I spent some time about 10 years back learning J, it was (next to Forth and kin) a great way to learn about tacit programming. However, I found the programs being discussed in the J discussion lists completely impenetrable. I liked it for what I could express, but I hated it because I couldn't understand what others had done (making sharing work very challenging). However, it is, due to its brevity, rather useful for hand notated code.

I actually thought this was going in a different direction:

This is Iverson discussing APL (predecessor language of J) and its utility/advantages as a notational tool. In particular, something that I find interesting to see here since I just reread (most of) it, is a mention of ad hoc notations introduced as needed by the user. What today we would call domain specific languages.

So far, the best single-page elliptic curve primer for generalist programmers I know of is Adam Langley's:

https://www.imperialviolet.org/2010/12/04/ecc.html

I understand the urge to try to get a high-level grok of curves without much math, but I spent years bouncing off the outermost surface of curve understanding by trying to start with the curve picture and the intuitive geometry of curve shape, and what finally made curves click for me (and quickly) was to simply take the curve equation --- which is itself high school math! --- and play with it a bit.

So if you're a programmer and you want a baseline understanding how curves work, do what you'd do with any other subject you're trying to understand: pop open an editor, take the Weierstrass curve equation, pick a y, solve for x; then do it in a finite field (ie, mod a prime). Then write an "add", then a "scalar mult". It's a couple hours of noodling, tops.

As always, but particularly with curves, remember that the basic understanding of what's going on is nowhere nearly enough to ever use them safely!

> I'd much rather live in Japan as a Japanese person or in Switzerland as a "Swiss" than in a country where my demographic is being overrun by another.

If you have this attitude you won't like Japan very much then. Not only has Japan spent the last 25 years coming to terms with a more open society and economy, but they're recognizing now that if they don't make citizenship more accessible for immigration and accept they are not a "nation of one race" (as many in power have previously pandered) they're teetering towards a national collapse.

> I truly hope Japan keeps its doors shut to foreigners seeking to move there. Today, you can walk down any of the streets of Tokyo without batting an eyelash. Try doing the same in Chicago.

Unless you are, you know, a woman. Or homeless.

Your opinion of Japan seems somewhat romanticized and influenced by media that over-simplifies it. That itself is pretty disrespectful to a country that's struggling to define and redefine itself in a modern world.

Maybe try studying what Japan is, instead of suggesting the legacy of imperialist nationalism should he cherished.

They recently voted to become a state. Certain groups don't want that to happen for some reason.

A referendum on the political status of Puerto Rico was held in Puerto Rico on June 11, 2017. The referendum had three options: becoming a state of the United States, independence/free association, or maintaining the current territorial status. Those who voted overwhelmingly chose statehood by 97%

Dow Jones: 'Google acquires Apple' news was 'error'
Yeah, I'll reluctantly reveal I'm a 'programmer' sometimes, but most the times I'll avoid the question. It's especially true in certain cities, where the first thing people ask you is "Where do you work/What do you do?". DC and SF are terrible with this, and if the wrong person finds out you can program they'll bother you all night with terrible ideas they want you to implement for them when all you want to do is get drunk.
This is a nicely designed site and some good data feeds. There is a big difference between spread, and arbitrage. Critically, any attempt to track arbitage needs to watch the orderbook rather than the last-trade-price. Ironically, the bid/ask spread on the same exchange isnt part of arbitrage. The difference between the total available bids on exchange A and the total available asks on exchange B (or vice-versa), is the opportunity.

I wrote and ran an arbitrage tracking site for a few years and eventually stopped because there did not seem to be viable way to take advantage of cross-exchange spreads. Sell-Move-Buy didn't work because moving coins took days. Having a pile of each kind of coin on each change is fast but defeats the point of arbitrage because the pile itself it subject to the price changes that arbitrage is made to avoid.

The chart below shows the result of looking at the orderbook of different BTC exchanges, seeing how much was actually offered at a winning price on other changes, computing the total, and taking into account exchange fees (more or less)

I recently started my own thing in the bay area, and no matter what the topic is people say "congratulations" when they find out I'm doing my own startup or the CEO or Co-founder of the operation.

I get it, people think I have all this capital and earned the ability to take the risk, or have the validation from the backers, and they wish they did. But that just lacks context right now.

I find this comment frustrating because the "macro-politics and big concepts" end up mattering a lot. This is politics. It's about what's right, what's fair, and notions of equality/fairness. You can't talk about politics without contrasting notions of "right".

The way I see it, this whole conversation is just a proxy for money. The suburb doesn't have enough; it has no tax base and can't afford its municipal services. What they want to do is attach to a city and use the city's services. Now, there might be efficiencies of scale with service delivery to a larger population. But if you look at the history of many large cities in the US, many suburbs made the conscious choice not to be part of the city precisely because they didn't want the higher taxes, on sales, on property, on income, etc. that living in a city requires.

You say "renew the infrastructure". Are you writing the check? Your comment seems to assume we can just invent money out of thin air.

I'll be honest, I'm pretty fed up with this entire bailout mentality. I live in a high-tax, high-expense city. Meanwhile, I pay the federal universal service fee so that someone in Nowhere, USA can have a phone. I see low taxes on carbon emission, mortgage interest deductions on huge suburban palaces, a massive expressway system, agricultural subsidies, a postal service that charges the same rate to deliver mail across town as to Nowhere, USA, and I'm just tired of it. And I'm also tired of last generation passing the cost of their bad decisions on to us, in the form of underfunded pensions, a major housing crisis engineered by the Boomer generation, and 100% of GDP federal debt.

So yeah, guilty as charged re: "macro-politics and big concepts", but, enough is enough. If these people couldn't be bothered to move as their city crumbled over the last, I don't know, 30 years, I'm just not crying, as I pay through the nose for rent in a big city.

I don't think it would be fair if the city paid for it. The direct cost would go to them and the direct benefit to others.

In that situation, the problem has to be solved on the level above. The State as a whole should pay the cost, since it is the State as a whole that would benefit.

I would think that the rest of the sentence that you deleted is important to understanding the vote.

; turnout, however, was 23%, a historically low figure.[3] This figure is attributed to a boycott led by the pro-status quo PPD party.[4]
Great, we now have "fake votes", too?
I agree it is difficult to quantify the costs, but I wanted to get an idea.

A quick analysis shows that while a system like BART may operate at a loss of about one dollar per trip, that is not far off from the costs of operating our car and road network. Based on average fuel economy, and road expenses the state of California subsidies driving at a rate of about 6.2 cents per mile. I didn't find any hard sources, but a few references that the average commute may be about 12 miles. That would make the average subsidy for a commute to be about $0.75.

- BART looses about a dollar per trip:
(https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2015/06/how-much-mone...)
- California gas tax covers 22.7% of road costs: (https://taxfoundation.org/gasoline-taxes-and-tolls-pay-only-...)
- Average fuel economy is 23.6 miles / gallon in the USA: (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/12/13/cars-...)
- The gas tax is 48.6 cents per gallon.

Math:
- Total road expense per gallon of gas sold: 0.486/0.227 = $2.14
- Subsidy: 2.14-0.486 = $1.65
- Per mile $1.65/26.6 = $0.062
That was true 30 years ago, but is not longer the case.
Not a real doctor then? ;-)
You left out the rest of the sentence:
"Those who voted overwhelmingly chose statehood by 97%; turnout, however, was 23%, a historically low figure."
The Costco membership isn't expensive to maintain (though, sure, even that can be a barrier.) Getting to Costco (which are fairly widely spaced) and transporting/storing the quantities of things that Costco often sells as the minimum quantity are probably bigger barriers.
Not necessarily. Chicago is experiencing a trend where the city center and north/west side are booming but the inner suburbs are slowly dying while the outer suburbs are booming.
Note that the percentage was that high only because of a boycott by the anti-statehood faction. But I’d expect that any attempt to actually grant statehood would be preceded by a new, binding referendum that wouldn’t be boycotted - or at least elections.

Well voting for president in the US only 57% vote of available voters[1], even lower in non presidential votes or midterms at 40% [2], so is that also not valid since everyone doesn't vote? People choose to vote, if people don't vote to have their say that is their own bad.

In the US, if only 57% of people vote, you could say our president is only elected by less than about 30% of the people with the popular vote, half the eligible voters or about a third of the country.

It's not the tone - it's the fact that one uses a natural disaster for self-promotion while the other does it to inform the populace about the extent of damage.
In many of those places you list, much of the economic activity--maybe most of it--is actually spread out over the suburbs associated with the city rather than being within the city limits. And this was certainly true prior to a lot of large businesses moving into places like San Francisco and Boston over the past 10-20 years. [ADD: And if you do go back a few decades, there were lots of examples of prosperous suburbs and cities which, if not failing, weren't in great shape.]

Animal cruelly plain and simple. This isn't simple killing but torture, the deliberate infliction of unnecessary pain, on an animal. Such rituals are to be studied by academics but not celebrated.

What really gets me is the obvious role this ritual plays. It is a baby-killing game. It is meant to harden people against the slaughter of a being raised as a member of the family. It was raised as more than a pet. Women nursed this animal. Then they tortured it to death. How did those women feel? Watching such things, accepting them as normal, makes killing of friends and family that much easier. This is torture being used to enable more torture and is far from unique. Shall we also celebrate how our ancestors trained themselves to be cruel? Should the British Navy celebrating the grand traditions of whipping sailors?
