The irony being that most Wirth languages are more expressive than Go will ever be, with the exception of the first release of Pascal and Oberon versions, and the follow up on minimalist design approach with Oberon-07.

When Go came out, I though it could follow Oberon, starting small and eventually reach Active Oberon/Zonnon expressiveness, but alas that is not how they see it.

Even Limbo has features that Go still lacks.

A police response costs money.

But generally would trespassing be considered a victimless crime? If you find out that someone trespassed, that might cause psychological harm. But if someone trespasses and no one notices, I guess that might be victimless. If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?

> I think the underlying mechanism is simply natural selection

Genetic natural selection takes thousands of years, or at an absolute minimum multiple generations. Social selection occurs far more rapidly, often within a single generation. A person born in the 1950s that is genetically predisposed to manual labor may do well for the first few decades of their life, but as society changes and starts valuing white collar work more, they will do far worse. Their genetics didn't change, but society did.

Those that favor nature over nurture vastly under-estimate the time-scales which it takes natural selection to occur as compared to social selection.

JVM can be extremely performant, although sometimes memory hungry. I haven't done any Scala, but I've tried comparing Haskell and similar Clojure code. Most of the time it was easier to write more performant Clojure code, and accidentally write Haskell code that was not as performant. I have to admit though that my Haskell knowledge is pretty weak.
The power of "matching funds" is actually an underappreciated force in making voluntary, non-tax based provision of public goods more feasible. "Matching funds" is how threshold-based crowdfunding ala Kickstarter works: if you're a pivotal funder (i.e. your contribution pushes the funding campaign over the threshold), you get "many times your contribution in matching funds"! This effectively means that everyone involved wants to be a pivotal funder; it becomes a self-sustaining outcome. (Proposals have been made to extend this principle to non-threshold-based funding, see e.g. https://www.snowdrift.coop as one example.)
The major use-case IMO is for alibis if you get wrongly accused of a crime.
Yep, the question these studies raise is: if you're doing things "right" in general (reading to your kids, taking them to museums/libraries, talking with them about complex things), does it really matter how much screen time they have?

There seems to be no proof that it matters that much, although I suspect that managing screen addiction becomes important at later ages. It's possible that letting kids have some screen time at younger ages, and teaching them from the get-go about the dangers of over-consumption/addiction, could end up being a very valuable parenting technique in the long run.
Well yes, the ML model generated a series of long text fragments and as more training steps were given, it generated text just like an actual blog post with proper start and end, simulating the style of the author.

The author has only posted chosen content from the whole array of text the bot generated, to appeal her specific audience of book bloggers, authors and readers.

I do however, have all the content with me, until 500 training steps, after which I stopped the model from running further. I think I'll share it in this thread in a while.

Thanks for the fantastic library! I've really enjoyed using it and it has sped up dev time phenomenally. However, I am curious: what is it like using tailwind on huge projects? I can imagine with many developers working on a codebase the "extract repeated patterns to their own new class" philosophy can get easily ignored, or difficult to track where some series of classes is being repeated.
Cvitanovic's book, and apparently Cvitanovic himself (I've traded an email or two, but he's friends of friends -and seems to always make a big impression in person) is amazing. It's been around in some form or other since I was wrapping up my ph.d. thesis in a related subject, and I remember being mad as hell it didn't exist when I started as it had the most understandable explanations of the Gutzwiller trace formula. The late Dieter Wintgen's papers were also good, but not as didactic, and without so many examples.

I should work out all the problem sets in J and publish the results. Seems like a properly impish trolling.
That's important. But why I say relative - is because the structure and language of readability is dependent on the code culture one is working within, not an outside measure.

That's why things like C coding style is so variable - sometimes within the same body of code (see net-snmp ....)

I'd rather have consistent coding standards but I daily deal with different team projects with different conventions, so I'm used to adapting my own reading conventions as I switch contexts.

Keep a common aesthetic within a project. It's worth it - by measure of success of a project.
>they’re copying the Java API to provide a familiar environment for Java developers

Well, that's a difference without meaning. Familiarity with the syntax is important but we're not talking about copyrighting the language structure and syntax.

The other aspect is that of the wider ecosystem. Once you commit to Java, you have to reimplement the existing APIs because every Java library relies on those APIs. And it is that ecosystem that is the true value prop. The API itself isn't special itself (in fact, the Java one is frequently maligned for how bad it is), and devs adapt quickly to different ones when they move to another programming language. There would be no point in selecting the Java language without being able to partake in the ecosystem, no matter how brilliant the API design is. And if it was brilliant, they could have aped it in another language (Dart?) ... I'm making an assumption that presumably adapting the API to another language would be fine by you? Because if not, the mess you would cause in the industry would be immeasurable.

From what I can see [0], the API is somewhat similar to Duktape's [1], which is good. It's an easy to use API, which gives you as much power as you ask for. (And both have slight improvement's over Lua's, in getting rid of overhead for some things.)

Duktape uses the MIT license [2], whereas MuJS has a slightly different license [3] which is much less specific, in fact I'm not entirely certain what the license requires in a legal setting. This particular fragment:

> Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted

Seems to imply paid licenses for MuJS, but doesn't actually seem to require that a paid agreement be followed, providing a sort of legal escape hatch. It is just a quibble, but legal problems tend to come down to arguments over a half dozen words anyway.

That being said, I'm assuming MuJS is intended to be used as part of the GhostScript environment at some point, and they might have assumed that the two routes will be Artifex licensing + this other license. (The usual AGPL route they follow would have been my choice.)

Chaos is what happens when the torus in your dynamical phase space breaks up. Or, thought of another way; it's a deterministic process that generates random bit strings (because, no torus/periodic orbits).
> Asynchronous design is a bloody stupid idea.

But you see, synchrony is fundamentally physically impossible in any distributed system (one of the tenets of special relativity; explained for computer scientists by Leslie Lamport in his ~1978 paper).

When we try to scale a system beyond basic capacity (bits, bits/sec throughput, FLOPs, etc) the fact that we cannot shrink our devices (quantum effects) means that they will be separated by some significant distance. Eg: if you wish to operate with a clock rate of 1GHz, light travels ~1foot between successive clock beats. That’s even before talking about capacitive response times, etc.

We might have gotten away with that synchronicity assumption for the first few decades of computing, but we will run into that wall sooner or later (if not already). It is fundamentally untenable for “larger” systems.

Maybe the answer is to have the microscopic system behavior be synchronous and simple, with macroscopic communication patterns being asynchronous. But I wonder whether it’s even possible to prevent abstraction leakage.
Hospitals will just raise the rates a little to pass that cost on to the consumer.

So I've my self used Lombok but I've been using Kotlin lately. IMHO Kotlin if far far superior in terms of how it provides appropriate constructs that are patches to a stale language (hopefully new release cycle fixes it).

So far I've observed with libraries like Lombok there is a smaller community (compared to language community) that vets the idea; and the features are opinionated to that particular community. Which results into fragmentation; just as example https://immutables.github.io/ and https://github.com/google/auto are two libraries providing features like factories and immutable value classes. Then you get articles like https://codeburst.io/lombok-autovalue-and-immutables-or-how-... for improving your code.

This in my opinion doesn't hurt as long as you are a small company. But when your code is going to be used across teams with different opinions, and language doesn't enforce a single way to define construct these kind of byte-code mangling ideas fall apart. I've personally people complain about Lombok and they hate it every bit. Doing these constructs at language level removes debate, and unifies how people in larger community. I hope newer versions of Java move fast enough to make something simple like `@Cleanup` a thing of past. I will highly encourage everyone to try Kotlin too; it's almost transparent drop-in with better syntax.

Lame. In my area, our only tech store is Best Buy, and I avoid it like the plague because it's overpriced and they don't even carry good stuff. There have been a lot of times where I need something quick (ideally same day), but I end up suffering through the waiting period for Newegg if at all possible.

For example, my wireless router started going out (one radio died completely), so I decided I should invest in higher quality equipment, but BestBuy only has the same consumer crap I'd see at Costco or Target, though maybe a couple more options. I also needed to replace drives and they only had desktop parts. Or I needed to get RAM and they have no ECC or even just high quality non-ECC RAM. Or I need some thermal paste, or a new desktop case.

I could find most, if not all, of that stuff at Fry's when I lived near one, but now I either waste money on a temporary solution at BestBuy or rig up a temporary solution at home until better equipment gets shipped to me.

Also, the eco conscious side of me hates making a delivery truck make a special stop at my house just to deliver a couple items, not to mention the extra packaging and whatnot sending a package entails.

That being said, even when I lived near Fry's, I shopped mostly online because it was more convenient, so I guess I'm at least partially to blame here. Lately, I'm trying to buy more from local sources so they hopefully stick around, and I buy extras of important things so I'm not dead in the water anymore.

The ability of an observer to keep track of things is not relevant, and even completely computable things like cellular automata can be chaotic [1].

I thought the "solution" for St Peteresburg paradox was to consider utility as a non-linear function of wealth. And this makes the series converge.

Also, I don't find the Pascal's Mugger example convincing, as the probability that the mugger will return with the money is inversely proportional to the multiple they are promissing (for very large multiples this is because they have finite resources, but even at lower multiples this intuitively feels true).
Err, this is weird.

Programming is correlated with higher IQ.

IQ is correlated with spatial reasoning and the kinds of multi-step puzzle solving that is often needed in programming.

I don't know why you find this so surprising or offensive. It's simply that the IQ tests the kinds of things that often make good programmers.

IQ isn't the only thing correlated with programming ability, and people with high IQ are often extremely dumb in many areas.

(I don't have a particularly high IQ)

Having an Alexa and trying to maintain a positive feeling about privacy by spoofing it showcases one of the fundamental conflicts of our time: they want you to give up the rights yourself. Of course they will never tell you the full extent of what happens to your data or inform you in clear terms about changes — they just give you enough so you can lie to yourself about it probably not beeing soo bad.

In my eyes one of the few solutions you really have is to DIY these things, but while this has the pro of teaching you a lot, it costs time, patience and requires skill levels not everybody might have just to end up with something that might work okayish (depending on skill and time invested).

This is why I believe this has to be a law thing. Just like in other areas you can safely assume certain product standards (e.g. you can buy food in the supermarket and it won’t contain hard drugs that make you addicted) and these kinds of guarantuees need to exist for digital services as well. There needs to be a clear standard for what they are allowed to do and what not without me explicitly voiding those assumptions.

> The State Court Administrator and Chief Justice orchestrates an illegal break in of a county property in violation of Iowa Code 721.

That's a very open question. Under Iowa law, the counties have to provide the buildings to the state, but the state controls them. The position of the state court is that this control is total when it comes to security, and thus they can authorize whatever they like. (And their are court decisions supporting this view.)

Ultimately this is a legal question, which will be answered by the courts. But uh, the smart money is that the Iowa state courts will decide that the Iowa state courts were correct the first time, have lots of power, and didn't break any laws. But hey, anything could happen...

"It's not practical to define a separate class for every query."

I'm not sure it's really impractical, at least in my experience. You may not need a separate type for every query, as long as you are willing to have some queries select a few more columns than you actually need right now; and you don't need separate classes, just separate interfaces, which makes the amount of extra code you need smaller.
Business is always risky. But if you have a limited downside, and an huge upside, you are onto something.

There is a central provider called NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India). They run the entire network and control who gets on or not. Banks are used as the integration point because UPI necessitated a bank account to run out of. Since you’re directly debiting money out of someone’s account you can’t exactly turn away the bank and when they are on-board it makes sense to use them as an integration partner for legal reasons (as well as customer support).
The reason why you're finding this dangerous is because you've coupled your class names too closely with your style. Class names should describe what the content is about, and so if the class names change, that implies that the content itself is different.

> as the probability that the mugger will return with the money is...

That can't be reasonably estimated though. Putting aside the fact that we can't really assert the relation you posit, there is also a finite probability that the mugger is some sort of illuminati member with the ability to create an arbitrary amount of money. Ie, there is some tiny-but-positive probability that he can create an arbitrary amount of money.

At that point, the expected return can be made large compared to the probability that the mugger is lying.
