Anger is a product of evolution, as we signal an intent of physical violance against an object of it, giving some time to recover the harm that has been done, before the confrontation goes out of control. That's all it is.
I'm sorry but this all strikes me as rather delusional.

The reason why functional languages doesn't take off is because programming languages are tools, not an end in themselves. Carpenters that are obsessed with perfecting their power tools would rightly be out of a job in a very short amount of time. Furthermore most of these "perfections" aren't even virtuous - in the sense of searching for improvement - but just self-indulgence and aesthetics.

Functional languages are dense, hard to read, have a high cognitive load, and are thus unproductive beyond the proverbial garage startup. They are also designed and used mostly by mentioned power tool decorators rather than practitioners, with the inevitable end result.

Well, you can. You just need to attach the accessory to a lego piece that suits your fancy, and you're done.

Yep. Ludicrous colour choices!
Agreed. Voting machines definitely seem like a step backwards. Keeping doctors records on digital media and sharing them in case the patient switches doctors seems like common sense though.
Haha hey Andrew, long time!

Speaking of good recruiters, you’re in the good books. Keep it up :)
And positive indices not as possible keys, but as array elements. It's crazily inconsistent.

> l = [1,2,3]
(3) [1, 2, 3]
> l[3] = 4
4
> l
(4) [1, 2, 3, 4]
> l[-1] = "eek"
"eek"
> l
(4) [1, 2, 3, 4, -1: "eek"]

So adding a 4 as a "key" is a proper array element; adding -1 is an object key. I'm struggling to see how anyone could think this is a good idea. Saying that they're objects is not reasonable. Objects don't need to do this (in most languages lists are objects, and they don't also do key-value pairs at the same time); they just decided to make them do this.

.... in the same way that having a billion transistors in a computer isn't practical. Or a computer in every car tweaking fuel injection. It's not practical until it is. Electronics goes down in price. Algorithms improve. Insulation stays fixed or goes up in price. I would say it's not a question of "if" but "when."

The answer to that might be right now (we couldn't do it before, and we probably can today) or it might be in a decade. But electronics will keep falling in price. 10,000 microphones * $5 per microphone+electronics = $50k.

The advantages of cancelling an entire wavefront go well beyond passenger comfort too. Industrial noise cancelling systems are more about equipment life than about employee comfort. I had laptop screws unscrew on airplanes before, due to vibration. If planes need less maintenance as a result of active vibration reduction throughout the airplane, you'll make up that $50k virtually overnight.

As a footnote, the crazy part here isn't the 10,000 microphones, but the speaker-at-every-seat part. You'd almost certainly want both the microphones and speakers in the skin of the airplane. But that's a story for another day.

> Something feels wrong about de facto forcing people to do a medical procedure, regardless of its intent. While we're not there yet, I think it is likely we will be soon. If e.g. border crossings, airplane rides or certain public gatherings require vaccination.

Think about the other people involved.

If I'm unable to take the vaccine for medical reasons, I need the others around me to be vaccinated in order to be safe. If you allow unvaccinated people to roam unrestricted, I'm unable to participate safely in society.

So you have a choice between infringing on the freedoms of those who have a choice and those who don't. Which group should be protected?

I see no reason why the group that has a choice should be given priority over the group that doesn't. The group that has a cnoice can choose to take the vaccine and the restrictions end.

You can also take the argument to an extreme: what if the disease was life-threatening?

Should society respect somebody's freedom to the point of allowing them to endanger the lives of others?

If not, at what point does the severity of the disease make it okay to risk inflicting it on others?

The Fed did exactly what they needed to do. If the alternatives are a) housing prices go up, and then go down later as the Fed removes stimulus, or b) 30% unemployment, then the Fed should choose b. If asset prices crash later, that's not the Fed's problem. Their job is to prevent inflation and prevent unemployment. They've done that. The impact on the stock market is incidental.
It's hard to read. Maybe because the dark background is too light? Or maybe the typeface? I can't read each list with focus, because the next or previous list is grabbing my attention too. Let's say I read list number 2 title, my eyes simply jump up and down reading number 1 and 3. Have you consider to darken the background?

Anyway, nice design!
Never could I. What helps me often is to consider the C language heritage of Python. There, the beginner also has the slightly confusing some_var[y][x]=some_value, caused by the computers memory model behind. Consequently, I'm always looking for the hierarchy of fastest changing indexes. This explains/justifies a lot of the design decisions made also for numpy.
That’s what happens when people believe that “the market” is some kind of weird hybrid of a cornucopia and a perpetual motion machine..

These are bad comparisons. Other collectibles are tangible; Bitcoin is invisible.

It will take effort to prove that you indeed do have one or more of the "finite" (21 million is a big finite when it comes to collectibles) bitcoins.

Collectors like to show off their collections. And since most people in the world, many techies included, cannot discern what is true from what is counterfeit when it comes to virtual items, there will be many times more fake bitcoin collections than real ones.

You're better off collecting words. Those are finite too, and some fall out of use or even exist only in some dead languages.

Finite in the context of collectibles thus far tends to mean "a small few". Even if it means "quite a few", it's still an absurd stretch to say that 21 million is the kind of finite that makes for a collectible.
That sounds like a wig, only harder to wash, and with added pain if/when it gets stuck in something, and a bigger fire hazard than either a wig or natural hair.

We spend enough on Google Maps API that I've been looking at alternative. We're more interested in fuzzy searching, addresses and points of interest.

Street numbers seems like a pretty big weakness for open source datasets. If all you have is the name of a 1km street, you only get 1km precision.

The APIs from other commercial providers (e.g. TomTom) have better data, but noticeably worse search. I don't think they make their raw data available except for very large deals.
As long as they are carrying less people than 737-MAX, I think they will be fine with less redundancy.

Maker here. As a web developer and designer I'm always looking to simplify my messages with illustrations. According to Simon Thorpe et al [1], it takes people an average of 150ms for a picture to be processed and 100ms more to understand its meaning. This means we can convey our message much easier with some kind of visual system.

The process of finding and using these illustrations frustrates me. I'm never sure if I'm infringing copyrights or if I have to add confusing attributions to the artist or platform... I've found several interesting libraries but .svg format (where I can change the illustrations to fit my needs) is often paid.

So - as a designer I have a bunch of illustrations sitting on my hard drive - I decided to make ilustra [2] this weekend to give them away for free and help solve this problem.

The book I read is the first link at the bottom of my message above. In there I randomly picked from the bibliographic references, just to double check: is this so?

The second link I've provided above might be the us english language precursor of the book I've read. It has the same primary author and it came up when I googled for the German one. So they seem to be tightly related. I don't know if that has a comparably thorough bibliography, though. And the referenced books from the bibliography were 90% German language papers, agriculture, weaving machines, nutrition, pharmacology, what have you.

So: I suggest the above linked books :-)
Yep, but the reality is that "we don't know", an accelerated, simulated aging test may (or may not) have the same results as "real" aging.

250 hours @ 90 C°/85% humidity, how does that compare to - say - 100,000 hours at a "normal" 10-40 C°/30-50% humidity?
I’ll take the author’s word for it, I still just use Google maps on my phone. Obviously it sucks that Google jacked up their prices, but I’m kinda thinking they did that because their mapping solution is the best. That makes sense to me even if, agin, I don’t necessarily like it.
That was funny. But there would still remain cases where quantum computers would give a speedup. For example, Grover's algorithm speeds up the search through unordered list from O(N) to O(√N).
Meetup’s been doing a good job at this for some time. I’ve made friends and I’ve known people who have made lifelong friends from it.

CIDER and Projectile are my daily drivers. I've been sponsoring Bozhidar on GitHub Sponsors for a few months now, and couldn't have been happier about the bang for buck I'm getting. If you're benefitting from these packages, or other ones by Bozhidar, please do the same!

In general, if you have some other free/open-source packages that you rely on in your work, I urge you to contribute financially to their development. Software needs manpower to thrive, and manpower needs financial support to be sustainable.

It did, just people are so focused on parenthesis that they loose focus of the remaining parts of Lisp's ideas.

Unless a collectible also provides some emotional or intrinsic (such as gold, which is used in manufacturing) value to the holder, it is essentially a vehicle in a ponzi scheme.

Once the market of interested collectors dries up, the value vanishes. So to play the collectible game on true value-less items, one must time the entrance and the exit to take advantage of other players.

A bit ironic that you say "I'm never sure if I'm infringing copyrights or if I have to add confusing attributions to the artist or platform" and then the website you've created does nothing in order to clear this up. You say "free", but not under what terms or what "free" really means here. In fact, "free" is not even mentioned in any other place than the website <title/>.

As a suggestion, add a specific license to all the work (a Create Commons one or similar) and write out the terms explicitly, even if they are just "Do whatever you want, no warranty included".

Though I strongly believe that if I was single, it would be a very different story and I'd be very bored and restless with all this time. Maybe the relationship is the biggest difference.

Google Maps just isn't very good for hiking. But it's not just a map, it's got the yellow pages, Yelp, and, depending on where you are, various other things like hotel booking and public transport routing thrown in. My recent favorite feature is the live estimation of how crowded a store is, very useful during the pandemic.

Much of this is stuff the software based on OSM isn't even trying, or doing so only very half heartedly, as far as I am aware. On the flipside, OSM is, in many places, peerless in its core competency, a detailed map that everyone can use.
It's derived from Google and Apple's tracking of phone location. They know exactly where your home is, where you work, and with a map can see when you go to a park or a shop.

TiDB: Using Cloud-Native Distributed Database on Kubernetes for Hybrid Cloud
This article implies that forgiveness and mercy are immoral. People have the capability to create evil. Seeing as there is some good around, we must be able to create good as well. As moral creatures who can create good and evil, are we not obligated to create as much good as we can, and extinguish evil where we can? Or should we shrug our shoulders and say, it’s not my fault I am bad, there was evil before me, evil was done to me, and I will embrace it myself.

There are a lot of false dichotomies in the article, especially the idea that it isn’t possible to disincentivize or even punish evil without embodying evil yourself, therefore confusing evil and good. There is too much to write, it seems foolish to even have to explain. Thousands of years of (mostly) successful criminal justice assumed that dispassionate, fair judgment is at least possible.

Most importantly, building on this twisted logic to say that to be wronged makes you immoral (by either unjustly ignoring evil, or through grudge and retaliation becoming evil), is not only hurtful to victims, but justifies a world that forever echoes and amplifies pain and evil. I steal from my enemy because he has done me wrong. I steal from you because my enemy has made me evil. All evil for everyone is justified.

Neumorphism Social Icon Design (Source Code)
Awful style of journalism. It could be summarized by few sentences: some brands cut production since this is not a popular product and one brand was blocked by FDA since it does not pass the US standard.

Since thr author tries to make a story of what is basic journalism he even invents a (racist?) name for his source just to make the article longer. Luigi? Seriously?

Also standards are standards and the mocking tone of article does not help. We dont learn if that iron level is important or not. Author probably didnt bother to contact any nutritionist / doctor.

Also promotion of a brand sounds a bit like a sponsored article.
The difference is choice. One child doesn't have a choice, the other does. Now, which one do you exclude from public life? I'd say the one that did not take necessary steps to protect themselves and others by choice. Personal freedom ends where others freedom begins, it also comes with great responsibility. All these "my freedom" people are simply spoiled, scared egoists in my opinion.

EDIT: In case of children, it is obviously the parents choice. Which goes back to the responsibility part.

Escaping earth's orbit is expensive. Much cheaper in mass/payload/$$$ to simply deorbit and burn up for a lot of low earth orbit satellites. Or even "free" - a lot of these satellite megaconstellations will be brought down by atmospheric drag within a year of running out of fuel:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graveyard_orbit#Disposal_orbit

This also provides some passive decluttering of low earth orbit in case of hardware failures and the like.

Such self destruct programs (or manual commands from a ground station) are common for farther out orbits like geostationary, although they typically just enter a slightly different orbit where they're out of the way and not taking up valuable real estate in particularly useful orbits, instead of escaping earth's gravity or deorbiting completely.
