There is Artin's approach, and then there is a more abstract approach by Grothendieck relating to the fundamental group of algebraic topology.

In the movie Beautiful mind there is a scene, where a student tells John Nash that he can proof that 'Galois extensions are the same as covering spaces'. This follows from the Grothendieck's approach. However the analogy between Galois extessions and the fundamental group was known even before Grothendieck.

Then there are even more general approaches in the category theory setting.

Today these generalisations are taught indeed without much regard to the computational spirit of 19th century mathematics. They have their merit as you say, but I agree understanding the computational aspects are instructive in fully appreciating the generalisations and analogies.
There's a couple of grocery stores here that are recently trying out selling soap and shampoo this way. You bring your own bottle and fill it up. It makes sense and is not much extra hassle to the consumer, however I'm not sure how hard it is to scale logistics-wise.
I love this genre and RTSes. I want to recommend a game called Northgard (really an RTS and if you into vikings, norse mythology) but has some interesting and novel game mechanics. These include the effects of Winter and periodic calamities (fire, frozen waterways).
Strong disagree - 'plus' is quite a good name for Joda Instant, and his alternatives are atrocious.

Certain problem domains require baseline familiarity with the subject. Far more people can recite the old "30 days has September, April, June, and November" rhyme than can explain what the words commutative and associative mean. Date math may annoy pure mathematicians but normal humans are used to working with calendars.

In the problem domain of dates, 'plus' is analogous to (but not exactly) its mathematical counterpart, and Joda's month math is almost always exactly what you want. Furthermore, plusIshRoundCeiling doesn't really explain anything; ceiling of what? The OP suggests that the cognitive dissonance is beneficial to the user. In which case it might as well be plusAsterisk or plusDontForgetToReadTheDocumentation.

The problem with plusGoReadTheDocs et al is that all problem domains have little edge cases like this. Excepting pure math, every single plus method is going to have notes. It'll be worse than those useless Prop 65 warnings in California.

Joda did this one right. Date math is simply not associative or commutative. Thankfully, most people are familiar with calendars and have some intuitive sense of this already. Littering the API with special hints doesn't help.

You don’t even have to have high blood pressure for above ‘normal’ (~2000mg/day) salt intake to create the effect. It’s observable in people with normal blood pressure as well, and pronounced in a subset of the population with a gene that appears to worsen the effect.

The potassium factor is why many doctors often recommend sea/himalayan salt — these salts usually have a bunch of other minerals, including potassium.

For anyone wondering, no, it’s not a good idea to try to self medicate the combination of high blood pressure + a sodium heavy diet with potassium supplements. Do it wrong and you’ll end up with hyperkalemia, which is both very uncomfortable and potentially life-threatening.
A bit off topic but you know what’s really jarring for me?

For the past ten years I’ve agreed with the majority on hacker news on almost every issue. Software patents, voting rights, who knows what else. Everyone seemed to just find the right answer and it made sense.

Then all of a sudden I’m in tiny minority because I believe people should be able to choose what they put in their own bodies. It really feels like a twilight zone episode.

> You have fears about getting a vaccine, moreso than for coronavirus. If this is you, do you prefer a mask mandate? And if so, how do you enforce this in a restaurant, where anyone eating takes off their mask right away?

I'd rather have a mask mandate, like we did earlier. Lacking one is ridiculous because it's trivial to lie and forge a vaccine card. First they said masks wouldn't help, then they said the vaccine was enough. Both steps have been wrong. Societies are being petulant and refusing to just skip to the effective option because they want to party and avoid cooking.

I always find that C++ vs C comparison to be amusing, given I work with a bunch of C folks who don't like C++ but love Rust... not everyone likes languages for the same reasons. There's a grain of truth in sayings like this, but it's not the whole picture.

(I am also not saying Rust is the only thing, or that Rust should "win" over Zig, whatever that means, or anything more broadly. My comment is purely about how Rust is too "new" and "untested", in a vacuum.)

Thanks for the comment about the blog post. It was a fun one to write.

Or you know, let people decide if they want to take a risk. What do I care if someone doesnt want to get vaccinated and put themselves at risk? Thats on them. Just like they can go bungee jump or drive a race car.
> And literally anyone who wants a vaccine can get one.

Completely false. There's several groups that might want the vaccine that can't get it. Including: children and the immuno compromised.

I have an MSC in quant finance, and i'm seriously considering learning Django (in top of my backend skills) to build an complete app for personal finance management.

Key features ;
- Budget (aka cashflow management, what am I doing with my paycheck next month?)
- Project planning (aka balance sheet, what is the purpose of my inflows and outflows over time?)
- End of year results(aka do my projected budget match my projects, and if you want to travel so much why are you spending X amount on alchool?)
- Taxes (how do I pay less of them)
- Insurance (how do I mitigate common risks, and when should I purchase insurance to protect my projects)

I myself need one app for financial transaction, another for rebalancing my portfolio of ETF, one for doing my taxes, a spreadsheet for my budget, etc. My bank credit card and debit card are managed by two different units which refuse to talk to each other and share information. This is ridiculous.
> Is there evidence NYC's hospital system could be overloaded?

My friend, a plastic surgeon, was drafted to tend to an entire floor of folks on ventilators. No other doctors. Occasionally, an exhausted nurse. He spent the last twenty years doing face lifts. I think some patients were in doctor’s offices.

We also halted surgeries and cancer patients’ visits and hosts of other stuff to keep the strained system from going New Delhi.

Boston mayor compares NYC's vaccine mandate to slavery
I run a nonprofit that serves teenage hackers and one of the services we provide is called Hack Club Bank (https://hackclub.com/bank/), which gets you 501(c)(3) status under our legal entity, The Hack Foundation, and a powerful web platform for managing your finances. 331 organizations run on Hack Club Bank today, and we take care of all of the financial administration, including filings with the IRS. It's kind of like Stripe Atlas for nonprofits.

There's an application form at the bottom of https://hackclub.com/bank/. While we started by only serving teenagers starting organizations, we recently started working with adults too. Some organizations that run on Hack Club Bank now have budgets in the $100,000s.

We operate as a fiscal sponsor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiscal_sponsorship), which is a common practice in nonprofits. So while you'd legally be operating as an independent sub-project of The Hack Foundation, you'd be totally autonomous in your brand and operations (and get the benefits of having us take care of all of the bookkeeping and filings with states and the federal government).

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at zach (at) hackclub.com.

EA and Bloomberg happened to make similar extensions to the standard library. Then, when the C++0x revision started, they both submitted proposals explaining their extensions including why they felt the extensions were necessary ( http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n227... , http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2015/n446... ). The approach eventually made it into the standard ( https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/memory_resource ).
I don't think you're factoring in that many of those cables would need replacements during the lifetime of the device they're used with.

Excellent point - over 60% of the lifecycle costs of a cup are in the earlier phases (like raw materials, production, and transport).

Perhaps business value the tax benefits of to moving computer hardware costs from capex to opex.
Not that familiar with current web technology. What do you mean with "self hosted" websocket systems?
That would make sense indeed, if the prices for 365 weren't so damm high.

And if we had a computer that could be a dumb terminal - it would cost 10-20 dollars, have wifi, ethernet, an HDMI connection and support a mouse and a keyboard.
I had not heard of those, thanks for sharing. I agree that informative tech that allows more rational collective action is the way forward, but I also share your paranoia that semantic analysis will be another hazard that empowers actors with misaligned goals.
I live in NYC.

I can't tell you how important it is to keep people who are unvaccinated away from those of us who are vaccinated.

For those that don't know, NYC has very crowded indoors situations because of the cost of real estate. We are all close together.

No sympathy whatsoever for those who refuse to get a vaccine and even offered $100 to get the vaccine.

People never have the right to infect another human being. That is just the way it is.

No "rights" supersede the right to not be infected by non-vaccinated people. None.
You are (mostly) correct. It is pre-symptomatic transmission that has driven most of the spread. By comparison, asymptomatic carriers have been shown in studies to spread the virus much less effectively. People can still get infected after being vaccinated (or having recovered naturally), but they are far more likely to have a truly asymptomatic case and therefore less likely to spread the virus.

In theory, sure. In practice, skepticism can be impractical. The guys printing the food pyramid postor needs science's guidelines. The hospital director wants to provide guidelines for the catering contract. Etc. IDK is fine, but they'll just ask the next guy until they get an answer. What do you mean science doesn't know what we should eat? Oh FredPret, you're such a contrarian. Don't be difficult.
It's interesting to note that this blog post was written in 2003, and that a lot of the arguments we've seen in this thread, both for and against dynamically typed languages, are exactly the same arguments people might have used back then. One question to ask is whether there's anything we know today about this question that we didn't already know 20 years ago.

My suggested answers:
1. We now know, 20 years later, that dynamic-typing languages have not replaced static-typing languages. All of the languages from that '03 blog post are still heavily used. If we look at more recently introduced languages, some are statically typed and some are dynamically typed. Evidently programmers still see value in both of those ideas, and neither looks like it's replacing the other.
2. We now know that it's possible to add type deduction to statically typed languages and type annotation to dynamically typed languages, even older languages like C++ and Java and Python.

That's very strange. Is this a versioning problem (i.e. Catalina not being supported anymore?) or is there some kind of hardware restriction?

From what I can find, Catalina should still be supported for more than a year from now, right?

I agree with you in general, although I think the home prices probably overstate the case given the huge value transfer from commercial to residential real estate for work-from-home purposes. Not that I think we'll go back to anything like the pre-pandemic distribution, but it'll be interesting to see where it nets out when the dust settles in 4-5 years.
The crisis caused by the US training low-level offenders into hardened criminals in its laughably misnamed “correctional” systems and then deporting them to Central American countries where they become prime actors in the destabilization of those countries which produces a refugee crisis impacting Mexico as well as the US?

No, not really, both because of the absence of a legal basis for any such suit, and because it wouldn't be targeting the responsible actor.

"Interpreting" the Interstate Commerce Clause to grant the Federal Government the power to regulate controlled substances?

At this point, there is no power conceivable that the Federal government could not claim under the umbrella of "it might affect commerce somewhere".

Most of the powers the Federal government has seized from the states have been rationalized under the ICC. Like making it illegal for a farmer to grow wheat on his own farm to feed his own animals. [1]

What's your excuse for avoiding the J&J vaccine?
Yeah, my point wasn't really well stated, I think that was why it generated discussion.

Robots exist en masse already, we just don't call them robots, we call them washing machines and dishwashers and factory lines. There's a blurred line in between machines that do stuff and robots.

In discussing the automation revolution, I like to think the difference is robots functioning autonomously (sorry dishwasher, you're not included). While there is still a lot left to do in speeding up repeatable processes, building robots that can run themselves with higher abstract operational input ("build a brick wall") is where the revolution is at.

Robotic tooling plays a huge role in this, unsurprisingly - robots need to do everything humans can do. But... we mostly build human interfaces, not robot interfaces - switches instead of electrical signals, handles instead of joints, etc.

This is for good reason; mass produced robots can't do basic movement, precise placement, etc. (well, not at cost). So robots are extremely limited to being bolted in factories or otherwise constrained environments. But when robots can start to do generalized tasks, I'd be interested in seeing exactly what kinds of autonomous stuff robots will start to do.
So your hang up is the FDA giving full approval? Because recent reports indicate that will likely be happening for the Pfizer vaccine next month.

Somehow I think there will be a major shifting of goalposts by the anti-vax camp around that time.

Not sure what point you are making, but vaccines work and are neutralizing the pandemic in places with sufficient coverage. The Delta variant does spread more aggressively to recovered or vaccinated people, but very, very rarely sends them to the hospital.
