Some easy factors:

- crowd maturity (zero dev cared about safety in the web 2 era, cue wordpress cheese, people flocked to php or ruby because it was fun and easy, only later people started to make solid specs for their languages)

- business-less ethos (I'd bet $10 FP dudes have zero desire nor skills to promote and sell their work)

- culture shock (fp is somehow very rooted in math culture, how many times in the last 20 years did someone at a meeting or an OO class said "explictVerboseVariableNamePlease" ? compare that to

fold f z [] = z
fold f z [h:t] = fold f (f z h) t

)

add various degrees of second degree effects like the fact that complex and hard to sell things don't attract funding, unlike wordpress you get less exposure. Maybe for the best because mainstream business interest would surely distort the original paradigm quest to fit whatever money-heavy requirement lands on someone's desk that day
So great. Hypercard 2.0 was great. Hook up a couple of XFCNs, get stuff done.

As the whole system environment grew, the scripting language outgrew the cards, but Apple seemed utterly blind, in contempt of any system that could not be shown as a GUI product. They could not tell a story, so they threw it away.

UserLand Frontier was fantastic.

Turns out, scripting languages that glue GUI bits together is a pretty useful way to go.
>If they aren’t rejected by USPS, they _will_ be rejected by German customs.

No they won't be, I've sent many packages to Germany using these types of "signatures" with zero issues. This in fact how every pre-printed USPS international label looks like (ie: Etsy, Pirate Ship, etc, etc.). Please don't make absolute statements about things you don't have first hand experience with.

Service Recovery Paradox
How would the Fed fulfilling its mandate give anyone a case for recovering their trading losses?
70? My animal is only 33 and is very tired. Writing this as it lays in bed, 3 in the afternoon, because even a standard chair sounds more exhausting to it.

It seems to have no motivation or energy to do much besides lay here.

If I force it, it will get stuff done but at a huge cost. It will yearn the entire time to just lay back down.

It's interest in things seems to be fading quickly. What desire it used to have to work hard and succeed, has slipped away. It seems these days it has only enough energy to lay in bed and scroll through the internet. Not sure what is wrong with my animal, but this is no way for it to live.

I was hard on the animal in its early 20s, but no harder than the average animal. The past 7 years or so have actually been pretty calm, good food, semi regular exercise, stable job, etc.

It's scary to imagine how the animal would feel at 70 if this is how it feels at 33. Maybe the pandemic was a straw to its back, and the isolation has worn it down more than anything else possibly could.
>Price hikes didn’t exactly fix n95 mask demand

I'm not sure about n95s specifically but generally we saw mask prices hike, and then production increased quickly enough that there were masks for the majority of the population within a couple of months.

Teachers (good ones) teach and correct technique in ways that no apps or self study methods will ever be able to do. Unfortunately the most benefit here comes from in-person instruction which is hard right now. But in person, they can see the way you are holding the instrument, they can work directly with your hands, etc.

But yes a skilled teacher is always worth it if you have the money. Apps, subscription services, and so on have a vested interest in keeping paying customers. Therefore they ensure you always feel safe and comfortable. If you feel too challenged, your association with the sefvice will turn negative and you'll stop paying.

But learning an instrument is not comfortable; it's extremely challenging and requires hard work and commitment. It doesn't have to be like bootcamp, and of course it's really fulfilling to watch yourself improve, but there's no hiding how challenging it is, especially if it's your first one. Good teachers know this and have the pedagogy to help you through it in as efficient a manner as possible.

Besides, the good teachers are always in demand so they are usually not too concerned about losing a student here or there because they decided it was too hard for them.
I'd bet that if ocaml had been made the official proglang for all of France it would have died a slow death like ADA. French public sector is a swamp.
Something like 70% of the Russian population say Stalin was a great leader in surveys. Stalin killed by his orders more Russians then World War 2 did, far more people total then the Holocaust.

Russian's in general are pushed towards this idea that they want to be a "great power" on the international stage again, that this will fix their problems - it's certainly how Putin actively thinks. Of course it's never made any sense: Russia is huge. Domestically there's nothing it needs internationally to be a wealthy prosperous nation, and all it's problems are internal.

Hence the chaos: to Russian strategic thinking (that 70% isn't just "the people" its far more concentrated amongst the leadership), one way to be a great power is to knock America and the EU down and chaos suits just fine for achieving that.

USSR won WW2. Without USA, USSR would have beaten both Nazy Germany and Imperial Japan 100%, just perhaps will take 2 years longer and maybe another 10mils dead. USA role at that time was basically to stop the spread of communism (it was a prelude to cold war). It was a race to cover as much ground as possible to avoid western europe fall to USSR. On Pacific front, despite what USA school books narative, Japan didn't surrender to USA because of that 2 nukes. It surrendered because by then, the red army had amassed at least a million soldiers at Manchuria and about to invade Japan. Japan then surrendered to USA as they know what USSR would do from what their lost Manchuria territory showed. USA is a kinder "lord" to submit to. Just imagine there isnt D-Day, USSR would still be able to sweep down and destroy whatever left of Nazi forces without a need a single allied soldiers present. The same is true for Japan. The role of USA in WW2 was to ensure democracy being defended. South Korea, Japan, and Germany today can attest to what USA did back then, not to win WW2 (though that was the objectives), but consequentially to defend western ideal and democracy ala prelude to cold war and Vietnam.

They're trying to tokenize HTML into two arrays, one being an array of opening tags and one of closing tags, with the hope being to pairwise compare and reconcile the elements of these arrays.

The necessary clarification appears further down the page.

As for whether it's a reasonable question; as written I beg to differ, it's the opposite, since it does not convey their problem except by a very careful and nuanced reading. The proper response of the S.O. community should've been to aid the OP in clarifying their intentions and amending the question accordingly to bring focus onto their actual problem.

That is not what happened. Instead they are indeed on the receiving end of some ridicule, which is shameful, but the advice of "use a parser" would still likely have been a top answer in some fashion had the OP's scattered ancillary questions and clarifications been incorporated.

Sadly, only one correspondent of many seems to have seen fit to ask.

You’re conflating concurrency and parallelism. Unless you’re explicitly forking the process, the async all happens in one process.

The dosage maketh the poison. Like any other place, they want to prevent change. So they want to replace the people moving away with new people. Any less and it's a dying village. Any more, and it's gentrification.
I don't think counterfeiter need a website like this to know what to change. They know what to change, they are probably way more expert on the thing they counterfeit than this website. The thing is, they don't need to improve it at all, that's not their market, they try to be cheap, that's their market.
Yes, don't worry guys. The Federal Reserve has got you covered. And if things get too expensive, you can always just ask for a raise, amirite! :)

Anyway, here's a cash crop chart for corn that has more than doubled in price since last year. Once the cost of making finished products with these crops increase, you can be sure that shop prices will also reflect it. Some of these charts are even growing exponentially.

Who except for Amazon is doing this currently? Or are you forecasting a long term trend.
This is a good point, and there is also no finite limit which is what typically makes the supply and demand machine go brrrrrrrr.

Netflix pays some % of their monthly subscription fee for servers. The amount really doesn't matter, and they can add the entire planet as subscribers before running out of servers so the supply is infinite for all practical purposes.
The concept makes sense, but the specifics written here seem oversimplified and are going to mislead people. Realistically, it's not easy to turn a single vending machine or a purchased content website into a largely passive source of (significant) income for most people. Likewise, real estate purchasing is speculation in many cases and you can end up on the wrong side of that like many have in the past, losing everything when they can't rent out a place and they lose their job (like what happened in the last real estate downturn to many folks). Absolutely agree that if you are using debt, use it wisely, but I would have loved to see more specific and nuanced discussion of how to evaluate options for doing so.
The same setting controls both in my experience.
They're going to do both, but doing the former actually works.

We are entering a Post Scarcity Economy. A lot of fiction books write about how this plays out. Regardless of what happens a lot of economic theory becomes less relevant.

I get that people's minds work differently. I don't get why they don't use the tools that are there to help them. They just have to be used.

As an example I get that some people just have to categorize things. That's ok. But why then use these insanely nested bookmark folder trees to try and find stuff and failing? If it doesn't work, try something else.

I didn't figure out the current (as you say very specific) way of doing things overnight. It's a constantly evolving thing. I get that someone might not know for example that some of this is possible and thus can't bring themselves to close tabs for fear of not finding it again. Once you know though how powerful and easy the search is, is there just a psychological barrier some people can just never break through?

Can you provide any insight into that?

Pretty much any sort of artist that has to consistently produce long term could fit this. Examples that come to mind are the writer for Garfield comics, the South Park guys, etc.
A question the 50% figure raises is - what is the reproducibility rate for “real” science? This is difficult to estimate. Considering the dramatic improvements in cancer therapy, one might argue that cancer research is a “real” science, but there are reproducibility issues in that field as well. [https://www.nature.com/news/cancer-reproducibility-project-r...]
And the link to the replication index site connects us to an article about John Iaonnidis, who suggests that most medical research results are wrong. (The article concludes that perhaps only 27% are false discoveries.) So what is the threshold? As others have pointed out, it’s probably more about process than reproducibility, though reproducible results are certainly preferred.
For people that want to understand this better:

“Print” is a misnomer, as only the US Mint prints paper currency and mints metal coins which is a very tiny sliver of the M0 money supply.

So to rephrase what actually happens: “in 2008, the Federal Reserve decided to buy a notional amount of $2 trillion in bonds and debt securities, every time it bought some it created the same amount of new US dollars at the time of transaction which becomes owned by the seller. Increasing the money supply upon payment.”

Its primary mechanism for controlling the money supply and people’s behavior is by purchasing a predetermined amount and category of assets from people. Unless authorized by Congress to do something specific.

Congress does not usually touch the Federal Reserve Act, as the whole point of the Federal Reserve system was to remove politics from management of the money supply. But they obviously can and always could alter the Federal Reserve’s charter and in 2020 they let the Federal Reserve give money directly to individuals in some of the stimulus programs.
Lately this has been on my mind. I do everything, diet, exercise, social interaction, etc. But I am still just tired sometimes, nothing seems to kick. Maybe my mind is telling me that this way of life is down trodden? Find a new path? Working alot has no value, and maybe I am missing out. Or I am just tired, and there is no where to go
I think general intelligence is about your ability to absorb and synthesize information.

Higher intelligence = fast learner + better at joining seemingly unrelated dots.
> Does your regex assumes that "-->" must be prefixed by a space?

Yep, because the quoted regex assumed the same thing, and I didn't see a point in editorializing more than necessary.

> Also the string "--" must not occur inside a comment, so the last clause is not necessary.

"Must not" seems unreliable in webpage parsing. What page does your XHTML parser produce when fed text of the form `<!-- --is this a comment? <a href=-->`, for example?
Well said. The major problem with Wikipedia is that unless a topic is extremely popular, most of the editors interested in working on the topic will have a huge bias toward one particular point of view. They will directly cite advocacy organizations that support their view in the body of the article over neutral sources. Fixing this is basically impossible. "The encyclopedia that anyone can edit" is true in the sense that "anyone can become an editor" which is true in the sense of "anyone can become a millionaire." In reality, reforming a problematic article on Wikipedia would take a major investment into getting an account with the requisite reputation and friends in similar positions of power. Most of us can't be bothered.

The other major problem with Wikipedia is the low quality of many of its writers, at least (again) for topics a little outside mainstream interest. Last time I edited Wikipedia, I discovered an organized editing effort by a professor teaching a course at a community college. I tracked it to the course website, and apparently as a semester long project, students were asked to pick an article and slowly incorporate improvements to it as well as check the quality of other incoming changes.

Now, I've taught classes at a pretty well regarded public university, and having had to grade the writing of incoming students from good high schools, my assessment of the writing skills provided by America's primary education system is Not Great. I can only imagine that the caliber of student coming into a typical community college is even worse. This isn't to trash this particular student or even the class, but to give an idea of who's editing Wikipedia, on a good day.

The article I was reading (which I'd regard as important - I actually found it after seeing statistics it provided quoted by well-known publications) had slowly been turned into complete garbage over the course of a few months by this student. It was barely coherent English. Statistics were misquoted and misinterpreted throughout (everyone citing the Wikipedia article had been misled, as a result). And this was the result of one editor doing a bad job, not even deliberate astroturfing. Suffice it to say, it's very dangerous to take Wikipedia seriously on any subject of importance unless the article about it has been widely reviewed.
And in many states, your car is one of the things that cannot be repossessed in case of bankruptcy.
I think it’s perfectly ethical to game the tests, but it can be hard to tell what’s actually being tested.

One or ours was deliberately set up so that prospect hires applying for a leadership position would end up with very, very, little in their empathy score if they chose answers that sound like the “right” ones for a leadership position. It was done to catch people off guard in their next interview, and see how they handled getting shown a result they’d very likely not agree with.

HR departments know these things are bullshit. They know people game the systems, exactly like people practice for the coding interview. The test and the results are often extremely irrelevant to anyone getting hired, it’s how people handle their results that’s important.

So far it's a lot of words and graphs with a tenuous grip on reality in a few places:

> There are, however, some groups in lower income brackets that do poorly in inflationary environments. If someone doesn’t have a lot of money and lives on a fixed income in retirement, they have a lot of vulnerability to inflation. Those sorts of folks should consider owning inflation hedges to protect their lifestyle, if they expect that high levels of inflation have a reasonable probability of occurring.

If you think someone in a low tax bracket on fixed income has the spare money to invest in anything, you're not understanding the words "low income" or "fixed."

> Capital had political control from the late 1800s through the 1920s. Labor had political control from the 1930s through the 1970s. Capital again had political control from the 1980s through the 2010s. I’m not sure what’s next but signs are increasingly pointing towards labor regaining some influence, and it’s a topic I continue to monitor.

As someone who was "forced" to learn classical piano while young I think I will do the same for my kids.

At age 12 I asked to learn violin instead and did, now playing folk music as a hobby is how I met my wife and the basis of my social life now (playing in two bands).

That being said, I look to my friends who played team sports from an early age and get great joy playing in a football team and feel like I missed out on that part of our culture.
It's a good point what if the governments and fed just continue on this path forever. Is there any downside? I guess no one can purchase homes and live in cities anymore. But rent is still cheap. I guess it would create this sick twisted landlord / tennant distopoa where the top 1% own all the real estate and the rest of humanity must continue appeasing the landlords or be evicted aka terminated.

The Barbershop example is orthogonal to what I'm describing. There, the singers are (apparently) choosing to sweeten particular chords to get certain relationships in the partials. That's something you can listen for and hear without having perfect pitch.

What I'm saying is that there seems to be a disconnect between the various theories of tuning systems and the way humans perceive melodic interval distances. It seems like people who have perfect pitch do a good, consistent job of organizing their memory of sounds into frequency bins. It also seems like what they are not doing is memorizing an idealized set of integer ratios-- or even any interval relationships in particular-- and then singing those intervals back in melodies.

If they could do the latter then you'd expect them to sing those intervals in melodic patterns that end up on a frequency measurably different from where they started. People with perfect pitch obviously have the ability to know when that happens, but I don't hear them describe that conundrum. It makes me speculate that what they are doing is leaping around "frequency lily pads" from memory rather than iterating over a list of well-defined intervals.
But you’re saying is the dopamine, I’m saying is the hydrogen peroxide that is not produced when the dopamine is not metabolize. Dopamine has no real function in the body other than neurological. But oxidative stress is critically important especially to lifespan.
