The Internet has become a place to publish/share every trivial thought that has ever popped into every mediocre mind. There is no self-regulation/self-censoring anymore. The Noise is just overwhelming and it is extremely mentally fatiguing just trying to get at any kind of Signal. You just give up and start numbing your mind with all the junk available.

Sometimes it is much simpler to solve a problem by passing by reference (a var parameter in Pascal) than using the default of passing by value. Making the choice explicit helps those reading the code see this.

Loved it. Brilliant ending. Sounds almost like a great super short novel.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand your response.

You said "It had a pure mathematics department, an applied mathematics/theoretical physics department, and a department of statistics and somethingorother (maybe economics?)."

That sounds like 3 departments that focus on math.

I think you're right that mathematics is dispersed across several (math) departments, but that seems to miss the point of this change. After dispersing individual Classics faculty across other departments there will be zero departments that focus on the classics.

The point is that it will be hard to collaborate on Classics-focused work. For example, one way that a college/university can increase it's reputation in an area is to organize/run conferences. It'll be that much harder for Classics faculty at Howard to do that because each individual faculty member is now in a department that doesn't focus on the Classics and so won't have much incentive to support work (like organizing conferences).

I'm having a hard time reconciling your comments with the distinction I made, above.

Well it depends a lot on the patent, I guess. Some patents are definitely not worth a startup, so probably it's not a bad idea to get some bonus and be done with it.

However it's cool for big companies to show they have thousands of patents.
Yes, it is. If you have a deposit in a bank, you are a creditor of that bank. If the bank fails, you might not get that money back.

When you state it's one of the best movies ever made, do you mean it's up there with Apocalypse Now? Are there lines or performances from Dune you intend to stand next to Brando's? Is it in any way pointing at or making explicit an essential aspect of the human condition in a way that no other film has done before? (You don't have to agree with me this is important for one of the best movies ever made but it helps.) Should it stand shoulder to shoulder with Bergman or--for sci-fi--Alien or Blade Runner? If so, I'd really appreciate an explanation of why you think it's one of the best movies ever made.

It's my opinion that Dune is the seal to Villeneuve's fall from grace. His early career was studded with greats like Sicario, which explored the deep vulnerability of a powerless female lead outflanked by the violent potential of the professional men in her company; and Enemy, a psychotic allegory for fear of real intimacy. Villeneuve was a rising star, I couldn't have been more excited for where he was pushing film together with his often companion, Roger Deakins.

Dune is nothing more than beautiful scenery with airbrushed beauties vaulting through bedecked spaces. The dialogue could have left the lips of anyone in any scene with as much impact as the platitudes of a college freshman.

There is good cinema within our generation but it is startlingly rare. Most of what makes it to the theaters is bloodless, drained of anything to say about anything at all. Villeneuve's new Blade Runner 2049 was a visual feast as equally as bankrupt. The passage from Nabokov's Pale Fire that Gosling was allowed to develop into the film's baseline test appears as a kind of last, bare rebellion from the director against the powers of Hollywood like Sylvan Esso's pop track Radio, 2 seconds longer than the mandated 3.30 of a real radio hit.
I’ll bite. Why would it be valuable to analyze literature or classics computationally? Are you suggesting that they ought to be considered a subset of linguistics? Linguistics is about language, not the content of language.

It would affect its value wrt USD for sure, by driving it higher. Bitcoin is, at this point, the new "gold standard", and that is by design. You can increase the supply some, but it's exponentially hard to do so, just like with gold - all the easy deposits are long gone.

Whereas increasing the supply of USD boils down to a single database "update" statement. I'm exaggerating for dramatic effect, obviously, but not by all that much.

> Shared understanding is important for building and maintaining software.

I think this is where Go (the language) really shines. Go is "boring" -- there are no macros, no operator overloading, no default arguments, none of that sort of thing. But if your goal is shared understanding, "boring" is a compliment. "Boring" means "after using the language for a few years, I can be confident that I will never be surprised by a piece of Go code again." (This has been true for me for at least 4 years.)

In the same vein, Go famously doesn't support user-defined generics; the only generics it has are reified "builtins," baked into the language. People gripe about that, but the upshot is that every Go programmer understands the semantics of those builtin functions. They're Schelling points! When user-defined generics are added in the next version of Go, I worry that we'll lose some shared understanding. It will be a subtle shift, but the language will feel a bit less "cozy." :/
This is a good article.

The big breakthrough seems to be making drill bits out of a composite material formed from diamond and tungsten carbide.[1] One of their bits lasted through 25km of drilling. (Not one hole, re-used for multiple shallow holes.) That's encouraging. The geothermal people only need to go down 10km. Being able to do much of the job without backing out the drill string, one pipe section at a time, to change the bit is what seems to yield the cost estimates in the original article.

The next problem is to get everything at the down-hole end up to that level of reliability. Which is why the author talks about seal problems in mud-powered drilling motors. For the geothermal application, they just want to drill straight down, so they don't need all the fancy stuff used for slant and horizontal drilling.

So there remain some grungy, hard, and important problems to solve, like a seal material that will work better at high temperatures. Such things exist.[2]

This is encouraging.

The article points out that this isn't like hunting for oil and gas pockets; if you have roughly the correct overall geology, there will be hot rock down there anywhere you drill. This upsets some financial models, where drilling the first well in a new area is more like a VC-funded high-risk high return project. You're really drilling for the valuable info that oil or gas is there, not for the oil or gas from the exploration well.
Deep geothermal is going to be dull, boring (literally), usually successful, and profitable over a long period but not in the short term. Great for regulated utilities.

Iterating to a correct solution to a problem works well as a strategy for projects, but very poorly for smaller units of work like a feature or a bug fix. Often, doing the quick hacky solution for a feature won't show the problems it has for a while, by which time you've built things on top of it. Having to go back and fix that impacts far more than if you'd spent a little more time in the first place.

It's particularly important when you're designing data structure changes more than than code. Getting an API or a database table design right first time (or even just 'more right') is worth the time invested.
I even enjoy his lesser novels and have read all of his novels multiple times. So, I've been looking forward to this one and just finished my second re-read of Fall, which has grown on me since it came out; probably one of his least accessible novels. Half of the fun in that one is all the back references to his past novels (e.g. Cryptonomicon, The Baroque Cycle, REAMDE) with characters and events being referred to.

So, maybe don't start with that one. Snow Crash, the Diamond Age, and Cryptonomicon are probably all good ones to start with and all still very much on topic despite being a few decades old now.

> The second problem is competition. Some commercial providers say, 'I'm the leader. Why should I standardize?'

This is the reason. The only reason. Google was the leader in this story.

Google built infrastructure and intelligence to handle Norvig's other concerns: provenance and validity. It's not perfect, but it's good enough, and it's a major competitive advantage.

Why would they want everyone on the internet to have Google powers at low cost?

Wikipedia solves for these concerns. Open source does too. There's no reason we couldn't have had maintainers and curators and a distributed web of pubkey signing to vouch for good data. Most of the data would have been social by nature anyway, and sharing news and articles p2p would have been an early take at the fediverse. But broader than just the Twitter focus.

Google launched the WHATWG partially to supplant the W3C and their semantic web push. They knee-capped XHTML and its strong semantics in favor of a loosely typed, messy, and forgiving HTML5. Because Google is one of only a few players that can deduce the semantics on their own. (They then pushed ahead unilaterally so that Chrome was dominant. They fashion the web into an image that suits them.)

The Semantic Web would have threatened Google by lowering the barrier to entry to parties that wanted to connect and query data. Of course Google hates it.

I don't know much about Lisp. But you do realize you're asking sort of the following right?

Roman: what's so amazing about the decimal system? I can do addition just fine with X + X = XX.

Modern human: Well... you can do negative numbers easily, irrational numbers, you can show zero easily.

Roman: bah! I don't know what you're talking about. Half those numbers don't even exist.

Mathematician: actually have you heard about complex numbers?

The point is: you have to learn a new way of thinking compared to procedural/OOP style programming. And it might be the case that the problems it solves are not practical for your use-case.

I tell you, as a non-Lisp programmer, what I find amazing about Lisp. Disclaimer: I may be partially or completely wrong. I'm really not the one who should be writing this, but since our knowledge of Lisp isn't that far apart, I might be able to empathize with your perspective a bit more since I have been in it.

* Your code is the abstract syntax tree! Don't know what an abstract syntax tree is? It's a data structure that compilers use in order to generate code. In normal languages you have to first parse the language, compile it to the abstract syntax tree and then generate machine code from it. However, in the case of Lisp, it's already there. So this means that you can write compiler-esque programs much easier.

* One of the nice things that a direct AST provides that it allows partial live reloading of code. Imagine this:

```
myAge = 17
if (myAge >= 18) {
print("Nice!")
} else {
print("Hello youngster!")
}
```

With Lisp, you can basically swap out the first print function for another function while the program keeps running.

This is a mental health problem. Everybody can eventually agree, although normal people will always think that mental problems can be solved with whatever policy they support.

About one in four American suffer from idiophatic anxiety. And never more than 60% can be treated. The rest, and some of those treated, and those with worse psychiatric illnesses, will lead miserable lives, and it is nobody's fault.

However bad American economy is right now, it is simply heaven to people in third world countries, and millions try to cross the border every year.

Don't blame it on education, either; mental health problems burden the poor, too; the difference is the poor won't have the support to survive that much. They will die to violence, or drugs, or suicide.

But this is not the end of America, worry not. The healthy population which do reproduce will carry on. And you will import poors to do the manual labor.
