Yeah, the automatic currying looks very nice. I was wondering how that works with optional arguments or rest arguments. At first glance I didn't see anything about that in the tutorial. It seems to me as a layman that auto-currying can only work with fixed arity functions, but I'm curious if that's indeed the case.

Edit: I scanned the docs too quickly. It's answered there:

> Unlike many Lisps, TL functions always expect a fixed number of arguments. For example, the + function shown above expects to receive 2 arguments and if it receives too many then and error occurs:
One summer I played Gauntlet Legends in the local arcade, I basically maxed out all of my characters, I probably had $200 into it.

One day the game crashed, and the repair guy stuck a new hard drive in the game, and I lost all my characters. :(

(FWIW I’d love to be wrong, so please share any optimism.)
>But unlike the British colonial empire, the American sphere of influence is mostly comprised of sovereign countries whose governments might object to foreign-controlled guerillas operating in their territory primarily to protect American interests.

I think their use of "foreigners" there just refers to non-British, as both of their examples largely used locals for that role. Countries are often quite willing to allow US officers in train and assist their army.
So your advice is basically to never patronize restaurants? Seems like an awful overreaction to something that almost never happens?
Both parties are beholden to the wishes of corporations over natural persons. About 5% of the Democrats holding national office don’t fall into this category, but they’re so few in number they can be ignored when making a statement about the party as a whole.
It is arguably quite ideological to insist that a large monopolistic bureaucracy, or a conglomeration of them - e.g. the EU - will be efficient in allocating vast amounts of resources when basic game and microeconomic theory suggests otherwise.

Still, an argument for state subsidies, despite some inevitable degree of inefficiency, can be made.

You are so right about parents being easily judged according with some high standards. Or it might be just me the one who when saw the title of this article I was thinking: "Great, another article which will show me how bad I am at parenting"

When my child was born I did an extensive research about what kind of books should I read which are baked by science and will teach me how to be a good parent and I read most of these books.

Then I found that - at least for me - it is very hard to apply what they are suggesting. Then I started to feel bad that I am not doing enough. I even paid time to talk with a paediatric psychologist to make sure that I was understanding the science of child development in the right way. And after a couple of sessions which were mostly going like this: I was going with a list of studies I read and questions I had about how to apply them and she explaining the big picture and where does fit or not. Until one day when she asked: "Did you watched your child? What does he want? What does he enjoy? Is he ready for this?"

And then (months later) I realised that by trying to apply all this things I was not myself and in the same time I was actually not paying attention to the child's own needs. I put a lot of stress to myself to the edge of burnout by reading and thinking all the time about this good parenting stuff. He is a full person which his own desires and forming his personality. Does not matter what I want him to be. I should offer the best that I can but in the direction that he wants to explore.

Now we go for a bike ride. Or play outside. Or read. Or do a paper rocket. Sometimes I help him dress, sometimes he wants to do it himself. But I don't have a plan of how the day will be. I still struggle with questions about my parenting style. But I try to be more aware of his personality.

yea right now we are simply incentivizing going after unregulated space as aggressively as possible before laws are written for them. writing regulation after the deed is done tackles symptoms while fueling root cause.

Downpour.com, Libro.fm, and Audiobooksnow.com are my go-to's (the last of these has a tiny handful of DRM'd titles, so check for a "Downloadable" symbol). Each of these has subscription memberships which you should take advantage of; you can cancel at any time, so I usually subscribe, buy, and cancel all at once when I want a book.

Google Play audiobooks are also DRM-Free, but tend to be more expensive.

I do also occasionally buy from Audible, when a book isn't available anywhere else. You can strip the DRM with ffmpeg once you know the key for your account. But most audiobooks can be had natively DRM-Free if you shop around a bit.

>Autonomous vehicles will be unleashed in urban environments.

Thankfully, this is never going to happen in the fist place because politicians are smarter than technologists.

>Operation of autonomous vehicles in urban environments without a trained safety will be severely restricted

Again, this is never be allowed in the first place. It will remain restricted. European, Asian and African countries will make more use of autonomous public vehicles, in the form of trains, trams and busses, with a driver inside. The U.S. will get there by a different route: car pooling => minivan pooling and gradually up to private buses. This won't happen next year, or maybe not even in the next decade... but that's the future.

That's ironically why we don't see new battery tech materialize. It has to come out of the gate more cost efficient than Li Ion, which is a tall order now with all the efficiencies of scale the latter enjoys. I believe the term technological lock in is used to describe this problem.

Maybe, if the headline matched the content. From the bill:

>A food delivery platform shall not arrange for the delivery of an order from a food facility without first obtaining an agreement with the food facility expressly authorizing the food delivery platform to take orders and deliver meals prepared by the food facility.

I don't see anywhere mentioned about not being able to "list" a restaurant. Just that you cannot actually perform the delivery. Presumably, you could still lie and list a restaurant that you don't deliver for.
Even cooler: defining a function (and block) relies on currying. I think it's just syntax sugar.
Can anyone point to an explanation of how much the 60% Oxford vaccine will help things, both in the old case and in light of the new variant? I have approximately 0% intuition for how much a 60% vaccine helps.

> the original authors and audiences were not dusty elbow-patched-tweed college professors. This was raucous and rowdy stuff, more akin to a dumb action movie than philosophy.

Where can I find out more about that depiction of Beowulf? The post linked above, by the author of the new translation, quotes JRR Tolkien (possibly the leading scholar of Old English in the 20th century) saying,

“If you wish to translate, not re-write, Beowulf,” J.R.R. Tolkien wrote in 1940, “your language must be literary and traditional: not because it is now a long while since the poem was made, or because it speaks of things that have since become ancient; but because the diction of Beowulf was poetical, archaic, artificial (if you will), in the day the poem was made.”

I don't begrudge Maria Dahvana Headley doing her own interpretation of the story, but that doesn't change the original.
In the US, we decided not to train up more people to help. In fact, over 1,000,000 doctors have been laid off or stopped working during the pandemic.

The time to build up our response capacity was this summer. We spent trillions of dollars to buy time, but didn’t spend a comparably small amount of money to actually prepare for this winter.

In short, it’s too late. Current shortages of health care were completely predictable and avoidable.
If I buy something from you for $10 and then sell it to someone else for $15, I haven't taken anything away from you. You have your price and I have mine.
This is fair point but what stops these businesses from refusing to do food pick up. Especially, if they know food won't taste good if not consumed within a few minutes. I rather resturants remove to-go option instead of blaming delivery companies.
Neat! Your example of closing all Stack Overflow tabs reminds me of a little extension I made a while ago to manage tabs by domain:

Will there be a "next DD"? It seems that they were hard pressed to make money despite the pandemic. Who wants to pick up the baton and continue losing money?
Remember wandering up to the Zynga booth at LeWeb years ago - perhaps 2010 - and asking them if employees at Zynga ever wondered if what the were doing might be evil or if the games were actually any good. It was unfair as the booth was actually manned by people from Dextrose AG who Zynga had just bought.

To cap it off I made them watch this FarmVille parody which they were awkwardly amused by https://youtu.be/odBDAcOEKuI

In retrospect I was being a righteous prick but I couldn’t stand Zynga - their games or their addiction based business model.
Disengenous is correct and the media blows their credibility yet again every time they attempt to politicize this.

I read this and thought: oh, another article where the author attempts to say people that don't wholeheartedly trust the mainstream media and their fact checkers are overly emotional conspiracy theorists. This has continued to backfire spectacularly and push their audience away from them and will continue to do so. People aren't stupid.

The only thing missing (thanks to Big Tech censorship) is a strong independent media using actual journalism to deliver information instead of clearly biased reporting.

People have been saying since early 2020 that this winter was going to be the absolute worst of it (based on historical experience with e.g. the 1918 flu pandemic), and they were right. They didn't anticipate how quickly we'd develop a vaccine, but they also didn't anticipate such a more contagious variant. And the vaccine unfortunately won't roll out fast enough this winter to really put a damper on it.

I fear that by February most cities will be going through what we here in NYC faced last April.
Based on an IFR of 0.44, around 17 million already have contracted Covid. 9 million will not get us to full herd immunity, however, will reduce super spreading events (as super spreaders will already have had the disease)
Acutely aware of the multiplier effect of this on access and research but are there any possible downsides? Could this cut funding for journals or perhaps create a flood of submissions to top-tier journals? Is there any reason why this might have negative externalities?
I don't read that at all

The paragraph referring to president:

"Yemen has been devastated by a conflict that escalated in 2015, when a Saudi-led coalition of Arab states launched a military operation to defeat the Houthis and restore President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi's rule. "

> Yemen has been devastated

Objectively true

> by a conflict

There are many reasons but the conflict certainly hasn't helped

> when a Saudi-led coalition of Arab states launched a military operation

Is this wrong? There's a wikipedia page on it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabian-led_intervention...

> to defeat the Houthis

"the intervention initially consisted of a bombing campaign on Houthi rebels"

> and restore President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi's rule.

Looks like he has declared President of Yemen in 2012. There are many ruthless rulers who are called "President". "President Putin", "President Mugabe", etc

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

Was this not the aim of the Saudi led coalition?

The next paragraph, which is under the "analysis" part

> Yemen's newly formed "unity cabinet" was always going to have a rocky start. But it clearly did not anticipate this disaster when it announced its arrival would be livestreamed on television.

Is the new government that has been created known as a unity government? Seems yes, the piece further explains

"Mr Saeed's new cabinet was formed in an effort to heal a long-running rift between Saudi-backed government forces and militias loyal to the separatist Southern Transitional Council, supported by the United Arab Emirates.

The two sides are supposed to be allies in the civil war against the Houthi movement, which controls the capital Sanaa and much of north-western Yemen."

Explaining the name "unity cabinet", it seems to be an effort to unify the non-houti sides.

You may not think it's a legitimate government, but it seems to be the one recognised by the international community, whether we like it or not. We recognise all sorts of nasty governments, from Venezuala to North Korea, from Russia to Turkey. I don't see any judgement on which side is "good" or "bad" (or "bad" and "worse" as it may be).

To summarise

Who -- Houti Rebels

What -- attacked an airport

When -- Yesterday

Where -- Aden Airport

Why -- because they are fighting against the internationally recognised government

The BBC has covered the conflict in Yemen a fair amount, here's a story about the background of the rebels.

We’re at a point with this pandemic that those who will purchase with delivery platform have likely developed some form of affinity towards a preferred vendor or two.

A bigger issue is that few restaurants will survive through the extended statewide shutdowns. Delivery is meant to be a small route of generating revenue, rather than the sole revenue stream. The overhead costs of a retail storefront and operations will destroy most restaurants, if it hasn’t already.

Separately, these delivery apps and services are terrible, unprofitable businesses. None of the platforms have turned a profit despite the once in a lifetime opportunity with all customers being locked inside... all these platforms are optimized to run on VC money as they are garbage ventures that cannot make money. The IPOs are rushed to give VC money a way out of the ticking timebomb.

Honestly this framing just makes me wonder about what the impacts of three gorges dam has then, or it's risks.

It's more complicated than just finding balance vs. impact on dam power level, it's the other things introduced by human population that isn't aware or engaged with the local ecology.

You do know that nearly everyone expects Biden to die shortly, leaving us with President Harris, the most left-leaning Senator in American history. Now, Mrs. Harris also likes to put poor people in prison for marijuana charges, so "left-leaning" isn't saying _too_ much, but by American standards...

The herd immunity thing is still a pipe dream. No one has mentioned or even hinted at it being less lethal so I'm not sure why that would even enter the discussion.
Yup. Basically all enterprise software is just state machine design. Any simple RESTFUL app with a database is just a state machine. Call one end point to create a resource, fetch it later from a second. Calling them out of order yields an error state. Super simple state machine. Of course we've reinvented this wheel so many times.

Something like LISP is fun because you can get both the executable and (human AND machine) readable representations of a state machine out of the exact same source code. Thats still the future of programming.
Which means that the creator of the ticket does not understand the value of the ticket and is just forced to do it by process and so does the minimum required for Jira and his other tools to let him work.

Github issues are basically what a Jira ticket is. Just with less of the other stuff around it feature wise that Jira has. How your company uses Jira is not what makes Jira good or bad. Jira can either be used in an appropriate way or it can be customized into a big rigid process machine that we'd all hate. Been there done both. I like being in the Scrum Master/team lead position to try and influence things into a "less process" world. Ultimately I'm probably still 'hated' by the Devs because there's 'too much process and Jira' and the higher ups don't like it either because they don't 'have enough control' (actually illusion thereof).

STM was originally Italo-French; it is a public company these days, whose headquartier is in Switzerland (as a neutral territory I guess), but the major shareholder (which is incorporated in Nederland) is still jointly owned directly by the Italian and French governments, and major production and reasearch sites are still in these countries. So, it is complicated
That would be about the era when people who weren't so keen on hardware upgrades as a solution to their problem were denouncing Emacs for its memory usage, and encouraging people to "stick to" vi if they wanted a performant development system.

Imagine denouncing Emacs for its runtime size today, relative to the bloat that is VS Code or IntelliJ :)
Not necessarily. I don't have access to the actual article itself, so I can't read the section of the article that indicates who funded the work. But several authors do list corporate affiliation (DuPont and Dow), not that that is itself proof of non-public funding.
