That's exactly what emoticons were meant to substitute: non-verbal communication. The problem is that some use them as hieroglyphs.
> I've seen this touched on several times across various threads, but if you can compile down to assembly, is there an advantage to use a custom forth as essentially the bytecode to compile down to?

Forth is compact and performant at runtime, and then it's possible to implement it compactly too. This gives the language particular advantages in small and resource constrained environments. (Just a few kilobytes, in fact, are enough.)

To wit:

Adobe Postscript is itself a variant of Forth, that was of course originally designed to run embedded on printers. These printers originally weren't exactly resource constrained, but most of the resources they had available were dedicated to printing the page. (Memory was expensive at the time and, for Postscript, you needed enough to store every pixel on a page before printing.)

PostScript is also notably 'a bytecode to compile down to'. It's a fully Turing complete language (people can and do write it by hand), but it is mostly generated automatically by various drawing and page layout packages.

Another good example of the power of Forth school is the later model HP calculators. HP devveloped a custom language (RPL) that combined the execution model of Forth with a number of features of Lisp. (Note that this does not apply to all of HP's RPN calculators, just the later ones done in RPL.) There's a lot that can be said, but these were small machines with limited RAM and an outsized amount of functionality. It was a good engineering trade off for the time.

Interestingly, the entire software stack for an RPL calculator was done in either machine code or in RPL. The only distinction between "User RPL" and the "System RPL" was whether or not the calculator had user-visible symbolic names for the various entry points. If the calculator knew the name of a symbol, you could enter it and request it be called. If it did not know the name of a given symbol, you needed specific development tools that did, and they usually ran externally. The process was also bi-directional - enter a program, and the calculator 'compiled' the text into a binary representation. Edit the program, and the calculator reconstituted the text (in pretty-printed form) based on the binary representation. It made programs nicely editable without having to carry around all the source text in addition to the runtime representation. All very cool and efficient.

Tilting here means getting the carriage to lean into the turn so it's both more comfortable and faster.

The article is a little confusing because it never actually shows a diagram of a tilted train. That second picture is for the normal case where centrifugal force and normal suspension makes the carriage lean away from the turn, which means the center of gravity and the resultant force move out making the whole thing less stable.

If they simply stuck with supporting those for legacy reasons, then things would have been fine. But no line in the sand was drawn.

IMHO there should be a moratorium for (say) five years to let things settle, and see new ones are actually needed, or if it's just inertia driving recent additions.

You and the parent are mistaken about the cause of Python’s performance problems. Python isn’t slow because it’s readable—it could be quite a lot faster without compromising readability. Python is slow because it exposes the entire CPython interpreter as the C-extension API, which means they can’t change much about the interpreter without breaking compatibility with some extensions (and they are unwilling to do so). Since performance is so bad, the community leans hard on C-extensions, which worsens the problem.

I suspect one of the reasons packaging is so bad is because for each node on the dependency tree, you need to download and execute setup.py in order to discover the node’s direct dependencies, and to get the transitive dependencies you must download and execute the direct dependencies’ setup.py filles. Since these files aren’t idempotent, we can’t reliably cache the results (these scripts could return different sets of dependencies based on the environment or even the current time or anything else). This at least seems to be the reason all reproducible package managers are slow (by which I mean 30+ minutes to resolve dependency versions for a small non-toy project even if the resolved dependencies at their property versions are already cache to disk).

Lisp and Python have different semantics, even between Python and Hy: an obvious one is that Lisp's `if` and all other statements are expressions. Coming up with a syntax is not the hard part.

A couple gotchas that basically all Lisps-on-other-languages have to keep in mind are: variables, since Lisps usually don't have the same scopes as anything imperative (with the ‘let’ blocks); and function names and possibly functions-as-variables, since Lisps are liberal with both. As a rule, you'd have to implement your own variable scopes and name mangling for where the semantics don't match. Plus macros are an obvious addition—IIRC Hy still has them in separate files (though I might confuse that with Fennel). And if you wish to have keywords as a separate type, that's usually entirely on you—afaik Clojure went full-in here, others not so much.

> reading unfamiliar syntax often seems to be a sticking point for people considering/learning a new language

Precisely the opposite of my and many other people's experience. Remembering whether blocks are delimited with braces, indentation or e.g. ‘then/end’ is a no-brainer. Learning the subtle differences in semantics, the type system, the library, package system and build environments—that's the bitch.

Consider that there are dozens of even kinda-popular Lisps, despite them not having much syntax in the first place. They don't just differ in the function names.

You seem to be imagining a ‘universal-ish intermediate language’, so to say, that would permit people with different experience to quickly adapt to an environment of a different language. Not possible, because a) semantics is where the difference is, you'd need a full-blown language translator, which still can be lossy or incomplete (e.g. no types in your standard Lisp); b) one would still have to deal with all the non-language parts of the environment, like the library, packages, the build system.

this is more or less what Hungary does: you get a lot of stuff for making kids, e.g. you get 10M HUF (~$35k) if you make a third child, and 3MHUF (~$9k) to buy a car.

But it does not seem to have (yet) significantly impacted population decline for now.

I could see it as possible. The spread is asymmetric. You could have one infected person who is not a super spreader only infect a few other people who just happen to be asymptomatic and not spread it to others. When your overall infected population is very small, like in the beginning of a jump from animals to humans, then you have a chance to get lucky in this way. Once you get to a larger infected population (like dozens of people) then you're more likely to have a super spreader and less likely to get lucky with only contacting asymptomatic people.
I think if you ask a lot of the people who were advocating for things like the DEI committee, the reason they were doing those things is because their lack of comfort with certain things (the name list is an example, but I'm sure there's others) made it more difficult to focus on work. They weren't looking to just argue about unrelated political topics.

If you came across a list that contained names that were being laughed at because of their ethnicity, and you shared that ethnicity, would you feel comfortable working with the people making those jokes?
I don't think that's a foregone conclusion. It largely comes down to your decision-making principles.

> they don’t have the technical capability to fix it

This is a key point. Many school administrators just pick tools to use and don't bother understanding them and do not have the technical staff to setup and maintain them properly.

We all work in tech related fields, I assume, so think about the most sought after positions, have those ever been at a university IT department or K-12? Probably not.

There was a thread a couple weeks ago on here where it was joked (kinda half serious) that a school IT department is where you can go and just "coast" with great work/life balance.
I've thought long and hard about this, and I've concluded there's no difference in the nature of quarks, particles, atoms, molecules, complex molecules (like protein and DNA), cells, multicell organisms, ecosystems and societies, and so on. It's the same set of phenomena repeating at higher and higher scale.

The particles we see are in constant flux of a number of their parameters, and we can see how environmental changes disturb this balance. Aggregate states of matter represent this very neatly. Just like flocks of birds fly together to protect themselves form harsh phenomena, gas condenses into liquids when temperature drops enough that standalone gas molecules become unstable. It's a long topic, and I'm kind of brushing over it superficially.

Particles may reproduce themselves in even more literal sense than you describe, because we've some evidence to believe no particle truly "exists" in time, it's a phenomena that keeps recreating itself through interaction of lower level parts and forces, much like we're in constant air/food/water exchange with our environment. Our cells change, but seemingly we stay. Is an electron really the "same electron" from one moment to the next, or is it more like a swirl in a constantly moving river water?
From what I’ve seen, the skin tone feature sees lots of use (particularly in some minority communities), which to me is a good indication that this is something that people wanted.
Because it "erases Blackness and centers whiteness as a default", that's the standard answer.

Yellow codes for the default, which is whiteness. Or said another way, white skin is the only unracialized skin color. Thus the supposedly neutral yellow stands for it.
You need to understand "AI winter" as referring to Academic and (to a lesser extent) private funding of AI research, specifically academic AI research. It goes through these booms of optimism "We'll have self-driving cars in 5 years! Here's a hundred million" and then pessimism "It's been 15 years and all we have is driver assist features, we're going to fund grants in more practical areas now" - the pessimism is followed by a drying up of research funds for AI, even though there is not a drying up of research in general. This winter is very real if you are trying to get a job in AI research, even thought it's impact is quite limited as most CS research is not and has never been AI focused. I would say that CS in general is a very fad-driven field so this phenomenom is to be expected.

It is of course possible I missed a story but before January 3rd there was little to no mainstream news coverage. It is quite frustrating to find accurate articles now as many sites are falsely returned in date range Google searches. All "mystery flu-like pneumonia" stories I've found reported in December 2019 are medical news so it is extremely unlikely someone would come across such an article as part of normal news reading.
