Why is jQuery a dependency for an SEO plugin for a static site generator like Hugo?
Somehow this strikes me as pay-your-dues elitism. I agree the fundamentals of color and form are essential. And perhaps some basic technique. But ultimately the sooner and more free people are to experiment then I believe the more variety society will gain.

Cameras are biased. It doesn’t matter to me if they are less biased.

Cameras don’t fix the problems with law enforcement or the legal system and they introduce a whole set of new problems.

I’m not sure how you think cameras would actually help? Surely officers are still able to perform traffic stops, even with cameras on every corner.

I’d rather solve the actual problems than automate authoritarianism.
My favourite explanation is that a framework calls your code, whereas for a library, your code calls the library functions. Does that make sense?

> Today’s equity market structure is highly fragmented, consisting of fifteen national
securities exchanges, over thirty alternative trading systems, multiple single-dealer
platforms within broker-dealers, and other forms of order matching

While the fragmentation of trading venues has led to competition on fees, in my experience it has actually widened the effective spread (spread + fees) and created a more difficult environment for customers.

Let's say a market-maker would like to trade 100 contracts. Any less than that is great, and any more than that is bad, as the counter-party is likely well informed about their trade. With one exchange, the market-maker can post their 100 contracts on that exchange, and be confident that the most risk they will take on is 100 contracts.

With multiple exchanges, the market-maker now needs to spread their exposure across exchanges (say, 10 contracts each on 15 exchanges), which can leave them (A) overexposed across exchanges, and (B) underexposed on any given exchange.

(A) causes a problem because the market-makers compensate for this risk by widening spreads. If the most sophisticated counterparties in the market can access liquidity across exchanges, the market-maker needs to at least statistically account for that possibility.

(B) causes a problem for customers with less sophisticated market access. In the example above, a customer with access to 1 of 15 exchanges only has the ability to trade 10 contracts, when they could trade 150 contracts with connectivity to all 15 exchanges.

For a real life example of where single listing works, you can currently trade over 20m of notional value with a spread of about .01 basis points in the ES future listed on the CME.

The constitution is a contract between the people and govetnment where both parties operating under rule of law agree to abide by those terms. Nobody gives a shit because if government breaks the terms of this contract there is no direct consequence. But if the people break this contract there is all sorts of punishment. I don't agree with you about shutting down the economy and mask wearing (because government has constitutional authority to regulate commerce and they can make you wear seatbelts and prevent you from drinking and driving, that same authority allows them to tell you to wear a mask and avoid killing grandma) but if you are right,a lot of people would be very careful to avoid violating your rights if there was consequence.

I dunno. Is anything 'bad'? Maybe there's no difference between anything. I feel like we're talking about building materials and someone pipes up to say 'no building material is bad', which is kind of true, but then we all die because our bridge was built with glass. We do have to be discerning, and that does involve real criticism of language design and choice.
> If everyone hates it, why is OOP still so widely spread?

The premise of the question is false.

There are a few people who hate OOP, and a larger numbers who hate (or at least dislike) the conditions in the period of unquestioned OOP hegemony when that square peg had to be shoved in every available round hole.

No, it does not sit at the same 1-tick spread all day. Typically for these tickers the 1-tick spread transitions very quickly to the 1-tick spread above or below (each individual market is going to be 2-tick wide for a very small amount of time at each tick transition, much less than 1 second).
> So immutable records only makes business sense in databases too small to benefit from immutable records

My claim is that discarding historical data is an optimization. Its an optimization that should be off by default and turned on when needed. Archiving and compacting history should be something you do only need to do when your database size gets out of control.

For small databases there's no reason to throw away historical records at all - and having an immutable log of records and updates should be the default.
DDC/CI seems like an absolute crapshoot - I've got some 10 year old Dell monitors that don't seem to support it at all, but someone with the same monitors reported brightness control.

I just checked my 2019 Acer XB27HU, which reports brightness control but it doesn't seem to work - it then got stuck in Factory Test mode. It doesn't support input selection and doesn't do any kind of hotplug detection. I've never seen a monitor review mention these kind of features, either.
Master chefs will tell you sharp knives are safer than dull ones because dull knives tend to slip instead of cutting. That’s been my experience too, as someone who loves to cook and keeps his knives sharp.

I don’t think your analogy is appropriate though. My original analogy, the Swiss Army knife, conveys what I think is the core of the problem with OOP: it takes unrelated, powerful tools, and ties them together in a way that makes them unwieldy and more difficult to use.

This problem is inherent to the object itself. It ties together unrelated concepts: polymorphism, data abstraction, mutable state, inheritance, and modules. Hence the Swiss Army knife analogy.

Other languages (namely functional languages) give you all of these powerful tools but you get them separately, so they’re easier to control.
Well it might blow up some software not expecting these tiny tick sizes but there is an economic motive for larger tick sizes.

Traders can compete on

- price

- queue position

Small ticks mean they compete on price and big ticks mean they compete on queue position - to trade they need to have an order on the book, offering to trade at the current tick, that is ahead of other orders.

It's easy to see how the market benefits if people compete on price. However, it also benefits if people show how much they are willing to buy and sell. No sophisticated trader wants to reveal that as they will be taken advantage of when they are wrong. By having bigger tick sizes you incentivise people to try to get into the queue at these artificially better prices - it pulls liquidity into the open.

The tick size pilot that concluded in 2019 shows how this balance isn't easy to strike https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/key-topics/tick-size-pi...

"The important part is to understand what a paradigm is good at and what it is not, and select the right one for whatever you are working on."

I've been programming since I was maybe 13, and being 34 today I find this to be more and more true. Programming IS JUST A TOOL to get something done. When I say "just a tool", I do not mean to ~undermine OR overexcite~ the concept of a tool. The real power to seek as a programmer is knowing lots of programming platforms and paradigms, as then you have the knowledge to select the best tool or technique to accomplish solving a specific problem within a domain at hand.

You wouldn't want to keep all of your proverbial eggs in one basket. Split the file into a multi-volume archive and create a par2/par3 parity volume set. Distribute parts of the parity set and parts of the data archive amongst m pigeons such that you only need n pigeons to arrive on time without having gotten lost, shot or eviscerated by hawks, and you can reliably rebuild the original data set with fault tolerance that also handles read/write errors on the MicroSD cards.

>(the 10300-10900k are all the same chip with different parts turned off due to manufacturing errors)

Wow. Is this a relatively new phenomenon, or something that's been the norm in processor mfg for a long time? I know that the Ks were usually just binned/higher tested chips so they'd unlock those and charge a premium for them, but the idea that they're disabling parts of the die and separating the chip offering that way is crazy to me. Are the parts being disabled redundant or are they reducing the instruction set space? I don't know anything about how any of that would work.
That's my understanding as well. Quantum states encode finite information (despite their dynamics lying on the reals; the practical consequence is just that state transitions and information flow are smooth).

The formal discussion around this is largely centered on the Church-Turing thesis:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church%E2%80%93Turing_thesis

Essentially stating (in a certain interpretation) that any physical process can be simulated by a Turing machine (with no mention of efficiency). This seems to be the case, although I'm not sure we have a convincing proof from quantum field theory yet (note that quantum process can be simulated in classical Turing machines, although with an exponential cost).

...sprawl is self-limiting because who wants to do a 4 hour daily commute?

Not in the larger scheme of things. People move to suburb X before grid lock and have a one hour commute. Enough people move there that the commute is suddenly two and a half hours or more. But people keep moving to the area because the houses exist, the land is still relatively cheap and so-forth. The bottom may even fall out of the market but the place exists, someone will buy the houses. Exurbs can easily become suburban ghettos like Antioch or Modesto.

But naturally, it's not just the commute part the closes in on exurbs. Cost of services is higher and once the places become less-than-upper-middle-class, they don't have a tax base to pay for expensive services, they become less desirable than urban ghettos.
I agree. You can get rid of lots of unit tests if you do functional, integration, and performance testing of your APIs.

I was about 10% bodyfat and literally in the best shape of my life when it happened. If you can expound on the dietary thing I'd like to hear it. I've heard ideas that its a bile duct blockage but I've never seen any correlation between what blocks that duct and what you eat in any studies.

Believe me, I was curious after having my organ ripped out after crawling into the ER after driving myself to the hospital and experiencing my first surgery ever in my life that charged my insurance company $35k.
It is currently embargoed and the raw data will never be released because of HIPAA. I didn't focus on the costs, so even when my dissertation is published next year the costs won't be discussed. It's just one of those things that I couldn't help but write a quick query because the information was present.

There were a few extreme cases where a person had over 10,000 claim lines in a single year at a cost of millions of dollars. And insurance actually paid, because I only saw adjudicated claims. But a more typical person has a dozen or so claims costing maybe a thousand dollars in a year. There are also people that go years without a single medical encounter, but as soon as they need treatment for something it tends to be an expensive year. The issue I see is that most people probably don't have good enough savings habits to be able to afford basic healthcare if they don't have their premiums on autopay or pulled out of their paycheck before they have a chance to spend it. So although most people could save $1k in a year, insurance is like a savings account that you have to make deposits to and can bail you out if you really need more.
> There's no choice in a democracy but to have something like the pardon power.

Not necessarily. IIUC the American President's pardon power is based on the British monarch's pardon power. The role of President was conceived (consciously or unconsciously) as an elected, non-hereditary monarch. He had many of the same powers - veto, commander of the military.

> Not having a pardon power allows bad judges to throw anyone they don't like into jail with no recourse by anyone.

That would require every judge in every court up to the highest court to be bad.

Fox and WSJ reach pales in comparison to the reach of CNN/MSNBC/NYTimes/ABC/NBC and other traditional Democrat allied media.

As for bias and being a source of reputable news, I would have agreed with you a few years ago but at this point Fox News and the WSJ are far more balanced and unbiased than the Democrat allied media.

It's popular on the Left to say that Fox is a cesspool, but Fox has multiple anchors who are strongly anti-Trump and critical of him on a regular basis while the Democrat allied media is almost exclusively anti Trump and anti Republican.

The depth of Democrat run media hatred of Trump and conservatives - ironic given the "hate has no home here" mantra - causes them to peddle truly egregious lies on a regular basis.

Don't forget about Keith B. Alexander, the director of the NSA at that time.

He testified to congress that this program helped foil 54 terror plots. Weeks later, he conceded that it was helpful in "only one or two".

We later found out there was basically just one, and it wasn't a terror plot; it was a Somali-born taxi driver living in San Diego who attempted to send $8,500 to a Somali terror group.

But the damage was done. The headlines blared from his initial testimony about the NSA using this program to thwart 50+ terror plots, but there was a fraction of that coverage correcting it.

Clapper's perjury may be more blatant, but Gen. Alexander's is pretty galling too. They both should've been charged.

Yeah, absolutely. It also shows though how you can easily accidentally bias a blind test. If an artist did manage to create a perfectly realistic render but forgot to add in one of the subtle unrealistic effects that cameras cause, people would be able to tell which images were photos.

(Although, maybe you could argue that if the challenge is to make photorealistic renders rather than realistic renders, nailing the camera artifacts is part of the challenge.)
