To be fair Perl 6 returns structured data from regexes, whereas Perl 5 returns flat data. That has huge implications on how different the regex sub-languages gets parsed. It also has a significantly different syntax, and integrates more into the rest of the language. Basically it had to be created from scratch, so that would mean that it couldn't benefit from the already existing optimizations of the Perl 5 regex engine.

Perl 6 is also a mostly unpaid volunteer effort. So everybody gets to choose what they work on, and very few people are brave enough to work on that aspect of the compiler.

Also I would say that the main priority of Perl 6 is to integrate many ideas from many languages and bring them together in such a way that it seems as if all of these ideas always belonged together.

The reason why the object system sees more optimizations is because everything is, or can be seen as, an object. A big improvement there, can for example make regexes faster.

I am doing pretty much the same. I am currently an engineering student, working part-time as a programmer. Although the job market for programmers is excellent in Europe, I bought an apple orchard (via loan) pretty close to the capital of the country where I live. Due to the proximity of the capital city, I can sell my product at a decent price and earn more than an average senior dev here. I also enjoy being outside and collaborate IT with agriculture. I am planning on purchasing drones to calculate NDVI and other useful stuff. People working 160 hours a month at a desk requires nature, peace. They love my U-pick programme as the venue is beautiful and close to the capital (less than 15km).

Cheapo handheld scanners and poor lighting conditions.

QR codes have a lot of the same contrast benefits that barcodes have, and it's historically been hard to make an OCR-based scanner (for stocking shelves, lets say), with an acceptable retail price. Lots of industrial uses preclude touch surfaces, and lots of industrial areas preclude the kinds of displays you find on normal phones and such. And OCR in random lighting conditions, with random angles, and a little hand-jiggle gets ugly quick.

There are also packaging benefits with QR codes. They are fixed size regardless of content, and have a common appearance.

I am simply making a statement that differences in quantity become differences in kind. You can separate things by revenue generation.

If you buy from 1 farmer and then sell wholesale to 1 customer your not going to make significant money. If you buy from 1 farmer and then sell at a stall to 1,000 people you can make meaningful profit.
That’s just not true.
Yes. This is a more accurate explanation, thanks for posting.
> when their main job is to keep it safe and available.

LOL. I don't think their incentives are in line with that at all. It may be what we want but then we're just lying to ourselves.
Then the comment above was ambiguous at best. The tone of the parent's post was definitely criticizing the trend of people going into farming.

"Farming is no way to make a living... I come from a farming community and family and for decades farming has only been affordable if you also had another full-time job."

Here's another way of thinking of it.

"Tech is no way to make a living. I'm glad that these people are finding success, but I come from a sysadmin community and family and for decades tech has only been affordable if you also had another full-time job. Although software dev for trendy websites might not be so bad."

Tech is broad. Even though tech support and sysadmins are doing poorly, other facets of tech are doing fine, making the phrase "Tech is no way to make a living" inaccurate. Just like saying "Farming is no way to make a living" can be inaccurate if there are still parts of the market largely profitable.

Complaining about headlines is becoming a convenient way to avoid talking about the substantive issues - which is another strike against them.
They might say be operating a stall at a locally grown market, but it's the stall not the farm that's generating income.

That's assuming that the product is fungible. If your market stall can generate higher margins because you are the farmer, and/or due to the type of farming, this argument isn't so clean.
Thanks for the correction. I typed the previous comment on my mobile, and the autocomplete there is quite confident with apostrophe insertion, which I don't always notice and correct.

You are incorrect though regarding Skitt's Law - this sequence of posts is not an example of it. My comment is mainly about the subject under discussion, with a post script correction on a tricky spelling error. Your comment, which is purely a correction of a common spelling mistake, contains no errors so far as I can tell. Thus, you are the spelling pedant in this situation (even implying I should be embarrassed for making a spelling mistake) and yet, you have no spelling errors - exactly disproving Skitt's Law.
Not knowing is normal.

Not learning is bad.

If I don't know what RTOS is, my first reflex is to try and learn it on my own. Only if I fail this I will try to make others to give me an answer. I don't like wasting their time and making them provide the same reply for the thousandth time looks pretty wasteful to me.

In this case, looking up RTOS in Google is as simple as it gets. People who ask what it is do so because they didn't try to learn this by themselves.

I'm not exactly a fan of such people. I accept that they have different beliefs than me, and I try my best to be tolerant, but a sense of discomfort when dealing with people like that never leaves me. Is it arrogance too, I wonder?

Have you toyed already with Sentinel-2 NDVI? There's a free API: https://scihub.copernicus.eu/twiki/do/view/SciHubWebPortal/A...

> Too often, I feel the tech community is looking at technological solutions to social and political problems. See cryptocurrencies, or the encryption debate as examples where you can feel cynicism, bordering on disdain, for the political process.

You say that as though technology isn't part of the political process.

If the last few years have taught us anything it's that the general population is not a fan of the existing banking laws. But that hasn't resulted in reform because the banks and law enforcement agencies have undue disproportionate political power and prevent that reform.

Technologies that can disrupt the balance of power that keeps the broken status quo aren't apolitical, but that doesn't make them dirty. They're a tool that can be used for good or for ill. It's not as if the other side isn't using their own tools. AES didn't exist in 1950 but neither did ISMI catchers, room 641A, the Utah Data Center, always-on surveillance devices in everyone's pocket, etc.

And resisting government overreach with maths is a whole lot cleaner than doing it with bullets and IEDs, which are also part of politics.

TheVerge has been following down that path for a while, too, ever since they decided they need to follow "tech pop culture" or something.

You're right, most farming is a race to the bottom; more crops and produce for lower prices has been the goal for years. This article however is more about exclusively-priced artisan goods, probably even without an intermediate party / wholesale. I can imagine that, as long as the economy stays good, some people can make a decent living with that. But it really depends on, on the one hand, how long they can do it with minimal overhead (like wholesale), and on the other hand how long people are willing to pay a premium for organic / local produce.

I'm from Guinea... The one in west Africa...hmmm right there are two of them there. So Guinea Conakry it is.

I don't know the Western origin of the word Guinea but I remember someone jokingly telling a story when we were kids. He used to say when the french colonists docked at the coast, they saw nobody. They went deep into the land and found a river. On that river, they saw women washing their clothes. "What do you call this land?" The french asked. The word land sounded like their word for "men".

"Only women here..." (word for women in Soso is Guinée) "distracting you while the men steal your boats"

So there you go, Guinée/Guinea means Women.

That's an argument to pretend to be a farmer, while also buying from a 3rd party. Another benefit is as a tax doge.

Exactly. The biggest real example I know of is ring species. Everything else seems to be total handwaving. In fact "evolution" is just an umbrella term for many different theories about how speciation happens.

I have no problem with the theory of common ancestry. That has a lot of proof. But the idea that speciation happens EXCLUSIVELY by random mutation and "natural selection" is just handwaving theorizing. It's super hard to prove and we haven't even begun to get close to what constitutes as a proof. It's on the level of ancient people thinking the ONLY way to get fire is by rubbing some sticks together.

And yet I see the latter ("natural selection") being used by many in the scientific community to suppress other theories even though it is completely handwavy and vague. That is bullying.

Basically common descent can be rigorously defined and shown. The PROCESS by which speciation happens is poorly understood and has been a subject of much posturing by the scientific community (including popularizers like Dawkins) for decades.

(PS: if you're going to knee jerk downvote this because it criticizes "evolution", at least address it with substance.)
if Eve Online taught me anything, this is correct. Either you buy produce wholesale and resell it with a markup, or you spend the time / effort yourself. It's really a cost vs time / effort calculation. Of course, if things scale up - like, if the demand for artisan cheese becomes higher than the microfarmer can produce - buying the materials in bulk and slapping the own brand on there becomes more attractive.
That title is puntastic.

It sounded like the difference between production and distribution to me. Perhaps it is hard to differentiate for a tiny farm. But it becomes obviously different as the volume goes up and the farm begins selling to a distributor.
They could also be checking to see if a human answers so they can sell your number or target you later.
Also the result you care about is often not "does it work?" but "does it work better than the current approach?".

I disagree. Learning chess gave me a better understanding of spacial analysis and helped me learn to pay attention to little details in everything I do. I still think back to the moment I realized I needed to pay attention to all the pieces on the board when I miss little things I do.

Having a good working memory helps me with literally everything I do all the time.

Learning music helped me with math and I find writing songs to be similar to writing a computer program. I think about them both the same way. They're both large complete things built from different abstract parts.

Building a program, using classes and structs built from basic primitives is not much different that building a song by layering different notes and chords into tracks and tweaking them until they work together as a song.

In both cases there's certain patterns that do and don't work together, you have to pay attention to tiny details. One misplaced keyword or drumbeat can fuck up a whole program or song.

I work on both the same way, I start with a base loop for my program or song, I focus on one small piece at a time, then tie it together with the rest, I frequently go back and change old parts because they don't work well as a whole or I figured out a better way to do it.

Personally I feel like learning those things helped me be better at life in general.

Music and chess are both extremely useful for learning about abstraction which is pretty much the most important skill a person can learn. Abstraction makes our society possible. Both of these teach you how to focus on small parts and tie them to a bigger whole. Everything we do is based on these concepts.

They both teach you to think and plan ahead. If you're playing a song you have to know ahead of time what's coming next or at least be able to read music on the fly.

If you play music with other people it helps with learning to read people and work with others cohesively. You have to be able to tell what the others are doing, make sure you stay on time with everybody as well as keeping track of the song and just about everything else going on.

Honestly everything I learn I find ways to apply to other things I do in life. Things are a lot more similar than they may seem. Humans only have so mamy skills but we have countless ways to apply them to do amazing things.
Around here most small farms are a tax dodge. If you have a big house and a big yard you pay $30k property taxes every year. If you call it a farm and sell a few pumpkins taxes disappear.
> I am planning on purchasing drones to calculate NDVI and other useful stuff

As someone who works at a company that uses Drones to do NDVI, look into EVI. And getting a proper calibration plate, or a light sensor you understand, will allow you to make the results much more accurate.
Totally agree. My point is just that I find it a bit weird/circular to use Oumuamua as the `first proof` for a theory that is subsequently used with Occam's Razor to demonstrate that Oumuamua is likely not something else.
High school is where students should be getting their breadth. At some point you have to learn what you will do, and balance that out with a realization that more and more school just equals more and more debt.

I would actually like to see the opposite...get rid of all elective coursework and try to graduate students in two years. They'll have an incomplete education, but we all have incomplete educations.

If anything, we as a society and as individuals are creating more harm by pointlessly overeducating ourselves.

What I would see as problematic is that picking and choosing parts of globalization would probably involve limiting the development of technology, commerce, and in some cases limiting free speech. And depending on the restrictions put in place to limit it, it could end up becoming sort of a global discrimination program which leads up to social conflict or even a war. There is also a conflicting part in your statement, where if for example the US took a 10% hit in GDP, it would in real terms mean that unemployment would double or triple, education, health and the base of society in general would take a huge hit, besides loosing global military and economic leadership, probably leading to huge political instability which lead to less control and more uncertainty (which could give space for a dictatorship, an internal war or a slew of other social problems). Economic growth is sort of like a drug, because once you have a society hooked up and dependent on it, if you take it away cold turkey, everything else that society has built will come crashing.

The branch manager at a previous job ran a hobby farm that I'm not sure made a profit but seemed to make him pretty happy to run. During the various harvests, it was also a nice benefit for us since he'd bring in generous amounts of produce to give away. I did get some odd looks in the afternoon getting on the bus while balancing three watermelons. Not a bad problem to have.

The most likely explanation is that it does come from a single origin. Either it only started once, or the particular lineage that led to all the life we see now outcompeted other, less efficient forms of primitive life.

In case people can't read the article as it's behind a paywall, it's not the primary source. However, to summarize the differences, this one study should not be representative of fact, as it very well could be that in the trial that did not show any benefit, patients could have had very aggressive treatment prior to beginning the study, and thus may have already been clinically cured prior to the study actually beginning. I would definitely trust the OPs meta analysis and systematic review of multiple different trials before believing this placebo controlled trial, for a number of reasons:

1. What I already mentioned above regarding the conflicting results of these two placebo controlled trials

2. The studies used in the nhs article are all done for patients that we're currently undergoing treatment for c diff, not after a long treatment time.

3. Meta analyses and systematic reviews are always going to be higher powered statistically speaking. As long as the papers looked at don't stink of publication bias it's a very valid way of looking at all the research done on fecal transplants for c diff.
