This is pretty cool!

The dataflow is not totally clear to me—am I understanding correctly that the parser generator is implemented by a recursive-descent parser implemented in 1400 lines of JS, which then compiles the example grammar in "grammar" into the top-down Forthish code in "grammar_error", which is then used to compile the Algolish code in "input" into the Lispish code in "output", which is then compiled into the BF in "result"?

While this is an inspiring and aesthetically delightful achievement, it's not clear that it helps with the hex0 seeds, because executing the 1400-line recursive-descent parser requires the seed to grow by the size of one JavaScript execution engine; all the existing ones are about four orders of magnitude larger than the live-bootstrap seed. Lacking that, a malicious JS execution engine could inject malicious code into the BF output, in the Karger–Thompson-attack scenario.

I suspect that the initial grammar compilation could be achieved by a cut-down compiler-compiler along the lines of what I'm working on in http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/meta5ix.m5, although Meta5ix itself is not currently bootstrappable from a human-written seed.

Capital gains are not cash income, and to treat them the same is to fundamentally misunderstand money.

This is among the reasons I think, at least for urban areas, breaking up centralized local law enforcement agencies and distributing law enforcement functions to smaller LE units embedded within other relevant agencies would be a sensible abuse-mitigating reform.

> For example, distributed version control systems are often held up as an example of some form of precedent for blockchain-type technologies. But I've never actually seen a truly distributed (in the blockchain sense) deployment of Git. It's technically possible, but it just doesn't seem to happen.

The truth is, git provides only a narrow set of capabilities we use for development. Git being decentralized is insufficient. That is why the world uses github (and to lesser degrees bitbucket & gitlab): they provide the collaborative experience, they provide regulation/control/flow across the distributed systems.

There is ongoing & active work to build many of these social protocols ("Pull requests", code comments, issues, &c) in a distributed fashion, under the ForgeFed[1] project. Popular git workspace applications such as Gitea are working towards implementations.

It's been long overdue, but we're filling in the gaps, to make a distributed git possible & interesting. Historically, one of the few & only successful models of distributed/decentralized development has been the Linux kernel itself, which has stuck to using patches sent by email to coordinate the distributed work. But that status quo will soon be changing, or at least, there will be other options, than github or email.

Brooklyn has 2.6 million residents, a couple of them aren't hipsters.

You're probably thinking of Williamsburg, which the hipsters were priced out of long ago, into Bushwick. Those hipsters are now being priced out to Ridgewood (Queens).

Go into Brownsville and let me know how many hipsters you see.
which resellers? I would have to imagine that anyone buying directly from Sony and marking up their products would catch the ire of the company, but maybe not. MAP and MRP are more about the downward pressure on prices, not upward, so that companies can't come back later and say "I can't sell your product and make a profit because I'm selling it for too cheap."

The discounter largely doesn't care as much because of the sheer volume they were doing. They were selling at near half the price of what brick and mortar shops were selling AND this was during a time where most states were not charging taxes on internet purchases OR on tobacco sales.

Say you have a box of cigars that has an MSRP for $100 a box. Break even price is $50. Discounter sells for $60 and offers free shipping. You go to the local store and buy for $100. Then you get hit with a 30% tobacco tax and a 9% sales tax. So now you're comparing $60 vs $139. Even if they didn't have what you want in stock, they probably would have something else you'd like for a fraction of the cost.

Most mom and pop cigar stores carry about $50-200K worth of inventory at any one time. This discounter was doing mail order business and had about $80-100M worth of inventory.
Well... ok, but you usually still need to weigh and check the balance of the control surfaces after painting to ensure that they aren't going to flutter at less than Vmc (post-paint control surface balancing is often explicitly called out in the maintenance manual).

Painting a plane is one of those times that you often strip everything out anyway, so it's a convenient time to check the weight and balance against the logbook.
It's more like Google Play Services/Linux these days.
Worth noting, because it’s non-obvious but does address some of the concern around npx, that it resolves to any locally available version using standard Node module resolution, then falls back to downloading from NPM. And in the next version it will warn before downloading.

Totally agree, it's a great show that gets a lot of the physics right (not totally but that's ok), but also biology. For example, people living in the belt going to Ganymede to conceive because it has a magnetic field that protects them from harmful radiation is one of those small nice touches.
>Connecticut is dense you say? That's just much parts of Europe.

those parts of Europe, let's not forget, were rather thoroughly flattened to a wet paste about 80 years ago, and were rebuilt with nice, straight, quick rail lines by people who knew how fast trains that weren't built in 1840 could go.
That is quite charitable. Emotionally hollow and manipulative, and jaw-droppingly turgid and stupid dialog. Just a terrible movie.

In my time at Google, I also remember being slightly concerned about Cuil. Cuil was started by some ex-Googlers and had some sophisticated machine learning algorithms to find images to attach at the top of most search results pages. They were well-funded and supposedly had a larger corpus than Google.

Not that well funded. They had about $30m of VC money, ran through it, and shut down suddenly. They also had a terrible crawler, noted for hitting sites over and over at high rates for no useful reason.

I talked to their people. I asked them how they planned to get to profitability, since they didn't run ads. They didn't have an answer to that.

Right now, Neeva, and You are search startups in similar positions. Neeva is operating, and you can get on their wait list. They have a very intrusive questionnaire you have to answer to get in. Rather than tracking what you do on line, they just ask you.

There's a common fallacy here: that a line built from "nowhere, SD" to NYC serves only people from either NYC or "nowhere, SD". But that's never true. It would serve people all along the route, people taking shorter, "more regional" journeys. The fact that nobody actually rides the whole line doesn't matter.

Of course, that still may not be enough to justify such a line, but the fact that nobody travels from one end to the other is not an issue.
They are functional languages. There is difference.
But isn't that where the profession ultimately heads towards? Less manual, more or less inspired coding, instead more dialogue with clients and translating their wishes into a specification which can be turned into code with ever more sophisticated tools?
Sabine Hossenfelder rethinks Superdeterminism and explains in very accessible terms why Superdeterminism should be taken seriously and has been unfairly characterized in the past.

Yep: GNU/Linux is very different from busybox/Linux is still different from Android/Linux, because the userland is (often) more important than the kernel; a user of Debian GNU/Linux has more in common with GNU/kFreeBSD than Android/Linux.
You can play with atomics as much as you want in safe Rust but you can't cause a data race without aliased mutability, which means using UnsafeCell, raw pointer operations or a & to &mut transmute (unsound and UB as long as noalias is enabled in LLVM), and all require unsafe.
I take notes with vimwiki (using tags) and then obsidian is the visualization layer (being able to filter and see what notes are related to one another)
You'd think an intrinsically deflationary asset like Bitcoin would move differently in the face of USD inflation. Any explanation for why this might be?
Tether is in fact not a bank, though? It is a service that in theory ports USD to block chains for ease of transaction. The last thing I would want for such a service would be to treat my money like it was a deposit at a non-FDIC insured investment bank.

I like the sentiment. As I get older I find it more interesting to hoard good ideas, which often requires keeping up with multiple ecosystems at once, as each ecosystem has a different set of aesthetics.

For example, a few years ago, I was a big fan of how C# was dealing with persistence via so-called micro-ORMs vs the massive ORMS that most other languages fixated on.

My concern about zig/jai and others, is meta-programming.

Meta-programming can be super powerful and practical, and the current trend of reusing the language itself is clearly better than previous attempt.

But meta-programming in itself is not a novel idea, C macros and C++ templates are past well studied examples, and both produced awful results.

I am not sure they can prevent a new cycle of this nightmare.

> I don't get the love for Interstellar either

I enjoyed some of Interstellar, but disliked the anti-scientificism. When they need to pick planet, probably humanity's last hope, you know there will be two options -- the scientifically sensible option and the "go with your heart" one -- and of course the latter is the right one. When scientists follow the scientific method they end up making a mistake, because science is cold and uncaring but nothing can stop the power of the heart, I guess.

I would really like a scifi movie that showed instances where intuition, common sense and "love" mislead you, and sometimes you just have to follow the more methodical procedure and check your blindspots.

This, along with the idea that you can just "tax his wealth" like it's some kind of liquid holdings, are the two largest misunderstandings I see when talking about someone else's holdings.

Most of this is just what's called "paper gains", which are not actually cash in the bank. So the little cards popping up behind mentioning how this is equivalent to someone's income are somewhat nonsensical. It's not even the same sort of income.

Really, all stuff like this makes me ask is "what point are you trying to make?". Yes, there's people out there who've earned more money, and obviously people with more money tend to accumulate more money, more rapidly than those without.

Is the implicit suggestion that we should appropriate his property and hand it over to the state to spend on whatever the state spends money on? Or that we should hand it over to "the people" (whatever that means)?

To me the only question here is this: Did Jeff Bezos get his holdings legitimately, or illegitimately? If the former, then this isn't anyone's concern how much he makes per unit time. If the latter, then a discussion can be had about righting the illegitimate appropriation.
Well, glad he's coming around. Years back he seemed to stand by the notion that Python wasn't slow, showing a toy example. I remember thinking it was just condescending, whether intentional or not.

I think that fact, that these gains are the result of capital gains and in no real way connected anymore to actual personal contribution, risk-taking or anything else besides already being the wealthiest person alive is exactly the point.

Do we have to do this on every thread about laptops?

Just because you don't care about 4K or retina doesn't mean it's marketing juju. People obviously find value in it.

I use 2k and 4k screens with scaling on, and it makes text and edges very clear and smooth. It reduces my eye strain significantly. Lower res than 2k is very visibly fuzzy.

It's fine if you don't value that, but to act like it's "not practical in any way" is plainly wrong.

There are people in every laptop thread pushing the narrative that anyone who prefers a higher resolution screen is delusional or lying. It's really strange.
The part where he was hanging on to the tether and then let go and flew away seemed pretty bad to me.
How does that work? Presumably people aren't going to do things for him without some reasonable expectation that he will give them money, and in order to maintain that reasonable expectation, he surely has to furnish that money? I'm not trying to challenge you per se, I'm just trying to understand because a lot of economics seems counterintuitive to me.
I'm not sure I always clearly distinguish between the three of them. My "merry" is most certainly not normally the same vowel as "met" (it is a hybrid that vowel sound and some other one). Neither is my "Mary" reliably the same sound as "mate". I think my "marry" normally comes closest to the vowel sound of "mat", but I'm pretty sure it generally is not all the way there. (Although it can be, especially if I am trying to enunciate clearly). Over all I'm pretty sure I have at least two and possibly three disguisable vowels (with Merry and Mary probably the merged ones if it is only two) among pronunciation of all three. If I have three vowel sounds they they are allowed to vary enough that there is overlap between the pronunciations I will produce.

That is the awkward thing with vowel sounds. While linguists specify a matrix of vowel sounds, a lot of people use vowel sounds that land in between them, and the sounds are not just exactly the same every time, but have some level of variation between them.

And of course, thing probably differ with word stress, as vowel sounds often do in English. Not sure how they vary though.
GANs work by feeding back the mistakes and forcing the generator model to improve its cheating. In this case, filtering out titles that are ambiguous would act as an independent filter.
