`assert_eq(A == B, true)`? `assert_eq(A, B)`, or even `assert(A == B)` by all means.

And this does not really explain what a `Ket` is, rather unfortunately. I now know it's a pair of complex numbers, but that's not very handy - and the `is_valid` definition is not explained, so I don't even get told what subset of pairs of complex numbers make up valid kets without reading code.

As I noted in another comment, the documentation for SwiftUI is actually pretty good, especially if you take into account how quickly the framework has changed. It includes some rich, progressive tutorials. [0]

The author states that they are planning to write an app from scratch with SwiftUI. I think most iOS developers would hesitate to build an entire app on a beta framework.

Yes, I’m well aware of TEI, it being my former field of research. However, as your link (4) shows there are all kinds of caveats, and usual epigenetic inheritance isn’t transgenerational (in fact, it’s a ubiquitous, “mundane” biological mechanism to maintain cellular state). Your first example — agouti mouse coat colour — is essentially the only firmly established example of TEI in mammals. And, as I explained in another comment, TEI tends to attenuate over generations, and it probably functions very differently in non-mammalian organisms. To date, the existence of pervasive TEI in mammals remains a point of contention. Outside of the agouti locus there’s almost no high-quality, replicated evidence for its existence, and the hypothesis is fundamentally hindered by the lack of a plausible mechanism [1]. Most epigenetics research focuses on other things, and there’s general scepticism that TEI in mammals is all that important [2].

It's worse than that. When the wealthy take their money to private rather than public institutions they de-value the public institutions — begin to question why their tax money should pay for them at all.

It is useful to learn to expect and deal with failure. It is also useful to read about people who have failed yet succeeded in the end, you can learn from it. Obviously it's not absolute that a failure is positive as much as it isn't absolute that failure is damning. One thing is certain though, try hard enough and you can fail at pretty much anything, so you better get ready to deal with a failure or two if you are trying to be successful.
I mean, it helps that half of your team was one of those native french speakers.
But I'm assuming for French Scrabble that you're allowed to use any conjugated form of a verb, for example, or the masculine/feminine/plural forms of nouns and adjectives. Memorizing all these forms individually seems like a nightmare (as a French learner I know...) where a native speaker would have a much better sense for the rules that dictate ending changes, even for the large amount of irregular verbs.

Also, memorizing all the different accented letters seems like it would be super difficult for an English speaker, but again not sure how French Scrabble treats accents.

Even if AWS was spunoff, surely it would still be owned by Bezos just as much? I assume in spin off proportional ownership by shareholders remains the same. I also don't see why their policies vis a vis government would be any different if they were a separate company. So, the argument comes down to people not being smart enough to realize AWS isn't any different as a separate company.

Generating De Bruijn cycles with primitive polynomials
>> Your assertion in the first paragraph is not actually true. Go to Central Park or somewhere else with no nearby WiFi beacons and try it out. Your test app will not fall back to GPS accuracy. I have done this

That's not what I said, nor what the documentation said. From the documentation:

The system always tries to give you the best location data that is available, but these properties give the system the flexibility to turn off hardware elements when they are not needed. For example, if you set the desired accuracy to kCLLocationAccuracyKilometer, the system might disable GPS and use only the Wi-Fi hardware, which would save power and still give you a greater accuracy than you requested.

In other words: the system will not promote the returned accuracy if the data it has is already within the accuracy you asked for, but it will still fall back to whatever source of location data available, possibly higher accuracy, if no lower-accuracy source is available.

This makes a lot of sense, because it is much more common to only have a GPS signal, and no cell tower or WiFi geolocation (e.g. when doing outdoor activities) than the other way around. In that case your '1 km accuracy' app might in fact get you GPS accuracy. But if you are in Central Park, you will most definitely get location data from cell towers, so in that case your app will not promote the accuracy since you didn't ask for it. Ergo, if you need the highest accuracy, you have to ask for it. The documentation makes it very clear the accuracy parameter is not a tool to force a specific accuracy, but to allow the system to relax accuracy in favor of lower power consumption, if your app doesn't need it.

Not trying to be snarky here, but in this particular case it seems the problem is not in the documentation, but in your reading comprehension of it. Unless of course there is a bug in CoreLocation, or you got so unlucky when you tested in Central Park, that there was somehow not even a GPS signal available.

Note that as savings pile up in banks and brokerages, they supply the world with more loans for starting new businesses or new ventures. The money in a bank doesn't just sit there. It is a basis for economic activity throughout the country and even the rest of the world.

A more appropriate example is not an island that constrains population, but a population where new people are born and make investments into new businesses and new ideas. You can certainly have people transition more towards savings over time as they enter their prime career earning potential, without it impacting the rest. This is because there will always be other people who are willing to start businesses.

I've messed around with Aurora 4x before and I don't think the UI concept is that bad. In a game as complex as this, the UI is going to have to reflect that complexity in some way. I think the worst thing about the game's UI is how it eschews basic usability and makes everything ridiculously tedious to use. If I made a game like this, I'd probably come up with a similar UI, but I'd pay way more attention to how players interact or want to interact with the game on a moment to moment basis.

Well, that depends on specifically which drugs you subtract out of the set.

Some new drugs are not that critical to have. Others might be. Given that we don't / can't know which drugs will be developed in the future, it's kind of impossible to answer with certainty.
> But sometimes all you need is to be able to assign someone to a specific project that isn't all that glorious or interesting or hard but is valuable and needs to be done by a certain time

There's a lot of business value in certainty. The value of the senior IC is the certainty that your business critical project will get completed correctly and on time. Sort of like how you want a good electrician to work on your house even if the job isn't technically that "hard".
The comments in header files are often the only (or only useful) documentation. So don’t give up before looking there. Sometimes they wait a few years to write docs. For example, NSWindowAccessoryViewController went undocumented for three or four years. Which was fine because it was too buggy for me to use anyway. The docs are enough to get you started but it’s only brutal experience that teaches you how to use things. In practice you spend a lot of time working around bugs and design flaws. Those will never be documented, of course.

There are more solutions than a high VAT, and since it is a regressive tax, it is actually a bad solution. The fact that some countries with high VAT use the funds better than other countries use their tax income does not make it a good tax. Of course corporate income tax can never solve all tax shortfalls, but it is still a reasonable piece of the puzzle.

Everything is a string is a great way to reduce the mental load about typing.
You don't need to restrict the number of drugs, just how they are awarded patents. Big Pharma has learned bow to exploit the system, by making drugs slightly different or using the same drug to claim that it now also treats another issue, and this is basically how they're getting +20 year extensions in perpetuity, almost.

Patents should be awarded much more sporadically, and/or their time period should be reduced, while generics should be more encouraged.

Then the pricing issue will fix itself.

Also it might be a good idea to drastically cut the patent time for drugs where >50% or so of the research was done with government grants. I don't see why such drugs should get more than a 5-year patent.
I think the article doesn't make enough mention of the fact that internally, most things are not actually strings for much of their lifetime. They must be able to be represented that way, but that's different than everything being a string all the time. It does create a few problems, but they're a bit more subtle than "OMG, the integers are strings all the time!"

The title of the article is "Quantum Computing fin Rust, part 1", so the implication is that it is there to teach you about Rust, not to teach Quantum Mechanics which you already know.
This does not present the correct definition of a ket. More specifically, it doesn’t present a reasonably general definition of a ket. It would be like asking “What is a list?” and implementing a data structure that can store only one element.

In quantum computation, a ket is a vector in a Hilbert space. A Hilbert space is just a fancy way to describe a typical space you find in linear algebra, where the space allows you to compute lengths and angles. When discussing kets, the usual vector space is the set of complex-element vectors with unit length (or “norm”). The vectors can have any number of elements (or “dimension”), but when discussing qubits, they are 2^n-dimensional for n qubits.

(It’s important to note that a ket is not distinguishable from a vector. It’s actually called so because of a notational convention, not because it has deeper underlying meaning. However, physicists will still use the word “ket” instead of “vector” or “quantum state” even if they’re not emphasizing notation.)

More interesting, though, is how kets combine with other kets via tensor products. This ingredient is as essential to QC as flour is to cake.

This article [0] informally presents a fully general definition of a ket along with the tensor product with an emphasis on why a representation and notation was chosen. But it does require a good understanding of linear algebra already.
