I liked “An Invitation to Applied Category Theory“, pdf is available here: [1]

It is written in a more terse, mathematical language, but it is very clear and friendly for non-mathematicians. The authors provide interesting examples of applicability. Hardcover is quite expensive, but the quality is great [2].

D doesn't do this (there's a flag now, not sure how well it works), if you've got a lot of compile time functions running the compiler process will rack up GBs of memory pretty quickly, especially if you're compiling in parallel. I upgraded to 32GB of RAM so I wouldn't hit swap when compiling.
This time of year is ripe for nostalgia. I recall that it was just about this time in 1993 during Christmas break that I loaded Linux version 0.96(?) onto this 386SX machine. This involved taking a stack of 1.44MB floppies and driving to a place where I had access to the internet. I'd choose SLS packages and copy each to an individual floppy. Then I'd drive home and load them one by one until I had a bootable system. And of course with floppies, it was inevitable that you'd get a error now and then. So, back to the car, download, copy and repeat. All to get away from the limitations of Windows 3.0...
This post also ignores how quickly tolerance builds up in the system before leveling off.

I would not be surprised if both these books are referring to the same thing, from similar sources just using different ways to describe the same concept.

I have watched a talk by Yuval Noah Harari, and read a few blog posts about his idea of “fictions”. I have not read the book so I stand to be corrected.

comments below are related to “fiction”. This is a foundation of his thesis.

The concept of “fiction” as described in the
Talk(and book?) appears to have a long history, but called by different names.

I have traced some of this thinking to early 1900’s, which itself appears to based on work from the 1700’s, and maybe even further back. It seems to be a common idea made palatable for mass consumption.

I spent some of my best years bootstrapping a business (trying to avoid the word "startup"), growing steady each year 30-50%. No hockey stick so far, but our customers are happy and the product rocks.

1) It is hard, properly HARD.

2) It does not seem like it is fair to yourself - you might feel like you are not really giving yourself a proper chance, be it capturing the market, hiring the best possible talent etc.

3) It might make you more risk averse, as you are gambling with your baby.

4) On the other hand, it is not the low risk path either, so it sort of conflicts with #3. I mean that there are a lot of risks involved in raising capital at an early stage, but going the tortoise path has other kinds of risks. Also see #2.

5) Your type of market needs to support it, obviously. Low investment product, stable customer base. In our case, the customers are large semi-governmental organizations and in all of history we have lost just 1 established customer. This gives a lot of consolation that you are building a house, one brick at a time.

6) You need a lot of mental stamina - everyone else seems to be doing things more cleverly. Your buddies will move on to work for the big bucks and establish their careers, others might be busy burning through VC money. It will take time.

8) Sometimes an investor will come along and try to offer you their money. But it often turns out as if your are playing a totally different ball game. One thing I learned was to ask not just how many X they expect us to deliver, but straight out ask how many X-s their "family" or whatever expects them to deliver.

But in the end you might have a company that is actually self sustaining, fantastic people around you and customers that appreciate what you are doing to them. I consider myself lucky, though. Feels like all odds were stacked against us.
Replace Oracle JRE with Amazon Coretto
Making electric trucks makes more sense. Then you can centralize the CO2 collection to the power plants and make it much more efficient.
> Nothing with any scientific rigor. Of course I, like I'm sure everyone else, believe I have a decent "placebo detector" and to that end CBD isn't behaving like a placebo for me.

This statement invalidates everything that follows after. Do multiple blind trials with a control substance at varying threshold doses, then you can say whether these "feelings" are from the drug itself.

Placebo creates a very real, measurable physiological effect, so relying on your subjective experience is more than "scientifically unrigorous", it's actually flawed reasoning. And citing a lack of evidence doesn't mean you can suddenly use your own anecdotal data as evidence.

It’s absolutely elitist to privilege a mode of transportation that requires upfront personal costs of tens of thousands of dollars, and running costs of hundreds of dollars on a daily basis, over modes of transportation that can be achieved for a few dollars a day...

/sarcasm

And that’s before we even look at the negative externalities of cars, around the tens of thousands of deaths caused directly in car accidents, the tens of billions of dollars of GDP wasted in people idling in cars during traffic, the many lives and billions of dollars in GDP due to worse health outcomes due to pollution, and the increasingly apparent climate change related costs.
> Informative ads, like a new movie being out in theaters, can actually be net-positive financially, at the expense of the strain on public attention.

It would be easy to avoid that strain, by segregating such informative ads into places where people can seek them out on their own. Have advertising be PULL, not PUSH. Unfortunately, this is the exact opposite of what the advertising industry wants (and really, what most companies want - everyone is happy with getting a little short-term advantage at the expense of everyone else and their own future).
I would recommend the following.

1. Don't use OSS model if there is no good reason.

2. If there is a reason, use GNU AGPLv3. Dual licensing is great if you make living from selling the code. Be ready to go after those who violate the copyright.

I agree on MIT licenses. If the value comes from the code and not from services, its insane to use MIT. You are just giving value to competitors for free.
For starters, where do you see that the apps can be uninstalled? Since when system-installed apps can be removed by a user without rooting or replacing the system?

Secondly, pretending that this is an independent event and that the government, Duma, courts and police have a shred of good will after what they were doing for the last ten–twenty years, is so laughable that your insistence on that interpretation is baffling and suggestive.

Even if by some miracle the apps are innocent at first, nothing prevents the FSB from slipping in different functionality after a year, or even in an update.
"What problems human-readable URLs solve in the context of URL shortening and modern websites?"

The problem arises anytime you need to cut and paste, or otherwise transport, a URL between components that aren't directly linked ...

If all you're doing is click-click-clicking like a good end-user, it probably doesn't matter - but if you need the URL for some reason, it can be very difficult - especially in a terminal - to properly move around a 500 character URL.
The OS tells processes when it needs resources freed and the JVM will tidy up then. Otherwise it’s lazy and that is correct. A JVM can run on 10s of MB of RAM and start in milliseconds. This is as-of JVM 8 that’s why vague, years ago, and it should only be better now if modules are in.
> And if you enable the electric trim switches on a 737 MAX you get MCAS activation.

The electric trim switches override MCAS. That is why the steps are:

1. use the electric trim switches to set the trim to normal

2. cut off the electric trim

That's all there is to it.

> MCAS presented counter to how Boeing defines runaway trim.

That's simply false. (And runaway trim does not need definition, Boeing does not define it.)

Flippant retort that completely misses the spirit and the substance of my comment. If you think there’s a way to safely “hack” your body to somehow undo evolution be my guest. As a culture with a proud tradition of ignoring nature and fucking ourselves up, we should rethink our approach to our bodies and health.

I don't know about you, but reserving space for a car is way more expensive than reserving space for a bicycle where I live, simply because one is so much bigger than the other.
In cities in many other countries, people do those things using public transit and walking and biking and it works fine.

Admittedly, it works not so fine in US cities...because they were built to favor driving over every other mode. Drop an American in Munich or Tokyo and suddenly you'll find them driving a whole lot less, even if they still own a car.

You recapture CO2 at the expense of increased fossil fuel consumption due to lower payload capacity. Is this really better than just going straight to electric transports?

I understand that fear. As I was responding to another person in this thread, I know people ruthlessly exploiting western social programs to the extend that they manage to live exclusively, or almost exclusively on welfare. My mother has a neighbor who was laughing that she is silly to work, because she has Belgian fiancée and she should live off social support.

Many people say it, but I never seen a good analysis of that issue. If you have data to back that up I would be very happy to see it. That's something that I wanted to research for some time. My biggest question is whether it was really so easy before, or is it just still difficult. Is the issue related to immigration? Or is it due to regulations? Or something else?

Others have said said it: learn to say no. However, tooling helps. Some will not like this suggestion: look into scrum or kanban agile. A single backlog of tasks and units of work. With scrum, you tell the business "we can do the following stories/tasks in the next two weeks." It is on you and your team to only commit (ie, say no) to work you can reasonably finish in that period. This gives the opportunity to the business to give priority to things they feel are important. If you find that you are over committing, commit to less the following iteration. Understand that, as you said, it is unreasonable to pull heroic hours. Stick to 36 to 44 hours a week. If work is not completed, you alter the following iteration to do less.

Finally, a quote that I internalized as a kid: if you can do something about a situation, do so and don't worry. If you cannot do something, then don't and don't worry. Applied to this context, I would take that to mean you can put limits in place and you shouldn't worry if that makes the business upset.

This is your life. Time lost with friends and family can never be gotten back. Finding reasonable balance with work is paramount.

It is not just that easy. It requires work and discipline. I'm still working on taking the same advice and not working crazy long hours. Fortunately, my manager helps me here and says, "dude. It's late. Go home. Family time."
This doesn't make any sense for multiple reasons, but especially because you wouldn't be checking anything in the first place. A big endian system would would reorder bytes and a little endian system would just use it directly from memory without another copy or reordering anything.
Having commuted by car and by train, I think train commuting is more stressful. First is the stress of getting ready on time, driving to the station, finding a parking spot and getting on board the right train. Second, arriving at the station and then making the connection to light rail (my case) or to subway or bus (your mileage may vary) and then walking to your destination. This compares unfavorably with leaving your garage and driving to the company parking lot.

I have also carpooled. This is also a hassle depending on your regularity and the regularity of those in the carpool. Missing turns due to travel, sickness, vacations, etc. means setting up swaps with other drivers. It also is a hassle if you need to work late or get in early. Not all carpool members are agreeable. I once carpooled with a person who held conversations with people in the back seat - the problem was that he couldn't talk to them without looking back at them - fairly hair-raising.
That protection should be offered at the video driver level. Anything less will be exploited by trolls.
This is such a strange way of building logic. Makes you wonder what "could have been" if this had actually taken off. Actual supply chains would have been very similar but still different.

I don't think so.

Building an electric car emits a ton of CO2 as well. The figure that is often used is that building your car generates just as much CO2 that what it will generate during its lifetime of driving.

So even if your truck runs 100% on renewable energy (and that's a big if, not to mention that creating this system also generates pollution before becoming green), retrofitting existing vehicles with technologies such as this one should be studied seriously.
The Simon-Ehrlich Wager
I was mostly thinking about the generic out-of-box capabilities you'd get these days, which include Forward Secrecy, rather than compromises made in the name of usability for software like Keybase.

But since you're a Keybase person let's consider Keybase's compromises in particular, do they mean Jenny's bomb gets found? What can I determine: Who Jenny sent the message to? The contents of the message? Don't you consider that a pretty bad screw-up considering what your users expect?
Electric personal cars also have exactly the same problems as gasoline cars when it comes to congestion, they are just as deadly to pedestrians, they also spend 98% of their time unused, etc.
Pulling a book because of a typo is also a unreasonable overreaction. It would be better without typos, but I'd still rather read a book with a typo than not having the book at all. This is even more of an overreaction than it would be to pull software that has any bugs whatsoever.

Edit: typos
> One of the biggest criticisms of Java is that it consumes so much memory, for which the rebuttal is the JVM can be tuned to use less! But no one does this in practice, so I assume there must be a reason that renders the “tuning” argument to be penny wise and pound foolish

Nope, the main reason is simply that memory is cheap and plentiful, so there is simply no reason to spend any effort to tune base memory usage when writing the kind of applications Java is typically used for.
> You're arguing semantics

Trying to argue that the trim system erratically coming on and driving the nose down is not "runaway trim" is arguing semantics. Runaway trim is when the trim is doing something dangerous without command from the pilot.

If the cockpit voice recorder reveals them discussing the definition of "runaway trim" and deciding that the instructions Boeing provided didn't apply, I'd be surprised and interested.

> MCAS also stops after the trim switches are hit.

Exactly, the trim switches override the MCAS. That's why you use the trim switches to set it back to normal, then hit the cutoff switches. That's what the Emergency Airworthiness Directive says to do.

Animated PNG files causing problems with some users isn't a problem with Twitter, I should think (and it seems it is independent of the file format, so whether it is GIF, PNG, or MPEG, it would be the same problem, I should think); it is the browser. The user should configure the browser to disable animations by default if that is what is wanted. (If the browser does not implement that, then the browser writer should fix it so that it does.)
