Physics-Based Differentiable Rendering: A Comprehensive Introduction
Nonsense. There are very walkable and affordable cities with pleasant neighborhoods that don't break the bank in all parts of the world (sans North America). Off the top of my head and from first hand experience:

- Warsaw

- Glasgow

- Porto

- Lisbon

- Athens (Greece)

- Berlin

- Budapest

- Barcelona (OK, this one gets pricey but is superbly laid out)
I'm not sure it's unexpected.

Javascript has some weird behaviors, but in this case Arrays in Javascript can contain multiple types. How would you sort an array of `['cat', 80.3, '80']`? I think I would expect that to end up as `['80', 80.3, 'cat']`, not `[80.3, '80', 'cat'].

Or to make things more complicated, `['cat', 80.3, { foo: 'bar' }, true]`. Do we want to try and intuit whether that object gets converted to a string or a value? Do we base that intuition on the prototype chain, or what?

I think it makes sense to cast every object/type in the array to a shared format so everything can be compared based on the same criteria.

---

Have simple rules that are universally applied:

- All objects are converted to strings

- Strings are sorted alphabetically

vs something weird like:

- We try to intuit what type you want based on several common type conversions and possibly the prototype

- We have a set of built-in rules about which primitive types (number, boolean, string, Symbol) comes before and after other primitive types.

In 2006, I had a brand new asus laptop. I first tried To install Debian. Then I tried Fedora, or Redhat, I don’t remember when that split was. My next try was Ubuntu, which went without a hitch. Since it’s always worked for me, I’ve stuck with it.

This was after several years of running Redhat, Suse and Debian on desktops, so I wasn’t a newbie.

China's game plan has been to encourage companies to use Chinese factories based on artificially low prices (subsidized with massive PRC spending), and then to (usually openly) steal the IP and begin making competing products.

This cycle has already happened to over a dozen former clients. I went in-house years ago, but even before then my firm had begun discouraging companies from opening manufacturing facilities in China for any product with any sort of valuable technical IP.
> So what aspects of this are truly anticompetitive?

The aspects of Apple's behavior are that they use their control of a large percentage of the US market to take actions against competitors.

Your example that you gave, would not be illegally anti-competitive, because a single mall is a small market.

If, instead, in the example you gave, the mall owner, owned half of all retail space, within a 100 mile radius (and a singular other competitor controlled the other half of all retail space within 100 miles), then the courts would absolutely call the behavior anti-competitive.

And before you say it, yes Apple is not a literal monopoly, but that does not matter. Apple is 1 half of a duopoly in the US, and that is bad enough, that their anti-competitive behavior should be regulated.

In the US, if a company has a large amount of market power, even if they are not a literal monopoly, then certain anti-competitive behavior becomes illegal.

If you compare bash of today with that of 20 years ago, a lot of extensions/features have been added. On top of that, people use 3rd party tools to enhance their command line experience - you yourself mentioned zoxide. Lots of people make use of fzf. Imagine someone asking what the benefit of fzf is over using the command line - you likely will say that there's a false dichotomy - fzf is a command line tool to enhance your experience.

Likewise, midnight commander really is just that. You don't have to choose between the two. When running mc, you have full access to the command line. If you wish, you can just make the panels disappear and invoke them with a keybinding whenever you want to use them. I assume ranger will have similar capability.

It's not mc or the command line. It's mc and the command line.

It's one of those hackneyed theories that has a grain of truth in it, but nothing more. Yes, perhaps fear of being nuked drove some people from the cities, but what actually drove a lot more people from the cities was racism, plain and simple. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_flight That, a lot more than fear of nuclear war, is what drove suburbanization, along with the rising spending power of the middle class that made a detached home in the suburbs and a car achievable on a single salary.

Germany bailing out Greece was and is a myth. Germany (actually the ECB and IMF) bailed out (mostly) German bondholders by assuming Greek national debt. In the process, they crashed the Greek economy even worse.

It didn't help that Greece had just elected a extremist government to replace the corrupt one they had before. But all told, Greeks paid the price, not germans. The German bailout is populist rhetoric, and untrue.

In any case, every major monetary event is unique so "never happened before" is always true. That said, there have been many, many monetary collapses. The roman crisis of the 3rd century is a famous, empire-spanning one. The reason the gold standard was abandoned in 1971 was essentially a run on gold/dollars, the reserve currency of the world.
Well yes, it goes to show that you can find an abundance of systemic racism against black people in all kinds of housing policy.

The argument that you need method-style syntax to have good IDE support is short-sighted. Haskell has something more powerful (typed holes), so a common thought is Haskell needs a different sort of IDE support and not expect it to feel the same as Java.

Steroid use is linked among other things with embolism, stroke, heart attack and sudden death.
But it does make perfect sense -- if at some point a certain category was shown to have a very high projected morbidity rate -- say the overweight elderly with diabetes -- you could approve the medicine just for that group if it was deemed better than just letting those people die.

Just like you give amphetamine salts to people with ADHD and not to the general population -- because the benefits outweigh the risks for that particular population.

But scientists are not in that category.

It makes logical sense. You cause problem A by leaving, and then in coming back you cause problem B.

In the white flight analogy, the only winning move was never to seek segregation from moving out of the cities in the first place.

Rent has got a long way to fall before you can find a room in a house for $300/month. It needs to be around there for it to be truly Bohemian, where rent can be paid off after only a days of work, by artists, many of whom don't code, and just aren't suited for a 9-5 corporate job. The Beatles didn't suddenly decide to quit high-profile jobs at law firms, they lived off government welfare before making it big.

Art makes do, just maybe not here. Some has already been gentrified and priced out of Oakland and have moved further, up into Richmond or south to Hunters Point. Others have looked at coming back to the city, and still found that 20% discount off $4,000/month is still utterly unaffordable, with no private garage space, and with so many neighbors all working from home that aren't appreciative of impromptu 4am Tuesday nightjam sessions.

I'd love it for San Francisco's culture to undergo a revival and for the arts to flourish, but with this much money in the area, San Francisco could just as easily go the way of LA or Miami with conspicuous consumption. Maybe that helps the arts, but Teslas aren't Bohemian.

China doesn't have a lot of old intact structures though since they used worse building materials than Romans. Age of the city doesn't matter much if all structures are new.

And no, the great wall of China isn't ancient. The parts we see today were built in the 14th century, the parts that are millennia old are no longer there so you can only see traces of it in the ground.

Europe on the other hand has impressive structures 2 millenia old like this:

After reading about some especially unsubtle racism in the French right-wing press today, [1] it struck me how similar France and the United States are in this regard, at least superficially. The centrist people in government condemning the obvious racism, the powerful right-wing political figure offering a weird non-condemnation condemnation that does not call racism by its right name, the far-right publisher's response:

"Our text is not racist at all," it argued. "It is convenient for our opponents to throw that accusation at us."

None of it seems very alien to an American.

What's the advantages of a human compared to a computer for landing in rough weather? I would think it's a fairly logical problem. Wind is rotating the plane left, need to move the stick right. Wind is pulling the plane up, need to slow down or push the stick forward, etc. Need to make adjustments past safe levels or can't keep the plane level enough means it's too rough and the landing needs to be aborted. In my mind, it seems like the thing that's perfect for a computer. It can instantly take into consideration hundreds of precise measurements, sensors, and history, and make corrections for the precise amounts. A human has a much slower reaction time and can't make adjustments with the same degree of precision. I feel like a computer could correct a quick gust of wind before a person even has time to move their hand.

Compared to a self-driving car where you have all sorts of situations that require complex analysis, like trying to determine if that's a person lying on the highway or an empty garbage bag, this seems like it should be a walk in the park.
I can’t find the passage at the moment, but in his book Notes on Culture, T. S. Eliot actually argues that this is endemic to a societal system which is run by meritocratic, technocratic elites. That is, by those who excel at the required skills necessary to ‘climb the ladder’ and not by a broad cultural class which maintains power, I.e. a hierarchical aristocracy in the British form. His argument is something like: when you get the entire populace concerned with acquiring power, they will inevitably be dissatisfied with their current societal position.

Not sure I agree with him entirely, but it’s an interesting position.

I started with Elm, then I started working through Learn You a Haskell. At first I thought the lack of typeclasses in Elm was a big missing piece, but now I see the potential for me to turn a programming problem into a little-too-philosophical debate about the nature of truth in the universe or some such. In other words leaving out typeclasses may help but not guarantee that I keep my eyes on the screen and off of my navel.
I don't know why 20 was popular but 12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6, and when multiplied by 5 equals 60, which is divisible by 20, of course. 30 is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 5 as well, but is not divisible by 20, so 60 was preferred, perhaps.

> ...which means we don't even need any empirical evidence to say that banks are different and unique from non-bank entities!

That's correct, and I said so in the article. I said that (although there is no empirical evidence) the underlying claim is true on a technicality.

>> Werner claimed to have empirical evidence for this.

> No, he doesn't. He claims that he has empirical evidence for banks creating money out of thin air, nothing more.

Here is a direct quote from Werner's paper: "We now know, based on empirical evidence, why banks are different, indeed unique … and different from both non-bank financial institutions and corporations: it is because they can individually create money out of nothing."

When Werner claims to have empirical evidence that banks possess a unique ability to create money out of nothing, he is technically making 4 claims:

1. Banks possess said ability

2. Non-banks do not possess said ability

3. Empirical evidence shown for claim 1

4. Empirical evidence shown for claim 2

Claim 4 ("empirical evidence shown for claim 2") is patently false.

There are almost certainly no real world applications. Most pure mathematical research never has real world applications.

On the other hand, every once in while it gives you the foundations of e-commerce and is worth a trillion dollars. And it doesn't cost much, since all it requires is coffee and computers. So all told it's pretty cost effective.

And no, we never have the faintest idea which fundamental research will turn out to be insanely profitable.

Is it the case this time? No, probably not. But it cost very little to do, and maybe it enables something else.
