Oh, yes the glorious battle of englightment- awaking from the beverages of medieval times. If only history was that clear cut.

It turns out coffee send some shizos into revolutionary overdrive, supresses anxiety and thus allows a mumbling bundle, to develop into a paranoia-ignoring, revolutionary zealot, capable to incite others- even though there exist no plan, not strategy and sometimes even quite progressive kings or queens, battling with trader aristocracys who want to keep the peasants uneducated.

TL,DR; New substances have funny side-effects.

PS: Also alcohol is my favourite suspect when it comes to the question- why did humanity settle down? Harvest the wild wheat and move on like a true nomad- or stay and grow it..

Nothing that ingenious and labourfull then a unwillingly sobber alcoholic. But it does not make for nice museum texts:

"Here we see the first settlements- men settled down, because they where thirsty and needed the wheat and barley, and a nomadic existance was cumbersome with all those earthen kegs to move around."
Very nice reflection on an important and enjoyable topic!
Regarding the question at the end about "a more general term for this kind of 'passing through' of functionality":

At least in the context of Prolog meta-interpreters, implicitly using features of the host language is called absorption, and reimplementing Prolog features within Prolog is called reification.

The term reification is also used (in the same sense) in other languages. For example, you can think of your first example as reifying the call stack that the second version builds implicitly.

In fact, reifying the call stack is a well-known technique in compiler design and garbage collection, because you need less space to store, say, N target addresses than N stack frames. Andrew Appel's compiler book mentions this technique, for example.

For absorption to be applicable, you need first and foremost a host language that provides some useful implicit features. In Prolog, unification and backtracking are notable examples that are also especially easy to "pass through" to the object level. A different example would be the operand stack in stack-based languages like PostScript. If your language has no or only very few implicit features, then there is only little to pass through in the first place.
> It's just Bayesian inference to update the posterior.

I've had this discussion with a number of smart people (math PhDs and so on) over the years, and I've never gotten a good explanation. I understand in the very abstract sense how Kalman filters (and particle filters and so on) can be seen as Bayesian, but when it gets to actually applying Bayes' theorem it really gets complicated very fast. For instance, if you're estimating a 3D position (that will be A) and your measurements are some 2D subspace (these will be B), the least squares approach works nicely (normalized products of Normal PDFs).

However, I'm not sure I understand a single component of the expression P(A|B) = P(B|A) P(A) / P(B) in this context. What does A|B or B|A even mean when A is a 3D Gaussian and B is 2D? What are the dimensionalities of these operations? What does it mean to divide a product of pdfs?

I don't expect an answer, but I always wince a bit when I see Bayes in this context. For Normal distributions, I prefer thinking of it as least squares.

I pay for ad-free YouTube Red and got Google Play Music for free, IMO best value music subscription bundle available.
This idea's been passed around the psychedelic community, even so far as to suggest a drug like LSD or DMT changes your brain chemistry enough that you receive a different form of consciousness, endowing one with everything from the ability to commune with "machine elves" to providing a priori insight into the unitary nature of existence. Unfortunately these ideas get weaved within New Age-type thinking and I tend to lend them no credence. [1]

Similarly, if consciousness is a fundamental component of the Universe/reality, it may not supervene (a technical term in philosophy) on the physical structures of the brain. [2]

>"How does one realistically reform something like this?"

Slowly and methodically.

For starters:

Create legislation that prevents construction firms from making campaign contribution and MTA employees from taking jobs as political consultants. This is probably the largest source of corruption, graft and waste.[1]

The MTA's Board of Directors is predominantly controlled by the Governor of the state. The Board of Directors has long been a political dumping ground. Residents - the people who depend on the train have almost no say. Residents should have representation on the board of directors even if its a only a handful of rotating seats. Having people on the board who actually use and depend on the train would provide an instant feedback loop.

I think you also need to implement a rotating independent oversight committee whom the MTA must be beholden too. One that is democratically elected. The oversight committee should have real teeth though perhaps with veto ability in certain instances.

And yes as someone else mentioned you probably need to fire a whole bunch of people.

I think a bigger problem is the unholy conflation of fiscal and social conservatism, by the interviewer, possibly by the author, and quite likely by the people being studied themselves.

It is one thing to support fiscal conservatism. The very nature of these towns lends itself to the ideology, and it has its merits - cf. tech leaders who supported Trump.

It is quite another to have "outdated" (for lack of a better word) moral beliefs (anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-<whatever>), to _know_ that the majority of the country does not agree, and still somehow _expect_ that these views to be enforced in their little part of the world. It's a kind of selfishness that is not unique to small towns or their people by any means, but it is there.

I wish the author did more to differentiate the two, although the interview is pretty terrible overall.

I do this too. I just write.

It's much easier to clean up and adjust (tens of) thousands of words consisting of raw consciousness, than it is to write just 500 words of pure perfection.

It's not all nonsense, of course, but it's a stream of information just being beamed at the screen (via my fingers.) Even this very comment was written like this: just smash out how I feel and then go back and refine it, but not too much, because it's just a comment.

I find bullet points help too.

Instead of writing in paragraphs or even simple sentences, I find bullet points remove all the barriers of getting information on to the page/screen, because formatting isn't even a concern. Once you have enough points, expand them with sub-points and keep going.

Eventually turn those bullet points into prose and fly my pretty, fly :-)

That's still an impartial model because each layer of abstraction can introduce path delay and resource usage.

Functional programming doesn't encapsulate interfacing across different clock domains or one hot vs binary state representation. Trying to bring those abstraction models to HDL you'll find a significant impedance mismatch.

Ask HN: Captcha When Changing Google Settings?
One of the things I have always done with Google Search is to change the "results per page" to 100, as I find the default of 10 per page to be tedious.

However, lately, Google has been giving me a Captcha every time I try to change it to 100. It does it to me at work and at home - and it does it to me in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. I find this quite annoying as my regular browser is set to remove all cookies on quit.

Does anyone know if this is some kind of programming error? My first though was that Google is trying to punish people who frequently clear out their cookies to avoid tracking but then I remembered Hanlon's razor.

>I don't see private failing as necessarily discounting oneself in public office.

I agree. If everyone knew everyone's failings no one could live together. I think we all can agree that there's a time and place to not reveal someone's error or publicly denounce an error. (thankfully the choice is personal and it's no one's business but our own to decide which is which)

In the case of parenting, there are some flaws you can't hide. Might as well face those and teach your kids how to do it right. They can learn from your example not only how to humbly present errors, but also be gracious in return.

A side benefit of this is easier correction. (this has happened to me a few times) One time an older child failed at something that I have historically failed at, and I corrected her. She shouted at me "well you do it too!", and I could boldly state, "You know I think it's wrong, you know I am working on it, I have made progress and I plan on permanently changing, and I can expect you to try as well."

What I said was honest and true, and she'd witnessed me completely changing other behavior before. And then we both calmed down, and everything was just a little bit better.

And I do agree with your sentiment about hiding some things from your kids. I knew too much as a kid, and it was a burden.
Definitely agree with regards to showing albums by year and filtering for just studio/live/whatever. On the other hand, I find it quite easy to play albums straight through.
I absolutely abhor the Apple Music UI.

> Why are the fonts so large that you can't see list of songs properly?

> Within a couple of clicks, I should be able to view a list of songs in my playlist and I can sort it the way I want. By year, by genre, by any parameter of the song
> Same thing for albums list and artists list

Unbelievable - the new UI paradigm with BOLD fonts and large negative space is eating into the limited valuable real estate on a mobile device.

What goes into these people's minds? Can someone shed some light?
There's nothing "impure" about that. From Fielding's dissertation (emphasis mine):

"The key abstraction of information in REST is a resource. Any information that can be named can be a resource: a document or image, a temporal service (e.g. "today's weather in Los Angeles"), a collection of other resources, a non-virtual object (e.g. a person), and so on."

By the way, REST is not an ideology, it's an architectural style. It defines a set of constraints, and specifies the advantages and disadvantages of applying each of them.

Decoding the Design History of Your Coffee Cup Lid
The reason why Bitcoin will cause the mother of all bank runs is because Bitcoin will eat up banks' liquidity that is desperately needed to keep the leverage ratios in check. Rather simply, because banks take in deposits and then generate revenue, by extracting the value of your capital, by lending it out to other people at interest. This is the most common form of money creation in the economy (with other people focusing on T Bills, quantitative easing, etc)
If people continue to dump dollars/fiat (which are only liquid if your bank doesn't screw up and over leverage themselves) for money that is always liquid (Bitcoin) then essentially the liquidity that banks rely on dries up, their leveraging goes up, and the slightest market hiccup causes an intra/inter-bank liquidity-failure cascade. [2]

Given that typical leverage ratios are ~3-5%[1] (or banks only have 1 dollar for ever 33 dollars they say they have) and that the total supply of M1 is ~4 Trillion [3], the balance they have available (5%*2e12=$200 billion) is hitting the first threshold of concern because Bitcoin's market cap is ~$150 billion and cryptocurrencies in total are $360 Billion[4] (though volume would be a better indication of flows). No wonder central banks are literally conspiring to smear Bitcoin[5] rather than admit their own incompetence. Once the Bitcoin/cryptocurrency market caps approach ~$800 billion (equivalent liquidity of M2 leverage) the sparks are really going to fly in liquidity problems with banks.

Will banks avoid this? My guess is no, because such a CBDC won't allow the squish that banks need to cook books or mask liquidity problems as "Crises of confidence" and the competitive forces demand higher and higher amounts of leverage and that the government has colluded with the banking industry to constantly socialize their losses, while the banking sector privatizes gains. For more reading check out, The End of Alchemy [7]

Which do you think is more likely Bitcoin is going to stop working or banks will under-engineer their financial safety factors and fail (like they've habitually done)? Hopefully you have your skin in the game your gut tells you is going to happen.

I saw someone else in another thread talk about how "a car crash is a tragedy, a plane crash is statistics" -- populism has always been bike shedding, and individuals in rural America are desperately looking for someone who will give them an answer that will fit their outlook on the world.
