You are gladly ignoring lots of differences in the diet between Southern Europe and the US. From the size of portions, to the prevalence to HFCS in the American diet, the dramatic difference in consumption of things like olive oil, wine, or beer , the consumption of soft drinks with the main meals of the day, etc. Americans consume signifcantly more Coca Cola than say the Italians, Spaniards or French. Guess what happens then?

> Results. Soft drink consumption increased globally from 9.5 gallons per person per year in 1997 to 11.4 gallons in 2010. A 1% rise in soft drink consumption was associated with an additional 4.8 overweight adults per 100 (adjusted B; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.1, 6.5), 2.3 obese adults per 100 (95% CI = 1.1, 3.5), and 0.3 adults with diabetes per 100 (95% CI = 0.1, 0.8). These findings remained robust in low- and middle-income countries.

Why inflation is not a threat
Right, I should probably have written RDI or DV (or DRI?). Doses improved, but in Germany, I can still find multivitamins marketed specifically at vegetarians and vegans with 10ug of B12 (labeled as 400%) in the supplement aisles of supermarkets.

Even in pharmacies, I have to tell that the supplement may be my only source of B12 and that I know about the dosing. I reduce the frequency when I have other sources like toothpaste. I think it is worth to RTFM for something that is relevant for the rest of my life.

Well, once you get hooked on amphetamines, the addiction actually makes it impossible to do work without taking a dose.

It’s a problem that builds and builds, so don’t be surprised if those people simply have high tolerance to their medication now and are fully dependent.

To your point, speed can help you do Leetcode for sure (it’s speed after all). Is it worth it? Yes, since the money involved is significant. But it is also a drug, and if you get addicted, you will have a life long problem (especially when you need higher and higher dose to get the same effect, and when you’ve forgotten basic discipline and work ethic without the help of the drug). I will not mention the insane side effects around insomnia and paranoia. Dependence will also act as jet fuel to any type of imposter syndrome you have (you will feel vulnerable without it, and question the validity of your success, reality will be a never-ending existential crisis).

But hey, a 40 dollar script could get you a 200k salary, so who is anyone to judge. I just wanted to throw the counter argument out there to the casual uptake of amphetamines.

But I will add(pun?) this, you will be at a disadvantage against those that use this drug to make it in tech (or medical). It’s basically our steroids, and being a clean athlete will be harder.
The usual reason behind being vegeterianism in india is mostly spiritual or family tradition.

Giving up Tamas food (meat, garlic, onion etc.,) is the first set of rules to follow on a spiritual journey.

once a family starts on this path, the behavior permeates to next generation automatically.

even though my family allowed me to eat meat, i started & stopped within a year because of ethical reasons (and not spiritual reasons).

My naive interpretation - The canonical Apache Arrow implementation is written in C++ with multiple language bindings like PyArrow. The Rust bindings for Apache Arrow re-implemented the Arrow specification so it can be used as a pure Rust implementation. Andy Grove [1] built two projects on top of Rust-Arrow: 1. DataFusion, a query engine for Arrow that can optimize SQL-like JOIN and GROUP BY queries, and 2. Ballista, clustered DataFusion-like queries (vs. Dask and Spark). DataFusion was integrated into the Apache Arrow Rust project.

Ritchie Vink has introduced Polars that also builds upon Rust-Arrow. It offers an Eager API that is an alternative to PyArrow and a Lazy API that is a query engine and optimizer like DataFusion. The linked benchmark is focused on JOIN and GROUP BY queries on large datasets executed on a server/workstation-class machine (125 GB memory). This seems like a specialized use case that pushes the limits of a single developer machine and overlaps with the use case for a dedicated column store (like Redshift) or a distributed batch processing system like Spark/MapReduce.

Why Polars over DataFusion? Why Python bindings to Rust-Arrow rather than canonical PyArrow/C++? Is there something wrong with PyArrow?

As somebody that used program on the Amiga, using SAS C: GCC is/was terrible, speed-wise. We're talking 10-20x slowdown. Sounds like ack is on the same level as SAS C, and clang is on the same speed as GCC.

This had NOTHING to do with

> those last 8-10% of features (performance, safety, etc...) have come at an absolutely staggering price

SAS C had better generated code and more features.

It was purely a question of architecture - SAS C was architected for speed, and actively used caches (especially precompiled header files) to avoid re-doing work. GCC didn't, and I've seen no hint of that appearing in GCC since.
I am not saying the following out of malice or bias because I have no vested interest in having any... but my observation on a lot of Asians has been that they'll work extremely hard to project a good image but not do actual good work.

This problem is there even if you have no swap at all, so I don't see different devices or zswap helping.
That doesn't sound right. Most applications of electronic engineering are not safety-critical, unless we count requirements such as avoiding improper use of toxic chemicals, but setting the bar that low would mean just about any physical undertaking counts as safety-critical.

Projects like the Linux kernel, or the HotSpot and LLVM compiler systems, presumably count as engineering. Building a new GPU presumably counts as engineering. These systems aren't intended for safety-critical use, though.

Another example: it still counts as aeronautical engineering even if you're building an unmanned drone that only ever flies in a lab.
I am talking about Haskell, specifically the removal of 'n+k patterns' and 'monad comprehensions'.

About GHC: I think their approach with pragmas is great and something for other languages to emulate. It's also great in production, with the caveat that you might want to restrict that mechanism to surface level changes only, and nothing that changes the intermediate format.

> Maybe but if most vegans are not healthy

It's well documented that vegans, on average, live longer than omnivores (even controlling for exercise level, smoking, etc), and I don't think there's any evidence that vegans are more nutritionally deficient than omnivores - in fact, I think there's evidence for the opposite.[0] Though I agree that we preface diets with "healthy if..." I think the standard western diet is more in need of that prefix.

[0] "Mean intakes of fiber, vitamins A, C, and E, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, calcium, magnesium, and iron were higher for all vegetarians than for all nonvegetarians. Although vegetarian intakes of vitamin E, vitamin A, and magnesium exceeded that of nonvegetarians (8.3 ± 0.3 vs 7.0 ± 0.1 mg; 718 ± 28 vs 603 ± 10 μg; 322 ± 5 vs 281 ± 2 mg), both groups had intakes that were less than desired. The Healthy Eating Index score did not differ for all vegetarians compared to all nonvegetarians (50.5 ± 0.88 vs 50.1 ± 0.33, P = 0.6)." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21616194/

There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

It's a commercial endeavor. Often, it excludes the creator.

Art sure is more valuable once the artist is dead, from a dealers perspective.

If you have to buy a book or go to school to figure it out, you just engaged in commerical / professional art, as a buyer. Back to commercial art we go.

I understand your reasoning with regards to inflation. But what makes you so sure Bitcoin will keep going up?

Yes it has gone up over the last 10 years. But 10 years is a relatively short time, and moreover this was a period during which all assets went up. I don't think one can really extrapolate from that alone that Bitcoin will just keep going up forever.
And how do you explain away the various risks? Governments could theoretically hurt the price if they decided to pass more regulation that made interacting with an exchange harder. Or if they tried to close the exchanges altogether. And we are talking here about worldwide governments. I am not very worried the US would do something like that since they have mostly shown support towards cryptotech. But China or Russia or India or the EU might. And the other big worry is the lack of transparency. The exchanges are hardly as trustworthy as the NASDAQ or the NYSE. One cannot tell what sort of plays they are making to manipulate the price.
And then there's the risk of speculation itself. The price is not determined by anything more fundamental than user sentiment. There is no constant stable demand or anything.
User sentiment can be manipulated (by government regulations for example) or a big scare might happen organically. There is also the risk from competing cryptoassets. And risks from infighting between Bitcoin developers and miners as is happening right now with Ethereum.

Now of course all investments have risks so this alone is not a reason to not put money in Bitcoin. But I just have not yet seen a rigorous examination of all the risks.

A single number sampled after a two-hour period doesn't paint the whole picture.

If you eat a bowl of rice this likely will happen: Your blood sugar spikes, insulin is released. If after a while your blood sugar is still elevated, another dose of insulin is released which can push your blood sugar below baseline and to the point where "hunger" is triggered.

If you eat the caloric equivalent of that in the form of a steak, your blood sugar stays more or less constant.

How exactly this plays out depends on your insulin sensitivity. It may be different for highly insulin sensitive people, but empirically it is true for me and probably for most people, otherwise "sugar crash" wouldn't be a word.

Of course, you probably won't eat just a bowl of rice except for experiment, adding some fat and protein can greatly mitigate the effect.

> The healthiest populations in the world eat a lot of (untefined) carbs so the idea that carbs = fat is simple and appealing but also wrong.

The "healthiest" populations also are outliers in many other respects. I'm not making an argument that a high-fat diet is healthy or unhealthy. I'm saying that fat, protein and carbohydrates are quite different in how they are experienced from a dietary perspective, regardless of caloric equivalence.
Now you're talking about something completely different than what you were talking about initially.

I don't think that you will find my answer satisfactory, but does there have to be an alternative? I think that many syntactic mysteries are mysterious only because syntacticians assume that they work in particular ways. Once you start looking at these problems from the perspective of pragmatics, competing interpretations and conventionalisation, many of these mysteries disappear.

The point to make is that interpretation makes use of multiple sources of information, of which syntax is just one. You don't need an elegant, tight fitting, constrained syntactic structure to use language. Which incidentally is why we can understand things even they are not grammatical. I firmly believe that the issue of "grammaticality" simply boils down to convention. Not to mention that many constructed examples used to motivate formal grammar research (be it syntax or semantics) are borderline acceptable themselves to many native speakers.

My limited understanding is the blockchain data are distributed enough to get past the "that URL" issue. You'd need to destroy "that unknown collection of URLs" to eradicate the NFT.

The problem as I see it is that NFTs lack any potential energy. Their value is purely kinetic, and expressed in the transaction. If no one wants my NFT, it's so much binary noise.
GCC has had precompiled headers for years. They don't really help in C, bceause the time spent parsing headers isn't a significant chunk of runtime in practice. They can be useful in C++, as it's common to include massive amounts of templated code in headers, but they still only buy you 20% at best.
There's also no randomized trial proving that parachutes prevent death during skydiving.

But it stands to reason that not slamming into the ground at terminal velocity is good for your health, and it stands to reason that preventing the spread of a deadly disease saves lives.

Countries that have prevented the spread of the disease (China, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and others) have orders of magnitude fewer deaths, as a proportion of their population.
You are right that the analogy fails in a number of ways.

That's an interesting article, and relevant in the sense that the "magic kernel" can be used for purposes of super-resolution, but Adobe is using a fairly different approach. Instead of using analytically-derived functions Adobe is using a deep learning model trained on a large dataset of Low resolution-High resolution image pairs. The details are propietary, obviously, but it's likely similar to various deep learning superresolution algorithms in the academic literature.

> Result/Either types are fashionable but strictly worse than exceptions, in my view.

Why?

> Really, error types are only a small step above what C uses. That approach was tossed in favour of exceptions for good reasons that the industry now seems to be collectively forgetting, often with poorly reasoned arguments.

Your assertion makes no sense at all. Exceptions were designed with the explicit goal of brushing potentially unrecoverable exceptional errors under the rug. This is by no means the only use for return values. Take, for instance, HTTP requests, and the whole classes of different results that can be returned and how they are completely orthogonal to the data being returned. It would make no sense to handle this usecases with exceptions.

Another thing that it seems you're entirely missing is that using a Result monad to express results allows you to explicitly discretize and define the codomain if your function, and through dimensions that help you reason and thus test about the input and output of any function.

Using monad semantics to handle return types also provides a convenient way to implement what is often referred to as railway-orientrd programming

Can't speak for all languages and usecases, but at least in Scala its primary use (afaik) is to enable the compiler to reason about the correctness of an application (i.e., it knows all the possible subclasses of a class and can tell you if you forgot to handle some case). I think this is also useful in other languages if you have some logic somewhere that depends on knowing all possible subclasses of a class (independent of the compiler generating warnings or not).

Hubble is mainly a set of cameras attached to the telescope, it doesn't have anything comparable to what you linked. Yes, I am aware of all the advantages of ground based astronomy, which just got a huge boom by segmented mirrors basically removing the mirror size limit. The flexibility and costs of ground-based astronomy are superior for anything which can be done well from the ground. I have nowhere suggested to stop or defund ground based astronomy. We need ground based astronomy and space based one. So we need to come up with a replacement of Hubble, thats where my suggestions come from.

And yes, I am aware of the challenges of space-going equipment. But if a system is designed for a life time of rather 5 than 30 years, things become a bit easier. Also, if you look at the camera equipment of Perseverance, a lot of it is off-shelve, only slightly enhanced for its intended purpose.
