I'm from the '80s, so for me, it's Square One TV, Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego, 3-2-1 Contact, and more.

I mean, just take Square One as an example here. Imagine walking into a TV producers office and saying, "Alright, I want to do a sketch comedy variety show that is very loose spoof of 'Saturday Night Live', except that it's entirely about math and aimed at 10 year olds."

And they actually put it on the air! Amazing.

I have to be very careful with nostalgia here, but it certainly seems like PBS has really lost a lot of the clout that it once had. Certainly for me it was immensely valuable.

Algol 60 had lexical scoping in 1960 (while Lisp was in development) and this was known to be equivalent to the lambda calculus by the folks working on it by 1965 or so -
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/363744.363749

I think the consensus is that Scheme was the first Lisp to fully embrace lexical scope, in 1975?

When you get to instruction X, "size cache" says "size 2", and this allows you to process instruction X+2 in parallel.

You look at instruction X+2, and "size cache" says "size 4", which allows you to look at instruction X+6 in parallel. Finally, you look at instruction X+10, and it says "size 8", which ends with +18 as where the instruction pointer ends.

This was sequentially described at first, but the parallel version is called Prefix Sum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_sum . This allows you to take a set of sums (like say 0, 2, 4, 8) and in parallel, figure out [2, 6, 10, 18], with 18 being the new location of the instruction pointer, and [0, 2, 6, 10] being the 4 instructions you process this clock tick.

A parallel adder across say, 32-bytes would be able to perform this prefix sum very quickly, probably within a clock tick. These sorts of parallel structures (aka: butterfly circuits) are extremely common in practice, your carry-lookahead adders need them, as well as PDEP / PEXT. Intel's single-cycle PDEP/PEXT is way more complicated than what I'm proposing here, I kid you not. (Seriously, the dude who decided to make single-clock cycle PDEP/PEXT or single-clock cycle AESRound would have spent more time than the size-cache that Intel is now using on instruction decoding)

I definitely thought the conclusion was going to be something like: "We need to loop over every day to count Thursdays, because of calendar shenanigans in August 1632 in Russia and February 1295 in the Holy Roman Empire, which caused there to be 0 and 21 Thursdays, respectively." Maybe I've read too many "Falsehoods Programmers Believe about X" articles.

(The exceptions mentioned are made up. I don't know of any month that had a number of Thursdays other than 4 or 5.)
I'm not up to date with the current official narrative, but I can only assume it's that there was a large picnic that day and someone accidentally spilled a giant jar of raspberry jam.

The theoretical energy expended to move an object tends toward zero, without limit, as the allowed time increases. Which is almost the same thing.

(Allowing it to take 12 billion years to move an inch is rather useless, but that's the same issue with the ephemeralization argument in general: it ignores all other measures of "cost".)
You missed:

> Therefore, we absolutely must do both, but not relying on earth is both less expensive and higher priority.

I was very clear we must do both.

Thus:

* If we fail at fixing the rot, and we do not gain a new nest, we go extinct

* If we fail at fixing the rot, but gain a new nest, we avoid extinction

* If we fix the rot, but do not gain a new nest, we avoid extinction

* If we do both successfully, we avoid extinction

Out of four outcomes, two of the three successful scenarios all involve gaining a new nest.

Exactly. The idea that you can't make an engine that runs on unleaded is rediculous. Airliners for example don't use leaded.

Yes, planes 50 years ago -> maybe those were designed for leaded. But the idea that we are selling new planes, today, that "only" run on leaded gas is a farce and goes to show how seriously aviation is taking the transition away from leaded gas (which has been delayed as I've said decades).

At some point you just lose patience.

I feel like this discussion devolved into "what is art?", while completely missing my original thesis. Of course every image this app produces is art. But that's the point... art is infinitely broad, and the art that this app produces is trivially narrow. So this isn't an argument about art, but instead well-designed surveys.

The only possible conclusion one can draw from this app isn't "what are people's art preferences?", but instead "what are people's drawn-in-ten-seconds-in-mspaint preferences?"

The app would just as accurately gague people's art preferences if it presented only photos of shoes.
There's a very quick way to figure out the day of the week for a given date (dd/mm/yyyy) using Zeller's Congruence[0].

So does the (bad, i.e. intentionally misleading) Forbes piece.

It's plainly shit judging just from what's in the piece itself, and it's written by an explicitly, as noted in the piece biased author. Is there a better piece on this? Everything else I could find was on very sketchy sites and repeated the same stuff. Of course since the numbers themselves, as gathered by an organization run by the person writing the piece, don't tell the story the article wants you to think it's telling, I think it's a fair guess that no such "good version" of this piece exists.

That really depends on what you mean by "casual users". It's a lot of overhead for someone who isn't familiar with LaTeX already.

Of course for professional typesetting or many complex equations LyX will win, but truly "casual" use it isn't close IMO.

To me it looks like an extension, or progression, of some of my favorite Money paintings just based on the colors, composition, and visible strokes alone. I don't have a problem admitting i like aesthetic art and I just like the colors & composition

But i do also 'feel' emotion in it, also reminds me of a darker degas dancers in the shapes/movement.

when evaluating this kind of art one should look at the time and history when it was made.

One of the other commenters mentions his sad personally history, I think a lot of it related to loss in the Armenian Genocide and how to express those emotions.

maybe start the timeline looking at impressionism, post impressionism. i mentioned monet above as an example, one of my favorite artists ever - if you're in paris check out the orangerie...

One way to look at it - and there are a billion ways that's kid of the point of AbEx - is to draw a line from realism -> invention of photography -> huge changes in society, intellectualism, e.g. look at the paris school of artists of the time -> which is all majorly blunted by war -> which leads to a specific culture many early and contemporary artists rebel against. they want to express their own unique personality.

All of this re imagining what art is and what composition can be with no restraints of trying to be 'realistic,' since you can't beat a photo.

But that just one simplistic take of history.

In the US people are more pro-company and anti-government so retention policies tend to require the companies to retain the data for a period of time so warrants can request it if necessary.

In the EU people are more pro-government and anti-company so the government is more likely to have access.

The US process for access is sometimes tied to FISA.

I'm not an expert on this stuff, but I think I'd generally prefer companies handling retention and government having to request access rather than the other way around. Assuming (probably a big assumption) that the companies do it securely and don't fuck it up.

Yeah, I think people differ a lot over this. E.g. there are lots of people who seem to want as much info in their shell prompts as possible, and all sort of system resources monitors on display all the time. I'm not an extremist on this -- not having current dir, current branch and an indicator of unstaged changes in my shell prompt would make me uncomfortable -- but I share your suspicion that there's an inverse correlation between wanting unnecessary context on view and experience/skill as a software engineer.

They were charged with revising the Articles of War in regard to espionage directed against the American forces. The problem was an urgent one: Dr. Benjamin Church, chief physician of the Continental Army, had already been seized and imprisoned as a British agent, but there was no civilian espionage act, and George Washington thought the existing military law did not provide punishment severe enough to afford a deterrent.

My (mostly layperson's) understanding is that our laws of physics demand that causality would be broken; it's not taken as an axiom.

Because of how the three dimensions of space and one dimension of time are put together, you can think of there being a balance or trade between motion in space and motion in time. If you aren't moving in space, you're moving through time at the maximum possible "rate". The more rapidly you move through space, the slower you move through time. This trade bottoms out at "c", at which point you're not moving through time at all. (Since motion is impossible without time passing, "c" itself is unachievable; you can only approach it asymptotically. Something about massless particles makes "motion" not a thing in the first place, I think, meaning they can actually propagate at exactly "c" as seen by an observer.)

You can visualize this as a dial on an X-Y graph which starts out pointing in the Y direction, and as you speed up, it turns more toward the X direction. When you're pointing completely in the X direction, you're moving "at the speed of light", purely in space and not at all through time. If you turn the dial even further, you're trading some of that speed back for motion in time... but in the opposite direction.

Of course, this is all super-handwavey; most importantly, velocity has to be measured relative to an observer, so all of this about rates has to be anchored relative to an observer. (But this is also precisely why massless particles propagate at the same rate regardless of observer -- insert timey-wimey Doctor Who reference.)

Greg Egan has a lovely trilogy, Orthogonal, set in a universe where space and time don't have this trade (formally, the sign on the time variable in some critical equation is flipped to match the spatial dimensions). He has some great material on the exact physics of such a world. [0]

You're only thinking of it from the point of view of the dissatisfied person. Put yourself in the shoes of the person "messing with your night rest" without demonizing them. But why do you already have laws and bylaws for that sort of thing if you want to punish people for offenses that explicitly fall below the level of what the law disallows?

My concern is the kind of problem that happens in abusive workplaces, school bullying, abusive relationships, etc. Without rules, the powerful people slowly edge the victims out by always finding something they're doing "wrong". The victim may even believe it and keep trying to please but eventually be expelled anyway.

> Is this a case of Gell-Mann amnesia

No. First, whether the charges are overcharged or not is irrelevant; the matter in debate was specifically the claim that the most serious charges alleged were illegal parading.

Second your post relies on treating “the commenters” as a unitary entity; unless the specific commenters involved tended to argue that DoJ systematically overcharges, there would be no inconsistency even if the charges were offered to support the dangerousness of the insurgents rather than to rebut a false claim about the charges.

Belgian law, if I am not mistaken, requires that every Belgian (European?) Inhabitant has access to a basic package. The bank can deny access to credit etc, but an account and a (normal debet) bank card are a right.
