Ease of use is a weakness?
Side-hustles are a thing because people think that if they have to hustle for someone, it might as well be themselves.

But why hustle for anyone? We should establish a universal basic income for all, and leave hustling to people who are hustlers by nature.
Salt water intrusion into the aquifer is pretty bad for agriculture. Not sure if that would be a problem with refilling oil reservoirs but I'm not an expert.
I know how much food $1500 will buy, or how many months of rent it will cover, or how little of a hospital bill it can handle. How much civil rights can $1500 buy? They didn't know on the phone, but I was genuinely curious.

I agree that free speech is essential -- I imagine that they asked for money because I gave them money in the past. Can you agree that the starving, homeless, and sick might have difficulty exercising their right to free speech even if the ACLU protects it in court?
Yeah. I'm not quite sure how it works in the US, but here in the UK we have strong student unions that often have a good relationship with the university whose students they represent. I think any professor attempting this would get shut down pretty quickly.
You'd need boats in the area anyway to gather up the crew when the vessel started taking on water.
A simple struct/object having in order an int, a string pointer and another int having 3 different things happening to them can in some case be worse than having all the ints next to each other, etc. ISIISI… vs III…SSS…III..

How I learned to stop worrying and love climate change and geo-politics
I agree with the general sentiment, although the author seems to miss the point that many people trying to monetize their hobby aren't trying to win more money, but simply to replace the time working in a pay-the-bill job with time spent working on their hobby. There is a catch, which is that monetizing will require dealing with business duties, which comes with the risk of alienating the hobby. It's not clear how it compares to wasting your lifetime on a career you don't really care about.

Will Workers Return to the Office? (poll)
It was probably a sane technical choice for them. RPi4 is made on the same node as the Snapdragon 800 (28nm), but with a much more recent (and bigger) CPU complex, using the Cortex-A72.

This is provably incorrect.
FIRE is mentioned in the original article, including a contrast between ACLU and FIRE.
I never quite understood Uday's objection. Any language can be referentially transparent if you consider it's denotation to be just its syntax. Then you can always replace equals with equals, but the only thing equal to an expression is the exact same sequence of characters! The whole point is to be referentially transparent with respect to as coarse a semantics as possible. Haskell gets some of the way there, yet even

let x = e
y = e
in ...

is not equivalent to

let x = e
y = x
in ...

if your semantics can distinguish expressions by the time they take to evaluate.

Still (to address your original question) people do consider lambda calculi with effects, so if the expression-based fragment of an imperative language supports lambdas with lexical scoping then sure you could get away with saying that "their expression are based on lambda calculus".
That looks like a fallacy reasoning. In the same way if we would compare any harm that is happening on our planet to let say: Solar system, galaxy or universe, combined with age of a star, so it would be negligible and therefore justifiable?

Collateral damage is justifiable unless you are not that damage isn't it?

Better reasoning could begin with the question: would I leave my comfortable home, go there, and live there in community where water is contaminated by lithium mining sludge. Would I drink that water every day? Is there anyone who is suffering so I could enjoy comfortable life?

Like why do no-profits and charities seem to corrupt their aim at a greater speed than for profit businesses?

It seems inherent to the different aims of charities and businesses. Nucor Corporation has a nominal lineage from "Nuclear Corporation of America Inc." incorporated in the 1950s. But its actual business has had nothing to do with nuclear technology in 50+ years; it found more success in the steel business. Shareholders aren't mad that the company isn't following its original nuclear technology mission since it found a better business. There's nothing to "corrupt" when a business goes after different markets.

But some donors will be upset if a charity focused on one mission broadens or deviates from its original mission. Some people may also be happy with these sorts of change, of course, but mission changes tend to be more controversial with charities than with for-profit companies.
> ... practitioners experience in using the language

I use and like the language.

> For example base functions being untyped is exactly how good Julia library code must look. Julia wants your code to be generic.

I don't think there needs to be a conflict between being typed and being generic, especially when traits are available. There has been a lot of advancement in flexible type systems and ad-hoc polymorphism in the last 20 years. For example, there's a lot we can say about the type of `map` or `filter`, but none of that information is specified in Julia.
If the language in question has decent reflective capabilities, then I'd question why they don't use it. Perhaps they ran some benchmarks and found the language runtime performance lacking or maybe they are implementing the ECS pattern to the letter (e.g. using an integer to represent an "entity") as opposed to implementing ECS as a concept.
In other words, lobotomize yourself for work.
So there's this "Wrong Button!"[0] in the app store that just plays a "Wrong" sound clip when you click it. And also it has 5 different ads on the screen, an unskippable ad on opening the app that forces open Safari to view another ad, and a "Share" function presumably so they can bombard your friends with ads too.

Now I thought this was crappy, and I wanted the "Wrong" sound clip as said by Trump, so last week for fun I made a Wrong button that has no ads, plays the actual "Wrong" clip from Trump, and costs $1 as a one-time payment.

I got rejected, because the functionality was too minimal, and they said that I should add features. Hmm. It feels like their approval process is pretty inconsistent, kinda arbitrary. I kinda want to write back to them to figure out what exactly the existing "Wrong Button!" app has that I'm missing, like is ads mandatory? But also I feel like it's not worth my time. Frustrating.

The assertion that early 20th century Georgian (American South) police permitted a poor black man to get away with the rape and murder of a young white girl never really made much sense to me in the first place.

The fundamental difference between Lilienfeld and Shockley is that Lilienfeld didn't or wasn't able to even build a prototype. [0]

"Sadly, Lilienfeld does not appear to have ever built a working prototype of his device; indeed, there’s no evidence that he ever even tried. He also never published any of his work other than as patent applications, so the world would remain ignorant of his insights for another two decades, when Bell Labs started working on what would become the transistor. "

While Lilienfeld had probably given some inspiration or ideas to Shockley, it took actual implementation before it could be turned into product reality. So no, it wasn't 20 years between invention and application. Rather it took 20 years before someone actually put that theory into practical use. And once it was turned into practical use, industry commercialization followed rapidly. It didn't take 20 years after the Bell Labs' implementation for first applications to work.

So it's worth asking what is different here. If people are building prototypes and small scale implementations, what is truly getting in the way of commercialization?

> I'm not blaming Apple for not stopping these scams

Why not? You should blame them. They have positioned themselves as the gatekeepers. Why? To extract profit from application developers. However, such a powerful position also comes with expectations and responsibilities. They should absolutely not be allowed to get away with gross negligence.

We absolutely must blame them every single time they fail to keep malicious software out. They are responsible for that man's losses and should fully indemnify him. Had they not approved that software, it would not have happened.

Nobody cares about their "scale" or how "difficult" it is for them to determine what is and isn't malicious. They have assumed that responsibility by gatekeeping their devices and therefore any failures are directly attributable to them.

Questions like that, "the paradox of the heap", etc are kind of the unanswered question of ontology. Modern AI research has been criticized for not being especially interested in those questions when building their devices.

Such questions reappear on higher levels when you're reasoning about AI. But since the field hasn't been grappling with them overall, I'm doubtful they'll come up with great insight at this point.

>If there's a famine or a meat shortage, wouldn't people turn to other foods on their own? So it seemed unnecessary and superfluous.

No, what will happen is some people will get meat for the week in their shop, and some will get none.

Imagine meat is like toilet roll, one day a family turns up late to get their food from the store and there is no meat left for them.

It's better to avoid situations like this by trying to convince households to eat more alternatives, than to leave some households with no meat at all or let meat queues start etc.

Mode separation for motor, bicycle, and foot traffic; all traffic crosses as close to 90 degrees as possible (for visibility reasons); priority markings on pavement; speed bump on one of the entrances to slow traffic; and a lot more features I couldn't tell you about.

I think the Ford electric F150 will sell like mad if it's reliable. Modern gas and diesel trucks are kinda a mechanical nightmare at this point. Used to be they were simpler than cars. Easy to work on. Now they are as complex. And as hard to work on as vans, of not more so. Means if anything goes wrong $$$.

Electric, more reliable, easier to work on. With the same or better performance.

If the early adopters have a good experience, everyone else is going to follow.
> History?

Modern perspective on it is constantly evolving, especially on more recent bits, and there's plenty topics I'd rather have my kids being taught with a perspective from this century (E.g. to take my local German perspective, events surrounding WW2 and post-war development). Also, plenty things that happened while you were alive are History now. (remember, kids finishing high school now weren't born when 9/11 happened)

> Reading? Nope. Writing? Nope. Foreign languages? Nope.

Languages: Languages change (German literally added a letter in the past decade, new words are created, how people speak changes, ...). Language studies tend to be steeped in cultural aspects too, both for native and foreign languages (e.g. media literacy should probably cover internet material differently than it did when I was in high school, explaining the US media landscape in the English books probably also should look differently now). Being somewhat up-to-date with topics also helps students being interested.

> Science?

More stable, but also not frozen. Especially in biology and with medical topics you'll have changes, but other sciences too especially where discussing applications, but that's not as critical.

Some more examples:

Geography: If you'd given me 10 years old material in my first geography lessons even which country the lesson took place in would have been wrong.

Any kind of thing that deals with law/demographics/economics/politics (how exactly that's divided up into different subjects very much depends on where you are, it often comes up in material for other subjects) will benefit from regular review and updates.

A textbook being outdated doesn't mean the entire thing is useless now, often its just small sections that will stand out badly if not updated.
Automatic updates? Yes.

If the alternative is a medical device running in an untested configuration, that may well be worse.

Instead, updates should be verified by the manufacturer and pushed out on a schedule.

Food colorant E120 is crushed insects.
A lot of websites are using cloudflare which does make scraping quite difficult (just by default I think).

Spoofing your user agent is a must if you need to do anything nowadays.

To your second point that same would be applicable to Google and Bing and any other search engine. Even if you follow robots.txt and consume an equal or lesser bandwidth it does not matter much if you aren't an established player.
Thank you. But it was very on topic since it is about medical devices. Just a shot in the dark.
Most industries consider LTS fields good enough for their application and don't consider the investment into HTS worthwhile. If an MRI works at 6 T then why would they want to spend 2-3x as much for a 20 T field? You might get a better product but you'll price yourself out of the market. Similar logic for NMR, gyrotrons, etc. Every application that I can think of that uses LTS would benefit from HTS.

Hopefully as supply chains are established and economies of scale kick in for HTS the price will go down.
You're saying this is a PR piece? The story didn't claim that there are any benefits to eating Cicadas, and hardly made a case that they taste wonderful.

I have far from an encyclopedic knowledge of the ACLU and it's history, so I could be wrong. I had thought they have in the past done some 2nd amendment cases, and continue to do so. Their position is less strong, maximalist, whatever you want to call it than some other groups e.g. the NRA. They also don't see the need to focus a lot of resources on those types of cases when other groups do that, and effectively.
Have you tried any epubs with MathML? If so how do they compare?
I think you're right and overfitting certainly wouldn't explain bad performance of this algorithm, you can't overfit with such a simple strategy. The market can change in response to discovering this strategy though.

My personnal favorite regarding this kind of philosophical thinking similarities is Husserl "eidetic variations" method for finding what properties constitutes the essence of a concept (*).

We programmer do it instinctively, but having read about it gives me such a greater confidence to actually apply it methodically every time i design a type hierarchy...

(*) basically, the idea is to mutate the property, and see if the object's essence is unchanged. If it is unchanged, then the property isn't constitutive of its essence.
As an example, changing the color of a table doesn't change the fact that it's a table, so "color" isn't an attribute of the "Table" concept.

Only the front in theory: the crossing with the bicycle path is fairly close to 90 degrees. Even so -in practice- you should be checking side and rear anytime you make any turn on any kind of intersection (you fail the dutch driving exam if you forget even just once).
