Not sure ANTLR is as fast (doesn't it use recursive descent? which is slower algorithmically) but even ignoring performance, it's basically the cost of adding a new tool to your toolchain. If you already have 20 other tools, maybe the 21st isn't a big deal, but if you have 2, the 3rd adds some complexity. And in general it's kinda nice to have fewer things to glue together.

(I'm not claiming "therefore this approach trumps what you listed", I'm just explaining some of its advantages. Obviously it has disadvantages too.)
Ford had a US$657 million IPO in 1956.

You can easily argue their hegemony lasted at least 60 years.

Amazon's public IPO was 1997. We are now ~20+ years in to their life as a public company.

How do you view Amazon if you believe they have another 40 years of unfettered leadership? How big does this company get? There are very few structural limits to their growth other than this logistics issue. (Ford was hardly unfettered, but as a public company performed much better, over a longer period of time, than the other auto makers).
This would be an issue if you were naively looking at a single mutation in a single gene in a single individual without context, but the problem disappears when looking at large numbers of whole genes in many individuals with fossil evidence for context. You can see more basal forms of genes, combinations of genes which get passed on together, biological clocks indicating when a mutation occurred, and geographic information indicating where it originated. If a gene variant exists for hundreds of thousands of years in one population, and then a nearly identical variant suddenly starts showing up in another population, it's safe to assume that some hanky panky took place.

We do indeed find neanderthals who descend from humans, interbreeding went both ways. For example we can see that around 100,000 years ago, the neanderthals' y chromosomes were almost completely replaced with a modern human y chromosome whereas even as late as 38,000 years ago there were still neanderthals with purely neanderthal mitochondrial DNA.
I wouldn’t call it “just entertainment”; it’s perspective, which is an awesome logical device. They’re absolutely not giving hard, peer-reviewed facts, but the mindset is totally valid as a logical tool for the arsenal.
The wolfram language is at its core is M-expressions (what John McCarthy originally was going to use to program lisp ) . Also, he saw that symbolic programming languages were something you could productize and he beat out all the lisp machines and kept it as software. He seized the opportunity of making a product that is useful to Mathematicians and basically has a huge vendor lock in from universities. Sage is very far behind as an open source solution.

With the wolfram language he wants to make a larger and larger libraries and try to make it more of a general purpose language but it has similar problems that lisp has but also that it’s really only targeting academia. I tried to use the cloud version but it never was really useful.

With wolfram alpha it was interesting to use but now Google can perform most of what that does now

The biggest problem with the language is that it’s extremely hard to learn and mathematicians are moving off of the platform.
I think vaccines are an interesting therapeutic approach for IBD, but personally I don't feel very optimistic that we'll make it work in the near-term. The website you link to gives an excessively misleading / false impression that MAP is the cause of CD.

There have been a number of whole microbiome sequencing studies comparing IBD/CD patients and healthy controls, and to the best of my knowledge, though there are demonstrable differences, no studies have established or even really "strongly suggested" a causative link with a specific microbe or even with a class of microbes. There are many other candidates that have been found to be associated with IBD, but none of them seem to be to blame on their own. If MAP was the cause of CD, we would easily know it from these studies.

If we knew that MAP was the key, then treatment and prevention would become quite a lot simpler. We simply don't know that, and I'd go so far as to say that this will never work beyond a small subset of patients. IBD (both UC and CD) have a notoriously multifactorial aetiology.
"kb_read_s": 0.12

This worries me. JSON doesn’t have support for fixed point math, does it? When will some random POSIX tool spit out scientific notation at me.

Also, if you just output a flat schema, is there much of a point in this vs just:

cpu: 0.2
kw_read_s: 0.12

The difference is that you can use a JSON parser vs splitting on new lines and colons?

I do like the idea of JSON output as an option but before every bug and mistake gets canonized as POSIX or some other standard can we at least talk about the output format for a bit?

Why do I see squares when I draw a 45 degree line on Remarkable 2 if the pixels are not exactly square on an eink?
It's technologically possible, but not legally possible and not convenient.

People in the know have the right extensions to block stuff and get past paywalls using the right snapshot services etc. Firefox can't officially offer this, but they can let people do whatever they want if they run their own extensions.

If this was common place or convenient for the masses then it would be actively discouraged or outlawed, similar to what happened with Napster and MP3s.
Sure, that is one way. But this scenario was about other people fighting themself and how about to not get in the way.
Even if you assume the server operator is benevolent, that would be trivial to fork (and no one should run a closed-source version of that in the first place) bu someone just forking the extension and using it to trivially DDoS sites for other purposes. Or just break out that part of the code and use it in other malicious client code.

Consider also the sybil vector; I could just use a proxy network to vote millions of times for a site I'd like to see targeted. Or how do you ensure that 1 human = 1 vote? Throw in some PoW? No.

I'm not for building easily available tools for remotely and unilaterally coordinating DDoS attacks.

This reminded me of pirating a Game of Thrones episode when I was a customer of HBO. My wife and I signed up for HBO max to watch the final season as it was airing. The quality turned out to be pathetically poor. During the Battle of Winterfell episode, the pixelation was serious enough to make the action difficult to make out.

I went ahead and torrented the episode the next day to rewatch it in all of its intended glory. Then a few days later, I got a letter from my ISP telling me that HBO was very upset with me and threatening to cut off my service. I felt compelled to send them a reply, explaining the situation and telling them to eat it.

As someone with Crohn's (diagnosed at 17, now have an ostomy), I often see a lot of conflation with IBS, which IBD is most definitely not.

It's interesting, I've been part of some research studies, I've been through a number of surgeries, and I've literally tried every medical treatment that's available (and a couple that may be someday...) with some very good IBD research docs. And I've also seen that diet and lifestyle choices can definitely affect the severity of a flare, especially the feelings and symptoms.

But they cannot 'cure' Crohn's or put it in remission. I currently have inflammation in my mouth, and unfortunately you can't just slice it out to take care of the problem like you can parts of the gut ;)

Anyways, all that to say these studies come and go, a few have a sliver of promise or offer some new route for a researcher to go, but in my few decades of Crohn's experience, I've grown to accept that short of a very significant stroke of luck, there probably won't be a cure in my lifetime.

And if there is, it'll probably crack the nut on a ton of other autoimmune diseases too. Hopefully!
Pretty strange that there's one researcher listed and a dozen "social media / fund raisers". Suggests this isn't serious research and is instead a hype factory for acquiring money.

I think ailml is the offending sequence here. It's pretty difficult to say and doesn't sound like something that you'd find in a native English word.

> If anything is perfectly private/secure it won't be allowed to exist due to regulations.

Why?

I was under the impression that these days the NSA and other government agencies prefer perfect security since if they can crack the security then other governments could too. By forcing imperfect security the US would give up a large part of its advantage.
But at least we're not under a Republican mayor and all those racist policing policies that... completely cleaned up the city.
I sometimes wonder whether there is any purpose to it in the long term. If/when Signal becomes big enough to be used by a lot of people, they will want to monetize too and the governments will become interested in monitoring messages there too.

It just feels futile. As long as companies need to turn a profit and governments can surreptitiously surveil their citizens there's no long-term solution. We can move to the next platform until that becomes popular (and hence worth monetizing and surveilling), then the next, repeat.

Its a technical solution to a political problem.
I hope the salary was worth it
I was thinking US stocks.

US stocks have experienced stellar returns over the past 10 years that exceed growth in underlying earnings. Returns over the next 10 years will likely be lower as the stock market reverts to the mean. The cyclically-adjusted P/E ratio (CAPE ratio)—defined as current stock price divided by average annual earnings over the past decade—is a common way of looking at mean reversion. The relevant results can be found in Figure 5 (page 10) of a 2016 study by StarCapital Research [1] or Figure 1 of a 1996 study by Robert Shiller [2].

As of Fri Dec 3 2021 the CAPE ratio for the S&P 500 was ~38 [3].

Sounds like defense companies need to redirect some of that money they’re making through never ending war into salaries then.

On another note, sure DARPA may be working on some cool projects, but I have a feeling a vast amount of work in defense working for Boeing/Raytheon/Booz Allen/etc. in a slow, environment, below market rate, working on some legacy system or a just working on software to support business processes. Maybe if you’re lucky you can work on some cool new weapon that will get sold to the Saudis and support the very war in the article itself!

I go to DARPA’s website, look under Work With Us > Opportunities, see some cool projects that are just proposals with a bunch of bureaucratic looking documents with no idea or notion how to get involved with them. I’m sure, I could find the website of a well known Wall Street firm, and find their open positions, with enough information what roles they have, etc.
Honestly if your criticism to code reuse is all about DRY, and you equate code reuse with abstraction, then it should not be taken seriously.

Abstraction, code reuse and DRY are 3 different things. Abstraction is control, when you want the client code to conform to a pattern, so that it won't break your system. Code reuse can be either about convenience or control, can be abstraction related or not. For example when you reuse a function that perform a critical business logic, you don't do it to conform to an abstraction, nor to save time typing the function again. You do it because you want a single source of truth for that bit of logic.

Lastly DRY is purely about convenience.
True.

Did they build more loading docks? Most malls I've seen don't have a lot of big overhead door loading docks, which would be essential for a distribution center.
I strongly suspect that much of the messiness in empirical biological studies would be deconfounded if we were generally more willing to classify humans into narrower ethnic groups. For example, different groups of people are likely optimized for different diets, in which case insufficiently breaking down the ethnic makeup of your study cohort would lead to weak or contradictory evidence when applied to populations at large, as we tend to see. The same likely applies to various supplements, medications, and probably even psychological studies including behavioral and medical interventions for abnormal states.

I can understand the hesitancy to do so but I think most people, including scientists, are not aware of the likely cost. It is possibly to classify humans into races/subspecies without resorting to racial discrimination or animus - the same way we currently celebrate so called diversity.

I do believe it would likely have implications for the interventions which certain pockets of our society are attempting to install to correct for racially correlated inequities.
> costs of most of the military engagements

that's not on the personnel inside the military to decide what war to wage, but on the politicians and civilians.

The military is a tool - how well the tool works is a good metric to have. Whether the tool is used for good or evil, or whatever purpose the owner of the tool deems, is not on the tool itself to measure.
there's no causal link between Fisher supporting eugenics and continued institutional racism though? The idea of "cancelling" all of history's greatest people is one of the worst suggestions I can imagine, optically, for progressive movements. I would think that educating people about the shades of grey in our cultural icons' history, beliefs and personality is a much better cause.

For example I didn't know that Churchill had some pretty horrendous things to say about Indian people until the last couple of years because British cultural attitudes towards him are pretty unflinchingly patriotic. It doesn't diminish that he played a key role in saving us and the rest of the world from the Nazis, but it does balance his image as a man with positive and negative qualities, which is a more realistic image. To tear his statues down says to other people "fuck your heroes, racism is the only dimension I judge people on" - which is much more likely to garner a reactionary response than to initiate dialogue and understanding on the racism of our history, which IMO is the valuable thing you can get out of these conflicts.

Tearing down statues (of people famous for things unrelated to racism) just makes progressives seem incredibly unreasonable, which is already a popular perception, because of exactly things like this.

Decentralisation is hard - never told the contrary.

However, transaction "gas" fees with some chains (Polygon, Solana) are less than 1 cent and you probably know that.

You can pay as much with DynamoDB if you don't optimise anything (and reads are free with the chains, still costly with DynamoDB). Of course, you can say that AWS is overpriced too... maybe that's just inflation going on.

It really is a case of learning the puzzle creator's tricks and tell-tale phrasings. Takes a few goes, and switching to another crossword involves an adjustment period. Although anagrams are always ever popular. (And the hint I have for solving those is to write the letters in a circle, preferably backwards, so that you're not misled by existing structures in the word)

First crossword clue I ever solved solo was "six go by vehicle to see priest", that particular setter was very fond of roman numerals, which I'd picked up on from my previous attempts, so I figured it'd start with VI, and of course, a car is a vehicle, and a vicar is another term for an Anglican priest.
