> fantastic job for decades

For 3 decades, Sing was a nothing special, "socialism-lite" place with slow life and panelbaus, of which locals thought of as their biggest achievement.

> could never have become PM of Malaysia

Yes, because British schooled, high mannered, and high flying, if not snobbish, Lee would've never made a rapport with a typical Malaysian national (emphasis: not ethnic Malays per se). Even Malaysian Chinese at that point looked at him as if he was a some kind of space alien.

Second, Singapore was already better off at the starting point in relation to rural Malaysia.

He would've had to do way more things than just building panelbaus and sitting still for 3 decades. He wouldn't have survived his first term if he were to exercise his "vision" of nation building as a Malaysian premier.

If you think that a measure of worth for an Asian leader is just his ability to not to ruin his own country, and being able to build some social housing, that feels to me rather demeaning.

Consider this: in Sichuan and Yunnan, the two most hydro-rich provinces of China, despite the high concentration of miners over there due to cheap electricity, there is such an surplus of electricity that they abandon over a hundred TWh of hydropower every year. This abandoned water is literally run through the dam without spinning the turbines. This is more than the worldwide consumption of electricity of Bitcoin.

This is a result of mostly inadequate grid infrastructure that will take decades to solve.
> Are you seriously shocked that there are people out there that would be willing to assist law enforcement? ... They are no worse than locksmiths advertising the ability to crack safes.

Phones are far more ubiquitous and contain far more information than any family safe. Not a fair comparison.

This is a sort of lump fallacy. There's only so much energy, thus if you use some of it for something, there's that much less of it for everything else.

Commonly the fallacy occurs when talking about jobs. Someone's taken this job, so there's one less job available.

But like jobs, energy production is a market. Producers will build more plants if they're able to sell their current capacity. The capacity is not fixed.

Lately I've been doing a lot of greenfield development in Python, developing libs for in house use at my employer. We're using 3.7 currently, and I've fully embraced type hints. With proper type hints and use of pylint, you get the static checking that you'd otherwise miss. Bonus, if you're using an IDE like PyCharm, VS code or visual studio, you usually get the linting for free either as you type or on save.

I recall reading something aeons ago to the effect that the subtractive notation was not common when the numbering system was first invented, but was added (ha) much later. I've had a quick search for something definitive now, but no joy, so the story may be apocryphal.

In any case, if true it would change the record for 'longest (roman numeral) date so far' to 1999 I think (MDCCCCLXXXXVIIII)

We still see subtractive notation eschewed in various places, most notably roman numerals on clocks, though that may be more for aesthetic balance, as the 4 opposes the 8.

In almost* every variant you have to write 8 as "VIII", and because IV doesn't balance so well, you usually see IIII on clocks.

* There are cases where irregular subtractive forms are in use - so 8 could be written as IIX.

> There were people with 2k to 10k loc of experience in some language. That seems extremely low for any meaningful comparison ...

It's low if you're comparing languages based on the skills of experienced programmers, but most programmers are not terribly experienced. A comparison of languages by programmers that are novices to the language is still meaningful. A language that is easier for a novice to pick up and write good code is at the very least one good measure for the quality of the language.

> Consider: if you fire a cannonball it will follow a parabolic path, and that parabola will have a focus, right? But that doesn't mean there's anything physically real about the focus of the parabola

The parabolic path is physically real, it will not go any other way.

The same is with the paths the planets make: their form is real, they don't take any other.

If you try to draw these paths on scale, you have to draw the ellipse (which for many planets is hard to distinguish from circle, the measurements had to become precise to learn that). Also, you have to place the Sun directly in one of the foci of the ellipse.

All of these steps you have to do to make a picture that corresponds to what is measured and observed -- to make a picture reflect the physical reality.

You obviously agree that much. So when you then write "whether the Earth revolves around the sun. ... I don't think there's any valid answer besides "you can define your terms and points of reference such that it does or doesn't; there's no particular physical reality to the matter"."

You are confused with the fact that the calculations can be done using different frames of reference to make a statement that "there's no particular physical reality to the matter."

The particular reality is the ellipsoid paths and the Sun in one of the foci, and whichever calculations you do, you have to reconstruct that physical reality. These shapes and that the Sun is actually in one of the foci is what you can't "relativize away."

> Deciding whether the Earth revolves around the sunb or vice-versa ultimately boils down to choosing a frame of reference

It doesn't. The Sun is in the focus of the ellipses made by planets around it. The opposite doesn't hold.

> there really is no absolute frame of reference we can measure from.

And that has nothing to do with the fact that the Sun is in the focus of the elliptic path of each planet and not the vice versa. The planets do make that path around the Sun, what can be simplified to "they rotate around the Sun." If you ever tried to draw it it would be obvious to you too.

So you were just confused after taking that "Philosophy of Physics" class.

The point is that by writing a program in a programming language, you're doing math whether you know it or not, because all existing programming languages have a direct, isomorphic mapping to mathematical expressions.

It goes well beyond "basic arithmetic and simple Boolean logic". One of the comment semantic descriptions of imperative programming languages involves a stack of monads representing the various effects that programming language support.

While most programmers may not be aware of this, they're still writing working expressions in a formal language which is equivalent to this.

memcpy is trivially modeled as an operation on an underlying store. Such stores are a basic feature of any programming language semantics.

Putchar is easily modeled in terms of something like a state monad. In earlier semantics, such as the original denotational semantics, it was just modeled directly as a store that was threaded through a program, i.e. passed to every function.

Fork is modeled by process calculi.

If you think programming languages somehow can't be modeled by mathematics, you're essentially taking the position that they're doing something supernatural.

The difference is that programming languages are formal languages. They simply have a different syntax and semantics from traditional mathematics. The mapping between them is isomorphic.

> A lot of programming languages and computer architectures have been developed without the math in mind.

They're still formal systems. In a broad definition, they're mathematics themselves. In a narrower definition, they map isomorphically to more rigorous mathematics.
> In shooters, once you've memorized the levels and have a best gun and best loadout, the game becomes routine. Go to this corner, throw a grenade, come out shooting, duck back, hide in this bush. After time, everyone starts using the same tactics and it stops being fun.

This is then considered the "meta", most efficient tactic available, and in some communities, it will be heavily frowned upon to deviate from the established meta as that's seen as "throwing the match".

That's why a lot of multiplayer games are really fun right after release: Most players are new with no clue what they are doing, everybody is enjoying themselves even if they are messing up, they are still having fun exploring how everything works.

But as communities mature, and more people understand the mechanics at play and how best to exploit them to their gain, the community becomes more "mature" and competitive. Which is completely at odds with "messing around for fun", a process most new players learn by.
Not much - there is now a law for this sort of equipment to be manufactured in Russia, with an increasing requirement of using locally manufactured components (as they gradually become available).

Currently a lot of the microelectronics is still manufactured in Asia but there has been a steady progress in acquiring capabilities to manufacture them within Russia. The costs are usually much higher due to much lower volumes, but since these mainly go to military and government infrastructure, cost is not a concern.

"Smaller code" does not mean easier to understand. It just means less characters to read. Maybe those characters are heavily loaded with meaning, as in the case with meta programing.
