The LAMP(P) abbreviation has been around for a long time and its origin simply comes from the fact that the single components were very popular and powered the majority of the web for a long time, and probably still do to a degree.

MEAN was a marketing thing that Mongo pushed hard for a while trying to position itself as the "modern" and simple noSQL option. I don't know if it came to be naturally and they leaned into it, or it was their doing entirely.

MERN is an adoption of MEAN, and it was only after that I saw these abbreviation become kind of a twitter culture thing, with everyone coming up with their own versions.
> since that evidence is not subject to being hidden and is highly incentivized to find given it would be exculpatory

Why? The wet markets in Wuhan were sterilized and emptied (meaning that the animals inside were removed, killed, and their carcasses disposed of) at the very start of the outbreak - several days before anyone had definitive evidence that SARS-CoV-2 could be transmitted by person to person contact.

I'm sure that the Chinese government would love to have definitive evidence that SARS-CoV-2 is zoonotic, but that evidence likely went up in smoke (January 1st, 2020) weeks before anyone realized that COVID-19 would turn into a legitimate pandemic (January 23rd, 2020).

I did this with my year 2000 Windows laptop ... just shows Apple is 20 years behind on modern technology.
As I discovered in practice, it seems to be a trend with authors of such small-size software to also forgo any kind of documentation: what options are supported by specific commands, what behaviours they exhibit (which sometimes differs between GNU and BSD). The ‘usage’ messages are also terse and cryptic to the max. Doubly baffling when the audience of the software is supposedly corporations building their userspace. Do the authors sell the docs on the side, or what?

Anyway, for users trying to do stuff with these utils, the available paths seem to be either finding StackOverflow answers from others who already messed with their own systems and survived, or being the first to do the trial-and-error.

> Do you enjoy the tabs vs spaces debate? How about single quote Vs double quotes? Ugly inconsistently styled code?

Nim solved tabs/spaces debate by allowing only spaces. Single/double quote are also completely separate, so there is no inconsistency as well. About "inconsistently styled code" - due to style insensitivity, effects are not viral. If you depend on a library that uses `get_name` but your project adopted `getName()` your don't need to suffer.

> Unicode case insensitivity is actually really really complicated

Which is why nim only handles case insensitivity for ASCII identifiers and not Unicode. Which makes sense because 99.9% code is written in ASCII.

> The case insensitivity rules are usually super complicated and don't apply to everything

Quoting from the manual - "only the first letters are compared in a case-sensitive manner. Other letters are compared case-insensitively within the ASCII range, and underscores are ignored." Unicode is not handled in style-insensetive manner, so the rule is pretty simple.

> It makes searching for identifiers harder. For Nim you can't even use case insensitive search because of the underscore thing!

Technically true, but in reality this comes up so rarely, I didn't have any issues with this ever. Nim projects usually adopt camel/pascal case.

For some reason, people often assume that allowing style insensitivity instantly throws the whole language ecosystem in complete disarray and everyone starts writing code mixing every possible style of writing at once, swapping styles on every second identifier just for their amusement.

Your argument is probably the most important and fundamental argument against surveillance there is. The reason it will be ignored is; For a million years our defense against other humans have largely been tribal, what i call the zebra defense, "I'm just like everyone else [in my tribe]", implying that if you pick on me you must also pick on my 'tribe'. This has evolved socially into statements like "I've nothing to hide". And its so deeply ingrained into our nature that we will accept mass surveillance believing that it will only be used against 'enemies' of our 'tribe', criminals, immigrants, etc.

I've found the only compelling argument is to point out that enemies will invariably use the system against us; e.g. you have nothing to hide? You want to hide your children from predators, you location from burglars, your identity from identity thieves, your blood type from gangsters with kidney problems. In short you have everything to hide from someone and a lot of someones are watching you through the surveillance system.

>There are thousands of search results for “Why should I invest in Tether?”

But according to google trends nobody ever googles this, and most results appear to be automatically generated SEO spam or not discussing tether as an investment.

>indicating that general public investors may well expect a profit from their investment in it.

Whether or not such an expectation is reasonable is highly relevant. There cannot possibly be any reasonable expectation of profit as USDT will never be redeemed at above 1 USD, you can only lose money.

You seem to be suggesting that unrelated third parties could turn USDT into a security by lying that it's a great investment. I do not think that's true, I think that's simply fraud perpetrated by the third parties. Some Indian SEO spammer can't possibly be the one to decide if USDT is a security or not.

> Get Rich Quick scam pages sway the general public so easily to invest in it, and why else would these pages exist at all?

This is not actually happening. You can find automatically generated SEO spam pages saying essentially anything, but according to Googles own stats this just isn't a real thing.

> An investment with no profit potential does not attract flies, and investment is not explicitly restricted to businesses that have fiduciary need to use Tether on behalf of non-investors.

You have made zero effort to show that there are actually reasonable people investing in tether with the expectation of earning a profit. So far there's no indication that they exist, it seems extremely unlikely that such a person could exist (they wouldn't be reasonable).

> It’s certainly enough for the SEC to bring it to trial.

The SEC can sue you for any bullshit reason, does not mean that their suit won't be immediately thrown out.

>It’s very thoughtful of you to offer that PDF, but offer it with less “you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about” condescension next time, please.

I had no intention of being condescending by linking that PDF. I had forgotten that it exists, and was happy to find it again as it provides what seems to be the clearest public framework for assessing these things.

I'll admit that I'm a little frustrated to see so many commentators here seemingly using their dislike of Tether to justify the kind of weird mental gymnastics required to argue that the SEC should go after Tether. The SEC is simply not the correct regulator for this, there's no indication that they might be.

I'd get it if there was case law to support some of these crazy interpretations of "expectation of profits", but there isn't.

>if we want to start a new project how could we find programmers well-versed in Nim?

If a programmer can't pick up a language like Nim in a few weekends (from what I gather, it's similar to Python and not much different from most common languages, i.e. not something relatively exotic like Haskell) then I don't know. Our mainly PHP shop transitioned to Go quite effortlessly. Today we hire PHP juniors without any Go experience (easier to find), we teach them, and then they work on Go codebases already after a month of internship. So lack of "professional Nim programmers" doesn't look like a problem to me.

Lack of libraries is a good point but from what I read, Nim compiles to C, so I understand they can have access to tens (hundreds?) of thousands C libraries without writing everything from scratch.

However, indeed, if you are to choose between, for example, Nim and Go for a new project, then I am not sure why would anyone prefer Nim. I'm really interested to know.
Yes, if they would be interested. We hired one developer and 3 weeks later he said it is not what he was looking for (and I was very open upfront on what the work is, a combination of production DBA and development DBA).

How to Write Stories That Are Felt, Remembered and Turned into Action
If you had todays technology and 100 million years to do it it wouldn't be particularly hard. The hard part is getting things done within our lifetime, but that doesn't matter for something like populating a galaxy. Slow ships are just fine, humans can reproduce on the ship. High failure rate and those ships being huge and expensive isn't a problem if you have thousands of years of production to make them.

> Galvano, after describing Iceland and Greenland, writes: “Farther westwards there is another land, named Marckalada, where giants live; in this land, there are buildings with such huge slabs of stone that nobody could build them, except huge giants. There are also green trees, animals and a great quantity of birds.”

The manuscript is real, it is the contents that (IMHO) are senselessly considered "real".

Besides the huge giants, where are the buildings made with huge slabs of stone in Northern America, built before 1300?

If they were so huge to be included in the characterization of this Marckalada, isn't it strange that no traces of them were found?

> Without the left hump purple would still be purple even if that spectrum would no longer be perceived as purple.

Do not quite understand what you're trying to say (sorry, English is not my native language), here is my understanding - without the left hump purple would be still called "purple" but perceived as kind of deep blue (separate from regular blue, but not closer to red as it is perceived now). Is it what you were saying?

> Red and purple are similar since they have many of the same cells getting activated.

And this is the part I do not understand - without the left hump, purple (defined as spectral color with shortest wavelength) would NOT activate many red-sensitive (L) cone cells. Why it would have more similarities in cell activation to magenta (defined as red + blue) then? What specifically would cause L-cones input ignored in this case?
When used for productive things debt is good otherwise it is bad. Growing debt can indicate growing trust and confidence in the future. Growing debt can also indicate over confidence and blindness about the future. Economies have debt cycles: https://youtu.be/PHe0bXAIuk0

Inflation is the economy’s rate of debt forgiveness. Bad when high but good when low but above zero. Without it economies get clogged by debt. A slow rate of debt forgiveness is more economically efficient than bankruptcies or debt jails. Inflation also combats sticky prices by forcing contracts to be regularly renegotiated to supply demand prices. For example wages are hard to adjust down and having inflation do that automatically few % per year is more economically efficient than having to fire workers and replace them.
It's weird have to conclude that none of the biomining having been done in the last decade has provoked clear and binary opinions on its legality. You can mine features on pictures you don't even own and those people you don't even know (or asked for consent). It's entirely legal.

Metadata is taken in masses to surveil us all.

But there's no one calling for an outright ban or regulation of such things. Or let's say it's far from mainstream and only a tiny minority that does. The usual arguments are always balanced as in: "yeah but if it was forbidden, we couldn't do X anymore."

On the other side, for some tech that isn't unconsentual exploitive like crypto currencies people just simply feel like shutting it down. Here, though it arguably has use cases too, nobody cares. If it's a security in the US, it'll get shut down no questions asked.
Right...if you think of color as RGB as you do (which is simplified, but mostly correct), it makes this concept a lot clearer.

As the article mentions, Metaflow will start supporting Kubernetes natively soon, although data scientists don't need to care about it :) Nothing changes in your Metaflow code when you move e.g. from AWS to Azure, so Metaflow isn't fundamentally dependent on AWS in any way.

Nim is actually one of the fastest to compile out of the compiled languages out there, on par with Go. Although this is a bit subjective, I think a second of compilation is good enough for light scripting tasks. (And being a statically-typed languages it catches a good chunk of errors before compilation is finished.)

Nim's advantage is that it uses a good old C compiler for the backend (which has been hyperoptimized for decades), but the frontend (transpiler) is also pretty fast. Nim's compilation speed should improve a bit when incremental compilation support is added (which would probably solve a lot of other current issues for Nim, for example better IDE tooling)
