"trivial to implement" if you don't need encryption. Which you kinda do most of the time. Not everything runs in the design constraints of an 8bit micro.

It would also be nice if you'd at least pretend to engage with the arguments in the paper, instead of making up imagined reasons.
Using ligatures (of sort) in presenting code doesn't mean the code itself is not ASCII. Plus, let's see mainstream languages adopt this, I doubt they will. Languages do stupid things all the time.

It happens but it’s not clear what you intend to say with that, so maybe just say it? I don’t think the systemd team could have imagined the success and scope of the project from day 1. Another explanation for their success is that the team was onto something, and by using proper engineering practices (work incrementally on pieces that are individually useful) became successful. Think T S Kuhn’s progressive research program.
Two things that accelerated my learning:

1. There are several fantastic books on Clojure. The Joy of Clojure and Elements of Clojure are some of my favorites.

2. Watching a professional using an editor/IDE with a REPL attached to it. Look for online videos. This is the biggest reason to why people are „addicted“ to it. The language and it’s ecosystem are made in a way that enables this „living in the code“ experience.
I feel like that's very well covered already when I wrote:

"The semantics of undefined behaviour are exactly the same before and after any transformation of the program"

[emphasis added]

I think you've got this idea that Undefined Behaviour somehow means that the behaviour is defined but is being kept secret from you. It isn't. The behaviour really is Undefined. Doing further transformations to it is therefore always harmless.

A dollar store owner explained it to me more or less as: they're the last stop before the dump. It's like how bill collectors will buy up debt a company has given up collecting themselves for pennies on the dollar.
I've never paid more than about 3.5k USD for a car. Not sure what the second hand market is like in America but in NZ and UK you can get great cars for a fraction of the cost of buying new.

In terms of maintenance, I've had some that were troublesome, and some that needed nothing, it's a bit of a lottery in that regard. Most common problems are solvable with a few hours on your back in the garage though.

Possibly most interesting is that the value decay has already taken place at this point. Eg: buy a car for 2k, sell it 5 years later for 1.5k, as opposed to buying it for 80k and selling it two years later for 40k
I don’t say “everybody.” I said “most people.” Across the entire Muslim world there is a feigned concern for Palestinians that’s mainly about showing solidarity with other Muslims in opposing the existence of Israel. I’m not talking about random Americans who happen to jump into the cause.
Daiso, the largest chain in Japan, designs a lot of their own products, and the shear variety of some product lines is one of the stores’ attractions. Twenty years ago, before going back to the U.S. from Japan for a family reunion, I bought fifty folding fans, each with a different Japanesey design, at Daiso as gifts. The relatives I handed them out to seemed delighted, and they cost me only a buck apiece.

Until I started working from home last year, I wore a suit and tie to my job in Tokyo. I have a collection of more than two hundred ties, each one different, all looking reasonably decent, bought for a hundred yen apiece at Daiso ten or twelve years ago.
You don’t need a “special keyboard setup”. Linux with X11 can do this out of the box. Add a line to your xmodmap file to put the dead Greek key where you want, and you’re done. I type ω by tapping a modifier key and then w. It’s even easier than typing W, because I don’t even have to hold down the modifier.

Not sure about Turkish, but I know for a fact that when you have a team of Chinese devs work on a Chinese software project Mandarin starts to show up in the codebase. And while usually it's written in pinyin (the standard Chinese romanization system) since most programming languages assume ASCII, it's obvious that those people could benefit from being able to use Chinese characters in place of ASCII and English.

If your argument is "sure, then let them invent/fork $LANGUAGE to suit their needs", just take note that if you're a language designer/developer that wants to see the language widely adopted, it's detrimental to have the attitude that ASCII is enough for everybody. There's no reason to have (for example) "Arabic-python" just because somebody insists on ASCII instead of UTF-8 even though there's little technical reason not to support it.

I'm so tired of this stupid mantra that crypto-addicts keep repeating.

1. You can't put real world events into a blockchain in a decentralized manner. In no fckn way. How are you gonna put a result of a sports event into a blockchain? By mining what? It's ridiculous. It always should be an oracle, authority, company, government, etc, i.e. a centralized trusted entity.

2. Loans. Yeah, loans to anonymous entities that can just transfer money to another wallet without any possibility of reversal.

3. Digital ownership. It's nothing without a possibility of a forceful defense of this ownership. You bought a house on a blockchain, but previous owners don't want to leave. What are you gonna do? Call Satoshi?
The nature of the cryptocurrency beast, with its endless land rushes, is that participants are constantly incented to act like shady penny stock boosters. There may be some true believers in there but it’s impossible to tell with all the chaff.
The tool will simply freak out when there is any recursion or indirect call. It's not helpful since it happens everywhere in standard libraries and non trivial programs (forget about sorting, any regex, parsing source code, linting, etc...).

The only use case is for real-time embedded code -typically in aerospace- where the coding guidelines prohibits you from using any recursion at all and you have to prove the highest stack usage fits into the chosen microcontroller.
There are at least two other reasons I prefer small (paginated) requests.

First, it’s much simpler to define meaningful latency SLOs. If requests take roughly the same time, I can say that requests (or even requests “of this type”) should complete with p99 under 300ms. If they’re very variable, it’s harder to know when the service is degraded. (You can use time-to-first-byte, which is usually more uniform, but you can miss degradation that affects the data stream. Then it’s tempting to look at throughput, but that’s impacted by client speed, which you usually want to ignore here.)

The other is that bulk requests can make it much cheaper to DoS the service. If all requests take about the same amount of work on the server, then forcing the server to do work requires proportional client resources to make the requests. If you can make one small request that causes the server to go off and do a bunch of work while the client does almost no work, that’s a cheap way to DoS a server.
Same in the US (as a doctor of materials engineering). I wonder why new vocab hasn’t been invented yet, but it’s probably for the better; few care if you have a doctorate, which is fine by me.
Never look to people like Andreesen or Thiel for political advice.

Do they think that giant companies are run in a decentralized manner in any way? Walmart, Target, Delta, Southwest, Google, Facebook, etc, are all plagued by “central planning”, and resemble the USSR more than they resemble any right-libertarian ideal.

Never mind the fact that the word libertarian referred to left-libertarians until right-libertarians coopted it in the 60s. Left-libertarianism predates right-libertarianism by a century

Also, it’s rich for Thiel to talk about decentralization when he used his money and power to support Trump, the most authoritarian President in a while. Cut a right-libertarian, and a fascist bleeds.
Other entries in the blog mention she has a military husband.
I think it's pretty ignorant from both Thiel and Andreessen to put cryptocurrency and AI on the political spectrum.

And generally I doubt the usefulness in classifying things into right and left.

At the polar ends of each are people that have conflicting norms on how the world should work. These usually arise once again through ignorance as a norm carries the expectation to be accepted by everyone.

To someone that has worked in the tech of cryptocurrency, all I'm saying is that I'm not particularily interested in the left/right drama. Let's hope it never catches on.

In my opinion these narratives are just created because somehow they'll serve Thiel and Andreessen to run a more specific story that they can use to increase their wealth.
In the US we never had that battle. We had Federalists (more aligned with a stronger federal government) vs Antifederalists (more aligned with weaker federal government and pushed for the bill of rights to limit government power). Neither one wanted or ever pushed for authoritarianism. It's about individual rights vs local vs national government, and how much authority is delegated to the national body. I think right vs left is an overused and over-simplistic tool for analyzing modern politics, especially across various cultures.
TLDR version: "crypto" will turn everything upside down somehow, but we will have to wait at least 30 years to see it.
Well, Binance has been banned in the UK (Biggest crypto exchange in volume) so I don't see why we should stop there if the only usecase is 'scams', 'fraud' and 'ransomware'.

I mostly agree with what you are getting at here. However occasionally it is useful to abstract over all Functor or all Monads, etc.

For example, when using the Van Laarhoven free monad[0] implementation, I'll quantify over all monads. While, there is a simple data type definition for free monads[1], it suffers from a well-known issue that the bind operation has quadratic complexity. The Van Laarhoven free monad circumvents this problem (at least in the common case where you are not trying to "execute" the intermediate monadic constructions). There are also continuation-based approaches for free monad implementations as well.

The benefits of free monad are the typical ones described in "Data types à la carte" where you can, for example, instantiate your free monad in the IO monad for production, but use a pure monad instance for (parts of) your test harness.

(Generic implementations of free monads and their operations is another example of quantifying over all Functors, but I'm assuming for the sake of argument that you'd prefer to repeat that boilerplate over and over again for all your specific free monad instances.)

That's a simplistic take and unfair to those who are cautious about it.

Most opposition to climate engineering is based on the risks of introducing more instability to a complex system we already don't completely understand. For instance experiments to fertilize oceans with iron to supposedly stimulate phytoplankton production had all kinds of unexpected side effects and failed to produce the hoped-for outcome.

We will certainly be forced into climate engineering solutions of some sort, as emission reductions alone are no longer sufficient to solve the problem even if we drop to net zero immediately, but they should be treated with caution and skepticism because of the inherent risk involved.

It also varies by the type of engineering. CO2 sequestration is widely accepted and desired because of its low risk, but it's difficult and expensive.
> — the ability for many untrusted participants in a network to establish consistency and trust. This is something the Internet has never had, but now it does, and I think it will take 30 years to work through all of the things we can do as a result.

Wow, when you put it like that, it's amazing that I can shop, bank, and safely talk with my friends and family online. Pretty much all my messages are encrypted and/or checksummed (as necessary) and I still have to trust all the hardware and software on top to do it's job, just like anything else.

How does "Crypto" change this?
Does anyone have resources for learning Clojure?

I am interested in the actual Clojure bits. I mean, I know Lisp syntax and functional programming basics. But one also needs language-specific things: standard libraries, namespaces, etc. What is a nice resource for these?
Digging the aesthetic.
Half a dozen bookshelves filled with just cookbooks, so apparently I am not too strict.

I think that cooking from recipes is kind of catch-22. Recipes seem to be most useful to people who already are adept at cooking (in particular cuisine and in general) but when you don't know how to cook recipes seem to be practically only source of information.

I think if you are already adept at cooking, know techniques, cuisine etc. then you will be able to judge the book on your own.

For example, if you are just starting up with Italian cuisine, you will be thoroughly disappointed by The Silver Spoon.

It is huge compendium of recipes, but it is very light on any kind of explanation of technique -- assuming the reader is already steeped in the Italian culture.

On the other hand it is very useful to me as one of the books to look for a little bit of inspiration when I just want to throw in something new. Just going through the list of ingredients is usually enough for me to imagine the process and reading the description is more of a confirmation that I actually understand what is going on.

From the article, the use case discussed is distributed consensus.

With cryptocurrencies we as society have the option of a new way of organizing labor and capital to achieve a goal. Instead of kings, politicians, corporate owners or middlemen - we have the opportunity to build systems based on the idea of rules without rulers.

Bitcoin eliminates the need for central bankers to control the money supply.

Ethereum replaces armies of lawyers and beaurocrats with smart contract code.

In the future crypto might allow you to build Ubercoin so we can have a distributed ride-sharing platform without a central entity in the middle.

These new distributed consensus mechanisms eliminate the weaknesses of traditional approaches which rely on fallible human leaders who can be corrupted replacing them with code and incentives.

This allows for emergent properties such as censorship resistant money that can be transmitted quickly and irrevocably over the internet.

These are novel and innovative use cases powered by the most important invention of the 21at century.
I think grocery store throw-aways are on a different supply chain. There are stores that sell the old bread from grocery stores. I assume there are stores for meat that's still good but past what the grocery stores stock.
you don't have to trust the vendor, the bank, or the social media company.
The world and society at large has seen an erosion of trust.

For the naysayers, ask yourself:

- do you trust your government more or less than your parents

- do you trust the mainstream media more or less than your parents

- do you trust big companies to do the right thing more or less than your parents

As we culturally become less trusting, we need different tools to organize and determine value. Protocols that enable decentralized, distributed consensus helps build those tools. Adoption of these protocols, independent of cryptocurrency mania, is bound to happen.
Seems to me you're making the same point as the parent poster.

I think by "ownership" they mean monopolization of the poles due to agreements with the local govt to provide service in return for monopoly rights.

Thiel said that “if AI is communist, crypto is libertarian.” He didn’t say “right vs. left” and Andreessen is misquoting him, either deliberately or on purpose.
You have put it very well. I am stealing this one:)
It might feel like this but it is anything but true. Prodigy was available in the early 90s and the age of 286 computers. AOL and compuserve were available very early too and for years their uses were email, online encyclopedias, looking up jpegs and eventually chat rooms. Lots of people saw no need for it in the dialup days. It took a decade for the first cable connections to become available.

Right now cryptocurrencies have taken off to an extent. Everyone knows about them but the eco system is a giant mess.
Research fields like algebraic geometry and symplectic geometry? Or pure mathematics in general?

Pure mathematics relies on written proofs, not falsification by experimental evidence (though finding a counterexample is one powerful way to disprove a mathematical conjecture).
That... sounds like a special keyboard setup to me.
It's not equivalent, but people create a similar dynamic online. IRC is a great example. Today there's several slacks/discords I idle in that are just friends sharing what's going on throughout their day. Both contexts have advantages and disadvantages imo.

With respect to hiring, I would say this is one of those things interviewers fail to analyze. When we look for technical prowess and attitude/behavior, the truth is those things are never expressed in the code base. Mental models, however, are exactly what is expressed in the code base. We are interviewing people and trying to see where on the normal distribution they land on the pure technical level, experience, and attitude, but rarely do those three things have an outsized impact on a generic codebase.

Instead, if you pull up someone’s GitHub and see wonderfully over abstracted code, boom, there’s your guy who is not in the middle of the normal distribution. In other words, they don’t write common code (which means they don’t write clearly, or with common sense, and certainly do not write simply).

Soon as you introduce someone like that into a code base, suddenly things that used to be simple are physically painful to touch. Jumping through files, following the wire to see where it leads, layers of abstraction, and so on. That is a codebase terrorist and one interviews for it. The fact that the entire team must now take on the mental model and enter the headspace of such a person is exhausting.

Hire commoners, and test for obtuse mental models (something that is easily missed in an isolated coding challenge and no way visible in the behavioral portion. But alas, this will fuck with your whole team more than anything else).
Presumably the lookup is based on Unicode character names. The name of "你" is CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-4F60.

Charmap must be showing you information from some sort of dictionary entry or similar, but that's not part of the identity or name of the Unicode character, any more than the name of the Unicode character U+0049 "I" is "first person singular pronoun" (it's actually named LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I); that's just what it happens to mean in one particular language.
