> Dropping $5 you don't have on overpriced coffee is proving that it has no power over you.

Buying overpriced stuff you don't really need with money you don't have has to be somewhere in the definition of "money has power over me". For me, to be truly independent means to not need money a) because you have enough and b) because you don't need to compulsively spend it. b) leads to a) btw.
The central concept behind Christof Wetterich's proposal is scale invariance: Imagine you try to measure the size of the universe with a yard stick. If you measure that the universe is expanding, you can't be sure that it really is the universe expanding, or maybe just your yard stick shrinking.

This is true in so-called scale invariant theories. These theories do not contain any intrinsic length scale. The moment your theory contains a fundamental length l you break scale invariance. In this case you are able to compare your yard stick to the length l to find out if your yard stick was shrinking or the universe really is expanding.

Our present model of the world still contains a few fundamental length scales (such as the Planck length, or a length scale associated to the nuclear force), but people such as Christof Wetterich are building models that try to get rid of (some of) these fundamental length scales. A major approach in this direction is asymptotically safe quantum gravity, that also led Christof Wetterich and Mikhail Shaposhnikov to the most precise prediction of the Higgs mass prior to the Higgs' discovery in 2009, see https://arxiv.org/abs/0912.0208.

I agree with you, in that it's an essential skill for our job. However, from my experience at least, I've found that going head first into the source code of something you don't really understand how it works, is not the best course of action.

Had a 'poor' friend I'd hang with at the University Library. He somehow would get fast food or restaurant food, he worked at a car wash and his uncles cleaning company.

Met him in 2014, and in 2017 he had a panic when he was kicked out of his house. He came over for a moment and asked for any spare change, gave him ~5-10$.

This talk didn't hook me, but then again, it looks like it's aimed at developers who jumped on the NoSQL bandwagon and now need to be told why SQL is clever.

I feel that much of what we do with map, reduce, sort and filter on arrays in modern JS is similar to SQL. Unfortunately, there is no query optimisation, because that would break your procedural code.

What I'd like to see more of is domain-specific languages embedded in general-purpose languages, like React with JSX, or just a better bridge between the two. We have these two worlds of in-memory data structures on one side, and databases on the other, that we keep separate. NoSQL was an attempt at bringing them together, but it put far too little emphasis on complex queries and filters.

It would be nice if we could just define data structures and their relations once and not have to do it again. It would be nice if foreign keys neatly mapped to object references in OOP and everything stayed live, so if you change a reference, that happens instantly in the database too, unless you wrap it in a transaction block.

Now pull this off while still retaining the ability to open an SQL REPL to test out statements, or manipulate field definitions.

I think that's what everyone wants, really. A seamless way for code to interact with data on all levels, with no perceptible boundary once you've opened a session to your DB server.
I've also found that it leads to the browser using more and more memory to the point that my computer starts swapping unless I close the tab every so often.

>Yet, as it turns out, biology cannot be reduced in the way that physics can. Genetics is a madman’s den of complexity, nonlinearity, and unpredictability.

If you force your types to only ever interact with primitives at certain boundaries of your app, you can test for the "what if it's not an integer" stuff at the boundaries only. I.e. the core APIs never see a magic string, an integer, or any other such untyped thing.

In reality, there are always times where that falls a little flat, which is where IMO Gradual Typing comes into its own. The "core", with some assumptions about the boundaries, be statically analysed. You can add your times(int n) method safe in the knowledge that you'll get a runtime error if someone messes up the dynamic type or doesn't run the analyser.

Ultimately, as I want to run all my code before I put into to production, a lack of runtime errors from my tests tells me my code is correct for the situations I designed it to handle. Now if someone comes along later and manages to invoke a state that I hadn't considered, well... all bets are off.
" it was always made clear to me that games and television do not reflect reality"

And to me it was allways clear that this is just a legal disclaimer.

Of course games and videos reflect reality. Not 100% accurate, no, and some allmost 0% but btw. no scientific model does 100%, even though they are obviously more accurate and I would like more games to be based on scientific models.

But for example angry birds, very succesful, obviously fiction, but the core game mechanic is a physic simulation(Box2D) which works as realistic as a 2d computer can work in a game, so you can learn about kinetics with it.
I hate it, it's infinitely worse. Here are a few issues:

- It's much slower/bulkier. I don't want a modern machine just render webpages.

- Infinite scrolling designs are good for addiction, but not actually good for reading. If I have to reload the page, my spot is gone.

- Much less content actually fits on a page, and I suspect this is done to encourage scrolling, similar to facebook's strategy. Increase addiction, tracking, and ad impressions through engagement.

- There seem to be a lot more emojis and post flair.

- There seem to be A lot more promoted posts

There's probably other stuff I haven't noticed. Between the redesign, the enhanced user tracking, their desire to go public, and tencent's investment, it's pretty clear that it's getting to be time to abandon reddit completely.

Review: Our Planet – Netflix nature documentary narrated by David Attenborough
> Impoverished people aren't poor because they occasionally buy coffee

Impoverished people might be poor because they take everything literally and can't see the big picture though. Yes, frivolous spending absolutely has something to do with poverty. It's so clear and obvious and when I look at every example of a person that I know that could be called poor vs someone that is rich there is the same pattern: The poor ones HATE doing what's necessary, work, personal grooming, cleaning, eating healthy, working out whatever but they LOVE spending money they don't have on things they don't need and that will not make them happy. If you try to stop them from spending, they suffer. But if they spend it's the hedonistic treadmill: increase amount and GOTO 10.

Rich people I know LOVE to work. They would work for free. They get up and go work and if you stop them they suffer. The rich people I know HATE spending money. It causes them physical discomfort. IF they spend, they consider it for quite some time, look for deals or wait for special offers. Subsequently they are very happy with their purchases and keep them maintained and in good order.

> They're poor because there's an economic system currently in place which is slurping as much wealth away from as many people as possible to feed it to just a few.

None of this is true. We are getting wealthier and wealthier from this magnificent system that lifted BILLIONS out of poverty the last 50 years.

> small pleasures

This is a perfect example of the poverty mindset: consume to be happy. There is enough pleasure to be had without spending a single dime, in fact, the most fulfilling activities will net you money directly or indirectly. It's possible to be content without spending money all the time. If you think that the happiness in your life comes down to small or large purchases you are already on the wrong path. Just turn back.

And by the way, the story of lotto winners is instructive: you simply can't spend your way out of the poverty mindset.

Nietzsche is probably the most overrated philosopher who ever lived. He was a manic who instead of learning from the world withdrew into a fantasy version built from well-phrased sound bites (or "aphorisms" - which sounds nicer). His ideas primarily serve the purpose of confirming elitist and Darwinian perspectives predominantly popular among people who hold a grudge against society because they didn't get a large enough chunk from the big cake.

Realistically because while they are similar many languages are for different problems or are trying to solve different problems.
I think you're mixing the result of implementation and the way something's implemented. Darcs relies on abstract theory which implemented didn't end up very performant or full of features. But it would be close to the same speed if it was implemented in terrible C. On the other hand you can write provable implementation of git with similar speed as the current one.

> ...and I’ve been looking at Elixir to generate the necessary actor simulation engine. Looks to me like you have that here in Rust.

I will caution that Elixir's runtime performance, particularly with simulation type code, is abysmal. Also, last time I was using Elixir, the available profiling infrastructure was really terrible; I had to buy a new workstation with 64GiB of RAM just to be able to fit the profiling artifacts from one iteration of our small model in memory, which was required in order for it to complete in less than infinite time.
Calling them "rules" was probably a mistake. "Principles" would be a better description and of course they dont guarantee anything but I stand by the concept that anyone who aspires to follow them will most likely escape poverty. And while the concepts are simple I fully acknowledge that they could, given your circumstances, be enormously difficult to follow. But do you have a better proposal, do you think throwing some small amount of money will fix it ? Change comes from within and the conceit is that you can "fix" other people.
Indeed! This has always mystified me. Why is it so easy to implement what is now considered to be an anti-pattern (inheritance) when it's so boilerplate and annoying to implement composition? Why does C# not have language support for delegating members? Why do I have to buy and use ReSharper just to generate all that boilerplate? It's a constant battle talking to "just get it done" developers about why inheritance is bad.

> edge of the universe looks like? What does it even mean?

I think you should start with:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe

And only then with:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_universe

In short, what can ever influence "our" part of the universe is limited by the speed of light being constant and being the physical "speed limit", and by the fact that the age of the universe is less than 14 billion years. (Earth alone is 4.5 billion years old).

Fascinatingly enough, we can "see" in each direction we look at up to the distance of around 46 billion light years, even if the age of the universe is just 13.8 billion years (that 46bly in one direction is the result of the accumulated expansion of the universe since the beginning). And the farthest things we see are also the oldest, as we effectively "look back in the past" when we look at the distance (due to the speed of light being constant). So when we look far enough we see almost up to the beginning of the universe (up to the point when the universe was "clear enough" for us to see after the beginning). The CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) is the "leftover glow" of the big bang that reaches us now, from that earliest past:

https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/this-is-how-we-know-th...

Then one can try to guess what's there behind the physical limits that are fixed for us, but we will never have the direct data about that:

That's how you define a method in Go. The local to the left of the function name is the receiver (what `this` would be in Java).

Note that there are a few odd bits to Go methods: the receiver can be a value or a pointer, and if the receiver is a pointer it might be null, because method calls on concrete types are statically dispatched so

type S struct{}
func (self *S) Foo() {
fmt.Printf("%v\n", self)
}
func main() {
var s *S
s.Foo()
}

will print "<nil>".
That’s a whole different problem in a whole other place. It’s not either of them not working.
