>BigDecimal has an add() method

Using it for formulas makes for wonderful code.

Try

y = (5x^3 - 3x^2 + 7x + 1)/(3x^2 - 7x)

See how readable that is using methods like .add()

Side note: the notation we have is not that old; but as soon as people actually started working with polynomials, they invented notation that makes it sane.

That's to say, Java's .add() is so 1400's.

It's quoted and depends on whether you buy it per user or per device, and the pricing just changed a couple of days ago. But generally it's been $80-$170/year.

The per-user licensing allows for installs on multiple devices (5, I think, unless that also recently changed), so it can work out to about $35 per device.

The Enterprise licenses used to revert to Pro licenses when the subscription expired, not sure if they still do.

most independent content creation does not seem to be paywalled, so people who do not have the means to support the content can still enjoy it, while the people who can back it financially. This seems like a pretty reasonable solution to me.

I'm also not sure that producing ad-driven content for business in Mombasa necessarily aligns with the content the people of Mombasa want to see any more then it does here.

The big benefit of independent funding is that the creator is solely responsible for her audience, and not beholden to third parties.
Reminds me of the growing realization -- in concert with the growing ability to model and image -- that DNA has significant function "in the third" (and, I'd say, fourth) dimension.

How it's positioned influences how it behaves -- not just how it is constructed in terms of traditional direct chemical/molecular bonds.

And now, for the mind / nervous system, scientists are hypothesizing quantum mechanical functional components or aspects.

Whenever a problem or physical model is "understood"... well, personal, anecdotal, experience has taught me to... not view any such thing as "done", beyond immediate, practical, and -- within exactly that context -- sufficient applications.
Hmm, I had also heard the Monopoly Guy was based on JP Morgan (at least in looks), but I could be incorrect.
Sigh. No. Just a few differences:

- Corbyn is the leader of the Labour Party. Neither Hillary nor Bernie have that position in the Democratic party, because it doesn't exist. A party's presidential candidate is not the same as their party leader. And the method by which each is elected is radically different.

- Corbyn was already leader when these events happened. This is the equivalent of Bernie winning the primary (which as mentioned above is already a poor analogy) and then being lied to about what the DNC was doing in outreach for the presidential election. So, not something that mirrors reality at all.

- Bernie Sanders was not a member of the Democratic party before seeking to become it's presidential candidate. Corbyn has been a member of the Labour party for decades.

- Corbyn represents the resurgence of a relatively old wing of the Labour party, not the beginning of a new movement like Sanders.

Basically every part of this dynamic is different. They're both very interesting to study in their own right, and trying to conflate the two to make a political point does nothing justice.
I do have stuff I want hidden. Why is that such a damn crime?
I think there's a related issue here that's always kind of nagged at me.

We have evolved many characteristics which are handy, but which seem unlikely to have had enough of an impact on survival to have become so ubiquitously propagated by natural selection alone. For instance the ability to digest milk as well as white skin are both relatively new adaptations. But the advantages they offer, for the locations where they evolved, are pretty mild.

Fair skin could have had sexual selection factors in play helping its spread, but being able to digest the milk of lactating animals? It just doesn't seem like a mutation that would provide enough benefit to become ubiquitous through the mechanisms of natural selection alone, yet it did. And both of the above evolutions are relatively recent, making it all the more difficult to reconcile things through random mutations filtered by natural/sexual selection alone.

I've only been coding in React for a year, but this article feels like it is depending on state far more than a production app would. State is definitely a key part of react, but props are more the norm for moving data around. When you do change state, it often just makes an update to one small thing, which then re-renders everything downstream with new props.

33. Most guitar tabs for The Beatles' Norwegian Wood are wrong -- they have the intro accurate, but it's not the same as the part played under the lyrics.

And it's not just that the song is played on a sitar -- even the sitar isn't mirroring the intro to the song through the lyrics. Look at, for example, this tab (https://www.guitartabsexplorer.com/beatles-Tabs/norwegian-wo...), which explicitly says "Use same guitar pattern under solo voice". Now listen to the song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYs02z35F24), which doesn't use the same pattern under the voice. It's a good accompaniment, but it is just different.

It does, but actually oil well fires have been put out with explosives.

During the first USA-Iraq war Saddam Hussein's troops lit up several hundred oil wells as they withdrew from Kuwait. Some of these were extinguished with the help of explosives. The situation is not fully analogous though, since in the case of Sweden it was too dangerous to get even remotely close to the source of fire.

What you're missing is the fundamental reason industry uses FPGA's, flexibility and parallelism. An ASIC will always outpeform an FPGA in some specialized front, but the development time and cost associated with an ASIC is signifantly longer and more expensive respectively. An FPGA can be plopped into your design, and use cases can be added without refabbing the entire PCB. Good luck doing that with an ASIC...

A microcontroller is more flexible than a FPGA, but it lacks the ability to parallelize (as many) tasks as an FPGA. Hardware interrupts on a uC are definitely not free and can impact performance from the overhead associated with processing the interrupt, where an FPGA can process any interrupt for "free" without impacting the performance of any parallel module. Real time apps can be implemented on uC's and DSP's, but may not be able to meet them depending on the time constraints on your system.

FPGA's and GPU's were never meant to compete. GPU's will destroy an FPGA on any parallel data processing task, but that data needs to first be populated onto the GPU. A GPU's bottleneck is (usually) never it's processing speed, but it's data population (RAM) bandwidth. A GPU will never have direct access to hardware, where as an FPGA does. The overall speed of a GPU exceeds that of an FPGA for specialized parallel processing, but the latency of a GPU is larger.

The point is that FPGA's are specialized, and so are other co-processors/hardware. They should be used only when it makes sense to use them, and more ad-hoc or flexible solutions are not viable.

Similarly for the batteries. If lithium-ion could be had for $0.26/kWh then a Tesla Model S battery would be $26.

As it stands, Tesla batteries are estimated to be around the $100/kWh level for individual cells and projected to fall below $100/kWh at the pack level in a couple of years [1].

I think you meant allocations instead of rerenders - if you wanted to reduce rerenders, switching to PureComponent would be the way to go. IMO, what you're suggesting is a premature optimization.
>FPGAs are entirely unlike this. By the point where you're first synthesizing a design onto silicon, you should've thoroughly tested it on a simulator, just because of how much easier it is to debug there than on really hardware.

In fairness, I have not experimented much with FPGA simulators. My casual research into them suggests they're less reliable than testing on actual hardware, and even harder to set up and get licences for than the FPGA toolchains. Aka they're a deeper level of the same shitshow as FPGA design suites.

I've found that this is kind of a brain-hack. Adding the article to Instapaper or opening the tab itself satisfies my FOMO even if I don't actually read it or only glance at it later before closing or marking as read. I do a similar thing for side-projects - I have a Google Doc where I keep a list of side projects. When a new one comes up or when I find myself fixated on ideas for an existing one I just write the ideas down in the doc, likely to never be read again. Writing them down seems to get them out of my head.
Over 50. Just read Judith Shklar's The Liberalism of Fear https://philpapers.org/archive/SHKTLO.pdf, which argues that minimizing fear is a valid political principle:

"Every adult should be able to make as many effective decisions without fear or favor about as many aspects of her or his life as is compatible with the like freedom of every other adult."

Further,
"Apart from prohibiting interference with the freedom of others, liberalism does not have any particular positive doctrines about how people are to conduct their lives or what personal choices they are to make."

How do you prove a unicode character is unused? Look at every database field in the entire world? Every book someone has ever typed on a computer and printed? See what fonts include them or don't?

You can't define what an unused character looks like once it's in the standard... even less if it's already available on almost every modern computer.

People have already used these "ghost characters" when describing them, as jokes in their online handles, etc... This article and now this comment include "妛" which is one such character.

Furthermore, how would you even remove them? Tell all font authors "unicode point X now shouldn't be included in your font"... why would they ever bother to remove something from a font?

And what would be the benefit? Unicode offers enough codepoints that there's plenty of space left over for whatever garbage you wish to include, like new emojis and super-astral-aether-planar characters.

Because power relations between groups is a zero sum game.

I didn't say progress was relative. I didn't even mention relative. I specifically mention the wealth gap and the growing disparity between the rich and the rest and the uneven power disparity. Hence my examples of battle.

I was sure someone would bring up "zero-sum" but not the way you brought it up by misunderstanding my comment. The garden variety "zero-sum" response would justify the wealthy getting the lion share of wealth and everyone getting crumbs because everyone is still better off. And normally, I'd respond that if the wealthy got crumbs and the rest got the lion share, everyone would still be better off. You replaced one straw man with another.

> If you're referring to Hospitals, they are required by law to treat you regardless of your ability to pay

Hospitals—well, emergency departments of hospitals that take Medicare—are required to screen for and stabilize any “emergency medical conditions”, as defined in law, regardless of ability to pay. As your source noted, that is not a mandate for general treatment, or even stabilization of medical conditions generally.

> I don't want to play the internet as if it were a video game. (...) I want a tool that I use to drive my life narrative forward, not a tool that uses me to drain my attention span.

This is a perfect description of how I feel about the Internet today. Thank you.

AFAIR I'm much younger than you; the Internet I started using, in late 1990s, was already "rich" - though nowhere near as flashy as today. Yet I too find myself yearning for simplicity and plaintext. Your comparison to a videogame resonates on many different levels. The user experience of modern Web feels akin to interfaces common to videogames - optimized to look and feel nice, but not very functional nor accessible, and leading you through one carefully designed path. And when I reflect on my social media usage, I find the same phenomenon of "just one more level/mission/turn" that I find playing good games.

I'd definitely prefer a web - maybe a separate web - designed for helping me fulfill my goals. That would mean no shiny fluff in interfaces. Lightweight pages, high discoverability, both pages and underlying data available for automated processing. Alas, I believe commercial interests drive the web in exactly the opposite directions - as making a site too useful also makes it difficult to monetize users.

(Yes, monetize users. If this sounds like milking a cow, that's exactly how it should.)
Inflation. The same way I can remember paying $0.79 for gas in the late 1990s.

Also, police officers are not paid well.
Taboola is one of the companies that paid Adblock Plus millions of dollars to not block their ads[0]. Taboola is the billion dollar company shoveling the "mom's $5 wrinkle tip, doctors hate her" trash[1].

Adblock Plus plainly acknowledge that those aren't "acceptable ads"[2], but unfortunately they've handed over the whitelist to a completely, 100% independent committee. It's out of their hands now and they're "hopeful" that those people will remove Taboola soon. There's a thread from 2015 asking them to remove it[3]. Convenient.

We both know most people don't spend time reading the options page of their browser extensions. If you download an ad blocker it should block ads. Having to check a check box to get the functionality you paid for is unexpected. Adblock is able to make millions of dollars because most don't know to check it. Most people just want to not see ads, a "selective" ad blocker happens to be the most famous because it was the first popular ad blocker that pivoted into a lucrative rent-seeking operation after becoming a household name. I've heard the euphemism "default opt-in".

According to the author of uBlock Origin it uses less resources[4].

Unless you work for Adblock or Adblock Plus or the companies that paid the bribe there is no reason to recommend it.

So imagine sheet constructed of up right hexagonal prisms. Now imagine a ray going from the centroid of the bottom hexagon through the centroid of the of the top hexagon. Now flex the sheet along an axis as if you were wrapping it around a cylinder. The rays now project out radially from the center of the cylinder. Now consider the shapes on the surface if we replaced the stretched hexagons with a Voronoi diagram based on the points where the rays come through the surface.

Remarkably the surface shapes are no longer hexagons, and the column are neither hexagonal prisms or frustums of a hexagonal pyramid, but something else entirely.

This is correct. Browsers need to become “spacers”.
