Friction-Less Scala
I understand that. However, that's not something I find easy to explain to a someone who doesn't understand that. The analogy is a little distant.

For example, "some efficiency loss" is complex and a little bit inaccurate. It's not just efficiency loss:

- In the mechanical analogy, I can extract infinite power from a board moving at a given speed. There is no upper bound on the force the board can apply to me.

- In the case of a fan, there is an upper bound on the power which can be extracted given a specific air speed, even given perfect efficiency.

Now, it's possible to correctly argue that as the fan size increases, I can make a closer and closer to this analogue. However:

- Once you start making arguments like that, cognitive load increases, and beginners start to drop off. You need to keep more and more steps in your head.

- And more often than not, an imprecise argument simply reinforces or introduces some misconception, rather than giving an honest understanding.

I think a force*distance argument (which is probably a clearer way of stating the argument I was making above) has the virtues of:

1. Being 100% precise

2. Being compact enough someone who understands force, power, and energy can keep the whole argument in their head

The metaphor isn't that bad. The interpretation is bad. The claim that measuring inflation (1) between last year's prices in pounds and this year's prices in pounds, or (2) between last year's prices in pounds and this year's prices in yen, differ in any significant way, is a bit of nonsense that should discredit the author. The entire concept of inflation is that the value of the monetary unit differs from year to year, and you want to find out what the difference is.

And similarly, the notion that British grades from this year can't be compared to British grades from two years ago is also nonsense. They are fundamentally similar phenomena and they can be compared. For political reasons, much less data was collected this year. That doesn't mean this year's data is different in kind. It means this year's data is low-quality.
As a Rust beginner, I would never assume code I write to not be executed, or cut out by the compiler. I know this sometimes happens, but I wouldn't count on it for lack of understanding. I don't think that's anyone's expectation who doesn't know the inner workings well, really.

The simplicity of the attack vectors here that would trigger the “manual” investigation is just dumbfounding and ripe for abuse/misuse.

On the contrary, in practice you can't solve them any other way!

There is a place where "a visionary founder with technical ability and clear view of the UI they want" no longer aligns with what we can provide. It can turn into a soul-destroying farce just like a "growing company admits as many middle-managers as there are designers/engineers" simply because The Visionary woke up one day and decided that "this UI we have is shit". Combine it with the Russian approach to "find the closest person responsible and punish them the hardest way possible" and you get the setup you have described.

Be very careful when putting your trust in visionaries.

It actually creat another kind of pollution away from the cities but very harmful because it pollute water wile lythium is being extracted for battery production. This is not a sustainable solution because it just change the where and how pollution is done. Creating problems elsewhere to solve problems in the cities is not a positive way.
The main issue is the curriculum and exams emphasize this kind of rote learning (across the board, not just in maths: one stupid reason for this is many of the markers for the exams don't actually have any qualifications in the subject they're marking and need to be able to just pattern-match off a mark sheet). And because teachers and schools are judged so heavily on exam results, they are not just incentivised but basically forced to 'teach the test' as opposed to trying to get the students to actually learn anything, even when they are otherwise motivated and capable of doing so.

I went to a quite high-performing school, and it wasn't unusual to have a year be 60% 'getting through the curriculum', 20% 'teaching interesting things about the subject', 20% 'exam prep', and that 20% in the middle only existed because of the extreme priviledge of both students and teachers good enough to keep up with that pace and a level of enthusiasm for the subject which allowed for teaching stuff 'not on the test'.

> Does giving a K idiom a name make it clearer, or does it obscure what is actually happening?

There's a balancing act around that. It's called "abstraction".

At some point, you cannot afford to know what's actually happening. If you try, the entire problem won't fit in your head. So you cut the thing you're working with to a name and an interface, and forget what's "actually happening". You do that right in the K code, because you e.g. cut your understanding of `/` to "fold the array with the preceding operation", and totally don't think about the way it's implemented in the machine code.

This, of course, does have a cost; the simplest case is inefficiency, worse are circuitous ways to arrive to logically the same result, when a much simpler way exists.

I'd argue that `/` or `+` are very much names, of the same nature as `fold` or `add`, just expressed shorter. So if you prefer point-free style, you can likely do a very similar thing in, say, Haskell (and some people do).

I'd hazard to say that APL and J are DSLs for array / matrix numeric code. They allow to express certain things in a very succinct way. What APL traditionally had, mmm, less than ideal experience was I/O, because the language is not optimized for the branchy logic required to handle it robustly. K is a next step that allows to escape into "normal-looking" language with long names, explicit argument passing, etc when you feel like it.

Also, I love this idea: «APL has flourished, as a DSL embedded in a language with excellent I/O. It's just got weird syntax and is called Numpy.» (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17176147) The ideas behind APL / J / K are more interesting than the syntax, and haven't been lost.

For experiments, it's not unusual that the actual test is taking place in atmosphere. There is no issue as you can simply put a solid metal cap on the end of the accelerator and the beam will just blast through it with no issue and the atmosphere isn't going to slow it down significantly over the next few meters.
Yeh they have this feature built into chrome. I liked it, in fact I liked it so much that I kept using it, and once again it became an unmanagable mess that I would avoid for things that are actually want to read later. Over time, this would become for things I kind of want to read later. At this point, I don't even remember the last time I used it.

Tabs work because whenever you are using the browser, they're always in front of you. If you have too many and you know you won't go back and read the next thing thats important to you, you just go through and trim the old ones down (which, as a side note, is much easier than deleting bookmarks).

Is it a discipline problem? Absolutely, but for so many people, myself included, tab discipline is not particularly high on the endless todo list.

This is great. I feel the urge to delete all the brittle vuex crap from my vue3 ts projects right now.
I've largely worked with Vue 2 in recent years over React. Primarily moved just to try and reduce front end bloat, and stuck because I preferred some of the patterns—personally I found them easier to reason around than some of the popular React patterns.

I really liked The Vue class component pattern. Localized styles, logic, and markup, coherent state management built-in.

The tooling got more bloated in time, but it was still a breeze to work with.

I'm now trying to catch up with React again as industry tends to dictate—so far so good, but I liked the "pure"/Vue-flavoured HTML markup approach of Vue over JSX. It seemed to have all the benefits of JSX a la close-coupling in class components, but saves the wonky half-flavour of markup/logic—especially when it comes to working in TypeScript.

That said, maybe my tune will change after I spend more time in the React ecosystem again—especially trying to make more use of server-side rendering.
You may not find this specifically addressed in a contract. Instead, there may be a generic statement about personal use.

"Personal" use implies limits of some sort imposed by the carrier --- often as they see fit. A person can't reasonably compose and send SMS at a rate of more than 3 or 4 per minute on average.
Yes. This reminds me of when typing or receiving certain text would make an iPhone crash. But now having your account deleted makes it a feature. For example Whatsapp automatically downloads media to the camera roll which then get uploaded to iCloud. Of course that can be turned off prior, but this is like what happens with backing up. People want to backup, but don't invest the time in it. That's until it's too late, they lost their data and now want their stuff back.
