I don't claim that Elixir is the language to end all languages. My comment was more about the holistic ecosystem that keeps improving. There's one common development and project management tool (Mix). There's one package manager (Hex). There's OTP, Ecto, Phoenix, Liveview, etc. There's the Elixir Forum for questions.

I'd use F# for writing compilers.

Interactive programming is probably better in Common Lisp and also Smalltalk descendants like Pharo. But Elixir has some great interactive tooling. I think this is an excellent presentation that summarizes the capability (not necessarily saying other languages don't) in terms of real world applications: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvBT4XBdoUE

That's kinda like saying Kellogg's can choose to be deceptive.

There's no legal basis for "strawberry Pop-Tarts need more than 2% strawberry". The company is permitted to use cancerous dyes and cheap ingredients, market the shit as wholegrain or whatever, etc.

The more I think about this, the more uncanny how similar our politics is to Pop-Tarts. They've no value or benefit to anyone but shareholders; they're marketed as responsible and balanced despite literally causing cancer; there's a few different flavours but the flavour is a meaningless deception dyed either red or blue.

Totally agree. I think it was badly done. Big waste of lots of millions of dollars; and it blocked the stream for a new version, for two decades.

Not criticising Lynch for having a go; props. I just don't think it worked out. That's how the cookie crumbles for most movies. Nice try.
I don't disagree. I'm not claiming the market achieves total efficiency, just that it tries. Much like a submarine is a bubble of air at pressure of 1 atmosphere resisting much higher pressure outside, it is possible (and even common) for low-efficiency areas to remain stable under market pressure, but the overall gradient is still clear. In contrast, PoW schemes use inefficiency as a fundamental component; they're wasteful by design, and it's considered a feature.
Is carbon directly useful? If I could extract it from the air at a hypothetical zero cost, would there be a market of people wanting to buy my carbon (bricks? powder?)?
Hmm. Did you end up studying differential equations?

I feel like the most clear statement from that article is "it's the base of exponential growth", but that (for a math inclined audience) the best way to show that is via equations like dy/dt = \alpha y.
There are still struggles, but the money part has a material impact. IVF (it took us 7 rounds) is very emotionally draining... but it's likely an order of magnitude less so when money is not a factor.
On Linux you think about hardware compatibility when you buy the hardware, and then in many cases it just works.

I use both systems so I have good comparison, and it is nowhere nearly as clear cut as "On Windows it just works" vs "On Linux you have to invoke unholy incantations to make it work". In some cases it is surprisingly the other way around, where Linux has some standard driver that just works and on Windows you have to install some damned bloatware just to get a fraction of the usability.

Additional context around the human environment when it was built; who was on the team? What was the problem trying to be solved? Does it match the source code commit dates I thought this was built from (i.e., if it was built a year after the commits, there's something going on there)?

I needed this in pathological cases in the first place; think "this stuff dates from when this mature company was just a startup" kinda things. Knowing when it was built wouldn't have changed anything about the executable itself but would have helped with "which strata of old employees should I be hitting up", what other bugs were present, whether we were using a broken compiler at the time, etc.

In a perfect world, sure, none of that would matter, but.... the sibling reply from mentat is right in principle, but in practice sometimes the pathological does happen.

However, if I had to choose between knowing the exact commit and knowing the exact time, I'd certainly choose exact commit, no question. But you don't; you might as well just stick all the data in.

The primary process is how the privately-run political parties select their candidate. Their clear goal is the benefit of the party, not an exercise in democracy.

The same year saw the GOP hold a similar dislike for a particular candidate, with different results. Trump won, but the RNC certainly tried their best to prevent it for a while. No party primary in history is likely to have been entirely fair or impartial.

I watched it with folks new to Dune and they were dazzled by the art. It’s an engrossing film to watch on the big screen and I loved the feeling of being dumped into this fictional world. It is a direct contrast to the modern humanity instilled into all of the Marvel or similar films that use our society as a cultural backdrop for fictional future or alien worlds.

In that vein, it is similar to the book. The book doesn’t provide immediate context. The reader collects the puzzle pieces over hundreds of pages.

I know you can file suit for pretty much anything, but at some point, but what expectation is there for the law to rule based on a woman's perception? It's quite a big leap to prove damages from "I think strawberries will do X..." to "There aren't enough strawberries in this product to do X!". They don't even seem to be claiming that Kellogg contributed to this perception!

The article talks about proper labeling and marketing, which is all well and good, but then, isn't that the jurisdiction of the FDA?

This seems like a waste of time, but I guess if you file 2-3 $5MM lawsuits per week, you're bound to eventually win one of them. It just shows ways to exploit this legal system, I suppose.

Yeah, then in 2004, 30 scientists signed open letter[0] to stop pushing of creationism into physics.

Moreover, it was predicted[1] that dispute between Ether and GR will be resolved in favor of Ether when Higgs boson will be discovered, because continuous Higgs «field» (a medium) must be presented everywhere for Higgs bosons to create mass. Higgs boson was discovered about 10 years ago.

That quote is putting the 20% rate in context, it's not saying that anyone earning over $445,850 would pay it. The legislation still only applies to the ultra-rich, but they'd be using the existing capital gains rate, which is currently 20% for individuals earning over $445,850.
> I doubt most reasonable people would interpret this as indicating strawberries must be a primary ingredient.

This is only because you have become accustomed to industrial food production practices. Because you've been tricked early in life and learned that 'strawberry' doesn't mean the berry and you've just normalized this practice.

If you ever do any cooking of your own you'll know that things like Strawberry Jam is made from taking a pot of strawberries and adding other ingredients. It very clearly is not taking 1 strawberry and adding a pot of strawberry like flavorings.

The real issue is we have crappy consumer protection laws. Companies should be forced to provide truthful advertising practices. E.g. 'Simulated Strawberry Flavor Poptarts' (don't hide the simulated label in tiny print that nobody notices until after the purchase). Another major problem is downsizing packaging, e.g. Orange Juice in a standard size container that is filled only to 90% capacity.

I have nothing against exa, but the two examples in this post are are not correct for any sort of recent system.

> Here’s an example. exa, by default, runs the stat system call on every file it encounters.

So does "ls" ... for at least last 20 years. Just checked on random Ubuntu system I had -- executables and dirs are highlighted with different colors.

> exa makes heavy use of colours, treating them as opt-out rather than opt-in: it will highlight files and data differently based on their type or meaning.

So does ls -- I see colors in default install. Yes, you need an environment variable to enable this, but all the modern distros set this anyway.

So based on that page, it seems that the only thing that EXA does differently is that it upgrades ls's 16 color palette to 256 colors.

I think they need stronger motivation.

It is not irrelevant. Once again, it's about more than individual gains, it's about group gains. A vaccinated person can still carry the virus even if they themselves are relatively fine. Not wanting to be in contact with higher risk people (the unvaccinated) helps prevent the spread of the virus.

> It is strange how the vaccinated seem to be the ones most scared of the disease while the unvaccinated just get on with their lives.

I don't see how that is strange at all. Clearly the vaccinated people are much more likely to consider the virus to be a serious threat as compared to the unvaccinated who tend to brush it off as either a minor annoyance or straight up fake propaganda.

This can be seen in all sorts of other areas. It's the climate scientists who are most scared of climate change, it's the cryptographers who are most scared of broken cryptography, it's the educated who are most scared of drinking from the same river the village pees in.

> People can also find conspiracy theories entertaining – and the more entertaining people find them, it seems, the more likely they are to believe in them.

There is a lot to this. Entertaining can be enough, but often it's entertaining + hatred of a person or group + political manuevering/scapegoating (motive for spreading negative rumors and conspiracies even if a large portion spreading them don't truly believe them, or at least allowing them to more easily genuinely suspend disbelief).

I think the coolest part of Ballerina is that it includes visualization[0] as an officially supported part of the language.

But DNS allows for redirection wrt IPs. How does HATEOAS do the same?

OK, here's a fun fact: most numbers are transcendental, which is to say, if you choose a real number uniformly at random in any finite interval the probability of choosing a transcendental number is 1. (The proof is easy and left as an exercise.) But actually describing a transcendental number is very hard. The first transcendental number other than pi and e was not described until the mid 19th century, and even today only a few dozen classes of transcendental numbers are known.
Guilty. ;-)

I guess my question is how many people know jinja (I'm guessing you need to fix errors, etc. manually?), how to deploy a website (since you need to upload the files somewhere), know HTML/CSS/JS (since you need to edit those files directly), but find running the two cli commands or IDE plugins a blocker/painful?

I agree that less-is-more is a interesting and probably-good path to take, but just bolting a GUI compiler on top of a templating language that does not follow a less-is-more philosophy seems to make this too much on one side and too little on another.

> There is a strong argument that the past 40 years has seen some of the fastest progress in the history of the human race when it comes to making things.

I still think somewhere between the late 19th century to the middle 20th century had the most impactful change in human history, and things have slowed somewhat in term of overall impact since then, with more gradual improvements. 1881-1951 saw more transformative changes than 1951-2021. As in the world changed more in the previous 70 years.

There's still a lot of change going on, and some of it is transformative. But not to the extent of the radical transformations from the late 19th to mid 20th centuries, with revolutions in science, technology, economics, trade, transportation, communication and political structures.

This might be more true of the developed world than the developing, which probably has seen those transformative changes more in the last 70 years. But in terms of what came to exist, it's hard to beat that period of time.
