> Freedom of speech provides a natural check and balance by letting the best ideas thrive via an open market of ideas, not a large un-elected ministry acceptability.

I agree with what you wrote here, but if you believe this I'm confused why you would take issue with what happened here. This is exactly what has played out. These books were created and published in an open market. Remember, in free markets there is the possibility of failure. That's what you're seeing right here. The publisher of these ideas have determined that they have failed in the market.

So what's the problem? No "large un-elected ministry acceptability" caused this to happen. It was the marketplace that rejected these ideas, and the publisher didn't want to bear the cost of continued publication, which they are free to do. Everyone involved exercised their individual freedoms in the marketplace. The system is working as intended. Where is the failure?

The far left is pretty good at making fun of the right for saying silly things like this, actually.
One should usually not rely on this, unless your language gives guarantees. I don't think even IEEE 754 gives you the guarantee you are implying.

To give you an idea, the C99 standard does not require signed zeros, and if you have them, does not dictate the behavior you are describing. I once worked on a commercial C compiler and we produced a new version that resulted in a change of sign of zero for the exact same computation (and even "worse", would give a different sign on different machines for the same compiler version). We discussed this thoroughly and decided it was OK because our docs made it clear we conform to C99 (which provides no guarantees on signed zero).
And if your wp site is fairly large be prepared to go take a nap while it runs. I just installed this plugin on a larger site and it's still churning 30 minutes in.

On the flip side, we run a custom cms with hugo as the SSG on a much larger site and it builds and deploys in under a minute.

WP has it's uses, but speedy sites are not a focus.

This could be a cool use for lasers. I think we can make pretty compact lasers capable of 1-100 KW.

Or for that matter just add heating elements to the blades. There are lots of ideas that could be borrowed from the airline industry in fact.
Nothing is actively stopping it. In fact a lot of people would strongly appreciate it, maybe even contribute. I would really love to see something like that:

- local-first CMS with a strong emphasis on folders/files
- multiple DVCS integrations (git, mercurial, pijul) with commit signatures (PGP)
- support for forge APIs and email-based workflow to simplify the cooperative PR/MR/patch process
- strong translations support, to see at a glance missing/outdated translations

There's been some work in this area, but netlify is really complex and is not meant to be selfhosted. And in any case these CMS overlays for SSGs end up making their own conventions that SSGs then have to comply with. It would be interesting to see an alternative approach where a CMS-as-a-library can be adapted to support any kind of SSG.

Some complicated stuff to deal with when building a content editor for SSGs:

- internal and relative links don't have the same semantics across SSGs, and don't point to the same place depending on the webroot
- content may contain macros/shortcodes, the local editor needs to be aware of that in order to produce meaningful output
- taxonomies and parenthood relationships also vary greatly from one implementation to another

We are on a serious tangent but I'll make a go at it. At the time a friend of mine felt that it should be a crime for anyone to use the hateful words "illegal alien" but the fine should be small "like $100". His comment which ended the conversation:

"I value language and am thoughtful with my communication. If I can do that why can't others?"

Maybe how I should have responded?: "So you always ask someone's pronouns prior to initiating conversation. You agree to those and should be obliged by law to not error ever?"

Or doing that may have backfired ? Now I am a self-hating Latino and transphobic ? Not a reputation I want and I have no power to change things. So why bother is the natural conclusion.

Where to buy Nvidia RTX 3080: who has stock?
This paper is entirely based on a false assumption:

> We also assume that miners always have space to include all available transactions.

And that's exactly what the block size debate was about 2 years ago (paper is 4 years old). We did realize that it was crucial for Bitcoin to always have demand for block space, exactly for this reason.

If the authors want to contribute to the space, they should revisit that assumption and try again.

Also, the paper has a clear motive:

> Perhaps instead, designers of new cryptocurrencies must resign themselves to the inevitability of monetary inflation and make the block reward permanent.

Instead of suggesting changes that could be made to Bitcoin to reduce the thread of the scenario they describe, they suggest to discard Bitcoin altogether and move to a cryptocurrency with permanent inflation.

The general rule is that a filing is required if three tests are met: *

(1) the transaction affects U.S. commerce;

(2) either

(a) one of the parties has annual sales or total assets of $151.7 million[3] or more (as of 2014: in 2012 this threshold amount began increasing periodically under the law), and the other party has sales or assets of $15.2 million[3] or more (as of 2014: this amount adjusts periodically) (where an acquired person is not engaged in manufacturing, only its total assets, not its sales, are counted, unless its sales are over $151.7 million[3]); or

(b) the amount of stock the acquirer has is valued at $272.8 million or more (as of 2012: amount adjusts periodically) at any time; and

(3) the value of the securities or assets of the other party held by the acquirer after the transaction is $68.2 million or more (as of 2012: amount adjusts periodically).[4] The 2018 rules raise this amount to US$84.4 million [5]

* IANAL, but I worked somewhere that was charged with violating the act and it's any of the three, not all of them.

Yep -- under the hood, "immutability" in Clojure is implemented with data structures that provide pretty good performance by sharing sections of their immutable structure with each other.

For example, if you have a vector of 100 items, and you "mutate" that by adding an item (actually creating a new vector), the language doesn't allocate a new 101-length vector. Instead, we can take advantage of the assumption of immutability to "share structure" between both vectors, and just allocate a new vector with two items (the new item, and a link to the old vector.) The same kind of idea can be used to share structure in associative data structures like hash-maps.

I'm no expert on this, so my explanation is pretty anemic and probably somewhat wrong. If you're curious, the book "Purely Functional Data Structures" [0] covers these concepts in concrete detail.

> they're standardised in most language's implementations in something called IEEE 754

There is the IEEE 754, and there is the language's standard. One should always look at the latter because it's often the case that the language doesn't fully conform to IEEE 754.
If we're still talking about Australia, there is no Family Tax Benefit for a single income provider earning above $104,281. It tapers off as you approach that.

As a general rule the Australian Government make it very difficult for families to have a stay-at-home carer. It's substantially more viable (monetarily speaking) for most families to send their kids to daycare, which is Government supported, and both work.

Crab mentality, also known as crab theory, crabs in a bucket (also barrel, basket, or pot) mentality, or the crab-bucket effect, is a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither can you". The metaphor is derived from a pattern of behavior noted in crabs when they are trapped in a bucket. While any one crab could easily escape, its efforts will be undermined by others, ensuring the group's collective demise.

No. First off net useable energy is constantly decreasing in the universe. Entropy will always increase until all energy available for use in the universe is zero. The universe is not a zero sum game. It is negative and in the end everyone loses.

The earth receives energy from the sun at a limited rate. The limit on the rate and limits on our technology in order to extract this energy functions as a practical limit.

Zero sum games are used colloquially in the context of transactional games. When a resource is limited in this context the game is zero sum. Someone loses during the creation and exchange of an economic product.

The context of increasing technology or resource discovery is separate from this topic and not what people mean when they say the economy is “not zero sum”. People are referring to the transaction and creation of said economic product and the economic actors in the economy at the current point in time. What they mean is a “transaction” in the game where I trade you an extra pizza for your extra shoe results in both of us receiving a net gain. My claim is that this transaction does not result in a net gain because both products are tied to a limited resource whether it be material or energy. You took a piece of the energy pie now someone else has no pie.

Anecdotally, I've been using Clojure professionally for about seven years and only very rarely need to interop with Java. Of course it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. On the other hand, interop with JS from ClojureScript is very common; shadow-cljs has made that experience more inviting.

There is a view that math is "just" symbol manipulation. So I can't say your approach is wrong. Probably whatever works, works.

And you can usefully say things like "x is a number" without saying which particular number x is.

The new Modelica-like usage of ModelingToolkit.jl is really a game changer for acasual DAE system simulation in Julia. It makes composable hierarchical component-based simulation of large and complex system possible with pure Julia.

Based on full featured dynamic simulation capability and machine learning ecosystem (Flux.jl etc), Julia will be a perfect choice for reinforcenment learning research, where simulation and training process can all be implemented in pure Julia with promising performance. It delivers the promise of "solve two language problem" of Julia language.

Critical thinking debunks the debunkers and exposes fake news. And critical thinking is developed in school starting at an early age.
I run a few (well, one published, one in the works, a couple one-offs for student showcases) websites built with Zola. It's a great, little, simple piece of software.

What I like:

* Already supports the tooling I enjoy → SCSS out of the box, django/jade-like template engine (Terra, its sister project), markdown w/ TOML frontmatter
* Fast → build times are almost instant, dev server builds to memory and does live-reload
* Gets out of your way → it doesn't do more than it can, yet provides enough to work
* Builds a search index for client-side searching if needed
* Single Binary → I can pass the executable around with the repo and installation and environments are not an issue (ruby and python are painful for part-time developers it seems, at least with my non-developer academic peers).

I like that it provides a simple base to build on. I have one site that uses webpack to generate bundles for a couple JS files to allow for modern JS (babel) → all I have to use webpack for is JS, Zola handles the rest.

I migrated our Django theme for our previous site in an afternoon. I've found that those I work with often don't really understand how formatting in a CMS will apply in the published result, and often have to go back in and edit their pages for conformance → If I have to touch it anyway, I'd rather do it in markdown myself, something I enjoy using.

I have students/interns who have picked up markdown faster than any other markup or CMS. I've tried mezzanine [^meh] and wagtail [^excellent, but heavy for our brochure-ware] in python, wordpress is a pain [^either too flexible, or not flexible enough, research interns don't easily see how complex theme interactions occur] and some others like cockpit [^neat but flexible to a fault, yet too rigid for how free-form folks want to interact with it]. Markdown is translatable, and usable in other tools: it's a great common denominator with a very low bar for entry. Students continue to use it after first interacting with it on these projects after they've left.

What I'm missing:

* a way to build from an API endpoint instead of markdown, i.e.: point to an endpoint to get the section list, build children as pages. Then I could use content from a postgrest instance, or build it from a list of remote markdown files... (no, I haven't really thought this through very well)

YMMV.
I'll make one (probably unpopular) comment.

On HN every time the subject of language wars or platform wars or browser wars comes up, the idea also comes up that "everything is about the number of users". The self-reinforcing cycle is that the language/platform/browser with the most users also has the most development time put into it, which then attracts more users, etc.

Fine, I don't deny that the phenomenon exists. But I think that it's often overlooked that it's not just about the number of users. It's also about the quality of the users. If we could quantify "an excellent developer", I wouldn't claim that Julia has more of those than Python. But I'm convinced that Julia has more "excellent developers who are also excellent at numerics" than Python. I think the idea that the productivity as function of "developer excellence percentile" is a power-law applies even more strongly in multi-domain expertise situations, like numerical computing. So forget about 100x coders. The contributions of some people like Chris et al are closer to 10_000x as significant as that of an ok contributor.

It's not just about the quantity, it's also about quality.

It was (at least when I looked at this circa 2012, it might have changed since then) largely an artifact of Boeing and Intel: both produced fantastically expensive physical items from factories that were highly sought at by the rest of the world and had amazing profit margins. But were just two companies (vulnerable to management mistakes) and both didn't employ that many people to actually make their stuff. E.g. in 1953 steel alone in the US employed 650,000 people, and now Intel and Boeing combined employ 250,000 people worldwide, the vast majority of whom are engineers/back office types, not actually working on the factory floor.
