Perhaps 'relevant' is a better word. Classical city states provided models to democratic movements of the 18th and 19th century. Cicero's example and writings were studied carefully, just to name one of many. [1] They obviously weren't the only sources; the English and Americans in particular offered a wealth of homegrown innovations for study.

You could not name a single use case in the whole discussion. So there is none. That statement is correct until proven otherwise. The burden of proof lies with you.

Almost every entity has oversight measures implemented to safeguard it from criminal negligence.

The laws in the Netherlands need to be updated to ensure that data hosting centres and their owners can't get away with criminal negligence.

And to everyone complaining about this with a "but my free speech" excuse - there are extensive legal procedures which ensure that allegations of criminal negligence are conducted openly and fairly.

How the Netherlands managed to avoid creating criminal negligence laws for these scenarios is beyond me.

If the laws did exist, they would require data centres to be aware of the content which is hosted and promptly remove clients if the law is violated. No, this isn't "snooping" or an infringement on your "free speech" - in fact, these measures ensure that free speech flourishes while removing the illegal garbage.

Now, once again, is the rebuttal of "but the government uses laws to unfairly censor people" - so then are you all for not having any laws? We have laws, they work - even though governments have abused them. But the answer is not to stop having laws.

One of the more depressing books I've read recently was by an economist who made the case (fairly convincingly) that a society with a broad middle class is not the natural state of things, and while societies have inertia industrial ones trend towards the sort of rich/poor gap seen in the industrial revolution, absent large-scale government intervention in the market.

The book didn't particularly explore this, but the political implications of that thesis if correct seemed bleak. Getting the government to do anything effectively is an unreliable process, but, aside from enjoying a lower standard of living, the pre-WWII countries weren't politically stable (and that was when peoples' expectations were much lower).

Taxation being theft seems to mostly be a question of how you define theft (does it include legality, process, etc) but there are obvious parallels in any case. Although I suppose private property (beyond what one can defend themselves) also exists by state force.

Didn't downvote you BTW.
Most of modern Japan's neighbourhoods were built after the war. Tokyo grew from some 4 million people left in the ruins to 12 million in 1980. Tokyo especially, but really the whole country, is even more walking and transit friendly than many of the commonly mentioned places in Western Europe.

I think part of it was just a cultural preference, perhaps due to the communal nature of Japanese society. Another part of it was to avoid having to import oil, and to not waste wealth on cars. Gas, and vehicles, were taxed heavily, and still are.
A few dollars times tens of millions of cars.

Yea, I get it—-sleep is important.

I saw a guy get a ticket for sleeping in a public park the other day. I don’t know if he was homeless.

I started thinking where could I could legally take a nap if tired. I live in one of the wealthiest liberal enclave (Marin County). Home of Gavin Neusome, and important stuff like taking a nap is against the law for all practical purposes.

Yea—technically I could hike to BLM land? For myself I would be a 60 mile hike. And even then there’s a fee to get into the park, and there is no camping?

Personally, I’ve given up on a good nights rest. I can go to sleep, but wake up 3-4 hours later. This has been going on for 20 plus years. I do take naps during the day though. If I had a do over I might have moved to a country that encourages siestas?

(I know I’m not adding anything to this study. I’m just angry over the way we have made everything essentially against some law. And I’m venting?)

Private companies don't have to be corporations at all. If investors don't like the "double-taxation" problem, then drop the incorporation and use a different entity. Of course, they would loose the benefits of incorporation (i.e. limited liability) -- clearly many investors find that benefit worth the tax cost.
Now people are getting worried Python may become like Perl :).

With all due respect to your (otherwise perfectly valid) argument, "there's more than one way to do it" was never a real problem with people using Perl. I dare say it's fully possible to write difficult-to-read code in any language.

Perl was expressly never interested in erecting glass walls and force people this or that way. Not saying that this is good or bad. But it's the way the people who are making Perl want it.
It is interesting to me. I think the first time I stumbled upon this when I realized that Martin Indyk is not automatically a Polish last name ( despite Martin's family having immigrated from Poland ). Indik is very much Yiddish. And when you think of it, it should not be a surprise, Poland used to have a vibrant Jewish community before the war.
No setup involving "oh, it's literally just worse Virtualbox" was ever going to be optimal for me, not when I could just use a Mac and do everything I care to do on that machine without putting up with a lot of nonsense to marshal between two very different and not all that compatible operating systems and filesystems. As I said in the comment to which you replied, I've done lots of that with Linux in Virtualbox on Windows. I know how to do it just fine. It was wanting to do it that I lacked. And, happily, I didn't have to! I could do something else instead. So something else is what I did.

I'm glad you have something that works for you! I'm glad I have something that works for me, too.

Wouldn't this fall down as soon as someone enters your details with the wrong casing or uses a +country code rather than a localised phone number and so on?

Humans will error and enter data incorrectly so the hash would be different every time potentially despite being "correct" to a human at a glance?

You could standardise everything (lowercase etc) but I imagine there are country and regional edge cases such as capitalisation having meaning in a given language (I can imagine it being a thing but I don't know it for sure)
Filenames with spaces only introduce complexity because bash was poorly designed. If you could treat strings with spaces the same as strings without spaces — as you can pretty much everywhere but the shell — then there wouldn’t be any additional complexity at all.

"She hoped to make the money back. The answer came in a Christmas request from her grandchildren: “Hatchimals,” a popular interactive toy that arrived in an egg and “hatched” when rubbed. Five minutes of research convinced her that they were Generation Alpha’s answer to Cabbage Patch Kids. The retail price was $59.99, but high demand and low supply caused substantial markups online. In a four-day bidding frenzy, she bought 156 Hatchimal listings on eBay with an average price of $151, spending $23,595.31 in total. “Either I have big balls or no brains,” she emailed at the time, “or perhaps the two go together.” "

So, my language is basically a DSL for Java in many regards. I basically translate Adama code to Java, and then build on the fly.

A comparable framework for some of the workloads I envision would be https://akka.io/docs/ , but then you have to live within the framework or bad things happen. My idea with the language is that I eliminate all the bad things and keep thing simple.

Where I've scratched my head on this problem with existing solutions is that you need a lot of things to align. For instance, making it possible to coordinate players easy requires having a language support async/await semantics. This lets the server coordinate you playing a card which another player can interfere with, and another player could interfere with that.

The challenge with async/await in modern languages is what do you do with the process if the future takes... hours to return? How do you handle upgrades? operations in the cloud of cattle? This is where I started to re-invent a logger for board games, but then you must treat all your game code as deterministic. If you don't, then you are in for a surprise as the server replays the log. Instead of trusting myself, I'm forging the standard library such that everything is deterministic.

The final component that gives me confidence in needing a language is the reactivity. My language is basically a text-based Excel engine with tables, objects, and global values. This means that when a player makes a move, I simply need to manipulate the state appropriately and then everything bound to that state gets computed on the fly as needed. The state also is annotated with privacy controls such that important information doesn't leak between players, and this is something that is really hard outside of a language context.

All in all, I don't really need a language to ship a single game, but if I want a platform to enable anyone to build a board game, then I need to make it accommodating.
You've already reproduced so you've already struck your blow and it's too late to take it back now.
It actually is pretty easy to predict the future, in a limited sense, a decade out: the cost of new technologies generally follows an exponentially declining “learning” curve. This has been extremely well studied in the case of the aircraft and semiconductor industries, and is the subject of hundreds/thousands of articles. Of course, some conditions must be met—hence the articles—like plentiful inputs, lack of monopoly power, and government (dis)incentives, but we’d see evidence of these constraining battery tech by now.

The input variable is the cumulative number of units, and of course we can’t be exact about the trajectory of that number, but we can infer from X MWh manufactured -> $/MWh.
Agreed. I got this book when I started to suffer from insomnia, hoping I could learn something useful about how to cure it or cope with it. The book merely scared me.
At first "mathy" objects seem not so important, but it also involves:

- Vectors, matrices

- Immutable containers (lists, sets, maps, etc.)

- Domain specific languages (regular expressions, constraint languages, etc.)

And without good support for matrices, the data science and ML people will just use Python instead of Java to build their libraries. And then everyone will use the language with the best libraries, even if they don't use matrix math in their code.

For regular expressions, you have to use a DSL embedded in Strings in Java instead of using operators like | as operator on regular expressions directly.

You're assuming that fighting one has no relation to fighting the other. Often the way breakthroughs are made here is in the disco very of networks and the roles of key players in the networks. In some cases, CP is shared by trading, with higher value placed on "new" material, which directly creates an incentive to produce CP not just distribute.

> Either everyone involved with language design has never heard of Lisp or there are inherent tradeoffs with "everything that can possibly be an expression should be" that you are either ignoring or wilfully ignorant of in order to score internet points.

Entirely seriously, what are the trade-offs? I've heard general defences of it, for example nchammas's quote from van Rossum in a sister post to yours, but they all seem quite general—"it'll complicate things", but in a way that seems only to boil down to "it's unfamiliar and I don't like it." Which, to be fair, is van Rossum's prerogative to say—but it doesn't seem persuasive in light of general language design.

I live in Chile so I know a thing or two about mining. 20% of fiscal income stems from copper exports and the majority of that from the state owned mining company Codelco.

There are many mining operations of foreign companies which don't generate nearly as much fiscal income so putting mining under state control is completely understandable. This is exactly how we and oil countries got rich. We destroy the environment so at least we should be compensated instead of exporting profits as well.

A US-backed coup against Bolivia makes no sense, Chile is a muppet and does whatever the US needs done. There is no need to intervene in Bolivia if you can just ask Chile to expand lithium mining and we will happily do it.

I have seen the lithium mining sites in Chile, compared to copper it is clean. The mining operations are still small in comparison to copper and investment is slow.
Well, if something runs only at night and on windy days, that means it runs at night, regardless of whether there is wind, and that it runs on windy days—which might mean "24-hour periods that have a lot of wind", thus also including the night, or "non-night periods that have a lot of wind", due to the semantic ambiguity of the English word "day". In this case, though, the ambiguity doesn't matter; it comes to the same thing. But the meaning is different from your intended meaning.

A different way of stating the meaning of "only at night and on windy days" is "always, except in the daytime when it isn't windy". But of course the daytime when it isn't windy is precisely when it's actually possible to run solar-powered trains without batteries, at least if you run overhead powerlines or a third rail down the whole train track.

What you meant was "trains run at night only on windy days", which could also be validly phrased (at the cost of some ambiguity) as "trains only run at night on windy days". But the extra "and" that you inserted in the middle of the phrase made it impossible to read the phrase as having your intended meaning. Perhaps you hadn't noticed the extra "and" when I quoted it in my earlier comment above, accounting for your confusion. Or perhaps you just don't speak English very well. Which is okay! I'm a second-language speaker too, and it's hard at times! But it's not a valid reason to accuse people of willfully misinterpreting you.

> Deleted.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I "deleted my account" in the run-up to the 2016 election, because I could see how social media was being manipulated, and what it is doing to society. And I mean I _deleted_ it. I took the extra steps of researching how to REALLY delete it; not just suspend it.

A couple years later, I needed to get a new account to help admin a page. You can guess where this is going. I tried my usual email -- since it should be free, and it was deleted, right? And... what do you know? Everything was still there. All my posts. All my connections. Everything.

Facebook never deletes anything.

Guzey's appendix addresses it directly: Between late 2010/early 2011 and August/September 2015 [1 (a), 2 (a), 3 (a), 4 (a)], CDC had a page on its site titled “Insufficient Sleep Is a Public Health Epidemic”. More than 2 years before Why We Sleep was published, the page changed the word “epidemic” to “problem”, so that its title became “Insufficient Sleep Is a Public Health Problem”. https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/#possible-origin-of-the...

Not to take any sides, but I also did some digging and found confirmation for this particular claim from the blog post.

It was written December 19, 2019. The link was most likely not dead then. It was archived in July 2019 and does point to what is claimed (consistent with the screenshot): http://web.archive.org/web/20190712132614/https://www.accqsl...

The PDF seems to be a snapshot of the CDC site from 2014: http://web.archive.org/web/20141031142147/http://www.cdc.gov...

So this much checks out.
I had a purely practical issue with "Why we sleep". The book says multiple times that you cannot run a sleep deficit and then make it up later. So what should I do if I have run a deficit? If the deficit reduces cognitive function, and I can't make it up with more sleep, does it follow that for every short nights sleep I will have a permanent reduction in cognitive function? If I turn my alarm off and let my body decide it makes me sleep for longer after a deficit, is my body wasting its time?

It doesn't feel like this can be 100% true
I don't understand how you're so ok with attempting to discredit a decades worth of operations and real evidence in favour of a link that doesn't even prove what you claim.
> Taxation is theft, coerced by the threat of violence.

s/theft/the price paid for civil society

The "taxation is theft" view is the narrowest sort of tunnel vision:

- Monetarist Milton Friedman is worshiped by many libertarians — but it was recently said that Friedman celebrated drivers while taking roads for granted [0].

- Now-senator Elizabeth Warren summed it up nicely in her famous 2011 living-room campaign talk [1]. Transcript: "There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there — good for you. But I want to be clear: You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did. Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea — God bless; keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along. [Applause]"
