>I've made cashew milk and oat milk at home and they're naturally colored as they are on store shelves

Which is neither here nor there. I didn't say all are colored white: I used the term "usually". Second, even naturally white "alternative milks" have artificial coloring added for when they hit the shelves for consistency etc (manufacturers that don't do that are glad to advertise it in the box).

Second, both are not milks. Milks are what comes out of animals mammary glands (even legally in most jurisdictions). Advertisers and "health product" peddlers hijacked the term (that existed for millennia) to mean "random juices".

This strongly reminds me of installing software on Windows, where most games and programs would use My Documents as a dumping ground.
My point is, it is not an apples to apples comparison. Older workers are most valuable when they can leverage more from their broader and deeper experience of the business domain.

For instance, you would probably say I am only half as productive as the data scientists I manage. I only get to spend an hour or two a week doing hands-on modelling, so I just don't have the same familiarity with the techniques and tools.

But in terms of influencing output, I can have a five minute chat about the goals and context to their work and save them a week of fruitless effort. So in practical terms, my productivity is far higher.

I could easily spend a bit of time to improve my modelling skills a bit. But the law of comparative advantage suggests our junior engineers should build their skills while I coach, mentor and set strategic direction.

In fact, to give another very practical example, this weekend my company Oakam is hosting the European Pandas core developers (https://python-sprints.github.io/europandas2019/) in London. My own personal contribution to Pandas this weekend will be minor. But I am far more effective by being able to provide the venue and fund travel grants so 30 core developers can collaborate together.

Even just labelling the days would help.

There's room for confusion with unlabelled days even when it's "right", though. The author says "Since when is Feb 2 on a Thursday", but I assume that's because he's used to a Sunday->Saturday layout on a calendar, whereas for me I'd assume the 2nd were a Friday based on that position as I'm used to Monday->Sunday calendars.

(Update: OK, the days ARE labelled - incorrectly. You have to click on the screenshot on Twitter to see the full screenshot. Keeping this comment here for posterity only ;-))

Assuming people start their weeks on the same day as you do is risky at best, but interestingly this case looks like they corrected the wrong way around, resulting in a week that starts on Tuesday rather than Sunday (or Monday, which it may have been before the 'correction').

I think there are probably risks that cannot be insured in practice. One of the particulars of war is that it might destroy many insured parties at once, overwhelming any conceivable insurance syndicate. Yes, you could perhaps sell a few policies with limited coverage, but if you cannot credibly calculate the probability of the event occurring it seems hard to imagine there is a price that will make sense to both parties.

While smartphone camera sensors have come a long way, lens technology did not progress as much. You still have a fixed focal length and quite small fixed aperture.

This means that your cannot control one of your 3 parameters of the exposure triangle, which is a big limitation. Also it leads to the user not being able to control the depth of field. A smartphone camera sensor is still too weak/small to offer good low light performance and your lens isn't sharp enough to allow for radical cropping.

Those are things that amateurs/non-enthusiasts don't realize but lead to any old 35mm film camera being much more capable in the hands of a skilled photographer. That being said, research on computational photography is currently making big steps and could narrow that gap quite a bit.

I will pass by all of the obvious things that could be said to arrive at the following hot take: whether or not Harvard is using them as cover to discriminate, "holistic qualities" do actually exist. There is definitely an aspect to human value that goes beyond lists of achievements, I have known some terrible people that were extremely accomplished and some great people that had coasted through highschool mostly paling around. In fact, the best people I have known consistently focus on the aspects of life that aren't measurable: to pick one random example, the quality of their relationship with their parents. Someone who sacrifices all of those things could ruin themselves in the pursuit of greatness, and we don't want to make that a necessary precondition for admission to a good school. The fact that objective "facts of record" are harder to abuse than just about anything else should not trick us in to eliminating everything but numbers from our society out of fear of abuse.

I remember reading through interesting threads on Rangefinder Forum's Philosophy of Photography section(1) that shaped my thinking on photography: For many, great technical skills and gear are the end. For artists, they're the beginning.

After all, what do we do but capture fleeting moments in a living world? Looking at moments, captured, we experience the same spark, the same life, that the photographer saw. We connect, as humans. That's powerful.

The lenses, cameras, and phones that we love to obsess over are great. I love gear as much as the next person. But gear is dead, where the world around is brimming with life. And to obsess over the gear at the expense of the art waiting for us outside the window and over the hill is to lose something precious.

As I commented below, a moment before your reply, I edited it out as I understand that it is unproductive.

See my other comment, reproduced below:

"I've shopped extensively for plant-based milks on three continents in countries that represent nearly half of the world's population. I can provably claim that they are not "usually" colored artificially in even a generous use of "usual." This has nothing to do with knowing the person who wrote the comment."

> Second, both are not milks. Milks are what comes out of animals mammary glands

Sure, but this is your opinion which you're welcome to hold.

> (even legally in most jurisdictions)

Source needed for "most". I can confirm that plant milks can be labeled as milk in the US, Canada, and India, and the notable exception that I am aware of is the European Union.

It's a neat trick and I've used similar patterns in some of our projects, but in the end it doesn't buy you much over a `switch (x.kind) { ... }`. (Except your matcher can be used as a proper expression which is nice obviously)

But you don't have proper pattern nesting, fall-through semantics and it's not clear (to me yet) how to extend to matching on multiple values. Try implementing an equality function on a sum-type using pattern matching.

Having actual proper pattern matching added to TS would be such a great addition. Especially with full support of the control flow analysis.

I think you’ve totally missed the definition of “whataboutism”. When questioning the ethics of a specific firm in an industry, it’s relevant if they are behaving exactly the same as everyone else in the same industry.

“Perdue chickens are kept in cages!” is flimsy journalism if every large scale chicken farm also keeps their chicken in cages, and the article fails to explain why Perdue is being singled out.

Reporting on air pollution by cars and how it’s changed over the years, and responding that coal power also pollutes, is whataboutism because there’s no expectation of why the pollution level of one would be relevant to the other.

Singling out BMW and talking about how much pollution those specific cars produce because they are more likely to be driven by white collar workers, without explaining if those cars are actually producing more pollution per mile, it would not be “whataboutism” to question - what about the pollution from other brands? Is BMW actually worse or do the people who drive them just make a juicy target?

I teach stop motion classes for kids. Several of my students say they use the iPad version of iMovie and they seem happy with it.

For stop motion animation, there is an app called just “stop motion” which is pretty good. It is free, but there are some in-app purchase upgrades that may be worthwhile.

We like to start kids off shooting 2D scenes, with the camera up above the table. You can balance your phone on a stack of books for free, or for about $35 (IIRC) you can get a gadget from amazon that is like the arm from a clamp-on desk lamp, but with a selfie-stick-style phone/tablet holder instead of a lamp. Either way, I recommend grabbing the earbuds that came with the phone/tablet and plugging those in, because you can use the volume buttons as a shutter release that won’t jiggle your whole set up.

(Both iMovie and Stop Motion are available for iDevices of all size. I don’t know what is available for Android, but I am sure there are options.)
That calendar picker seems clearly somewhere between confusing and outright broken. [ADDED: Just broken. Click through and they do have incorrect days labeled.] But there are at least two conventions: Sun->Sat and Sat->Fri (or Mon->Sun); the US tends to be the former and Europe the latter.

Correct. There's no free lunch when it comes to volatility.
I think there's an analogy between the two issues you brought up.

1. A concurrent garbage collector is 10x more work than a single-threaded one. People often don't realize this.

2. A language-independent VM is 10x more work than a VM for a given language. People often don't realize this this.

In other words, VMs are tightly coupled to the language they implement, unless you make heroic efforts to ensure otherwise.

WebAssembly is a good example of #2. I think the team is doing a great job, but they are inevitably caught between the constraints of different languages (GC, exceptions, etc.)

The recent submission The Early History of F# sheds some light on this with respect to the CLR:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18874796

An outreach project called “Project 7” was initiated: the aim was to bring seven commercial languages and seven academic languages to target Lightning at launch. While
in some ways this was a marketing activity, there was also serious belief and intent. For help with defining the academic languages James Plamondon turned to Microsoft Research (MSR).

I think this is the only way to design a language-independent VM -- port a whole bunch of languages to it. And there are probably 4 or 5 companies in the world with the resources to do this.

I've seen some VM designs that aim to be generic, but since they were never tested, the authors are mistaken about the range of languages they could efficiently support.

Of course, you can always make a language run on a given VM, but making it run efficiently is the main problem.

Your opinion on the predicted effects of climate change, are so far off from reality, that you are actually more incorrect than the climate change deniers.

No scientist believes that civilization is going to collapse because of climate change.

The predicted effects, according to the scientific consensus, is that sea levels will rise by a meter or 2 over the next hundred years. That is not an extinction level event. Not even close.

The scale of how bad things are, are more on the scale of trillions of dollars worth of damages. Thats bad, but it is bad on the same scale as another Iraq war, and not bad on the scale of billions dieing.
