If it's any help, the University of Washington's programming languages class spends a couple weeks on Racket and the course content is all online. The teacher (Dan Grossman) also teaches the programming languages class on Coursera. I think it does a pretty great job of covering the basics.

Iirc, stations like FoxNews and CNN have (had?) segments of traditional breaking/daily News, and segments that are commentary.

Maybe the lines are now blurred, but it would be interesting to see the amount of bias in the traditional daily News segments. Obviously the commentary segments are much more biased.

Usernames were used by Skype (I don't remember if it requires a phone number now) and are used by email. Email is probably still the most ubiquitous messaging platform.

I don't agree that phone numbers are good for onboarding: sending the first message to somebody on whatsapp requires asking for the phone number. Sending the first email requires asking for the email. Sending the first Skype message requires asking for the username. Not much different.

Whatsapp gives the extra bonus of being able to phone call and send sms to the contact and have the information required to add it to other networks. Maybe this is a power I wouldn't grant to all of my whatsapp contacts but I'm forced to of I want to use it.

Finally, it's much easier to change a username and reset my personal social network for a single messaging service than changing my phone number and lose most of them.
I tested this at age 18 with comprehension tests. The figures escape me but at a pace that was sustainable for no more than 45 minutes, if I recall like 900 words a minute, my comprehension dipped down all the may to mid 70%. But that was roughly 2.5x the pace you would read a textbook at. Maybe more.

Worth it? I don't know. But if its meaningless calories, sometimes just finishing helps. There is a ton of day to day "reading" in the form of emails and whatever you do on a computer. For everything else its context dependent.
As the former owner of a biggish HVAC-integrated electrostatic precipitator, these things are not really worthwhile. An ESP needs frequent cleaning to work well, in comparison to a plain old MERV 13 or so filter, which will work for quite a while with no maintenance.

An ionizer doesn’t need maintenance, but that’s because it deposits all the gunk nearby. Eww.
Do people using languages like Chinese, Japanese or Korean read faster? In Chinese and Japanese a single character often means a word. In Korean, a single character is 3 letters. It's very simple: words use much less space in languages like that, so you need to move your eyes much less. Would a Chinese or Korean person read the same work of literature faster than an European - assuming they know all the words?

If "visually condensed" languages like that do facilitate faster reading, converting to a different language is the way to go! What a lovely research topic for neuroscientists!
And unanimous functions are basically non-existent. Yes, lambda works but only allows a single line, which forces you to name the function anyway.

To flip the question around, what's the benefit of regulation? If none, then yeah, it's less weight to just not do it. But without regulation, presumably you get shady growers/dealers with products of dubious constitution.

It looks like the price of legalization (in this case) is taxation and regulation. It should have been possible to legalize without either of these things, but that didn't happen. Gotta wonder why.

I deactivated my Facebook like seven years ago (? maybe more), with the intent of being able to "reactivate" it. But, I haven't, and have no urge to... turning it off was like a breath of fresh air. It let me know just how surface level all our interactions are on things like Facebook. Reading about friends or people you care about, almost anonymously or as a voyeur, without interacting except for the occasional "like" or "me too, dawg" doesn't make for good relationships. It makes for a (truthfully, shit) facsimile of good/healthy relationships. When I see someone now I haven't seen in a long time, there are things to talk about. I can express genuine heartfelt interest in them and their lives. If I'd been using Facebook to get sideline views into their lives I'd have my own bullshit expectations (or others) cast on to that relationship... and for what? Literally, fucking nothing but anxiety.

Don't get me wrong in 2019 it's not so great not having a Facebook as I do miss quite a few events, but _hey_ at least when I'm there, I'm actually there.

So, "no power" = "very weak"? You sure you haven't moved the goalposts?

The Boston Journeymen Bootmaker's Society won the labor action, and the lawsuit. Why should I believe the Society was weak?

Wait employed five or six Society members, and only one not willing to be in the Society. That sounds like the boot industry, at least, had a high unionization rate.

Of course, that was a craft union. I think you are talking about industrial unions. Which didn't, you know, really exist until after there were big industries in the late 1800s.

"Whatever power they did have emanated from the threat of their illegal activity"

I don't think you read the Wikipedia page on Commonwealth v. Hunt that I linked you to.

It was clear that the Society's power emanated from the threat of a walkout, and not from any sort of illegal activity. Indeed, the court decision was that "labor combinations were legal provided that they were organized for a legal purpose and used legal means to achieve their goals." (quoting Wikipedia).

A walkout must be legal in a free market. Otherwise it's forced labor to say that someone can't quit if they no longer want to work a given job.

You write "as they stand". Which is entirely my point. We are not in a free market. If people really want a free market, they need to advocate for removing restriction on both labor and capital.

Those who only want to remove restrictions on the control of capital, and not labor, are using "free market" hypocritically.

Edit: And remember, the union powers prohibited by Taft-Hartley were legal until then, so those aren't examples of the illegal actions you refer to.

It turns out that being a good programmer isn't simple or easy. I've seen many teams where everyone on paper looks like they should be a good programmer, yet only a few team members are doing the heavy lifting and the majority are really just in supporting roles and sometimes not even doing that so well or even contributing negative marginal productivity by creating bugs, technical debt, and team dissension.

Basically everything? The reason most jobs are so hard to automate is the lack of dependencies having API's you can work against. If we had a billion engineers they could automate probably 90% of white collar jobs we have today simply by throwing human brute brain force at all edge cases. And you know, doing all that labor would definitely be worth it even though it sounds like a waste. That is why software engineers are paid well, and why they will continue to be paid well for a long time forward.

Sure, I know what you're saying. It's just that, unless you take a very narrow view of mathematics as solely a pure subject, application of formally-proven mathematics to the real world is subject to exactly the weaknesses that formally-verified software is subject to.

I can formally, mathematically, prove the equation for the trajectory of a spacecraft, but if my model is wrong then the spacecraft may crash. There's no hard distinction between mathematical proof and software verification here.
Whether it works one way or the other, I find what it recommends to me very disturbing.

Example: I'm a former rock climber and am very interested in knot and knot-tying. I watched some vids on hemp ropes, including "braiding" strands of rope. That points me to a video on hair braiding, which I watch as I do find it mildly interesting, a knot system that won't bind into a mess. Now youtube is recommending me very odd videos of little girls doing makeup and gymnastics. And all the static ads are suddenly only dating aps, "find flirty women in your area" junk.

What do I need to watch to get out of this inappropriate category?

"Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by Dr. David Burns.

People are paid based on both the value they create, and how hard it is to hire them.

If someone being hired will provide $10 of value for the company, then that is the ceiling for their wages. On the other side, the floor for their wages is the lowest price sometime will accept to provide that value to the company.
The article repeatedly leans on nihilism as it's counterpoint to order and meaning. Time is infinite therefore we are meaningless is nilihism. You can fill in time with what means something to you, it need not be empty.

>The thirst for more sounds comically absurd when you zoom out and see that nothing matters, so it’s about going deep into the zoomed-in life you already lead. Your health, your loved ones, your work, your interests, your desire to help others, your values, your existence.

>What could be more meaningful than that?

This quote from the article sums it up, to have a meaningful life you must accept that there isn't any meaning in some points of the world. That worldview leaves a massive gaping black hole of meaning in time and space around you. That black hole where there is no meaning is nihilistic. It clears out the greater story above you that could actually be an expression of what you find meaningful as a human, with which you could fill the universe and replaces it with a pre-determined story, absurdism that includes nothing.

Godel's incompleteness can be used for any argument. Mathematical and computational logic is not the basis of all philosophy, nor is anything we know or the field would be dead. Defining your axioms is part of the game. Defining a world view that includes meaning in all places is a far more sympathetic perspective than to rob the reader's worldview of it's potential to apply in most places, by defining that the vast majority of external existence is non-meaning. Asking the reader to read more is a more healthy perspective.

Arguing that absurdism gives a valuable middle ground between meaning and non-meaning is something I'd heartily disagree with. The reader is more than capable of finding their own middle ground and becoming their own person in the process.
I don't know if this has happened to other people, but I sometimes read a whole book and at the end I realize I do not know the names of the main characters.
I can recognize the names in written form by the shape its shape, but since I never bothered to pronounce them in my head when reading the book I just cannot tell their names.
You're right. Current parser violates the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishm... when it breaks a string of characters without a whitespace into several tokens.

One could imagine first tokenizing only based on whitespace, then only starting to figure out what the tokens are. Which means parsing them individually. Which means another parsing step.

I think this would match human more closely: structure is more obvious based on visual separation than detailed analysis.

I guess it wasn't done that way because the current way of operation means one parser to rule all sources, and that parser can handle more complicated cases. That kind of design decision is more surprising later, but is kind of understandable when you draft a language as the same time as your first parser.

Color accuracy is more important for me, I guess, and I have 99% sRGB coverage desktop LCDs to prove it. As for TVs I had a mid-tier 2013-ish Vizio 42" and a newer mid-tier 2017-ish Samsung 60" and both of them required a lot of tuning to get the color right. The Samsung does HDR and it does look nice, but again my priorities are color accuracy, low latency, and good contrast ratio (I do a lot of photo editing) and don't watch many movies or much TV.

I'm curious as to how a 10-bit display measures up, isn't HDR just a fancy standard for high-bit-rate color? Other than the backlight I imagine they'd still be superior.

I'd still prefer a giant computer display over a TV, if anything to avoid the various "smart" features and other value-adds, but to each their own I guess. I'll check out OLED TVs when I can but the demo reels they play are almost always blown-out contrast-wise and I can't stand images that feel like the saturation is set to max.
Probably just stick with slack. Discord would be the other viable alternative (which I actually prefer).

About the only thing I'm not sure about is the input lag -- the KU8000 and KU8100 models have approx 40ms input lag according to Kogan's support team (found in a Whingepool thread); this is a different series (JU) and generation (8200), so fingers crossed. The similar panel from AU Optronics had the lowest of the three panels they tested (LG and Samsung), so I'll see I guess!

Most ISP put this kind of QR code on the provided "modem" in France with the default Wifi password of the device.

I love QR code. I think it should be everywhere. All legal documents and forms should have one. All supermarket bills should have one.

It's a fantastic way to transition from paper to bits.

Unfortunately most users have no idea what it is. They don't know what a URL is, so a QR code is out of the question.

Plus they don't necessarily have a QR code scanner on their devices: not all phones have one by default, most laptops definitely don't. Not to mention some QRcode readers are sometimes just the regular camera app (E.G: modern iOS), which is very confusing. And even if all that is not a problem, your QRcode scanner may not be able to understand a particular format or will read the Wifi code but just display it while it's supposed to save it as a new access point.

It's definitely not a solved problem.
> Go supports using `aValue.Method` as a function value without losing the `aValue` context. This is a so natural feature but I find that no other popular languages support it (or support it well)[1].

Python (adapted from example at [1]):

def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name

def m(self):
print(self.name)

def g(f):
f()

g(C("foo").m)

Maybe, but the real issue is that anyone is allowed to grow the stuff. And it is really easy to grow. So everyone knows somebody who is growing. Why pay commercial prices when your neighbor can provide you the same quality at a fraction the cost? It may be a "black" market in the sense that it isn't the regulated market, but those who smoke the stuff see little difference between buying a neighbor's pot and buying carrots. They both come from the same garden.
