Oh boy. The author desperately wants to avoid showing equations (or even correctly naming the Navier Stokes equations), and gets rid of the physics along the way. No, fluids can absolutely be compressible, and incompressible fluids absolutely have pressure differences.

Avoid. There are so many great resources out there that show you how to implement simple fluid solvers while teaching you something physically relevant.

Many will brush it off as a bad paper, but there's always the risk of someone using this as evidence to give people false hope.

Which is a pretty shitty thing to do in my opinion.
I've always had a similar experience to this and also don't believe it is the same thing as either aphantasia or prosopagnosia.

I can consciously imagine things (and people and places) that I'm not seeing right now. I'm not super-great at it, but I can certainly do it. I can also easily and reliably recognize individual people.

But the idea of describing any individual detail of people's appearance even while looking at them (let alone from memory) seems extraordinarily difficult for me, and has since childhood. My stepmother was an artist and would sometimes try to question me about this, suggesting that I could learn to do it but hadn't.

I think I agree with other comments in this thread that conscious awareness of visual details in a scene is a separate skill from any form of recognition or recall -- especially, or most dramatically, for faces, but really for any visual percept as well. Maybe for any sensory perception: for example, I could imagine someone who can recognize individual voices, or musical instruments in a performance in which several different instruments are present, but who can't describe what makes one different from another (perhaps not even at the level of which instrument or voice has a higher-pitched fundamental tone than another's?).

I think I rely a ton on my visual system's chunking and abstraction and usually have little to no conscious awareness of any individual visual detail (especially for faces, but really for anything), unless I make some active effort to bring visual details to consciousness. I remember telling a friend in high school that I usually experienced visual scenes in a kind of wireframe summary by default (although this is just a metaphor, since I don't mean to deny that I noticed colors or textures), which she also found surprising and unfamiliar.

Edit: Like another commenter in this thread, my stepmother often recommended Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain to me, so maybe I should work through it and try to develop my ability to notice visual features without interpreting them. :-)

I certainly don't think something needs to be an unqualified good to be worthwhile. However, I often see very little nuance in the presentation of unions; either its proponents present it as an unqualified good, or its opponents present it as an unmitigatable cost.

I was originally going to reply with:

> My life, by proxy to the afflictions of my loved ones, has certainly been made worse by bad unions. I like the idea of unions, but...

I mention this to make visible the reflective opportunity our exchange granted me. Yes, my loved one have been afflicted by (bad) unions, but it also seems to me that the proposed benefits of unionization are inherently distributed and therefore likely invisible at the individual level, whereas the harm engendered by bad management (union or otherwise) is hypervisible at the individual level. Thus, the good done for my loved ones by their unions isn't so easily measured, while the harms done by poor union management makes itself as easily known as the harms by enterprise's management.

I'll have to do more thinking and reading on how to gain a better perspective. It seems to me that attaining a measurement of the good done by their unions is further complicated by how relative said goods must be and yet there often aren't easy counterfactuals to refer to. Intuitively, it seems that aggregate data would give a false perspective.

Any advice or recommendations along these lines would be helpful. I remember there was a cybernetics program to engender a science of management and organizational development; I might start there, to learn principles of analysis as opposed to blindly groping for data to mash together.
Keep in mind that a gas is roughly 1000x larger than an equivalent solid mass.

So take all the food grown on Earth in a year, multiply it 100x, and multiply that 1,000x, to come up with the volume of gas you'd be dealing with sequestering somehow.

Gas doesn't like being sequestered, less so for hundreds or thousands of years. (Natural gas formations are interesting accidents of geological history in which sufficient source material, methane conversion of that material, and a geological substrate in which that gas is trapped in the earth, all coincide.) There's also the fact that eventually re-introducing that gas to the biosphere is probably beneficial (on the order of tens to hundreds of millions of years), as biologically-active carbon is weathered out of the system (though solar irradiance will also be increasing over this period, and by various accounts, the happy music stops in about 800 million to 1 billion years).

It really is difficult to convey the volumes of resources humans use on an annual basis. Vaclav Smil's books on the topics of energy and material resource uilisation are highly recommended, especially Making the Modern World:

Some context incase you're not used to Bay Area Big Co. Compensation:

1. Indeed, Glassdoor and other mainstream sites are useless and at best report outdated base salaries. Use levels.fyi or teamblind.com for more realistic data.

2. 50% or more or the compensation at these companies is in RSUs. These companies have performed remarkably well over the past decade. Folks who have had exposure to their stocks as employees have done very well.

3. Half a million dollars a year (before refreshers, etc.) is entirely realistic at the Staff level and at Senior Staff, you're often looking at anything from $700K to low $1MM.

For these companies, the scope and weight of someone at that level of work if impact across millions/billions of users and their actions can make or lose you similar amounts of money.

So what happens in a year or two if, however unlikely it may seem now, bad medium-to-long term effects of the vaccines start to show up?

After spending this much political capital, no one could ever afford to admit that the unvaccinated, especially those who already had COVID, had a point. So would there just be a huge cover-up, or would They (with a capital T) push propaganda that says "The science has changed, but the people who didn't follow the previous science were lucky and unpatriotic!"?

OCaml object system is better than what .NET offers, IMO. On one hand, it enforces clear interface/implementation separation ("classes aren't types"), while structured typing for objects makes this arrangement easy to use in practice. But then there are also powerful features such as multiple inheritance.

The biggest quirk coming from something like Java or C# is that you can't downcast. But classes can still opt into this ability (by using virtual methods + extensible variants) where it makes sense; and in most cases, the presence of downcasts means that a discriminated union is probably a better fit to model something than a class.

The TI calculators have ended up serving American students in a similar way the BBC Micro served British students and now how the Raspberry Pi is serving everybody. "Cheap", ubiquitous, hackable, easy to understand computers.

Many of the developers I know can think back to the first computer they ever wrote a program for, but if you press them, they'll often realize that they actually first wrote software for the TI calcs.

I wish someone had explained the mapping of memory to input/output to me in high school. Had I known it was so straightforward I would have ventured beyond programming BASIC on the calculators.

This is true for anyone making any claim here, including the claim that it is race alone (which i am pointing out is unaccounted for in op post)

I wholeheartedly disagree. It depends on what a culture values and monetary outcomes isnt everything. As an example, American culture is very different from my own (based in EU though ive lived and am frequently in the US). Our culture is generally less work centric, which may look like worse outcomes on paper, but there are so many things that cant be or aren't measured.

But note: for the most part this isn't using regexs, and to the extent it does, it seems largely intended to make the maintainers' lives easier by avoiding having to represent (and maintain) all the permutations they are trying to match for.

What's sad though is that they're doing many, many passes through the pattern matcher, rather than just building a single big DFA from the whole list of patterns they want to match, which gets traversed in one pass.

As someone who cut his programming teeth on TI calculators, I think the fascination from the student side is because it hits a "sweet spot" for casual and budding professional programmers alike:

* It's very easy to get started. The built-in TI-Basic interpreter is fully documented in the manual, and is expressive enough to be useful for a wide variety of imminently useful tasks (e.g. writing programs that help you with your homework) without too much of a time investment. Moreover, your math teacher can likely help you, since they probably also write their own TI-Basic programs.

* It's a "small" system. You can comprehend how everything in the hardware works end-to-end if you make it to C/assembler programming (doable without professional or academic training).

* At the same time, it's a rich and complex enough system that you can make non-trivial games that you and your friends will share and enjoy playing surreptitiously in class.

* Everyone you know has one, which means there's a large online presence and user community to help you get started and who will delight at the programs you write.

TI calculators precede the Raspberry Pi, smartphones, and netbooks, so there was at one point a "nerdy coolness" factor of having a pocket-sized programmable device you could take everywhere. They were also more affordable than Palm Pilots, and since everyone had one, it was less nerdy to be seen using one in school.

Just my two cents.

That's a good point. Sharding has an interesting trade-off. Early on, you don't need it and there's an overhead to distributing work across multiple machines (you're taking an additional network hop). Later when/if you need it, sharding becomes painful to introduce. You may need to change your data model for performance and move data.

For years, I also cautioned against introducing sharding as a premature optimization. Recently, we changed our approach and also introduced sharding on a single VM. I think that offers a pretty good trade-off. If you're interested in this topic, I’d be curious to hear what you think.

> I spend weeks sometimes to deliver a script that deploys an rds database with blah blah blah

It can take a while if you're doing it the first time. Once you get used to the CF ideas it's a couple hours max. But keep in mind how that compares to: setting it up by hand, documenting the process so others know it, tagging the relevant services according to project, redoing the process in a while when RDS deprecates your currently running version, redoing it again when you need to change the db instance sizes.

I don't think these are corner cases.

If the user is allowed according with their contract or law to delete their account they should be able to request that themselves from within the app. This is what I understand from what Apple is requiring the apps to do. It is very similar with GDPR "Right to erasure"/"right to be forgotten".

For your specific cases:

- if a user rented something then they should not be allowed legally to close their account until they return or pay the equipment. If that is in the contract then the delete my account button should be disabled until their contract is terminated/closed.

- if you're a dog kennel it is the same, the user should keep the account until the dog is returned.

- if you are a parole division of the police and the "customer" by law can have their records deleted they should be able to do so.
