> If you played these games a bit, you could get good at it and finish the game on one credit, playing for 30 minutes or even 45 minutes on one coin.

This varies a bit depending on the game, but it’s safe to say that the average play on an average arcade game is much less than 30 minutes per credit. For example, one game of Dance Dance Revolution typically consists of three 90 second songs with the option of earning a fourth bonus song as a reward for skill. Factoring in sixty seconds for menus between songs a player will play between 7-10 minutes a credit. This number is much closer to what the average game targets. You’ll see similar numbers in pinball and racing games.

Seems fairly different from reMarkable; they both use e-ink displays and they both support pens, but I’d say that’s about the extent of the similarity.

reMarkable has focused very tightly on its writing niche to the exclusion of other things, and it shows: the pen-to-screen gap is small, the surface is pleasant to write on (not paper but not awfully far off it and certainly not glass), pen-to-screen latency and performance is finely tuned throughout in the software and hardware (for writing, it performs better than competitors with double the single-core performance and quadruple the cores), it doesn’t have speakers, the processor isn’t very powerful at all, it has very little memory or storage by current standards, that kind of thing. They’ve done a good job with the experience; I really enjoy using my reMarkable.

Meanwhile, PineNote has a hardened glass surface (leaving achieving a paper-like surface to third-party films), is at 7mm thicker than the reMarkable (6.7mm) and reMarkable 2 (4.7mm), has speakers, has lots of storage, has a powerful CPU, has lots of memory, has a frontlight (yay!), has a bigger battery (4Ah, against reMarkable and reMarkable 2’s 3Ah) supports a pen but in a way that feels like an afterthought, and isn’t concerning itself with the software side of things at all. They’re producing a device for developers to see what they do with it, and maybe the developers will help them turn it into something suitable for normal humans.

I suspect I’m still going to get one.
> ensure new requests have the latest value within a second.

That's the point: nobody said permission updates have to happen within a second. They are performed infrequently, so the system can afford to make them slow.
Yep. Dependency: a task that needs to be finished before the current one.
A dependent task is always lower priority than its required task.

Dependency and priority are both levers to be able to choose the right task to do (perhaps adding an importance level?)

A task that depends on unfinished ones cannot be proposed by the system.
Between two possible tasks, the priority one will be presented first (or perhaps a computation with priority, importance and duration?)

Edit: bad autocorrect
Regardless of the rating, the risk is entirety different, since vehicles almost always depreciate, and do so faster than the debt is paid off, whereas people expect real estate to appreciate long term.

Even a highly rated vehicle note is still based on the fact that the asset will fully depreciate somewhat in line with the outstanding debt.

What about reusing containers for drinking water that you would otherwise dispose of? I've been using yogurt bottles for my drinking water for a while now.

No extra resources wasted to produce a fancy water bottle, and you don't need to worry too much if you lose it.
I don't think so. To be sure, familiarly can make things easier. So APL looks complex until you get used to it.

However, intercal is designed to be purposefully incomprehensible. You can make it (objectively) incrementally less complex by removing the "please" rule, for example. Similarly you can make it objectively more complex (in a way that nobody can get used to) by randomly choosing a number at compile time and then requiring every file to have a "please" on that line.

Familiarity can make complexity easier to deal with but there exists objective complexity that (all things being equal) will make things easier to deal with if it were addressed.
Security through obscurity can absolutely be an important layer of a defense in depth strategy. It's just useless as the only layer.

Bottled water is too cheap and convenient. The people living today won't even have to deal with any real consequences to the environment. Give people a reason to care, while first accepting that, on the whole, people don't care about future generations of life on this planet.
There is also the reality that looking at things in that positive light tends to surface opportunities, more than looking at things negatively.

If you’re feeling like you’re doing well (despite the occasional hiccup) and will be successful, it’s easier to be open to a new advisor, or a new employee, or a new investor. If you’re constantly obsessed with how it is going wrong, you’re constantly going to be focused on how these too could be a disaster.

As with many things in life, it’s a balance. If you never recognize a risk, or recognize bad decisions as what they are and the factors behind them, then you’ll get scammed a lot or constantly be blundering around repeating mistakes (potentially). If you hyper focus on them, you’ll cut off all your opportunity and be constantly trying to guard an ever shrinking pie.
I misplace water bottles on a regular basis. So I buy bottled water and re-fill the disposable bottles until they get lost.

The article wholey ignores the costs of production for non-disposable water bottles. They absolutely take more resources to produce and you thus need to refill any given water bottle a certain number of times before you break even with disposable bottled water. For absent minded folks like me, constantly buying replacement bottles can be a worse impact on the environment.

Absolutely not. Remember what happened in Flint, MI? Moreover, there can be hyperlocal differences in water quality due to factors outside of a water utility's control, such as old pipes.

The best approach is to find an independent, non-government associated testing facility and send them your water for a fee. They have high-end equipment that no consumer would reasonably want to acquire and will provide unbiased results.

No, not debatable. Unless you debate with alternative facts
The city may well test tap water and find it to be safe, but this testing wouldn't account for contamination that happens downstream from their systems, e.g. caused by poor building plumbing.
Yes, technically string.split() is a parser, but even in C it's two lines of code you really don't need a lot of parser theory to write:

for (start = end; *start && isspace(*start); start++);
for (end = start; *end && !isspace(*end); end++);

I mean you can golf it a lot farther than that, but it's very little code even written perfectly straightforwardly like that without any tricks.

One of the strong points of having your syntax be "operators are separated by spaces" is that it's impossible to have invalid input.

You say, "The whole point of a compiler is to allow developers to write code in a higher-level language that allows them to express programming constructs easily, and verify and validate input to help pinpoint errors." Well,
Forth is a higher-level language that allows you to express programming constructs easily, but it is not very good at verifying and validating the program to help pinpoint errors. However, I think most of the reason it's bad at validating is not because of its syntax (or lack thereof), but its semantic model: no types, everything is Turing-complete, referential opacity, etc. Forth's semantics opt for maximum flexibility at the cost of analytical tractability.

I don't know about you, but I enjoy actually running my programs more than verifying and validating them, so I would not agree that your work is already done once you get to an AST. And I would say that a parser that produces an AST is not a compiler.
I bet our descendants don't agree with you.

Re-using "grey water"[1] as the source for "black water" is a big theme in permaculture,[2] which originated in Australia, a famously dry continent.

You absolutely can do that, regulations permitting. There are a few gotchas though, so do your research.

The longer I look at this example, the more weirdness I spot:

- There are no standard integer types that take 15 (decimal) digits to represent.

- The array contains ints instead of chars

- Why would you use fgets() instead of just gets()? (Though I don't touch C very often so perhaps that is considered proper style)

- Obviously no conversion of the digits into else, let alone specifying a base or handling a `0x` prefix for hexadecimal or a minus sign for negative numbers.

Yes, this happens in SF. Some people inherited or built their house, owe nothing on it, and want to sell it onward to another family (not an investor, REIT, etc). One of our friends bought a house this way - off market.

Some people also don't do offer dates so they accept the first good offer that comes along - we just bought a house in SF this way for 50k over asking. The sellers were moving across the country, had lots of equity, so their concern was getting the sale wrapped up ASAP.

FWIW our realtor was also going to show us an off-market property from a friend who renovated houses. This friend is self-funded so his concern is getting a good return even before the reno is complete so he can buy the next fixer-upper. I assume this is because he can't control when those houses come up for sale so he needs to buy them when they're available. That can present cash flow and financing problems for a small operator.

Incremental progress is helpful when you do not know in which direction you need to go but leads you only into local maxima. Sometimes you know how to get closer to the global maxima and you have to do that, otherwise competition will do it and leave you behind.

While this is an impressive technical achievement, it's worth taking a step back to ask why IAM needs to serve 400M API calls every second when AWS has between one and two million active users. How would this number change if IAM were less complex?

Edit: I understand how every machine needs to invoke IAM APIs and how temporary credentials and other uses increase the number super-linearly with every active user. Still, 400M RPS (nearly 35B requests/day) could be reduced significantly by improving the underlying object model so it scales down better. Right now, even a simple Lambda function that needs to access other AWS resources requires 3 API calls: create a policy, create a role, and connect the two.

This article had a cursory description of the patent(s) that was (were) allegedly violated:

https://www.engadget.com/sonos-google-itc-compliant-initial-...

Looks like the primary, initial complaint was around the tuning feature for the speakers. There is a link to subsequent complaints.

If you have a Sonos, when you first set up a speaker you use wave your mobile around while the speaker emits a tone and your phone mic sends it feedback on how to optimize the sound.
There are some differences too, though.

- There is no expectation that a car should increase in value over time (except for collectibles), whereas there was and still is an expectation that houses should increase in value over time.

- Because of that, there is no such thing as interest-only, negative-amortization, or option ARM car loans. Those products were the worst-performing mortgage loans from the financial crisis.

- For a lot of Americans the biggest component of their net worth is the equity in their house, so a house price crash wiped out most of their net worth. Most Americans have little to no equity in their cars, so a car price crash would help more Americans that it hurt.

Will a lot of these loans default if there's an economic downturn? Of course, but as long as there isn't a "repo man moratorium", investors will still recover most of their principal.

Now, if Goldman Sachs is selling derivatives on these car loans, that's a whole different story.
GP is correct. There are zero side-effects inside a pure program. All the side-effects happen outside it, in a "runtime" (a better name IMO is "imperative shell") that exists totally separate from the program. The main() function of a pure program executes completely and terminates before any side effect has a chance to happen.

I put quotes around runtime because it's not a runtime like an interpreter in dynamic languages, or a library that you can call from inside your pure program. This runtime just calls your main() function, which return a complex value (it's a chain of lambdas, to spoil it) that is interpreted by this runtime or "imperative shell".

I understand this sounds unintuitive and might seem very confusing, but this is what makes useful pure programs possible. These couple presentations show how this type of boundary between imperative and functional code works with simpler type of program [1]. The only difference is that Haskell's "imperative shell" is lower-level than the presenter's. It only deals with IO, etc, whereas the presenter's imperative shell also has some domain code.
