If that's what someone is looking for in another person, then yes. But the concept of "better" is purely contextual. What seems to be better for marriages, or any team of people, is when the participants bring fulfill different roles that serve the shared mission. Two people doing fundamentally the same thing isn't necessarily helpful, although some people may thrive together that way.

One distinct event that stuck out to me was when they were cooking kale. I think it was going into a quiche or something but that didn't matter. It was such a perfect dichotomy and juxtaposition, the French man was preparing it using the contemporary American method of sautéing it directly in a pan touting the benefits of nutrition retention while the American woman was for the traditional French method of boiling it and nutrition be damned for the sake of it being less bitter.'

I miss programs like that, now when there's more than one chef it's a full on ESPN level competition.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I think I'm beginning to understand but am not quite sure.

While I wouldn't consider myself fluent in any of the following, I do know how to read musical notation (from middle school/high school band) and I can read/write/speak a non-ASCII language (Korean). So I am somewhat familiar with non-ASCII notation.

> The closest I can come to explaining what happened with J is that they did their best to convert every APL symbol into an equivalent combination of ASCII characters.

This is the statement I keep on getting stuck on. From what I have read, besides the symbols being converted to ASCII characters, APL and J are generally the same. Both work on arrays, both are parsed right to left, etc. It seems like the only major change is that the symbols got converted to ASCII characters that are at a maximum 2 characters long. If this is the case, what would you say about the J language's notation if the authors one day decided to change all the symbols to non-ASCII characters? Everything else would stay the same, such as what the symbols do and how much space the symbols takes up (max 2 characters). If the J language were to change only its symbols and nothing else, would its notation be considered to be on par with APL's?

As you mentioned, my lack of proficiency in other specialized notation might be preventing me from understanding the issue. That said, your last set of comments strikes a chord with me and I do think I kind of understand. As you mentioned previously, notation is "a powerful tool of both expression and thought." The usage of specialized notations allows one to express their thoughts and ideas in a way that normal writing can't. But I guess this is where being well versed in the subject matter comes into play, since after all it is a "specialized" notation. It would be difficult for someone who doesn't have a strong background in the subject matter to take advantage of the specialized notation.

To me, with my limited knowledge and experience, J vs APL appears to be a symbol (graphical) design comparison rather than a notation design comparison. And as someone who doesn't have a strong mathematical background, both APL's and J's symbols conveyed nothing to me when I first saw them. Changing the symbols to non-ASCII or ASCII has no effect on me besides figuring out how I would input the non-ASCII characters. But I suppose that to you, a change in the symbols isn't something so superficial. The way I understand APL vs J now is that for those who are experienced in APL, the changing of the non-ASCII symbols to ASCII characters, simply for the purpose of not having go through the trouble of inputting non-ASCII characters, "broke" the notation.
I actually don't.

Ginger is incredibly cheap and comes in quantities larger than I need for almost all preparations. The loss that comes from cutting it into a rectangular prism is worth the time for me, since I'm going to be throwing some of it in the trash anyway.

That's really interesting - I primarily work from a home office, but if I'm struggling to buckle down and get some documentation done, sometimes I'll head out to a random coffee shop and set up there for a while. It's easier to stay focused when the internet's just that bit slower...

It's not a cash grab. Its an optional domain registrar. Feel free to start your own smart contract based registrar. Otherwise .eth domains are accepted pretty much everywhere as a substitute for a public key. ETH addresses are 40 digits long. Yes, you can copy/paste. But having yourname.eth is nice for user friendliness. Best part though is, you have a choice. And you can always register a domain much later if you ever feel the need.
Tech people and farmers aren't separate species.

Almost everybody used to farm, and largely over the course of the 20th century, people quit farming and started getting college educations and learned to use computers.

That's literally my family history. My mom really didn't want to work on the family farm as a teenager, so she studied hard and got a scholarship, and a math degree, and ended up a programmer because women weren't allowed to be engineers.

It's such a waste of effort when people go on the attack against stereotypes, regardless if the stereotypes are socially acceptable. Why not address real people, with real experience of your own? You want to say something about "sensible" farmers you have known, or hard problems?

This is mostly correct. I added some context in my answer that you might be interested in.

I think it would be more correct to say that adding silver would mostly cause increase liquidity it unlikely silver would have caused significant inflation.

In general I would argue the issue with silver was way overblown, if silver or not would not have changed the fundamental problem.

The people who opposed silver predicted over the top results and those who were pro silver overestimated the actual effect it would have.

The US monetary system had far more important issues related to unit banking, reserve pyramids and note issue.

In case it helps, I found out about the article from this interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4Aji9tl2D8. I hadn't heard of Sam Haselby before, but Matt Stoller is an interesting antitrust-oriented critic of big tech.

Maybe it's different in public universities (or just the universities that I've seen), but I went to one and the on campus activities are pretty available to the general public who don't attend the university. There are few things that are locked down to students only and I know cases where non-students talk to the club organizers to get exceptions.
Would have been nice if they had given a serious mention to some of the positives. Sure, Europe ahs hundreds of mobile operators but we also have cheaper plans than any I could find in America. We also have serious competition with our internet providers so I can actually switch to a better service.

Anyway it is sad that we can't seem to grow as many new large companies. Hopefully we can improve at that while keeping worker protections and climate protections.

Having your access restricted based on readily-remedied conditions, based on consideration for the common weal, or to one of numerous potential suppliers or vendors, is different from access restrictions based on flat-out retaliation, intimidation, coercion, historic social discriminatory bases, and/or to the sole, overwhelming majority, or most attractive (low cost, convenience, features, compatibility/interactivity) provider.

The "private business right of refusal" argument has some merits, but also substantial equity and justice problems.

I'm not who you're replying to, but I don't think that's what he said. They should be allowed to succeed, but building a product under the guise of competing in the market with the end goal of getting bought is grimy. It's one thing if you make something new and valuable and you take an offer for it, it is entirely another to make something that deliberately competes with google for the purpose of getting bought to stifle competition.

In the article they talk about a bill designed to prevent tech companies from buying competitors to squash them, but with the potential consequence of stopping startups that have that as a business model, and that is framed as a negative consequence. They're saying this is a positive consequence, and I have to agree with them. If what you made is really a competitive product then it should be able to be profitable on its own. If it can't be it isn't actually competitive and should fail.

OpenBoot/Open Firmware[1] also used Forth.

Although the standard was withdrawn in 2000, it continued to be used by PowerPC Macs until Apple moved to x86 and EFI/UEFI.

Open Firmware is now actually open source as OpenBIOS (and OpenBoot is also available under a BSD license.) Apparently it can be used as a qemu boot rom for Linux, BSD, Solaris, and PowerPC versions of Mac OS 9 and OS X.[2]

I usually do recipes "by the book" a few times, and then do it the way I want.

For example: chinese braised pork belly. Generally you cook the pork belly in the sauce until the sauce itself reduces and coalesceses around the pork belly, giving it a reddish appearance. Then you serve it over rice.

Problem for me?

I'm cajun/creole. While I'm perfectly fine with eating plain white rice by itself in the asian tradition, it's just not how we do it back home. We smother things so that the sauce mixes with the rice. So I added more of the liquid ingredients and brown sugar. I added some korean red pepper to up the pepper flavor of the sauce. I addded some cinnamon sticks because I felt it complimented the other ingredients.

Side by side, my pork tastes a little better than theirs. It's got more flavor. It also has sauce to pour over the rice.

It's not authentic (and not as red), but it's also something that everyone who has ever tried it has enjoyed.

Then again... if I see someone put tomatoes in a gumbo or jambalaya... or sprinkle seasoning on top of seafood after they've been pulled out of the boiling pot... that is a friendship breaker lol.
Well that was the gist of my last sentence regarding not letting external Big Tech behave like current Big Tech.

Could you explain why each of these libraries needs to be unique in a runtime instance? I don't know much about GUIs or networking, but numpy doesn't seem like it needs to be unique.
From "How to Use Tables" [1]:

"Tables is a collaborative database that lets teams track and automate work, without any coding required.

You can store various types of rich information -- people, attachments, dates, locations -- and visualize the data in powerful layouts that make it easier to track your work: kanban boards, ticketing queue, and more. You can also add input forms to collect data, and bots to automate actions in your table."

Yep. Note that ENS is an open source self-running protocol, i'm really the dir of operations of True Names LTD, the non-profit that de facto manages. Funds raised from .ETH name registrations/renewals don't even go to TNL but to an Ethereum community multisig (never spent, but plan is to use it for long-term ENS dev funding). I'm thinking about these things precisely because I'm working on the project.

Mysql admin here. If i need to create an in sync copy of a mysql db machine i take a snapshot then let replication catch up. Done. I can do whatever I want to this new machine (test alters, drop columns, etc) and let it catch up. If i like the box i just attach a few replicas - promote it to master, done.

The Triggers trick is awesome (go percona!) -- but with cloud vms it takes a few seconds to fire up a complete insync replica. I find this safer than triggers running all over a prod database [esp. if you have thousands of vms!]. IMHO.

I think that's horribly misleading.

Obviously, the percentage of women in the workforce shot up after anti-discrimination laws were applied to sex, but since the turn of the century, that trend has leveled off and reversed. If you just look at the last 20 years, the percentage of men and women in the work force have both been going down.

Using your own, new chart (EFG8), which I used DoL statistics to verify [1], the overall labor force participation rate dropped from 67 in 2000 to 63 right before the pandemic hit, almost monotonically. What happened 20 years ago?

I completely reject everything that you are saying. A grown man (or woman) who is dependent on their parents at that level has very serious problems because they are the equivalents of obese domestic dogs in a world full of wolves. Left to their own devices, they would have nothing.

A person who does nothing with their life when they could be doing something is really a narcissist. They take it for granted that others will support them even though they contribute nothing and they don't understand that there could be any reason to work hard other than their own immediate pleasure. Ironically, these people often complain that the reason for their situation is because others aren't doing enough to help them. In their minds, it's not really their fault that they are failures and they go to great lengths to convince other people of these lies.
I agree with most of you're saying, but I don't believe this requires a woman needs a college degree or hold down a "job" to be a good companion or that a college degree likely helps her at all in that context. I would even argue the same for men. The thing I'm arguing for is that it shouldn't be surprising that most men are indifferent to women's college education. Yes, some men on the edge of the bell curve are going to require a woman of a university background. The rest of the time, it doesn't add anything to a man's experience with a woman and can even potentially detract from it.
You’re presumably paying for a relationship with someone who has expertise.
More succinctly, why work when we have nothing to work for?

Anecdotally, I just graduated from university and am gainfully employed. I'm really happy to be employed, yet I quickly realized that I have no idea what I want to do with all this money. I'm never going to be able to buy a house. I'm not particularly enthusiastic about having kids, and don't think I can afford children in the first place. I have no major life milestones to look forward to other than retirement. So why am I working? What do I do with all this money, other than dumping it in investments and generally hoarding the wealth? I've yet to find an answer.

Who knows, maybe I'll end up retiring before my 40th birthday.

Yeah, my first encounters was the early 90s, where I wrote a gene sequencing support system with TCL/TK - it was pretty fun and worked pretty well, but there wasn't a lot available in the space. Python was still being dreamed up, bash wasn't up for it, and otherwise you had Fortran/C/C++/Pascal/Lisp.

Fast forward 20 years and I found myself using it again, but it felt silly compared to the now-mature Python, Lua, PHP, and Ruby.

Can you elaborate on that? I thought the general advice is to show off what you do because you hope to find someone who also enjoys the same.
I agree with your sentiment except for the « men unable to feel » thing. Emotions and sentiments are a fundamentally human thing and men feel too. However there is a social pressure on men to not show emotions and sentiments.
We fight patriarchy so that women are less pressured into being fragile and pretty housewives but we should also fight it so that men are less pressured to be emotionless hardworking robots who have to provide for their family.
Addiction is fascinating because the distribution of outcomes is so broad across users. Damn near anything can be life-debilitatingly addictive to some segment of people while others can consume it with absolutely no problems.

Psychology obviously can't always be simplified, but I think a key component underlying when consumption goes in a bad direction is why someone is using.

If you're playing videogames because your life is otherwise fine and you want to sprinkle some leisure on top, it's fine. Hell, you can play for hours a day and it's not really a problem if you're content with the time spent.

But if you're playing videogames as an avoidance strategy for underlying psychological problems, then you're setting yourself up for addiction. Because avoidance tends to cause those problems to grow. You aren't working on them, and seeing yourself avoid them subconsciously sends a signal that the problem is too big for you to handle. So the whole time you're avoiding, you're building it up bigger and bigger.

Interesting to get some context here on Oltenia. Coming from Transylvania, where water is good and plentiful (often coming straight down from the mountains), I was shocked at how parched many of the villages I cycled through were, and how bad the water from the wells they relied on often was.
