> Minimalism is about avoiding excess junk that you don't need

This is a very shallow heuristic. “Stuff you’ll need over a lifetime” has a very long tail that requires a balance in trade-off between just-in-time availability vs waiting two days of Amazon shipping; throwing things away once done vs inventorying them at home etc.

Turns out one is particularly shitty for the environment while being revitalizing for the current economy; throw-away-ism is not feasible at the planet scale; there is only so much raw material you can extract and process without paying attention to recyclability, very little of which is factored into pricing.

“The true minimalism” would be a lifestyle change that minimized throw-awayism too, while the popular minimalism is a petite bourgeois fashion that hinges on it.

A good example to this ideal is ISS; it looks cluttered but that's as good as a minimalist space can get when you have to inventory everything you'll need locally and have true constraints on bringing in useless mass of materials onboard.
Actually it's not edge case.
The IBM i (formerly AS/400) platform, despite its popularity over several decades as a server for business applications—and its importance in computing history as an example of features such as object-oriented, single-level storage—doesn’t have a comprehensive, generally-available emulator, as far as I know.

For anyone outside IBM, developing one might be difficult: neither the original, low-level CISC instruction set used through the 1990s, nor the PowerPC AS extension to the POWER architecture that replaced it, has been fully described in public documentation.

> Normally, this means that spf.messagingengine.com has its own SPF DNS record, which will probably list some valid IP addresses that emails can be sent from. There's also one for Mandrill, for transactional emails. You can have as many of these as you want.

This isn't strictly true (that you can have as many as you want), because SPF has a (IMO) very silly hard limit of 10 DNS lookups per record. From RFC 7208:

> Some mechanisms and modifiers (collectively, "terms") cause DNS queries at the time of evaluation, and some do not. The following terms cause DNS queries: the "include", "a", "mx", "ptr", and "exists" mechanisms, and the "redirect" modifier. SPF implementations MUST limit the total number of those terms to 10 during SPF evaluation, to avoid unreasonable load on the DNS. If this limit is exceeded, the implementation MUST return "permerror".

We see this not infrequently at Fastmail, when customers report DMARC validation problems, and the answer turns out to be that they've got too many includes in their SPF records, so SPF always fails.
This is very odd argument, in the name "equality" anyone should be able to open account in your name?

Keep in mind that it's somewhere between "random" and "intelligent". It's more or less very complicated fuzzy pattern matching.

I do like the idea of generating configuration files, at least as a starting point for users in applications with big complicated configuration set ups. As with all things fuzzy, the output probably won't be perfect, but it might help users save time in getting set up.

It's not unusual for rural and suburban neighborhoods built since the 1970s to bury their powerlines. Even in nowhere Appalachia where I grew up that was very normal.
Grid tie inverters do the same, no power company would allow them otherwise.

Generators don't isolate themselves, a code compliant generator will have a transfer switch that makes it impossible to backfeed the grid.

The problem with generators is that anyone can buy one for a few hundred dollars and hook it up to backfeed their house without a transfer switch because a transfer switch is expensive to install and "I'll never forget to turn off the utility breaker before I turn on the generator"

At least you need to get approval (and inspection?) from the power company before you can utilize net metering with solar, but anyone with basic electrical knowledge (or access to Youtube) and $20 can rig up a suicide cable to backfeed the grid from their generator.

I mean it's not like this type system is exclusive to functional programming. You can tack it on to an imperative language (see rust).

It's mostly the type theory that is hard here but people talk about functional programming because of association thanks in large part to haskell.
There really should be some syntax for jokes on the internet.

Only one laugh I've got for this one…
I guess that's true. Calling an expensive function effectively in the body of a loop like in this example is going to be an issue in every language.

It is difficult to optimise because you need the compiler to evaluate and prove at compile time that both the loop cannot affect the result of the function call and the function call will not affect the loop.

It's a common and easy optimisation to simply move function calls like this out of the loop.

For the cost of 1 line of code I've regularly seen 10%, 100%, 1000% speed ups.

It's actually one of the most common optimisations to do in non-compiled / "slow" languages if you know how functions are evaluated, you see that the cost of a simple getter function call can be the most expensive part of a loop.
Yes. However, it's mostly in "maintenance" programming. Particularly in the way that DOD and safety critical systems are maintained.

It's both a reasonable and unreasonable concept. It's unreasonable because it tries to turn programming into factory work, in fact you may even see them set up workflows predicated on an assembly line concept. This kind of works, and why it's kind of reasonable, when the work is sufficiently well-understood. It's very common in these systems to have a very detailed specification. Often the defects are deviations from the specifications that got through because of the manner in which these were classically tested (primarily integration tests, often manual, necessarily restricting the scope of the testing regimen). Other defects are realizations that the specification itself has an issue (happens), often the result of a dependence on a prose format for the specification which doesn't lend itself well to formal analysis. It also tends to, well, become wordy. 1000 page specs are not unheard of even for relatively small systems, you can imagine there may be quite a few pieces of conflicting information in there.

But if we always look at the past and try to recreate it, then we'll not allow great things of the future to come.

There are legitimate ways the past was better, but that's usually rooted in a belief. So hold onto the belief, let go of the past? I do commend those who onto a belief and let go of the past. It's not always easy in a changing future.

Former Portuguese foreign minister Bruno Maçães has the right explanation for all this: The US political system is living in virtual reality and has little to no concept of the real world, and when it does have a limited grasp, it's often in order to make war against reality.

In this particular case, this starts with the Bush admin (that refused to consider that Afghanistan could not be immediately set up as a democracy), to the Obama admin (that recommitted to the war based on 'metrics' with no relation to the real world), to the Trump admin (policy according to the whims and instintics of the then President), to the Biden admin (a spiteful retreat which was almost as-if designed to make the maximum damage).
That limit of ten is extremely easy to meet when someone casually says "Hey we've started using Freshdesk for ticket tracking, setup DNS please". Ok so you include:email.freshdesk.com.
That record itself includes four other freshemail.io DNS lookups, and sendgrid.net, which includes another one. So you're seven DNS lookups in just for that.
Gmail's recommended include:_spf.google.com includes four more, at which point the limit is exceeded and SPF is broken.

It's been a long time since I took my business law classes, so I could be wrong, but I think they part of the test for whether something is false advertising or not is whether a reasonable person would believe the offer is legitimate.

For example, if a dealer has a car worth $20k and they're advertising it for $15k, a reasonable person would probably believe that's a legitimate offer. If that same dealer is advertising that same car for $100, a reasonable person wouldn't believe that is a real offer.

This has grown too long for me to reply to fully, but I want to make one technical clarification. When I say "singularity," I mean that the coefficients blow up (aren't continuous because they shoot toward infinity in finite time). When author of the pdf file you link to writes "singularity," he means "C^1, but not C^2." You might want to re-read my posts above with this in mind.

You seem to have in mind some regularization procedure to get past the singularity. I don't agree this is really a valid solution. It wouldn't satisfy the original ODE! (Note that one can regularize e.g. simple collisions of two of the bodies by changing coordinates, see http://www.math.tifr.res.in/~publ/ln/tifr42.pdf.)

I think you're getting too bogged down in trying to think physical/heuristically here. There's a well-defined math problem, a system of ODEs. It's a theorem that, in the case of a collision, there's a solution on some interval [0, t_0), and as the system approaches t_0, the masses collide and at least one coefficient in the equations blows up, rendering it undefined. You cannot give a solution there (in the original coordinates) because the problem isn't even defined at that point.
