I was unfamiliar with the term roguelike. For those in the same boat, a definition from Wikipedia:

"Roguelike is a subgenre of role-playing video game characterized by a dungeon crawl through procedurally generated levels, turn-based gameplay, tile-based graphics, and permanent death of the player character. Most roguelikes are based on a high fantasy narrative, reflecting their influence from tabletop role playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons".
Friendly reminder: markets are only efficient if P=NP.

(Strong form market efficiency has been disproven already, so this is weak form efficiency).

That's enough to make me believe the efficient market hypothesis is BS.
Applications on the Amiga all had different interfaces because intuition.library had infinite possibilities since it only implemented graphic primitives on top of graphics.library.

I'm an Apple guy now but I will never get used to a one button mouse - it's too retarded, especially when one comes from UNIX where three buttons are simply phenomenally super awesomely useful: I love the mark with the mouse and paste with the middle mouse button - it's the best. I cannot figure out why others haven't implemented that - it's so natural and intuitive - I love that I don't have to explicitly cut and paste - marking is enough.

I believe to remember that a few decades ago on some Unix variant I was able to use some kind of vi with some settings where I was able to configure it for not having to do Esc at all for the movements through the text when using all the arrow keys of the terminal I've used and also not having to press any key to start typing the text after these movements and only had to do Esc to type in the non-trivial (i.e. non-movement) commands.

Effectively: as soon as the file is opened, I'd remain in the text entering mode (however it is called in vim terminology) pressing any arrow key (or maybe even the pg up, pg down etc) would exit that mode (implicit Esc) perform the expected movement and at the end automatically return to the starting mode.

I believe I was able to achieve it then by assigning the whole sequences (e.g. Esc, movement, i) to be played as I pressed only one of these keys, and automatic i after the file open, and I don't know if all this is possible now with vim, the little I've tried to find I haven't found that functionality. I'd even claim that having something like this would make vim much less frustrating for the casual users. What I'm sure is that I don't have any written record what I've did then -- it was "works for me" then and for that environment.

Maybe somebody knows more about this? I'd like to be able to achieve such a behavior in Vim even if it's the opposite of what people in these tutorials try to teach people to do, as an example, I haven't understood what this does (it is not clearly explained here except claiming "the <Esc> key for leaving insert mode is, in my opinion, rather antiquated. Vim is about efficiency, and it's hardly efficient to leave the home keys if you don't have to. So don't.") but it seems to me, nothing I'd like:

> inoremap jk <ESC>

I'd argue that not having to even change the modes explicitly at all is more efficient than optimizing the key with which you permanently change the modes. Somebody would say "but then you can't do these nice number-movement to move number of times" -- I don't care, it takes more time to count or to try, err and undo when the number is wrong, than to just use the plain keys. It was not so when editing from the terminal over 300 baud lines, which was the original use case for these commands, but nobody edits over them today.

> Consider as well that all JSON numbers are floating point numbers, despite the fact that floating point numbers provide absolutely nothing of value to this spec

JMAP seems to not use any float, so implementers do not need floating point logic and can just reject JSON with floats.

Aren't most email attachments base64 encoded anyway? If so, JSON not supporting binary is not really a problem.
I wrote my thesis last year comparing different RNNs against each other using this exact paper as baseline and basically concluded that you would be better off predicting the price yesterday than using their results. Authors did not respond when prompted for implementation details or comments.

Overall, concluded that amongst RNNs the GRU architecture proved most favorable but still would not outperform simple stochastic models of the financial industry toolbox.

Rashomon of Disclosure
I mean that in the fairly basic sense of mining gold being a physical process; so it uses energy.

The point is that it is possible to bring a practically unbounded amount of new dollars into the market at a cost-to-create of 0 (ie, in real terms, new dollars can be created for free) and cause inflation. Which is exactly what the central banks try to do except in a controlled manner.

Can't happen with gold, because the marginal cost of creating new gold is roughly the price of gold. The 1-2% increase in supply from mining isn't going to cause real inflation in gold that behaves anything like inflation in the dollar. Supply increases to meet demand, but the value that the gold represents does not change.

If someone finds a super-nugget the size of a cargo ship to mine that might change, but that isn't what the original point by joe_the_user was going to.

> It's a regulated industry,

That does not in anyway "prove" it is not a scam, it is a legal scam backed by the government which there are many of those

The Insurance Industry for decades now have succeeded in regulatory capture where the "regulators" are made up of industry insiders that ensure the regulations favor the companies not the citizens

That is one of the biggest points of the story, is how the "regulations" mainly shield the insurance companies from liability and prohibit them from being sued

>I'm really saddened at the level of misunderstanding brought about by a poorly written one-sided article

It is not the article, the article just confirms what many of us has already experienced in Real Life when it comes to insurance.

Submit a claim, only to have it denied because you insurance only covers you if the event happens on the 5th tue during a full moon, if you are standing on one leg while praise the xenu god... That clause was on page 900 of the 4 point font contract you "agreed" to when you took out the policy

Or if the do approve your claim, You are Dropped from the insurance the second they legally can, or they jack your rates up Sky High to ensure they recover the costs, never mind that you paid in premiums for years well in excess of the claim....

You shouldn't put words into my mouth. A military intervention is always on the table - what pretense you use is a different question. That the US has been very liberal with the pretenses in the recent decades is well documented.

The fact of the matter is that military strength is what -internationally- decides who holds the cards.
Can you give some concrete examples on older spec-like things in other languages? It's not really clear what aspects of spec you refer to with this.

It's easy to miss the details that give it a quality of its own, like the composability, property based testing support, and preservation of extensibility in APIs if you just have a quick look at spec.

At some level tensions make markets. I know it's not as black and white but, to the degree that Apple establishes themselves as the company that prioritizes trust relative to other companies that don't--but which have assistants, etc. that are incrementally better--that's for users to choose. And different users will choose differently as they should be able to.

One can debate whether one or the other is the better business decision but that's a separate discussion.

Not in matters of debt.

Just look at how EU was forced to erase more than 50% of Greece's debt.

Or look at how US hedge funds are still fighting Argentina (in court) to recoup some of the money. According to your logic US should have threatened Argentina by now.
The important thing about external debt is: is the debt denominated in your currency?

Because if you are Argentina (a country with little industry and exports) and you get a debt in Dollars in order to be able to import, of course you can get in the situation where you have to default your debt in a foreign denominated currency.

Absolutely. High intelligence and the thirst for novelty and stimulation that often comes with it can make it hard to focus on anything for very long. It also makes people lazy. You learn as a kid that you can achieve a lot with minimal or no effort, so you develop terrible work habits (or none at all). Bright kids who are brought up with a very strong work ethic are far more likely to be high achievers or at least successful at their chosen vocation. This work ethic is often a cultural thing...

The problem (one of them) with Argentina is that they don't have industry, so simple like that. That's the trap where many countries are stuck.

Because in order to develop an industry you need investments and protection of the new industry until it's able to compete. Investment can't be only in your currency because you need to import things for the new industry. And protection is "discouraged" by those that are already developed (1).

Quite dangerous to leave this without an enclosure, since the power supply is on the same PCB, several of the components and solder points carry mains voltage.

I'm surprised an outlet as high profile as Make don't at least recommend one, or have any of the usual warnings about high voltage.

On a side note, it's no mean feat integrating large through hole components and tiny SMD parts onto the one PCB, normally power supplies are wave soldered while SMD parts need reflow instead, and hence TVs and the like use seperate PCBs. Pin-in-paste[1] is possible, but only with some parts, so maybe they used automated selective soldering[2] instead?

> Currently almost all sand is mined within 50 miles of where it is used, said Jason C. Willett, a minerals commodity specialist with the United States Geological Survey. “Once you move it any distance it then costs too much,” he said.

Basically this is mostly just an interesting talking point for climate change and science, and possibly for Greenland which has been in the news, and not yet a viable source for sand.

It's similar to all of the oil in the world that has been discovered and is accessible but is too expensive to mine.

> So far the only thing I can imagine that comes close might be something like a chat application.

Sorry, but if you think that chat is a complex UI you obviously don't understand what type of complexity I'm talking about. Multi-page, multi-level forms with a lot of conditional rendering are far bigger problem to handle than chat. Challenge is not in a single particularly advanced action, forms I'm talking about are mostly just a bunch of ifs and event handlers that update the DOM accordingly. Problem is the overall complexity arising from a sheer number of different combinations you need to control, so you end up with thousands and thousand of lines of jQuery functions and events interacting and stepping on each other's toes.

For instance I'm currently working on an IP management app for big, international law firm. In order to invoice a client for even a very basic service like trademark registration you need to handle multiple countries, multiple laws, multiple currencies, and it has to be all in one dynamic form because they need to fill hundreds of those and it has to be simple and quick. These forms are huge, each loads a dozen of subforms, dialogs, etc. conditionally based on different business and legal rules that apply and user has to be able to edit all of that interactively. I've built the first version of that app 10 years ago using jQuery and it worked for a long time, but it took us more than 3 years to fully finish and it was huge and hard to maintain and had a number of limitations, as some legal rules were just too complex to handle. We now did a new version in Vue in less than 6 months. Much easier, much cleaner, our code deals just with our logic, not touching DOM at all, so it's much easier to debug and maintain it. Overall much nicer experience and thanks to that we were able to solve a number of problems that the old version had.

And this experience translates to pretty much any serious business web app that I've ever built.
I'm guessing that most of the stuff heard about Facebook and ML is basically hype. Even after Christchurch the best they could do to counteract the spread was content fingerprinting. Human moderators are likely their longterm solution.
How to redirect user to another web page using jQuery
Let me add that just as it's not enough to focus on learning Kanji, even learning compound words made out of Kanji is not enough. There are many Japanese words that are never or only rarely written with Kanji, and depending on the text there can be many sentences with no Kanji at all. I recognize 4000+ Kanji by knowing Mandarin, so I can somewhat read e.g. software manuals (many Kanji, some English loanwords) but children's books are too advanced for me.

The "777 Kanji for 90% coverage" figure is probably more relevant for illiterate native speakers. Based on a corpus of 167,281 Japanese sentences I had segmented and lemmatized some time ago, you'd need 2,685 words for 90% (up to "故郷", "birthplace", usually written "ふるさと"), 6,564 for 95% (up to "すらり", "slender, smooth"), 14,098 words for 98% (up to "鼻先", "tip of the nose") and 20,657 words for 99% (up to "恐慌", "panic"). Obviously the exact numbers depend a lot on the diversity of the corpus, so don't mistake them for fixed targets to aim for.

I can't imagine how boasting about superiority working out in well in the end. There has to be an Aesop's Fable short story for this.

Bragging about being smarter is a standing invitation to receive passive aggressive behavior from others. People will unfairly try to find flaws, and who can blame them? They're acting innately better than their peers - while at the same time not being wise enough to be humble / modest.

I also worry it ends up having a person with potential ending up hiding behind a cryptic / abstract facade, afraid of failing when not being an instant prodigy at a new skill. Don't we will have to work our way up and build a track record of some sort?

What does being intelligent mean anyway?

Ultimately, if someone wanted to be recognized as smart, wouldn't at least some "normal IQ people?" have to understand and appreciate the value of something they synthesized/made?
