It moves generationally, as new platforms are invented and people seek to capitalize on the platform before the performance is really all there. When you're doing anything at the bleeding edge, you really need to know the details of the platform and squeeze every ounce of performance out of it, because there's probably not enough performance to go around. When the edge moves to the center, stops bleeding, and the platform gets optimized, those sorts of hacks become silly anachronisms.

I remember doing Javascript games in 2007 (before V8 introduced a JIT to JS) and very carefully optimizing loops, avoiding DOM calls, eschewing JQuery, etc. to get acceptable performance. As late as 2009 we were counting bytes on the Google search results page (like literally; we'd do things like "for(var i=0,e; e=c[i++];)" to save a byte in a foreach loop). Solidity programmers on the Ethereum VM today use tricks like switching out opcodes and moving functionality into library contracts, sometimes at the expense of locking tens of millions of dollars worth of ETH forever.

Nobody counts bytes or manually moves common subexpressions out of loops in JS today; you just use Babel. But as computing matures, the bottleneck moves, and people seek out new domains that are just becoming possible, and then have to develop a new bag of tricks.
On a keto diet one seeks to eat (typically) less than 25g of carbohydrates a day. That's net carbs, btw, so subtract fiber or sugar alcohols. For reference, that's an apple.

It's a pretty interesting diet. Attractive if you're overweight because of eating habits (me) because you can eat "a lot" and still lose weight - as long as you don't eat carbs. Not as good if you're only losing, say, 10 lbs, because as soon as you get off keto you'll bloat right back up to those 10 lbs.
You could make a coherent argument that Rust has better memory protections than C#. For instance data races are protected, that is a memory protection. Arguably replacing null with options is a form of better memory protection as well.

You did say that, though. You said "lower quality...for instance...peanut butter from India...worse stuff". If it's not an issue, why did you include it in a statement of issues?

I was fascinated with Midori as a Microsoft employee but nearly 10 years later I’ve resigned that it will probably be forever a research toy and not be subject to the same scrutiny as Windows.
Yeah that is if they limit attempts and put code expiry in place which instagram did not have and as well it's missing warning systems for users as well as a temporary locking mechanism for such a feature if fraud is detected by the user.
Those limits are more important to personalities than a lambda user.

I wouldn't be surprised if whales or dolphins at some point in time had fairly evolved means of communication. They still might, but it's possible that killing off the majority of their population has significantly curtailed what ever culture they previously had. Just a speculation, there is a lot about alternative forms of communication and intelligence that we don't know.

And that seems perfectly reasonable to me[1]. One of the main examples in the article actually shows they got to the point of shipping, and I'm not seeing a whole lot of outrage at any response (or even a response) from Amazon.

[1] edit: and I'll admit I hadn't actually read the contract myself. I do when (a) I think there's actually a reasonable chance I'll walk away from the transaction rather than just risk losing $15 because I'm not satisfied, and (b) when the company bears some cost due to the complexity of the contract - like when they're standing there waiting for me to say I've read and understood it. I think it's problematic that almost no one reads what they're agreeing to, and everyone knows that, and we're all just okay with it. No idea how we fix that, but so long as we're talking about asymmetries in these transactions, the effort companies put into these contracts that they know perfectly well almost no one is reading scares me more than handling of price discrepancies.
Isn't this the whole point of yearly subscriptions? Seems like you should be shaking your fist at the sky instead of at Pluralsight.

Hi guys,

I made this tool to vertically combine multiple spreadsheets and CSV files. There are many ways to do this, Pandas in Python provides a great set of features, but I found myself repeatedly writing and tinkering with my set of functions for this often used task.

In 1962 when Grumman was awarded the contract for the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), Thomas Kelly was promoted to be the lead engineer. He was 32 or 33.

I ran out of money in college and didn't think to turn to loans, grants, parents, food bank or anything. I managed to keep paying rent but ran out of food except for a bag of flour and a gallon of oil. I literally lived on nothing but Navajo style fry bread. Just a simple water flour dough fried in some oil.

It's absolutely insane to look back on, but it makes me understand how people fall into eating so terribly when you're poor.

Looking back I would instead just eat potatoes, carrots, rice, beans, and try and throw some apples/oranges in there occasionally. Homemade bread when you've got time is a nice and cheap addition as well. You can live just fine on everything I just listed and it won't cost you much.
quite the oposite, I learned that I'm allergic to plants, I'd rather eat insects before I go back to legumes and nightshades
This is insane.

Go to Aldi or Lidl. You can buy fresh seasonal vegetables there. Some frozen vegetables are cheaper (spinach, green beans out-of-season). Pasta, gnocci and potatoes are all very cheap. Pulses are also cheap if bought in bulk.

You should be able to grow your own basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary and parsley.

With that you can cook healthy and tasty food on a small budget.
As someone who has been broke, it's pretty crazy to start think of food intake in terms of price per calorie. I need more food than the average human, as I am 6'5" / 196cm tall. For a few years, I'd drink a lot of skim milk to get protein. I could get 2 quarts (1.9L) for about $2.99 USD, which contained something like 60 or 70 grams of protein. There weren't many sources cheaper than that, except for larger volumes that were hard for me to acquire & store.

The merge commits made by Linus will have as their date and time the time when he made the merge locally on his own machine, which can be different from the time that he pushed those changes out (and given that he specifically designed git to have this capability it seems rather plausible that he uses it).

Merge commits are really the same as non-merge commits. The only difference is the number of parent commits, which is irrelevant for this discussion.
> Is there any good reason for that?

No.

> Are fatty foods and empty carbs cheaper to produce than less processed, healthier food?

They are subsidized by the government, ie: Corn subsidies. That said, even without subsidies, I'd imagine that they'd be cheaper for another reason: You can store them long term without too much cost.

> More to the point, is there money to be made by making real food more readily available?

Not likely. Any advantage you squeeze out could probably be copied by another company willing to sell less healthy food. So the only your only real option for differentiation would be marketing how healthy your food is. But that requires people to care.

If the government provided free healthy food to everyone, fully cooked, ready to go, at a reasonably well-prepared level, at as many locations as there are fast food restaurants, then, I think it would actually make some impact on health.

Hm. Maybe the government should just subsidize salads at restaurants/fast food joints.
Right, my five year old really enjoys going without food for extended periods of time. Crazy how hunger calms his temperament.
Nope.

There are many other reasons. The most obvious one is self-medicating, either stress or some undiagnosed condition. People are good at unconsciously developing coping mechanisms.
Git rebase interactive with fixup or squash will combine the commits into the first one. So the timestamp will still be somewhat reflective of when work is done (on average).

It's not some law of nature that corn syrup is cheap in the US and used in everything, it's subsidies. If the path of least resistance was bread and baked potatoes (both very cheap and efficient) the US would be in a better place than it is now.

You definitely wouldn't use robotic arms for the dishwasher unloading.

You would make it the base of the cabinet. After the dishes were cleaned a dummy waiter system could correctly route dishes, cups, and silver ware to their correct apartments directly above the dishwasher.

But you would need to buy dishes that were designed specifically to be a part of your dishwasher package.

And I'm not sure how a robot could help you load a dishwasher. Unless you are talking about some sort of advanced roomba following you around picking up after you. That would actually be great for my fat pig of a roommate. I hate that son of a bitch.
> Is there a similar programming language that makes mathematicians feel at home?

The problem is not writing stuff down. The problem is reasoning about what you have written down.
With popular languages it's really hard, to say what a line of code does.
It depends on so many things (global state, scoping, local state), that you have to spell out.
Google "Semantics of Programming Languages" to get an idea, what's involved with formally reasoning about code.

To have a chance to do manipulations by hand, you have to give up, at least:

- Mutable State
- Side-effects (I/O)

(pure) Scheme and Haskell come into mind as contenders.

Am I allowed to read this?
My senior year physics teacher in high school was a PhD student at Princeton who was doing teaching waiting to get back to his doctoral thesis research.

Apparently, his work was with the Plasma Lab, primarily the Tokamak they had. Someone at some point had dropped a wrench or something on the bus bars of the capacitor bank used to power it - and, well, that was that. So he couldn't continue his studies until it was repaired.

In the meantime, he taught us.

Strange guy, but insanely intelligent, and fun to talk with. He always stressed the importance of "doing the experiment" - so we were always doing a practical experiments as a group to show how what we were shown and learned in class actually worked (within margins of error of course). I learned a ton in that class.

After I graduated, I think he taught there one more year, then a few years later I looked him up, and he was back at Princeton, but was now working on something having to do with Materials science; I'm not sure what he's up to today, though - that was a couple decades ago. He wasn't much older than us at the time; late 20s or so.
I think you need to re-read your posts.

Read your admission that half of the stated areas of competition law they're investigating are related to abuse of market position and contrast it with my original point:

It must steer clear of the idea that “all we have to do is convey to people how to eat sensibly and then everything will be fine,” he says. “That would be a significant step backwards.”

“I’ll give you an example,” he adds, “If everyone followed Public Health England’s eating advice, people in the bottom decile of household income would spend 74 per cent of their income on food. So, there’s not much point telling them follow the healthy eating advice they can’t afford.

I think I can see why. Here is Public Health England's "A Quick Guide to the Government’s Healthy Eating Recommendations":

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

It advises people to eat more expensive meat (oily fish) in place of cheaper meats, and to eat large portions of fruits and vegetables. Those two factors look to explain the cost increase. The other advice (choose unsaturated oils, eat complex carbohydrates instead of simple ones) does not require buying more expensive foods.

If you just bought foods according to the pictures and examples in the Public Health England brochure, you could spend a lot more money on food. It's possible to follow dietary recommendations without spending much (if any) more if you know how to budget and optimize, and if you already have a stove and refrigerator/freezer. I don't really think it's possible if you don't have a refrigerator/freezer. Limited transportation options can make it harder too.

Worst of all, IMO, is that the brochure and linked eating guides contain no sample meal plans, shopping plans, or example prices/budgets. Bridging this sort of gap used to be (still is?) sometimes taught in Home Economics and Personal Finance classes in the United States. (I took both in high school.) It's also the sort of skill that children often used to acquire from their parents, but perhaps acquire less often now. It's way too hard for someone without that skill to go from this Healthy Eating brochure to a cost-and-health satisficing shopping plan with accompanying meal plans.
Grains are so heavily subsidized it distorts incentives. The actual costs without subsidies would significantly reduce the relative cost of greens etc and thus tend to a better diet for most people. We are actively and at great cost making things worse.
My old college roommates and I are purchasing a 4 acre lot. A few of us are ready to put down houses now. I feel like this kind of thing is becoming more common? I know we weren't the first people with this idea. Land and housing is so expensive that we can't all individually own homes, but if we pool money on land this becomes possible. And doesn't everyone want their friends to be their neighbors? We have to develop alternative strategies to make it through the future.
I think this is an important lesson for an awful lot of online communities -- in a public forum* some mild, warranted criticism is then published to your friends and they are then encouraged by the algorithm to put in their tuppence-worth. Should any of those be inclined to comment -- perhaps less sensitively, slightly more inflammatory -- then the cycle begins anew, with more fuel added to the fire.

> Early Roman Empire had a polytheistic religions in common. It expanded its power after monotheism.

No, it didn’t “expand its power after monotheism”. The Roman Empire didn’t even begin its official flirtation with Christianity until well into the 4th century CE. However, most historians consider the Roman Empire to have been in its waning days then, as it never fully recovered from all the shocks of the 3rd century. The full extent of Rome’s power happened under paganism and well before Christianity was anything more than a small, persecuted sect.

not paradoxical at all. i went through a similar experience. i found that for me the solution was to have very few but very close friends, including my wife. those then were the only people that i could socialize with without being exhausted. but even then i need a few hours to myself every day.

the hardest part was how long it took to understand the problem. you seem to understand the problem already, and that puts you into the position to do something about it.

you don't need to strike up the band. find activities that you are interested in. a hobby, or volunteer somewhere. the nice thing about both is that you are not expected to do it for the sake of meeting people, so you don't need to push yourself to talk to anyone, and noone will mind if you just focus on the work. the socialization will come eventually. by the time you get to look a woman into the eyes, you may already have shared your activities for a few months or more. i met my wife that way.
From a practical point of view, it's likely that much space law will be decided by the countries that send stuff into space. That seems reasonable since they have a clear vested interest in protecting their citizens, the possessions of their citizens and regulating the activities of their citizens.

That's not really imperialism, just a matter of responsibility. Clearly the US and any other space going nation should be held responsible for the activities of it's citizens and enterprises in space as elsewhere, and has responsibilities towards them as well.

Where that line of reasoning reaches the end of it's tether is when we come to consider property rights over pre-existing assets and territory in space.
