What's wrong with this? Starting out in sales with a three year (not very well paid) apprenticeship still sounds a lot better to me than paying for college for four years, amassing a huge amount of debt and then going to work in sales afterwards with zero real world experience.

Not overly complex, but overly simple. I wish people talking about physics learn for the last time that analogies are a horrible way to explain a complex concept that at best adds an unnecessary translation layer increasing cognitive load and at worst hand waves away the most critical parts.

Short term gratification vs. long term thinking may be a common factor in both smoking and poverty.

Perhaps in the past more rich smoked because it wasn't so manifest how bad smoking was for a person.

Also culture. In more well off circles being a smoker may raise an eyebrow or two now as opposed to the past.
You are right and I think half of the people here did not understand the difference between 'Duales Studium' and 'Duale Ausbildung'.

But on the other hand, I don't quite get what the Universities have to do with the dual education System?!? I mean, as far as I know, Universities are specialized in higher education.
If water is really that scarce there ( = expensive), they are most likely using a much more water-efficient process than the typical pulp factory close to arid wood resources. The rough ballpark numbers for "water use in paper production" include a majority of factories located in places where investment in water reuse facilities simply does not work out economically, and quite possibly not even ecologically.

> You can't start a science textbook like that.

'Music theory books' make no claim to be scientific. Western music is a cultural construct and there are books that explain how to practice this particular field. For insiders, the three initial statements the author attempts to burn down make perfect sense. What it means to locate a (part of) a music piece in a 'harmonic system' makes just as much sense to musicians as the rest of us calling a lollypop 'sweet'. I wouldn't criticise cooks for not describing taste by the molecular contents of their ingredients.

While it's interesting to dissect music differently from how musicians may analyse it, completely rejecting local experts' understanding of a phenomenon runs counter to finding out more. Is a farmer a complete fail whale for knowing when to plant his crops based on when a certain type of flower first blooms, rather than the precise position of the earth relative to the sun?

If I would only read music theory by this author, I would still not have a clue how to play the piano. He/she wastes a lot of words on what could otherwise be described as the difference between Metis and Techne, or local knowledge and technical knowledge.

I pasted two long quotes about the distinction between Metis and Techne here: https://pastebin.com/ZYKJDFRN
Because, again, learning the interface does not replace what the software cannot do. People who have both learned gimp and who need photoshop for their jobs are tired of hearing these lecture points.

I write a lot because I want to clearly explain my points on the Internet where there's no verbal nuance. Sorry if it was too much. Are you really criticizing me for thorough explanation on a discussion forum?

Edit: I should probably qualify that in the capacity I use photoshop it's kind of a moot point anyway, since I depend on illustrator just as much and the convenience of smart objects and the interoperability with stuff like libraries are more than worth the price of admission for me.

I built a legal app years ago. One problem I had getting investors is that the legal market is so small. Microsoft dropped it as a vertical years ago. Corporate law is even a smaller segment of the legal industry. VC law is an even smaller segment of corporate law. How big is the market for this product?

Edit: I see from their website they claim it is a "$96 billion industry". There are only 1.3 million active lawyers in the U.S. (ABA), so I am curious what this number represents.

Completely subjective. I'm not sure the purpose of your post. Are you telling everyone what is more luxurious to them or just giving your singular opinion for yourself? Assuming the latter, it appears to add little to the discussion.

With that spin, sure it would seem that way. You might consider it "Warfare" if the poor were being forced to smoke, or say there weren't pictures of cancer on the cover of the packages of cigarettes, or minors were allowed to smoke or there wasn't a huge vice tax on cigarettes essentially everywhere in the world, and a ban on cigarette advertising in most countries then yeah if you ignore all of that you might consider it class warfare...
Yes, exactly. Here's the type signature for `cast`:

cast : Cast from to => from -> to

So if the types `from` and `to` are part of the `Cast` typeclass, then cast will always convert one into the other, without "failing". The standard library defines a handful of "sensible" casts like Int to Float, but you can't even attempt to cast a function to a String, or a List to an Int, since those aren't part of the `Cast` typeclass.

For an operation that can fail, like a parse method, a more appropriate return type is `Maybe Int`, or `Either String Int` (where the `String` is an error message).

Also Idris provides a dependently-typed way to connect the check (`all isDigit (unpack input)`) to the conversion itself (`cast input`), so that you can't write an invalid check or forget to include the check at all. See my reply to vosper above.

It would be enormously, impossibly wasteful for anything to come around and replace Amazon. It'd be like replacing Google. You're basically talking market chaos and massive supply chain disruption, probably to the point of extensive loss of life: you'd be surprised how much depends on these giant, government-like systems.

Personally, I think the poster suggesting that Amazon may start lobbying for basically welfare, is onto something. What if they lobbied for a massive redistribution scheme where half the excess/arbitrageous profits made by the 0.001% are redistributed to the 99.999% in the form of Amazon store credit and only Amazon store credit?

Since that is either already, or will inevitably be, the single most efficient distribution network by which you could get goods and resources to the populace in a market system?
Here comes store automation and hefty lay-offs?

If it's any consolation, this was just a matter of time. The next 30 years will be "interesting."

I mostly like Market Basket. Prices are good and around me they upgraded a couple stores that were smaller and the worse for wear. They carry things other stores don't. On the other hand bread and fish particularly tend to be weak.
Those don't seem related to me at all. Quipu was an Incan record-keeping system that we don't understand well. Abaci are very ancient calculation devices that don't use writing. The oldest Mesopotamian and Roman versions were just a table with pebbles on it. And that's where we get the word for "calculate".

Dual education in Germany is not only about apprenticeships. Your knowledge seems to be even more limited than the author's.

There are several dual education tracks, some advanced ones exist since the 70s. Clearly not a novelty. It's also not about the 'majority' of people, since the German education system is diverse and does provide various alternatives to the usual/classical University education.

There are even many dual education offerings which integrate Ausbildung and Studium.

I personally hired people who were from dual track education in software development a decade ago.

Online delivery of groceries so far has been tough for any company to pull off because of customers' concerns about the quality of meat and produce, Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter said. But if customers know that what they are getting is the same as what they'd get at the local store, they are more likely to try it out.
Mixed-race might work?
For this gigantic assumption of a comment to have any merit whatsoever you would have to show that:

1/ Poor people actually shop at amazon in a significant way
2/ The massive job and wage losses Amazon causes in the poor community are insignificant compared to the "wage gains" #1 would imply.

I suspect both assumptions are false. This sounds like a comment from someone in a bubble like SF where lots of people have the disposable income to buy everything online. People in the rest of the country live very differently.

Hyperchange predicts Whole Foods acquisition 3 months ago
Clean as you go sure, but in a twisted and janky codebase, full of absurdist abstract factories and eerie hall-of-mirrors template meta-programming, you have watch your step.

Deep, deep in the code there are bugs which have lain undististurbed for eons. Scrape away some cmake pus, sprinkle in the mandatory security fixes, sure no problem. But dig to deep with the 'WTF were they thinking reimplementing the preprocessor?' shovel and you'll wake the helter-skelter bugs from their heisencave into reality.

Also, you mustn't awake the Balrog. The possibly bearded old programmer, he used to be a Hero programmer, a mythical 10x coder, and he thinks he owns ALL THE CODE. He will revert your SCCS checkin and put the GOTOs back in the code.

Cool, thanks! That's a lot different than I remembered. Good to know.
I'm offering a reasoned analysis of what the actual effects of smoking a cigarette are and whether those things are widely considered luxurious. If you're addicted, sure, smoking offers a great luxury in taking the money off your back for a while. If you're not addicted and don't have some other physical need (e.g. untreated mental illness), it offers a pretty mild buzz and a lot of negatives.

But regardless, wouldn't this be more appropriate as a reply to the parent, who made the initial claim that cigarettes are luxurious and didn't present any reasons for it?
I use IntelliJ for coding and Emacs for mail (mu4e) and the combination seems to be good for me. Emacs is great for editing code, but for Java and SQL, IntelliJ does so much more.

The Mac mail app would be totally sufficient for me if it could handle complex searches over the volume of mail I have with speed, but it just doesn't. It helps that I'm in an organization with a disproportionate number of Linux users; I don't get any Outlook attachments or other Microsoft nonsense in my inbox.
I find my Atom is plenty fast, as long as I don't bloat it with too many (and the wrong kinds) of plugins. The large file problems were almost a deal-breaker for me but then I switched to the latest beta and that fixed those problems.

That said, I am not 100% sold on it yet. The killer feature of Atom.io for me is that it is cross-platform. For most developers that shouldn't matter but have been working on some platform-agnostic web development tutorials and for that use case, there really isn't any valid alternative.

Maybe I was not clear -- I am not arguing for proprietary datasets. Validation on publicly available data is a key component in comparisons, assessments, etc.

However, there is a whole bestiary of open source licenses that span the spectrum of "use any way you want" to much more restrictive. But they were mostly thought through for software and data is different; what may prevent proprietary abuse in software may not have any teeth for data.
If someone wants to take up a certain trade, why is it stupid to teach him the necessary skills for that trade? It seems much less wasteful to me than a system in which everyone goes to college for four years and racks up a bunch of debt for an education that is ultimately of little value to most.
Amazon's not fake. Enron was basically fake: Uber is a closer match to Enron than Amazon will ever be. Amazon is no hype-supported tech unicorn. They are basically a supply network to the Nth power, run by dedicated maniacs willing to destroy themselves to prevail, and executed by a combination of incredible capital utilization (in the form of physical warehouses, robots, automation, systems design) and human exploitation (what jobs can't be automated yet are handled by that more sophisticated robot, the desperate peak-performance human).
There's some subjective aspect to this as well. I smoked off and on for over 10 years. I quit several years ago and don't want for money. But still, to be 100% honest, I've yet to find anything as enjoyable as a cigarette. Its like a tiny espresso that gives an instant rush that I can revisit as often as I'd like. It fits into my 5 minute break mindset. It gives me a reason to (briefly) talk to people I don't know. I could go on, but overall I wasn't just addicted to them. I honestly enjoyed many things about them. If they weren't so unhealthy, I would be happily smoking today. And I would gladly trade a great majority of the other pleasures in my life for them. I say this because there's two themes so far in these comments, but I didn't notice this one. For many people, smoking is a legitimately enjoyable, cheap experience, on top of being insanely addictive. Its not surprising that they are so hard to be rid of.

Aren't the Ocaml and F# examples relying on some dedicated compiler support for the format string type, though? The Idris example is interesting because its printf implementation can actually be written in Idris.
This was a digital recording onto a professional digital system. It was put through a Nyquist filter.

Then again, is "accurate" in some mathematical sense the right term? Which one sounds more like music? Among audio professionals, there's a broad consensus that tape sounds better - enough so that there is a strong market for digital plug-ins that emulate the (mis)behavior of tape.
I didn't go into the details, because, well, that was more a side aspect of the blogpost.

Technically you're right. However how you're setting these things depends on your needs. Let's assume you have a server where several people develop software on. You may want to allow them to create core dumps for debugging purposes. Whether you set a hard or soft limit thus depends on your use case.

I'd say usually setting a soft limit is good enough. Yes, this means users can lift the limit, however if they play with the ulimit coredump setting I assume they know what a coredump is, thus it should be okay.

Another fun Silane fact for you - The auto-ignition temperature is right around room temperature / a bit lower, and pure silane burns with "invisible" colorless flames!

I worked at a semiconductor equipment manufacturer, and the silane gas delivery systems had to have separate flame detectors (from the normal one's we used) in the gas boxes for cutting off the gas supply because of this risk. We also had special strobe lights in the building with a sign below them indicating "Silane Pad on Fire if flashing", to let us know the gas bottle out behind the building (gas was piped in) was likely burning, since you wouldn't know from looking out the door / window unless you got close enough to feel the heat!

Luckily, I never experienced a silane fire, but for a point, I did design and implement the safety system for an experimental ion implant system, which used silane along with other nasty process gases containing arsenic, boron and other dopants. Cool job, but the stress of "make sure you get this right" was a lot higher than other software jobs I've had, haha!
