I don't watch or study Jordan Peterson, but I'm flabbergasted by how inflammatory he manages to be. I read a critical article about Peterson in a major publication which excoriated his -- apparently awful -- misunderstanding of Derrida and Foucault (whom he apparently faults for modern leftism) but barely even described his theories, whatever they are. I came away fully convinced that Peterson does not understand Derrida, and better aware of the intellectual dispute between postmodernism and Marxism, but unsure of how important this is to refuting Peterson's broader cultural criticisms, and also unsure of what those were.

I guess my point is, if you disagree with someone's thinking, try to be clear about why, and don't assume everyone else is familiar with them.
You might be interested in the book "The most Powerful Idea in the World" by William Rosen.

It's common to point to technological advancements such as steam which gave way to the Industrial Revolution, that Britain had coal etc. And that's definitely important because steam powered factories which was a major change from household/hand/craft businesses.

In truth there were many contributing factors. But why Britain? Why was this the place where all these inventions were being made? Some historians get very creative in additional reasons for how this era came to be. Rosen makes the really interesting claim that it was the idea of intellectual property that triggered all the inventing-- that man could own an idea and make money from it!

I already see some good responses to your question.

As for me, before this course, learning a language was a mechanical process. I learn the syntax, learn some idioms and go with it. But, after this course, as the other commenter put it, I started learning every language as a set of features. That opens up a whole new world. For instance, when learning a new language, you seek out the features your are interested in and then figure out how that language lets you use it. For example, does a language support abstract data types, what paradigms of programming does it support, is it imperative or functional, lazy or strict, is the language supposed to be used as a bunch of statements or expressions, can common idioms be implemented as simple language functions or do I need the language to support it internally etc, does it support lambdas, does it do lexical or dynamic binding etc. The course also takes you through ML, Racket and Ruby and gradually exposes you through this concepts and in parallel explains what the trade-offs are as you give up once paradigm for another.

So, after the course, next time if you open up a beginners guide to any language, you will be seeking our answers to high level questions. The syntax to use will be learned automatically as you use those 'concepts'

Dan Grossman is a an excellent teacher. His passion for programming languages can be seen in his teachings. The homeworks are very relevant and helps you solidify the concepts. I am thankful to him for offering this course.

Hope this makes sense.
I thought the idea of a labor theory of value wasn't related to the actual effort you put in, but more that value is related to how much average social labor would be currently invested to acquire or produce something. So if you have a machine you can pull a lever to produce 10 items in 1 second, each of those items acquires 1/10th of a human-second of value.

I get though that those other conditions matter more in terms of the actual price though. Marx distinguished between "value", "use-value", and "exchange-value", the latter being price, the second being required for value or exchange value, and the first being used as the basis of comparison between goods. I took it to mean that exchange value is like temperature while value is like heat.

Can you elaborate? I'd like to know more about how these different theories interact.

As a side note--and I stole this idea from an essay that I thought was by Asimov called the Scientist and the Sage but: 400 or 1000 years ago there were still basically three possible predictions: the universe will end; the universe is infinite; the universe will cycle.

It is then trivial to find philosophers who take one of those notions as a cornerstone of their philosophy and thus absolutely have a conceptual framework for the right questions.

European here and I feel this is a bit shortsighted. Not really sure the sentiment is to target US companies (if for nothing else ours are quite open/interconnected economies and there's lots of fondness for US services - check both market share as well as revenues) but really.. Facebook's tax of 5k/year in the UK, the double irish with a dutch sandwich, the backroom deals from the 80s with the Irish govt.. these are global practices which truly devastate everyone in the long run. I actually trust bureaucrats to step in and audit - and subjectively think they very often do a decent job of explaining rationales given europeans' known tendency of bickering on pretty much everything.

Parallel scanning of large data sets, like object graphs. You don't want to copy the entire graph to each thread, nor do fine grained passing around of a node per traversal.

However, if what this exposes is just an array of bytes, that's less useful as you have to cast your own object model on top of it. Large image data might be still useful as just bytes, with threads running convolutions or NNs on it.

You must be exacerbated... so I apologize. But, what exactly is false about this. It stands to reason that getting a job sounds a lot easier than starting a revolution for most people.
Um, no. Because Maven and Gradle share the concept of convention over configuration and you obviously weren't around for the bad old days of ant (or make) in which every company had their own weird builds.

I used Gradle for years and then in my current role had to move back to Maven because that's what my employer wants and I don't miss Gradle. I was quite good at creating builds with Gradle, too.

But I must concede that the points people make about it are accurate--you can't depend on having just one Gradle guru on the team and there is a lot of magic with Gradle whereas Maven is much more clear what is going on and how. Also, the point about "build flexibility"--it just doesn't come up that much. You can write shell scripts you know. I did once have a Gradle build that would install SQL Server, install our application, run all the tests, including integration tests against the live database, then tear everything down and remove it all like it was never there.

I am interested in the Gradle Kotlin DSL since I also have had to accept the fact that Groovy is dying/dead now. Outside of IDEA, you can't get good Groovy IDE support anymore for example. It's dead, Jim. Kotlin lives, albeit with a sliver of market share thanks mostly to Android and the tireless efforts of JetBrains.
The board is an MKS Sbase 1.2 with an ARM chip running Snoothie, and I’m using the integrated stepper drivers. I switched from using the typical Arduino Mega + Ramps setup because working with Marlin was really difficult, and it felt like they were fighting a losing battle trying to cram more features into an 8 bit architecture. The motors are varying sizes of Nema 17s, but I don’t remember the manufacturer.

I have started experimenting with printed linear rails, and likely V2 of the printer will have printed rails on the z axis. The bushings are printed nylon that thread directly into the bed, x carriage, etc. I would also like to start experimenting with printed wiring, but most conductive filament is more like resistor wire, so that would take some figuring out.

As far as the frame and all that; yes it’s all printed. You’d be surprised how much the part count starts to fall when you no longer have to attach different parts together and you instead start integrating them into a single, printed part.

Not as easy as using gradle. I've written a couple maven plugins in my time, and I'm so very glad we have gradle now.

What does "third party" in your question refer to? Are you referring to servers that route client-side encrypted messages from user to user?
No the assumption is that a good negotiator now has to negotiate for everyone. Because if you give a raise to him, others will come to know and ask for similar treatment.

But you just did that exact same thing!

a) Do we know for sure that's what happens to the universe?

and

b) It doesn't matter anyway. "Everybody dies" is only a fact. What does the fact of heat death have to do with the question of meaning? The implication that "nothing means anything" is just as metaphysical an assumption as "everything means something."
This sounds like a process problem, not a gradle problem. I don't think there's inherent readability to maven, and I'd love to share my previous employer's pom files with you.
Eh, you can guess for a lot of it, and you at least have a map of where all the inputs actually GO. If it synapses in the olfactory bulb, probably don't hook up your simulated eyeball and all that.

Brain plasticity can cover some wiring sins - cochlear implants are pretty awful for connecting where they should go, but it's good enough to get some degree of hearing going. Get enough and the simulated patient can help you out telling you if you've got it right or not.
Got some examples? (not trying to be a devil's advocate, but I suspect my view on this is a bit outdated!).

Almost all guns are semi automatic.

So banning semi auto weapons, as you suggest, would be equivent to an almost total gun ban.

You are free to believe that, but you should realize that this is a very extensive ban.

Eh. To give a comparison, Kate (the KDE default text editor and a decently looking one at that) uses <1M when freshly opened and <100M when a 2 kLOC (~84 KiB) C file is opened (with a decent number of plugins).

Meanwhile, Visual Studio Code uses ~400M when freshly opened and ~550M with the same file (with similar plugins where available). Admittedly, VSC offers far more functionality, but the memory increase is still sizable.

I know that those (Slack and VSC) are vastly different programs with vastly different purposes, but even a minimal Electron app is going to have ~100M baseline memory, which is going to be used again with each and every Electron app that gets launched, in addition to the runtime overhead.

A common response to this is that "RAM is there to be used", but that RAM would have been used anyways for caching (which would have increased overall IO performance across the system) if these apps didn't hog it all. This fact becomes especially relevant when doing tasks that require lots of data (machine learning, compilation, etc).

That being said, I acknowledge that browser runtime based apps make it much easier to develop cross-platform applications, a fact for which I am grateful for as I run Linux. I think that a reasonable solution going forward would be if Electron (or another similar runtime) offered a way for multiple installed apps to share one running application. Ideally, of course, this would be offered natively by the browsers themselves, but given the technical hurdles to doing that _safely_, I'd easily settle for the former.
Why not use letsencrypt?
Yes. My privacy is not a trivial matter.

I was at a conference in Northern Virginia some months ago and saw a presentation from the folks at Upside, a startup specializing in booking business travel. They described the legacy system which handles pretty much all booking in the US, a system called SABRE. They described it as an ancient 6-bit computer system in Texas with no modern API. Everything they do tech-wise is a modern wrapper around that system. So I'm not at all surprised by any air travel computer failures if tech like that is central to the system.

I've recently tried out every major service: Google, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Amazon Prime.

They are all insanely buggy. I was a Spotify user for about 6 years before this and it was buggy, and is getting buggier as far as I can tell.
Google's big problem is straight antitrust, followed by that they're an adtech revenue engine locked in a multi-front war against companies who sell real products. Their GDPR story is actually pretty good and their transition away from adtech revenue seems to be progressing well too.
Just make sure to get a processor that's not Intel. No need to reward them for bad behaviour.

>" In 20 years, the Beatles and ac/dc will be less relevant and easier to live without."

If you made that statement I'm guessing that you don't realize that the Beatles have been relevant for 50 plus years now and AC/DC for 40 plus years.

They are so enduring because they are classics. It's amusing that you believe that when yet another generation discovers these artists they are somehow going to become less relevant.

Both of those artists that you used in your example were long time hold outs to allowing their music to be streamed. And it was huge news for Spotify when they were added to their catalog.

It's worth mentioned that Beatles tracks were streamed 50 million times in the first 48 hours that they were available for streaming.[1]

You have to pay for APIs / Functions that the individual vendor charges for (if the functions are not free) - for example, MessageBird charges $0.005 per SMS sent [1] using their sms.create function.

You also pay a nominal fee per ms of compute used when somebody uses an API you’ve built.

But you can get started for free - $5.00 of credits included that should cover up to 100,000 requests, if you’re really experimenting feel free to message our team (my email is in my profile here, I think).

Protectionism has a long history and trade is a very well-studied issue in economics. The research says there is no doubt that free trade creates greater aggregate economic benefits, generally speaking, and the incredible performance of the world economy over the last few decades bears that out.
If you also attribute, say, US rules about lead content in children's toys to a "love of targeting" Chinese companies, then sure.

Otherwise, it would be a good idea to at least accept the possibility of sincerity when different polities want different rules than the US.

>Is the schadenfreude from sticking it to whatever American company is selected worth that?

No, but a correction is long overdue to signal to international companies that the primacy of politics still exists. How companies conduct themselves is determined by European law and European citizens, not businesses.

Companies have only themselves to blame for having brought it on. Whether it's skirting taxes, mistreating user-data or assisting in election-meddling, if companies are not willing to self-regulate they will be regulated. That's an overdue message to send.
I guess one of the problems with Peterson (and also with people like Zizek) is that he manages to say some completely indefensible things (i.e. he seems to tie so many of the world's problems to "liberal professors in the universities"), while also managing to say some very poignant and insightful things that do genuinely improve one's thinking. I think the second part is the reason why he has built up such a large following.
I accept your argument that few are starving like a national geographic picture. Instead we have merely undernourished schoolchildren in the richest country in world history.

As for the adults, maybe we can write sleep outside until you freeze, get shot/stabbed, or jailed where you're threatened with sexual assault and are in general treated like a disease until you acquire enough money to escape the poverty trap and possibly mental help, the least funded area of America's inhumane medical system that is one of the top reasons people go broke.
