In India we have UPI by government no fees.

It is a new way of payments that removes need for middleman and government even has a official app ( BHIM App ) for it and most importantly it is a protocol so anyone can use it without third parties ( private companies )involved.

It now also supports subscriptions.

20,000 people die of staph every year in the US (that's 1 in 6 reported cases) and almost all of it is now MRSA (resistant to Methicillin). VRSA (resistant to the even stronger vancomycin) and even VISA (immune to vancomycin) constantly pop up in other countries and are basically untreatable. If they get a foothold like MRSA, we can look forward to a lot more staph deaths.

Lots of diseases like tuberculosis, C diff, VRE, CRE, gonorrhea, strep, and probably several I haven't thought about all have developed antibiotic resistance to a common antibiotic (tuberculosis is often resistant to multiple antibiotics).

Gram-negative bacteria variants immediately gain a huge resistance to current antibiotics.

We really need research into new antibiotics to treat these diseases, but there's not much money in creating or producing them. These diseases kill many more people than COVID (especially over a few years). We should be funding them at least as well as we've funded COVID as finding them probably grants another hundred years of treatable diseases just like the discovery of penicillin did.
It works very well, but it is much easier to experience it than to talk about it.

Hydro in general has two metrics that matter. How many MWh can you generate per year (pretty much, how much water falls in a year), and how much MW can you generate at any given moment (ie. How fast can the water come out of the lake at top speed).

As the price of electricity varies more and more hour to hour, it becomes worth installing new generators to generate more MW, so you can do all the generation in a short time window to get the best price.

> * 真 makoto, a word often glossed as "sincere" but not identical in meaning: it's about the amount of effort you're willing to take on, not how "honestly" you feel something

While it's true that makoto can be translated as sincere(ly) in constructions like "makotoni moushiwakearimasen" (I sincerely apologize) (although this is written 誠に rather than 真に), it is unlikely that the word makoto would be used in a phrase like "a sincere apology" or in discussing how sincere an apology was, so I don't really think introducing the word "makoto" in your comment sheds any additional light on japanese culture surrounding apologies.

You could actually make the exact same comment about how "real" in English can also effectively mean sincere in "really sorry" and draw the same conclusions about American culture.

> Fundamental and Consistent Collection Operations

I recently discovered that Scala collection library was designed with this exact goal in mind.

Interface of collections is highly consistent between various types and you can create custom collections using the same interface with very little custom code.

I found this very insightful https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/architecture-of-s...

Slick library pretty much turns database access into first class part of the Scala through this collections api

It's a bit unfair because modern pixel art games are literally nothing like old pixel art games.

For one, the resolution has gone from 400x300 to ~3000x1500 and more, and the number of color went from 8 to millions. All those pixels in high-res pixel art have to still be stored somewhere.

Even though I still agree that some games do not deserve to be as fat as they are.

I don't think it's ever the thing's fault. If you're actually depressed about not solving a really challenging problem, this results from a process that works differently in people who aren't susceptible to depression. For instance, maybe you get depressed because you thought you could solve it much more quickly, and you're realizing your self-assessment is entirely wrong, and this starts negative thought spirals that maybe your abilities to do anything are over inflated, and that you'll just experience frustration and negative emotions in tackling anything, and this sucks the drive and enjoyment you used to experience from any of your hobbies.

If you weren't susceptible to depression these spirals wouldn't take hold, you might just say, "huh, now that I've learned more, I realize this is a harder problem than I first thought" and you just carry on.
You mean that they should have used 70's photographic gear and film for the 'now' shots?
Thanks for pointing out the inconsistency. What I meant was that the language core should be very constrained around composition of a few core primitives (self-hosting), but that it could be modified or built upon by others. So that it could evolve in multiple avenues of exploration, and gain from the competition. Where it would be up to the community to decide whether they want to use the constrained version(s) (suitable for large scale complex environments), which I prefer, or the bring-your-own syntax version(s) (suitable for small scale playful experimentation and research) which would inevitably appear. Inspirations here would be Lisp, Clojure and Racket.

What would be important is to facilitate simple language _merging_, due to all the divergence that would appear. Inspired by Git. So the community could easily find back together after a split (if their ideas and goals come back in alignment, and they have converged to an agrement on the features again).

The goal is to generate a random spectrum that corresponds to a real-valued signal. If the positive and negative frequencies aren’t conjugate-symmetric then the resulting signal after the IDFT will be complex-valued.

You can think of it in terms of degrees of freedom. A real-valued length-N signal has N degrees of freedom. A length-N spectrum is complex-valued, meaning 2 degrees of freedom per frequency bin. When you constrain it to be conjugate-symmetric you bring the degrees of freedom back to N, which matches the real-valued signal.
Personal tag databases and search engines exist, some people use them; but IMO not for very long. The maintenance overhead gets too big and the vulnerable feeling of having an important and frequently used part of you mind external and in need of protection is a thing.

Once there were several big software and information archives on the net; ibiblio.org and the Usenet FAQ DB both come to mind as examples, there were plenty of others. What they had was organization; an Archivist (or crew of same) cared for them. They faded as they got too big for the archivists to encompass them, people became aware that there was need for multi-categorization and search.

WAIS was an effort at site-centric indexing; there's been several efforts towards "personal search engine" things that ride your browser or index your local files, none of them seem suited for general use that I'm aware of. It's like the "Day Planner" thing; the amount of "restructure your thinking and habits" required is a significant barrier to entry, no matter how much the Converted tout the benefits of their assistants the maintenance and ideological load is high.
Disagree highly, the x11 select/middle click paste is the best way to copy/paste by far. To the point I start to get visibly upset when trying to copy and paste on windows. you would think ctrl+c ctrl+v is easy and simple, but it is infuriatingly slow compared to the x11 method.

To really throw gasoline on the mental fire, middle click on window usually puts you in some sort of stupid alternate scroll mode.
I think I might have a slightly more apt analogy, though I do understand yours and pretty much agree.

To immediately jump to the "chemical imbalance" problem/solution is like if you have a web app that's performing really slow, so you hire a consultant to take a look.

They tell you that you need to horizontally scale your app in order for it to perform better. In many cases, this would actually work (for a while anyway), but it probably doesn't explain the real issue.

In reality, the problem could be that you wrote your app to do way too many things per request rather than picking and choosing which things are going to be treated as first-class. Perhaps there's even one little thing that's O(n^2) and it simply is going to take a lot of time to work out.

Ah, I see what you're referring to.

The hardest thing is the load() function, particularly in the REPL. It looks dynamic, but is actually static. Pulling off this slight-of-hand requires both type providers and automatic compile-time function evaluation on arbitrary expressions.

F# is the only other language I know of that has type providers. They invented it.

As for CTFE, languages like Zig and D require the user to indicate when to evaluate something ahead of time. I wanted this to happen automatically and still be available for compound expressions, user-defined functions, user-defined types, etc. Doing that requires tracking purity (no state or IO) in an expression, plus a mechanism to actually do the evaluation. I've never seen a language take it to the extreme that Empirical does.

So an existing statically typed language would need (1) a REPL interface, (2) purity tracking, (3) compile-time function evaluation, (4) some kind of types-as-parameters setup, and (5) array notation. Most existing statically typed languages don't have a REPL; the ones that do generally lack array notation. I couldn't find a language that did all of that plus type providers and automated CTFE on arbitrary expressions.

Hence, I had to create my own language.

(1) dutch kids learn to cross the tramlines at right angles, and to give trams right of way at all times (because they have that right of way)

(2) those big heavy bikes are slow, and accidents are typically 'oh, sorry' and then both parties are on their way again.

(3) no, there aren't enough bikes yet. It sure looks like you judge your view of the Dutch and their bikes on one major inner city. NL is a lot larger than that and bikes are an essential ingredient of society here (and of our health!).

(4) bike theft too is a problem of the big cities mostly
> In the US, an apology is considered an admission of responsibility and is often the starting point of legal action against the culprit

source? this is a popular theory among non-lawyers, but not, as far as I can tell, well-supported by the evidence. http://jaapl.org/content/early/2021/05/19/JAAPL.200107-20 has extensive citations including for their claim that "In theory, telling a patient about an error may make patients more likely to pursue litigation. In practice, however, bad outcomes alone are typically not reason enough for patients or their families to file malpractice claims."
That's a good point - thanks. "Thoughts" rather than "intentions" is definitely more aligned with where I am. Part of the trouble for me and presumably a lot of people is untangling those things - for example, would my thoughts be intentions if not for having a spouse, who I could never imagine hurting in that way by leaving? Moreover, does the mere presence of that kind of "blocker" represent a positive sign?

I pick at this stuff in my own head all the time, and just don't have enough confidence in doctors to believe they could tell me anything new. Being able to skip straight to pharmaceutical or other non-talking solutions via a disclaimer would probably mean a lot more people like me would seek help.
Real estate works the same way. Why are you not paying builders a license fee every time you enjoy the fruits of their labor that protect you from rain and wind? Builders get only a microscopic fraction of the value that their commercial building or a factory produces over its lifetime. Is this fair or unfair?
Plan on reading it 4-5 times. The first time it is going to be a whole bunch of new words/concepts -- "a different language" as you put it.

Only read the introduction.

The first reading is to inventory the words, where they are used, and how important they are. Don't try to understand except in the most vague of ways.

The second time you can start to make some sense out of it because hopefully you think you might understand 1/3- 1/2 of the words.

Now look up some definitions. Google might help, otherwise the difficult word(s) might be cited, in which case you need to read the abstract of the relevant paper (only enough to get a definition of what the word might mean).

The third time you read it, you should know 1/2 to 2/3rds of the words and be able to make good connections between them, you start to see the ideas take shape.

The fourth read you fill in the gaps from the outline you made in the third read.

If the paper is well written, the introduction lays out the relevant current thought on the topic, and suggests a way by which some conflict in this thought can be resolved.

The discussion presents that resolution.
> how do you drive your kids to school, or to a holiday destination, etc?

The Netherlands is densely populated enough that you can often walk to primary school. Mine is located about 300 meters away, with another primary school about 1 km away. I used to walk by myself without parent supervision.

Secondary high (middle school + high school are one single entity here) are fewer in number so that's when kids start needing bikes. Many kids can bike to school in 30m, but I had classmates who lived in some nearby village and biked for an hour.

My niece in Amsterdam bikes for about 35-45m depending on school location (they have multiple) and biking speed. She takes public transport (tram and metro) on rainy days but door to door commute time is the same.

These days, long bike commutes from villages could probably be more comfortable thanks to electric bikes. No need for car.

One of the clients I've worked for had their office at an airport outside Amsterdam. On most days, I travelled by bike in 45m.

> holiday destination

Holiday destinations tend to be in rural places that are inconvenient to reach by public transport. If younhave a family, then a car is indeed ideal for these destinations.

I find Amsterdam's center to be quite crowded if you're trying to raise a family. But smaller cities' centers don't have that much of a problem even for families.

I do most of my grocery shopping either by walking or by bike. I only use the car if I have to buy a lot. Though quite a lot of people use their car for weekly grocery shopping.

We do a thing where we project all of the domain state (i.e. for a given user's session/work) into an in-memory database and then execute the business's SQL queries against it in order to determine logical outcomes.

I wouldn't really call it low/no code, since developing effective queries is non-trivial for many cases, but it does make it much more feasible for a non-developer to add incremental value to our product.
No, nothing like that at all. Imagine opening a file in a text editor.... the editor pops up a dialog asking you what file to open... and then grabs the file you indicated. It can do this because it has access to everything, so if it gets confused, or subverted, there's zero guarantee that it will do the right thing.

Imagine instead, your text editor called the system to get a capability, which then opened the same dialog, and gave a capability (like a file handle) to the text editor for its use. If it got confused, or subverted, the only thing it could mess up would be that one file.

> At the very least with row polymorphism, a function can declare which subset of the type it actually care about instead of taking an unwanted dependency on the whole blob.

This is the argument I no longer find convincing. Do you have an example where this is so much clearer than alternate, simpler ways of doing it?

For instance, in principle you could easily rewrite a function that works on a record with 3 fields to just accept 3 parameters. The only additional "burden" is that the caller has to pass in those 3 fields, where before they could just pass in the record.
And V&D went bust...
That hardly defeats the argument. Saying that 40% of "urban journeys" are <=2 miles does not convince me that I want to make the other 60% of "urban journeys" that much more inconvenient as well as the 100% of non-"urban journeys". In America, "practical everyday journeys (to school, shops, work)" are quite often farther than 2 miles, and it really shows that the author has never lived out here. Within 2 miles, I've got a pizza place, a sports bar, a Chevron, and a dentist's office. My old high school, grocery stores, heck even Walmart, just about everything is farther than 2 miles away. "The shops" are about 10-15 miles out. Ikea? That's about 35 miles away. Even when I lived in the city center, it was still 10 miles away! Now mind you, I actually don't mind how far things are, but only because we have great roads and a culture of driving fast. I just keep seeing these bike propagandists dismiss valid concerns by saying nothing more than "stroad bad, America bad", and it's honestly just annoying to see so many out of touch with my day-to-day reality
Category theory seems like a "meme" interest among programmers.
That's likely because you have a running contract that's not up for price-adjustments. New contracts are significantly higher than 30cent/kwh.

The same argument could be made for rents in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg. "I've been living here for thirty years in this apartment and the stories about 20€/sqm are just lies".

It might take you, as a programmer or technically literate person, tens of minutes to learn the SQL necessary to parse a csv file.

But I have met a whole raft of people that would firstly take much longer to learn enough SQL to get by, then would still need help when basic syntax error messages came up, and then would get frustrated before getting someone else to do basic analysis for them.
