I see it as decoupling the system administrator tasks from the software tasks. Sys admins can setup the OS, volumes, kubernetes, and monitoring processes. Application developers can do their own thing and deploy apps without having to care about the details of which mount their app needs for disks or the intricacies of whichever process runner they use.

God has a number in mind. If the sum total of good deeds minus bad deeds exceeds this number then everyone goes to heavan. If not then everyone goes to hell.

Then he said to me, “Imagine, something you do could send everyone to hell.”

scott_s is right - the "flavor packs" contain only chemicals extracted from the fruit, so they are still classified as "100% orange juice". But that doesn't mean they are "natural" or guarantee they are safe. And the companies will agree it is a tradeoff - there's no way they could meet the demand with fresh-squeezed juice. It requires a shelf-stable "solution" (pun intended).

For an extreme example (I don't think orange juice flavor packs are like this in intent or effect), apple and cherry seeds contain small amounts of amygdalin, which digestion turns into cyanide. https://sciencenotes.org/yes-apple-seeds-and-cherry-pits-con... Eating apples and cherries, even eating the occasional seed is not harmful, but processing could concentrate the amygdalin, making a very unsafe product that is still "100% apple juice".

Almonds even more so - the amygdalin is apparently an important element of the almond flavor, but some varieties of almonds have enough that they are poisonous with only a few (apparently tasty!) nuts http://articles.latimes.com/2002/feb/20/food/fo-almond20

They buy as much land and property as possible in Dublin city, and then just leave it sit there. This lowers the supply of space in the city thus increasing the value of all their land, which enables them to get loans to buy even more land.

More generally, an awful lot of systems that'd be fine with a SQL mirror (non-failover), some real backups on top, and a restore-from-backup event every 3-5 years, plus the occasional 1hr maintenance window, are instead made "HA" and "redundant" at 10+x the ops cost and, unless very well done, with even more down-time anyway because they're so damn complex.
Regarding the proportionality of media reports: "the right wing" is ~30-50% of the population (depends on how you want to define it), Muslims make up ~1%.

Patrick's explanation is that because of buyer's remorse, and because if a thing is going to break, it often breaks early in its expected lifetime, people are more likely to buy an item (e.g. a refrigerator) soon after buying another one than they are to buy the item in general.

Okay, that makes sense to me. They go from 0.02% likelihood of wanting to buy a fridge to, let's say, 2% likelihood. A marvelous leap!

But even though they are now much more likely to buy another fridge than the average person ... I would think that they would be more likely still to buy other types of products than to buy another refrigerator.

Even if their likelihood of needing to buy more consumable products (e.g. deodorant) is only 5%, that's still double the likelihood of their likelihood to buy a fridge again.

So I would think that there would be some bias toward more frequently purchased items, even if your likelihood of buying a less frequently purchased item does indeed increase after purchase.

I'm sure the math checks out somehow, and that the creators of the recommendations algorithm wouldn't be pursuing strategies that don't work, but I don't think Patrick's explanation fully captures it.

I believe you're right for the recursive version (though a recursive version of shunting yard makes very little sense), but this distinction largely evaporates with an explicit stack.

E.g. Pratt is basically writing a generic recursive descent component ("parse left; parse operand; parse right") and then passing down a precedence where you terminate the subtree parse. That's a large part of the appeal - it slots seamlessly into a recursive descent parser without looking "alien", and it was what I started with. It's nice because it is top down.

The naive way of making the stack explicit here is to "push" a fake stack frame when you would have recursed, and pop when you would have exited. But to do all tree of the parse_left/parse_operand/parse_right triple this way you then need to push additional frames to run those steps one after each other, and you end up with something really ugly. But if you trace the processing of those additional frames, what you will see then is quickly that you can drop them by just splitting the stack into operands and operators. Then you have shunting yard.

So you're sort of right that a naive translation of Pratt that retains the top-down nature of recursive Pratt is distinct from shunting yard, but once you simplify it the before/after distinction evaporates, as there's nothing in between to make the decision before/after.

I think the distinction is large enough that it makes sense to treat them as different algorithms, but the transformation is still mostly a mechanical exercise. Each step is fairly straightforward.
And we are lucky that with software we have the flexibility to rebuild without many of the costs other disciplines face. If I want to rebuild a skyscraper in its same location for the same purpose, I can't build it offsite and then quickly publish it to the building site. I also don't get to reuse any of the cement or girders I used to build it the first time. Additionally, I can't easily redesign a skyscraper to support a totally new use case while not impacting existing tenants and the way the use the building.
