make a push system, but you're most likely to still need pull mechanics anyway. If my component get a push from you, but I can see that I must have missed some events, I need to request them. You still need a heartbeat mechanics, so you know you would get all events.

Of course, if the events become irrelevant after the fact you don't need this, but only very few systems are like that.

If you can't use pointer arithmetic, you don't use pointers. Your language uses them internally, but not you. NullPointerException in Java/C# is a result of a leaky abstraction.
Probably right, just poorly worded. It's not just engineers, it's all staff in tech. Most of them will have a CS degree (or similar). Nearly none of them will develop trading algorithms. It's mostly about maintaining systems, fixing problems, updating regulatory changes, integrating third party data, etc.

Having a third of headcount in tech is not unusual for a bank nowadays.
Well if you use a poor implementation or the wrong algorithm then you're going to get poorer performance in any language. However, all things being equal, you're not going to get better performance from a higher level language and you certainly cannot fine tune the implementation for a particular platform as you can with lower level code - that's a fact. Now whether it is worthwhile doing that depends on each case and how long the process takes to execute. I often prototype in higher level languages including R, Python and C#. Once I need a professional implementation or put them into commercial software I use C even if the front end is written in C#. C is just orders of magnitude faster than C#, even when the C# multithreaded, is coded in unsafe mode and optimised and C is single threaded and compiled with no optimisation.

I envy your positive attitude. 3k€ of disposable salary per month in a huge European metropolis like Paris seems very low to me. That's roughly what a web developer with 3-5 years of experience can get in a mid-sized (400-600k) city here in Poland and the prices of virtually everything are way lower. 700eur can get you a nice 2-3 bedroom apartment in a very downtown of such city and transport, food, groceries, restaurants, cinema tickets are probably all 2-3 times cheaper than in Paris. I personally feel developers in big cities of Spain, France and Italy are getting screwed big time comparing with their counterparts in US or other places in Europe and even Asia.
