Thanks for the really thoughtful feedback. I definitely hear this, and I think it would be crazy for us to think that we can build a single tool that will be useful across all ranges of team dynamics and culture.

FWIW, just like how companies can have different cultures around their physical spaces, they could have different practices/expectations set around the virtual space. For example, if there is now an expectation for people to be in the Gather office all the time, that seems like an issue with the company (and you could expect them to do other unpleasant things like, expect you to respond to Slack messages at 10 PM).

Another q would be: under the current paradigm, are you enjoying work from home more than physical offices? One of our goals here is to replicate the physical ones, so maybe this is just not directionally correct for you.

I also admit that I haven't had any of the particular experiences mention, so maybe I'm talking out of my sphere of knowledge here.
I’ve always viewed Bourbaki as something like the CRC Handbook for pure mathematics: an exceptional reference and a necessary collation of wide-ranging ideas and information, but dry by design, and a poor way for self-learners to understand any new topics.

I also think it’s going a little far to say “remove the beauty” - but it is true that if you don’t already have an appreciation for the specific subject, that beauty is awfully hard to find.

You can leave the horse behind and continue by walk if you think it gives you advantage. The speed and maneuverability here is not just about during combat, but mostly about ability to do long term plan and maneuver.
> It's certainly possibly I got some information wrong about Pijul. Please correct me if I have!

That's actually the case, because you can totally simulate Git using Pijul if you want, except for the weird merges where Git shuffles up lines randomly.

> This is a big drawback and so we should hope to get some serious benefits to make up for it.

It is not a drawback at all, there are no downsides to it, and we get the very serious benefit that merges are associative, which is not the case in Git. Indeed, in Git (using diff3 to merge), when Alice adds lines at the beginning of a file and Bob adds lines at the end, some of Bob's line can get merged into Alice's new lines.

> it can not track things like "This calls a function introduced in patch X" which makes the cherry-picking functionality of very little value.

You can totally do that in Pijul by adding extra dependencies, and moreover, this is like saying `git rebase` adds very little value to Git.

> Pijul is like rebase in that it forces you to consider the full history of all the patches in a set which requires to resolve arbitrary conflicts

It is actually the exact opposite: Git forces you to reconsider those conflicts (there's even `git rerere`), whereas Pijul only shows you the unresolved conflicts. Once a conflict is solved in Pijul, it's solved by a patch, and solved forever.

5G is a trojan horse.

5G is about peer-to-peer unblockable communication.

It's the way benign and dumb devices can use phones to phone home.

Everywhere that phones go will increase google's data reach.
The books do have strong connections to one another. They usually list the prerequisites.

Math isn’t just one linear subject. The foundations have tons of branches, and the abstract stuff has lots of branches.
But how did Bourbaki influence elementary/middle school mathematics? Bourbaki mathematics is basically at the level of graduate school. Except in countries where a graduate degree is required to teach mathematics, I can't imagine how there would even be a connection between the two worlds. Is that the case in France?

Again, I'm not disputing what you are saying either, merely trying to understand what happened.

Is it still going on in French schools today? Or was it 60's/70's only?

I would seriously suggest that you ask for a phone from your company.

I don't actually know if there is a form of mobile device management just through a Google account, but if so, I would be careful. Some companies route all traffic through their VPNs, Firewalls, they might install certificate for deep package inspection etc.

There is a reason for such measures, but they can compromise privacy.

Aside from very few exceptions, I would also advice companies not to add private phones to MDM. Phones are too cheap to take the risk.

On the other hand participating (and surviving) in just one real battle would set the knight miles above anyone who is just physically strong from working the land.
Being the target of a cavalry charge is absolutely terrifying even for hardened soldiers. There is very little chance of fighting effectively when everyone around you is fleeing or being pressed together. And you're being charged by a 2-ton armored war machine. Or dozens of them. I'm a reenactor. It's even terrifying when you know it's fake and you know you're safe.

Knights did loose horses though. They all took multiple war horses with them to battle (a "lance" usually consisted of one knight, multiple warhorses and a regular horse for travel/supplies and several servants). When they lost their horse, they fought their way back to their own side and got on the next horse.

It's so ourageous isn't it?

a thousand years before the 2nd amendment was conceived, peasant had other preoccupations than bearing expensive, heavy, difficult to handle arms.

What were they thinking?

Did they not love freedom?

It's so incredible that they did not copy the US Constitution, even though the first Constitution in the human history /, the Magna Charts, was written 4 centuries later than the Annales Bertiniani, in 1215.
Not the ones the military uses. They are more expensive then their planes with humans in them.
I suspect people were saying that in the British Royal Navy a century ago.
That's definitely possible, yeah. I already didn't eat much meat (where I live people aren't as crazy about meat as they often are in the US) and was used to salads and veggie sandwiches and stuff for meals.

But I agree, if they choose to bring these offerings to other countries, they're going to have to adjust the recipes, as I'm sure they will.
Could be. Although high school (at least where I am) only teaches a tiny drop of mathematics (so the other style is also difficult.). But generally the is an adaptation problem/challenge in the first two semesters of math students where usually only solving a lot of problem and getting them corrected helps.

But dont worry, these things can be overcome (do not fight them at your current stage if you are still a student). Just dont believe the 'hours needed' in the description of the modules (they are politically decided). Generously work around the clock for the first few years.....

edit: more seriously: although working hard is important: go to the office hours of your TA and/or prof and discuss the work you are doing. Usually no student does that and you will learn a lot.

Software development: should we stop? Maybe we should
I might be wrong, but I believe the only soldiers hurt were not on tanks, but foot soldiers after leaving the transport vehicles.

However this doesn't fit the "A peasant vs. a Knight" comaprison. A huge mass can also easily stop and defeat a knight.
Would the knight even have access to “bad” carbs / sugar in significant enough amounts to make them so fat that they’d be unfit for combat? It’s not like they can just get another carton of Pringles to finish off the dinner
> Working the field all day is going to make someone tough and lean.

Working in the field all day is not the same as training specifically for combat whole day. And nutrition is massively important for muscle building.
Why is Python utilized for hacking?
Most broadly utilized scripting language for Hackers is Python. Python has some very critical highlights that make it especially valuable for hacking, most importantly, it has some pre-assembled libraries that give some intense functionality.

Your comment is 100% off topic to the article. It's as on topic as bringing up Palestine. It's just divisive.
The problem is that a lot of "the target audience" usually intelligent and prosperous people who used to drop serious cache on apple stuff have stopped buying and are grumbling.

Sure, but that doesn't mean meat is the main culprit to obesity either That is not to say it doesn't play a role, nor the meat subsidies have other adverse effects either.

It's processed foods with added sugars/sweeteners that fuel obesity, and the lack of affordable unprocessed vegetables sure directly worsens the situation. In the US corn subsidies in particular are an issue, as they not only fuel obesity via high fructose syrup but also a third of the corn is used as animal feed, serving as an indirect subsidy to the meat industry.

"All burgesses and freemen shall have a gambeson, an iron cap and a lance"

-English Assize of Arms, 1181.

Knights, and freemen who owned more than a certain value of property, were required to own more and better weapons.

Later laws extended this obligation to all men not just freemen, and required ownership of bows.

It looks like it's definitely not easy to engage conversation with strangers.

I tried it for 20minutes and wanted to connect to random people, but noone seems like they wanted to talk ! they just walk away (and going after them looked like harassment ).
> Humans have been eating meat for 10s or 100s of thousands if not millions of years.

This argument glosses over the crux of current scientific knowledge: We do not know exactly why the type of meat the (average) human eats today is net-negative for health _even though_ humans have been eating meat for ages.

Particularly, is it due to the change in nutritional makeup due to domestication, mass farming, processing etc. or is meat inherently (slightly) carcinogenic?

If somebody knows of recent studies, would love to learn more.

> I guess that really depends on what you consider a "1-1 military battle." Gentlemanly warfare used to be people marching and staying in formation and going straight at each other until they died. With that battle strategy, the victor is generally going to be the one with more people covering more ground.

The US practically pioneered modern "all out war" with the civil war, which is certainly nothing like gentlemanly colonial wars. Trench warfare in WW1 turned every attack into an ambush basically. Of course by ww2, air power and moving fast with technology crushed that.

It's certainly important to add context to history by talking about the larger picture and how things play out practically. But we really don't need to replace every word with a metaphor that has a political statement behind it. Narrowing the argument to military objectives specifically (as opposed to political), and considering whether one side or the other has the ability to achieve them, is still important because when wars are against existential threats, those political gloves will come off.
When We See the World’s First AI Movie Director?
In most countries the schoolbooks had been changed to teaching about sets and stuff in the first grade. Generally more abstract or top-down approach. Old school approach was more bottom-up.

In my country I have been still learning from old schoobooks while classes below had new schoolbooks - thats why I remember that well.

Recently I have been helping 11 year old with classes (remote learning now). And my impression is that this top-down approach is still present but the schoolbook was full of practical life examples (money issues, understanding newspaper articles with pecentages and percent points etc.)

Fanta also has an interesting history: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/fanta-soda-origins-naz...

Also overlooked in the post WWII analysis (apart from historians) is the influence of the Adenauer government: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirtschaftswunder

There’s a great book called “the shortest history of Germany” that covers it nicely. It’s fascinating. This type of government action (included devaluation of citizens money but allowing companies to retain their value, cheap, highly motivated and educated labour force) likely had a much great impact than the Marshall Plan which is what you always hear about today. The book also goes into details on how the border of the Roman world still today predicts the richest regions of Germany, and created a split in the East/West “world”.
Everything the developer needs. Legal framework, a trusted 3rd party (from the user side), revenue share with other contributors, ability to manage dual-licensing for repos, and much more. the thing is, xs:code also makes it easier to BUY from the developer. and that what makes it work, for both sides.
Plus - at least so far - it hasn't aged; they are reluctant to make backwards-incompatible changes, and right now they're really humming and harring about whether or not to add generics. The biggest changes you'll see in Go codebases from 10 years ago vs modern will be Go's module system / dependency management and the `context` package sprinkled as an argument to some of the API methods.

Compare that to other languages (from the top of my head, don't pin me down on details or inaccuracies please):

- Java: Added generics, annotations, lambda expressions and streams, new date/time libraries, modules, switch expressions and multiline strings.

- PHP: Added classes, types, null coalescing operator, etc

- Javascript: Classes, ES6 features (arrow functions), imports, and offshoots like Flow, Typescript.

- Obj-C / Swift; ARC, Swift itself (4 versions), I haven't been up to date with this much.

TL;DR, most languages really shift over time, often 'borrowing' features from other languages, but Go resists these changes because it's intended to still be read and compile in ten, twenty years' time.

Personally, I'm working on a management interface for a network application; the existing UI has been around since 2012, I'm trying to build this to last at least as long, probably longer, and I think Go is a great choice for it. The old application was built in PHP 5.2, which is vastly outdated now (and updating is challenging because on the one hand, the versions of RHEL used in production don't supply newer packages, and on the other there's 65K lines of badly written PHP that would likely need to be updated).

Conversely, the new Go back-end is standalone and self-contained, I try and maintain the habit of updating the Go version and all dependencies monthly; so far I've never had to make any code changes or had to rethink my architecture because of Go adding a new (architectural) feature. (I probably have the benefit that it started after `context` and the module system were in place though). I feel a lot more confident in its future proof-ness. And I feel confident that anyone looking at the code can maintain it, although that said I'm cautious about the more magic parts like GORM, which I should probably swap out with lower-level SQL at some point but I don't really want to.

Thanks, I remember reading that.

What I still miss is an explanation of how generating good code on the platforms currently not supported by the LLVM will be achieved, which is what a language intending to be widely used instead of C would somehow have to address. Will it support compiling Zig code to C and using the platform C compilers?
One part of the ecosystem and community is that they tend to pull up their nose at using too many libraries, especially if they're too different from the standard library. A lot of people come into e.g. the Go slack channel and ask "What is the best web application framework?", because that's the go-to thing when you do e.g. Java; the common answer is "YAGNI", because the standard library is good enough. If not, there are some really lightweight libraries on top of the stdlib that do things like adding route matching, or slight conveniences to do SQL.

As with so many things I suspect it comes down to leadership and tactics - if you get to choose and prepare the ground a small lightly armed force could definitely defeat a much larger force of heavily armed mounted knights.

The Battle of Loudon Hill (1307) is a good example - look at the map:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Loudoun_Hill

'Crossing the T' in a land battle!

This battle was included at the end of the Netflix movie 'Outlaw King', which although it includes a fair number of inaccuracies is perhaps better than most and at least is reasonably close to what happened (which is more than I can say for some comparable more famous movies):

I have known. Totally legally residing expats. Everyone who persevered was able to get one, but some gave up after 4 months of back and forth of increasingly onerous requests.

And none of them was able to get any reasonable saving rate - saving accounts pay less than local government bonds in just about every place, but the most anyone was able to get was a savings account with low interest (and in some cases, not even that).

I have a friend in Israel who was born in the US, and has a US passport, but has not set foot in the US since age 6 (40 years ago). It didn’t matter in the past, but over the last 10 years he has been increasingly told to take his business elsewhere by every financial institution; big banks will do checking and saving. Nothing else is allowed.
AFAIK the idea at that time was to try to apply the Bourbaky method to teach kids elementary maths - e.g. try to explain the concept of sets before kids know how to add 2 numbers (I'm caricaturing but not that much - you had to explain to kids Peano before addition..). Someone else might have a better answer for that as I'm too young to know. Wikipedia French page on 'New Math' mentions it but not in details.

> Is it still going on in French schools today? Or was it 60's/70's only?

Unless you are in a reaally elitist high school in Paris with a really old teacher, this should'nt happen nowadays.
INI does not perform any computations, it is a file format without any execution model defined.

>When learning a new topic in math, I personally prefer to start with a more formal, terse text. For me, the texts that focus too much on examples and motivation tend to be chattier

Soviet books (MIR Publishers) are notoriously terse and to the point. This is what we used in college, and it has made it difficult for me to read a different style, because the content tries my patience.

For example, I couldn't consume Andrew Ng's Coursera ML course, but I appreciated the CS229 recorded at Stanford because he dove directly into the maths part. I didn't want to see slides, I needed to see problem statement, pause the video, work through gradient descent, play the video, and check I got it right. Side note: doing this [pause, working on it, play] has its advantages, it helped avoid a confusion the instructor had in the course with notation, for example, which you had to be sorted out in the later part of the course.

As you said, it is a spectrum of content with different styles for different needs and people, but even for the same person, one might need a style at a certain point and the other at another point. I remember in my third year I used some MIT OCW resources because I felt my brain was shot and I needed to be spoon fed on a topic I was so far behind on.
> When they lost their horse, they fought their way back to their own side and got on the next horse.

Oh interesting, so it was basically expected? Not a force majeure? I always thought losing a horse back then was a really big event for the knight, borderline tragic - a big financial loss, a highly increased likelihood of dying (getting stuck under the horse etc etc)
> even after you disable these options, Firefox still collects and sends data to servers

I am surprised, for a product that claims to be privacy focused to behave in this way. I am a Firefox user and have not disabled telemetry since I think it can help Firefox and I trust them no to do anything wrong with it. But I would have expected that unchecking the telemetry option would actually disable telemetry.
