You asked me where I think you didn't address certain points. As you didn't address them, I have no text from you to copy or refer to, I can only point around the area where you didn't talk, to show that it exists.

When you say "work to get smarter instead", that says the problem is a lack of work and a lack of "smart", and therefore that people are ill because they're dumb. It follows from what you said, even though you did not write those words out. So yes, I imply that your responses are your responses.

How is that different from telling me I did not supply citations?

I don't want to read citations, I mentioned them as one example of what "addressing a point" could look like, so that the absence of any of these possible things supports that you didn't address them.

You do seem unreasonable and unnecessarily combative in this subthread. I've had to read over it several times to figure out how your comments are appropriate replies, and I’m not seeing it.

That commenter wasn't mounting an argument for a position on whether or not "saturated fat in butter was going to clog your arteries and kill you" - just explaining the thinking behind those who preferred margarine.

But it's also not "established science" that "saturated fat is bad for health". If it were that simple, any food containing saturated fat would never appear in the "healthy in low-moderate quantities" section of a mainstream recommended diet chart.

Clearly that's not the case, and clearly many experts have different things to say about this topic.

So, please stop throwing around accusations of "science denial", when any person who engages seriously with this topic knows that it is still a matter of ongoing research and discussion.

Bringing butter, peanut butter or mayonnaise on a hike is not about eating more but about carrying less.

300g of butter for example is about 2150 calories, enough food for a day for a small person. Compare that to pasta and you would need to carry more than 1.6 kg for the same amount of calories. If you're going on a five day hike you're carrying 8 kg of pasta vs only 1.5 kg of butter.

That said I only bring butter and mayonnaise on week long hikes, for weekends or day trips I don't bother.

They reverse engineer schematics from guitar effects pedal PCBs like this Fuzz Face [2], then go through the process of breaking the circuit into blocks of operation. They also simulate the circuits such as with this Tube Screamer [3] and see what effect manipulating component values has on the signal.

Yes, same here. Mild amusement but no discomfort. Had a discussion about it in a Facebook comment thread, and asked on or two of my friends. From my _very_ small sample size the number of neutral vs uncomfortable people seems about equal.

It makes sense that countries trying to follow the rules will be the ones complaining about those skirting them. You're not very well going to see complaints from Ireland about itself, are you?

This article goes to great alarmist lengths, past the point of being deceiving. Just the very first line:

> One of the world’s most widely traded virtual currencies faces renewed doubts about its stability [...]

Tether is nothing in terms of crypto currency penetration. It does not even have a percent of daily trading. Then a few paragraphs down:

> [...] within an hour of the attorney general’s statement and Tether slid 1.4 percent.

1.4 per cent. Even big cap stocks fluctuate that much some days.

> At the time of the correspondence, Bitcoin was trading at around $6,500. It dropped 4.7 percent to $5,236.03 at 12:10 p.m. in Hong Kong on Friday.

So they mention a price from 8 months ago, and then mention yesterday's price, implying that it fell that much because of this event.

Acquiring skills usually means: practicing, practicing and practicing.

I had the very same problem in software dev - I knew how to code, I knew how to read source code, but I had no clue how I should structure my program, build an architecture, etc. And yes, while there are books which will talk you through certain architectures, you still need to acquire an understanding on a much broader base. You might not want to structure your bread-and-butter software in a way the linux kernel is structured, for example - for reasons that become obvious once you've gathered enough knowledge to understand why certain things are working the way they are working.

So I just kept practicing stuff, kept reading pattern books, kept reading source code - and tried to find the patterns I learned. Also, I tried to read a lot of "post-mortems" of failed and successful projects, so that I could get a clue what works and what doesn't. At the end, though, I got most of the knowledge while actually building programs and failing at them.

I'm pretty sure there is something like "patterns" in electronics. It might make sense to dig books that resembles these. While I'm not that knee-deep into electronics, I think you might be able to recognize certain patterns after a lot of practicing.

My advice would be: Grab an easy to understand electronic device, disassemble it, and try to rebuild the schematic with your components. You might want to start with your radio clock, for instance. This would be how I'd acquire the skills necessary. You didn't mention your existing skill set, so replace "radio clock" with whatever you think might work for you.
However, keep in mind that you are a) a single person and b) have only a certain amount of time at hand. I wouldn't expect a hobbiyst to decipher and fully rebuild a modern, high-tech device. Also, to keep yourself motivated, you might want to set smaller milestones.

Maybe digging through some repair guides could help? E.g.: http://www.industrial-electronics.com/Diagnose-Repair-Elec_0... or https://www.amazon.com/How-Diagnose-Everything-Electronic-Se... ?

Oh, and: Once you are done, write a book about it. Maybe you just discovered a niche that isn't filled yet. :)

The 1995 Multicultural Shirley Card image in the article is beyond my skill, but I was a little confused by it, in a way that might be relevant to the article.

I'd expect it to let you calibrate for the black woman's hair detail without blowing out the white dress, but this image on my screen (print? scan?) doesn't seem to have done that.

It looks like the black woman's hair is almost lost in this image, yet it looks like the photographer put a hair light on the blonde woman, and not on the black woman.

(Lighting: In the reflections in their eyes, it looks like two studio lights. A narrow hair light for the blonde, from camera left, might be a third. Also looks like a backdrop light behind, which might also be doing that small hint of rear lighting on camera right of the black woman's hair, which emphasizes that the rest of the hair isn't lit as well as it could be.)

(Outfit exposure: The gray outfit might be Gray Card gray, and you can also compare it to the white outfit. The black dress looks hopeless for exposure, at least in this print/scan.)

(Focus: The blonde head looks in a bit softer focus, which might be accidental or glamorous.)

Summary:

- We don't need separate processes if the language we use is inherently safe (e.g., modern Common Lisp).

- Without process isolation, it is possible to share large, complicated and possibly mutable data structures (graphs, arrays, user-defined objects) system-wide.

- Once it is possible to cheaply share and communicate arbitrary data structures, it is pointless to maintain designated 'file system'.

- Not having a file system raises the question of what data should be persistent and what shouldn't. But on a modern computer, it is feasible to just treat all data as persistent (maybe excluding the youngest GC generation).

The best news is that the author is actually working hard to implement this operating system. The first part - the Lisp implementation - is already in a pretty good shape and could be finished within the next two years:

From a business-model perspective, Google are definitely an advertising company, and so are Facebook.

If USDT would go to 0 instantly many things would happen (a few of the biggest BTC fiat markets would not be able to operate, such as binance's main BTC market). As a practical example big traders would obviously sell their tether straight into crypto on those markets. But since they don't want to be exposed to that much crypto they would sell the same amount on other exchanges (such as Coinbase). In these chaotic events the biggest traders will fly to safety for most on their books (actual fiat, or hedged via derivatives).

But that's not the potential issue being described: Tether is supposed to be worth 1 dollar. A lot of big crypto markets run on tether. If it turns out that a lot of crypto was bought with synthetic dollars (tether) that turned out to be a lot less than a dollar, that would mean the price of many crypto projects got to where it is by imaginary money. In another word: overpriced.

The thing is that even if you do not specify a type, you've implicitly specified the `Any` type. And type checking (which always happens at runtime, whether or not you've explicitly specified any types) will be done against that.

So I'm very curious as to what code exposed a slowdown after explicit types were added.

When I was kid I had seizure and lost control of my body, I could see and hear people but couldn't respond or move my body. I told my wife to pull the plug if I ever loose consciousness and doctor's are iffy about my recovery. I rather terminate myself than ever go through the same experience.
Agreed. IMHO Nadella did a few things that made an enormous difference:

- End the war on open source and instead embrace it. This unlocked a lot of potential and put a stop to a lot of counter productive efforts in MS where the only point was "not invented here". Some of these things were already tolerated grudgingly under Balmer but Nadella made it company policy to embrace it 100%. There are many examples of this ranging from reviving .net via the mono ecosystem, launching mssql on linux, making linux a first class citizen on Azure (now a key driver in the valuation), vs code studio, the github acquisition, embracing chromium, etc. Through this, MS regained a lot of the street credibility with developers that it used to have in the nineties and subsequently lost.

- Kill off windows phone and de-emphasize the windows brand in favor of an office on any platform type approach. Office now runs great on ipads, os-x, browsers, android, as well as windows laptops. Not having the distraction of windows first means all the non windows teams that are making lots of money (azure, office, etc) can now focus on doing the right thing on non MS platforms instead of up-selling windows to their users. Balmer left Nadella one huge headache which was the Nokia acquisition (I used to work there). Nadella killed that off swiftly and decisively by effectively starving it of resources and almost immediately cutting staff by the tens of thousands.

- Fix the toxic work culture. There was a lot of negativity around this topic under Balmer. It seems much less of an issue these days.
> Personally, I still eat meat, but have moved (aside from eating out, which I do rarely) to buying all of my animal products from farms that are certified for specific animal welfare conditions.

Whenever I hear people say this, I'm really sceptical. Does this mean never buying any products with animal ingredients? Nothing that has butter or milk, no ice cream, never a turkey sandwich or anything with egg or gelatine in it, like candy? Because if you do, they most probably don't come from farms certified for their animal welfare.

I'm not trying to attack you personally, it's just that I suspect that you either exclude the majority of animal products you consume, or you're one of the rare people that never buys anything with a list of ingredients.

If you're the latter, that's great, because I think that's a very good way of knowing exactly what you eat. I want to get better at eating from basic ingredients myself, where I snack on things like an apple or nuts and not something with 5-10 ingredients.

I was referring specifically to the developers of NPM and provided links to examples of them abusing their power.

Yes creating a non authoritarian fork is the only effective alternative, which is why I mention yarn. Yarn might not solve all of the problems with NPM but it showed the NPM developers that people would build alternatives if NPM pushed them to it.

In response NPM has lifted a lot of yarns features and improved its speed. Despite not being perfect it was at least affective enough as an alternative for NPM to notice and fear.
> Program X measured less than Program Y.

That's like asking what does a program do and being told, "it does what the code says." Technically true, but not what we mean when we ask. Also, I don't think that's really what the site's authors thought. After all, when I click on the Haskell page, I don't see a comparison of Haskell programs, but a comparison of the fastest Haskell program with the fastest Java program. It's not obvious to me what that means, or even that it means anything at all.

> Seems like your idea of a comparison, between for-example Lisp and Java programs, would require writing all the Lisp programs as if they were being written in Java. (We used up our "one variable change" with SBCL instead-of OpenJDK).

That's exactly right, but because that's rather tedious, I would present just meaningful comparisons rather than non-meaningful ones, so no inter-language comparisons. I'm not saying they're always meaningless, but they can't be made with the data currently available on that site. Unfortunately, we cannot manufacture (non-fictitious) meaning out of data as we like.

> Do you mean that you made mistakes when you made your summary.

Yes. By "better than nothing" I overestimated the significance of results, at least in this case. After a closer look I realized that different programs use different algorithms, and so the comparison tells me nothing about the relative speed of those languages.
I guess that's why there aren't too many Chinese made phones sold in the US.
