There's a fascinating case study inside the museum as well. Just inside the door they left up an old diorama of early European settlers meeting the natives. They've annotated it with a raft of reasons why it's misleading: all of the natives look alike, they're dressed alike, they don't show any of the richness and diversity of culture that the Europeans have. It certainly doesn't give even the faintest hint of what was to come after, which is that there aren't any of the natives in that area any more.

They've removed a lot of similar material throughout the museum, but they left this one as a reminder of why and how. It's pretty cool.

I'm glad they're removing the Roosevelt statue, which is pretty egregiously imperialistic. It was intended to be kind of egalitarian for its time, and perhaps it was, but only because its time was so explicitly and wildly racist.

We don't need to preserve every instance of that just to remind ourselves of what that was like. That diorama on the inside is much more interesting, and directly informative.

The hard part is getting doctors to offer prescriptions for the cheaper brands as an alternative. A lot of doctors will prescribe the most expensive drug simply because they believe or know that it is better in some way without regard to it's cost.

It's changed a lot recently as doctors have become more aware of the cost of these drugs. But you still have to self advocate for less expensive drugs. Less savvy people often have trouble getting transparency into drug costs. Often even the doctors can't get a straight answer on pricing and insurance coverage.

Imposing regulations that limits energy and transportation feels appropriate. Prioritize survival (and housing, education, and healthcare, and helping people come to terms with mortality), and help retrain people to do more with less.

What I always find frustrating with these numbers is that they don't tell what the interest rate is that the government has to pay. Some countries (e.g. the US) will pay very small amounts while other countries will have high interest rates.

I don't know that I'd say "inheritance is the root of all evil" (there are lots of antipatterns in OOP that are unrelated to inheritance, like Joe Armstrong's banana-gorilla-jungle observation) but I will say that inheritance is pretty close to useless in the best case and harmful in most cases. And I say this as someone who learned to program and then became a professional programmer when OOP was all the rage. I was taught OOP without the previous bias of other paradigms; it was only after learning other paradigms that I was able to articulate frustrations I was having with OOP. The implication that people who criticize inheritance in this way "haven't bothered to think" is patently false in the best case, and laughably arrogant in the worst case.

> The reason inheritance causes so many issues in languages like Java is because they are statically typed and also use classes as types[1]. Classes must be somewhere in the inheritance tree, hence you are forced into some place of that tree. To make things worse, Java has many keywords that restrict what inheritor of a class can do (private, final, etc).

Fear not, Python is dynamically typed and inheritance is a mess there as well.

> If someone expects you to implement Foo, you can (almost always) just implement its relevant methods without explicitly extending the class.

This is just structural subtyping (see Go's interfaces for a statically typed example of structural subtyping) also known as "duck typing". It seems like you're positing that the problems with inheritance derive from nominal subtyping (e.g., Java's `implements` keyword), but these things are orthogonal. Python has duck typing ("structural subtyping") and its inheritance is no less painful than Java's. Similarly, Rust has nominal subtyping (a type must explicitly implement a trait) and it has none of the inheritance-related problems that Python and Java have.

I am not trolling just a honest question based on parent poster experience.

I agree OO is too much for any beginner. Getting started with procedural thinking + basic types is in my opinion a requirement.

I agree nice parts about starting with JS is that basically only things you need is text editor and a browser.

Unfortunately data types will show up one way or the other so there is no need of hiding those. Even in Excel creating formulas one has to understand text vs number and difference between '.' and ',' and how operating system configuration make sometimes '.' to be decimal separator and sometimes ','.
Nope! A lot of features Anki doesn't have. Try out the demo account and let me know what you think.
The momentum to length thing comes from Newton's approximation for impact depth, which basically states that the distance a high speed projectile can penetrate something is a function of its density and length. Something like an asteroid or needs a certain minimum length to make it through the atmosphere without slowing down below the speed of sound.

It has nothing to do with rockets though, as rockets are not high velocity projectiles - they are powered vehicles and most of the time they are in the atmosphere they're not even going that fast. For space launch this condition would only be relevant if you're being shot out of a massive cannon or something.

No, I'm arguing there's a way to force-start even socket-activated services.

But this is really a moot point. Systemd's socket activation is really meant for system services which would otherwise be in the critical path of system boot. 'Regular' client-facing services that people normally run–webapps, etc.–are not really the target use case. It's fine to start them up in the normal way, with WantedBy=multi-user.target in the [Install] section. And I have never seen people use socket activation for them anyway. So you are basically arguing a strawman here.

2. It doesn't keep things simpler: If you lose it, or it's get compromised, you depend on Microsoft to access all of your Windows machines, not just one.

3. It's not "one login", unless Microsoft has gotten control over all websites, banks, ATMs, mobile phone apps and so on. It's just n-1 or n-2 sets of credentials instead of n.

4. Microsoft controls the authentication, so one could argue it's not secure.

Not sure how you figure that. More like the opposite.
That can hardly be blamed on non-enterprise customers. MS strangled those efforts in their cribs.
I am surprised that there is even as much coverage as there is. We are still getting basically the same footage of big deserts full of broken rock from Mars that we were in the 1970s, it is just in higher resolution now. There is not much reason for a person to get particularly excited about yet another Mars rover unless that person is interested in some pretty technical stuff. And with a Chinese rover, US audiences do not even get a nationalist thrill from news about it. Basically, unless you are into science, the reality of Mars is kind of boring. It is like Antarctica - there can be a lot of drama in getting there and surviving there and traveling around its rough conditions, but actual footage from there is almost entirely just very similar-looking vast white plains.

> But people are hoping Engineers find magic bullets so that our leaders don't have to take drastic action.

And engineers are hoping that politicians will just adopt their ideas without further work on the part of the engineers. Who's being more unreasonable in this situation, do you think?

This whole thread is riven with the attitude, sometimes more explicit and sometimes less, that in effect the engineering work to stop climate change is pointless: we have the tools, but that implacable demon Political Viability has condemned, and will always condemn our good works to eternal obscurity - as though the responsibility of the engineer ends when the tool is designed!

Which, to be fair, might be the case: the role of the engineer is to express the forms of nature and human craft in ever-more-useful ways. But as humans in a human culture, faced with the grim realities of climate change, can we really say that our responsibility ends with tool-making? Or do we have the additional responsibility to work to see those tools actually used for the common good?
Is there a significance of this molecule?

I don't think so? I'm responding to:

Those 'special cases' are all the algorithms which aren't inherently parallel, which is most of them! How many algorithms inherently have a large amount of natural parallelism? I'd say it's very few.

For example no matter how you write MD5 on Erlang... it's not going to run in parallel is it?

Ah, I see I misunderstood the comment to which I replied.
I liked the way how you can do calculations. But there are not a lot of functions available. Excel has hundreds of functions. I wasn’t even able to calculate an average (sum I could do). Or something like pivot tables.

I totally understand it’s just a one man project, but I would really like to see some of those amazing concepts in a commercial application at the scale of Excel. That’s why I called it a proof of concept.
How is the running thing operating on components any different from functions in a purely procedural language like C operating on records/structs?

Easy. Google should not be operating the monopoly search engine _and_ the monopoly web browser. They need to spin off search or Chrome as a separate company. Then they can source their data from wherever they like. Then every browser is an "other browser".

The article is wrong: There is no "from the perspective of the database" here. Normalisation is a logical-level process, not physical.

What we're using the database to do is to store information about the real world. 1NF is about eliminating nested relations. A list of telephone numbers is a relation -- a one-row table, if you will.

> Normalized relations, and the relationship between one normalized relation and another, mirror real-world concepts and their interrelationships. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization#Minimiz...

In the real world, a phone call is to a single phone number, not to a list of them.

> To satisfy First normal form, each column of a table must have a single value. Columns which contain sets of values or nested records are not allowed. -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization#Satisfy...

A list of telephone numbers is a set of values, not a single value. Several strings "in one".
The correct answer is that you should save it as 2021-06-28 with no time component. I get frustrated with KeyPass because it saves password expiration datetimes and not dates which is incredibly inconvenient when you go between timezones a lot.
> versus the 60s when Alan Kay coined the term

It was in the 70s, and his description that I quoted is from the 2000s.

> Alan Kay considers that inheritance and polymorphism are not essential, fine.

Polymorphism is a logical outcome of his requirements. So in a purely logical sense it is essential, although I imagine that saying that might be a little bit like saying that CO2 is essential for a campfire (as in that you can't get a campfire without emitting CO2, even though that is strictly a matter of consequences).

> He does consider encapsulation essential, though.

Yes, because biological cells are encapsulated.

There surely are some "well-known principles" but whether the "known" in that phrase has the same meaning as in "knowledge" (justified true belief at a first approximation) seems debatable.

In some cases it's laziness, but in some cases it's because you're looking at the frontend to a legacy system. Especially if it's a bank or other finance site, there is a good chance it fronts a system from the 70s that can only take 8 character passwords and special characters blow it up.

My point is that I believe Conde Nast chose AMP mostly so they would be in the carousel and not lose traffic since the carousel pushes down the organic results.

I agree. I think a high level programming language like JavaScript should default to the more "correct" (least surprising) behaviour, and let the programmer opt in to floating point numbers when needed for performance.

In modern JavaScript, you can use BigInt literals by suffixing an n, like this:

const maxPlusOne = 9007199254740992n;

If I could magically redesign the language, I would make all integer literals be effectively BigInt values, and I would make all decimal literals be effectively decimal values so that 0.1 + 0.2 === 0.3. I would reserve the letter suffixes for more performant types like 64-bit floating point numbers that have surprising behaviour.
