Sorry, you’re quite right; they did indeed use that word. My apologies for the misreading.

(Still, it’s a bit of a misleading translation on their part… women aren’t property in Jewish law, as I already said.)

> And the word is unfamiliar to me, but I believe "his yevama" here means that if the woman is his widowed, childless sister-in-law, that this act of rape "doesn't count" for consummating the marriage which was a custom.

Yes, I believe this is correct.

> But, if the woman is not his yevema, he "acquires" her? It's not clear to me

I think the idea would be that ‘acquisition’ in this context is relevant for yevamot, but it is irrelevant if she is not his yevama.

> the scholars and the blog post strive to avoid discussing what is actually described here, it's hard for me to say … it seems you'll talk about anything except what this passage literally describes.

We are talking about what the passage literally describes: Rabba’s discussion of the consequences according to Jewish law when ‘one who fell from a roof … was inserted into a woman due to the force of his fall’. But what it literally describes is absurd, so the blog post talks about the next most reasonable interpretation — that this is a hypothetical case, exactly like many others in the Talmud. As far as I can see, it is you who is trying to claim that this text is some sort of special attempt to let men have an excuse for rape in general, which it isn’t.

Spot on.

The article rants, for example, that extrovert behaviours tend to be extrapolated to leadership skills. I think perhaps instead, leadership requires basic people skills which come naturally to “extroverts”. Being able to look someone in the eye instead of their navel (or worse) is a basic requirement.

But beyond that people skills are skills that most people can learn and be successful leaders.

I’d go as far as say, with experienced managers, it can be hard to tell if they are introverts or extroverts. They are good at directing teams using a variety of means of communication, during paid hours. Not bubbly chatterboxes or addicted to WoW or whatever cliche you want to use.
Fun fact: the brain also has a lymphatic system, which wasn't described until about ten years ago. It's called the glymphatic system, and apparently it was rather difficult to spot.

I view "yak shaving" more as: I have X to do. I find I can't to X because of issue Y. I start to fix issue Y, but discover issue Z. I then start to fix Z but can't because of A. A "rabbit hole" to me is different: I have to do X, which I think is simple, but no, there's Y to consider, then Z, then A (think, oh, date processing).
The moderation team here (is it just dang?) is pretty effective and I think succeeds. I've been corrected for relatively minor stuff before, and it was a helpful reminder to remain civil and engaged in good faith conversation.

One of Bach's most famous church cantatas, BWV 140[1], was written for the 27th (or no. 3^3, the importance of this will be apparent in a moment) Sunday after Trinity, the last possible Sunday before Advent.

The cantata is a chorale cantata based on the Lutheran Hymn "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme", the opening movement is a chorus that is based on this tune. The tune is in Bar form, the first 3 verses are repeated, followed by 6 verse which is sung once through (3x2 + 3x2), and Bach's chorus mirrors this structure. Bach decided to set the piece in E-flat, which is a key signature with 3 flats. He also decided to make the time signature 3/4, so each bar has 3 beats. There are 3 groups of musicians involved (not counting the obligatory basso continuo): 1) vocal forces, 3 parts (Soprano + Alto + Tenor, the bass mostly doubles the basso continuo and is not independent); 2) strings, 3 parts (violin 1 + violin 2 + viola); 3) winds, 3 parts (oboe 1 + oboe 2 + alto oboe). Also, the opening melody of the chorale outlines the 3 notes of the tonic triad of E-flat (E-flat, G, B-flat), while later on, Bach being Bach, there is a miniature fugato where the three lower voices open with the same 3 pitches in a different order (G, B-flat, E-flat).

I'm usual sceptical of most other numerological readings of Bach's music precisely because when Bach wished to make a point with numbers, he makes it damned obvious, as in this case.

> Yes, my use case was "I always use F-strings" so these other breakages could not occur, by definition.

Unless you're using any dependency at all, including the standard library.

> But.. Python has a history of introducing new features that break old ones.

It doesn't tho.

> That seems to me a balance between backward compatibility and future goodness.

That assumes "everything is an fstring" is considered "future goodness", which I'm not sure is a widely shared view.

> the "from future import auto-fstring" construct could do it...

That seems unlikely as the __future__ pseudo-package has generally been used to opt into hopefully future behaviour.

Given the Python 3 experience, somehow, I don't see "let's make all string literals into fstrings" happen any time soon, but hey feel free to create a PEP proposing that.

Alternatively, create your own import hook which does this swap before handing the module off of to the compiler.
I would explain it as colors are byproducts of electromagnetic frequencies, but they are qualia generated by your brain. There are many optical illusions that play with this fact. For example, in twilight, the frequencies you would call blue are different than what you call blue during daytime. This is because the brain /eye adjusts to the general light conditions. (As sunlight is generally "redder" at twilight).

It doesn't seem to get talked about as much it should but the economically efficient way to net zero is for rich, but non-sunny places to install solar in poor but sunny places and split the carbon reduction 'credit'. It’s a win-win-win.

I wonder how much more effective in economically damaging Russia it would be to push solar (and efficiency, insulation etc.) in regions on its southern border.

EU should do it at home too, as its the smart thing to do regardless, but bang-for-buck probably depends more on a) geography, b) growth rate of electricity usage, c) displacement of coal power, followed by poorly regulated methane extraction.

Uncollapsed civilizations aren’t necessarily sources of progress. Stability can lead to stagnation. A more reliable driver of innovation towards modernity is war. Perhaps if the ancient Roman state had had a strong persistent competitor in the form of a resilient Carthage, they would have spurred each other on to make more rapid progress.
Perhaps you are taking it too seriously. Sometimes "deadlines" are not really deadlines. I once work on a team exactly like the one you described: I was the new one and I was coming from a company that was obsessed with delivery something every week (even if that means delivering crap features). My new team was slow (for my then standards), it would take two days for the senior engineers to open a pull request about"adding a simple constant to an array"... But I after a few months I got used to that pace because: 1) we were delivering almost no (serious) bugs (which means we were never being paged at 3am), 2) it was a very relaxed environment, where I wasn't stressed at all (not like in my previous company).

Reading this story, as long as it is, was quite interesting to me. I've been on the other end of the lies. As a young person, ranging from middle school to early 20's, I was repeatedly duped by people who lied to me over and over again, making up fantastic stories that were tailored to my interests and gullibility. They used these lies to gain my friendship, to control my actions to get what they wanted, or to in one case, try to dupe me into marriage (not kidding).

Yeah, I was super naïve.

But then I read about some of the people affected by Mr. Clark and his lies, and realized that maybe I was a little less culpable in allowing myself to be deceived so much. Just as they wanted to believe him because "why would he lie?" I had reason for wanting to believe, too.

Growing up, I had an aunt who was only a few years older than I who constructed huge fables at every opportunity. She always portrayed herself as either the heroine, the victim, or the Cool Kid. The people around me accepted them, and it wasn't until much later in life that I realized she was absolutely and completely full of crap, a narcissist of the worst kind. But because of my family not confronting her constant lies and embellished stories, I was primed to accept any fantastic story as truth. And... I just now realized this while I was typing. Man. That sure explains a lot.

Try it again when you're older
Story time:

Back when I was in school, our introductory electronics class had us make a PCB for a PICmicro programmer on our first day. We got a handout of the schematics. We had to transfer its negative to a copper coated plate using some chemical, used UV light to fixate it, then dissolved the rest of the copper in acid. Finally we got to drill the holes for through-hole soldering points.

Next class we soldered all components. And by the end of two classes, everyone had their own functioning (or not ...) programmer, which we used the rest of the year on a variety of electronics projects. Great fun.
I suspect you are right when it comes to analog circuits, but they are definitely LTI in a typical digital implementation. I checked this by adding reverb+delay and delay+reverb to two copies of a track in REAPER. I inverted the phase of one, played them together, and they cancelled out.
I completely agree with your assessment of why spreadsheets fail. Completely unstructured data plus a mixture of exploration and analysis is a recipe for disaster.

> These complexities arise because Excel is super un-opinionated about what types of analyses make sense for a spreadsheet and how those analyses should be structured. Because Mito is designed specifically for working with tabular data through pandas dataframes, we're able to make design decisions that enforce a bit more structure into the analysis. 1) All data in Mito must be tabular -- it both preserves the structure of the spreadsheet and fits the ideals of pandas dataframes. 2) Every edit you apply in Mito applies the entire column (or dataframe for ops like filter, sort, pivot, etc.).

I tend to agree with this too, though there are cases where either (1) or (2) may need to be relaxed. Personally, I think static type checking will also turn out to be useful for structure enforcement: it’s nice to have things like builtin support for units, or defining enumerations for categorical data, or even just making sure that each column has the same type of data throughout. (This is also why I’m uncomfortable with building a spreadsheet on Python, for all the advantages such an approach has.)

> In practice, we see complexity explosion is the result of combining data exploration and analysis. In the exploration phase users apply temporary filters, column transformations, etc. But they don't want to take those transformations with them. What is exploratory and analysis work is often not known until after the analysis, so its a hard problem to design for, but its something we spend a lot of time talking about.

Making a UI good for both data exploration as well as more in-depth analysis is an interesting problem, and I’m not convinced we’ve found a good solution yet. Spreadsheets are good for the former, but not for the latter; programming is good for the latter, but not the former. Inserting a spreadsheet into a notebook interface seems a reasonable compromise, but I’m sure it’s possible to find something better and more tightly integrated.

Not sure if you'd consider this a "complete application" that is bigger than a "Hello-World-esque example" but I've worked on a Discord bot in SWI Prolog[1] for a while with a friend. It was an interesting experience and although a lot of the work (e.g. SWI has a ready-made library for interfacing with WebSockets and sending out HTTPS requests).

Some interesting applications of Prolog specifically include using predicates to filter messages by certain criteria (e.g. if it was sent by the bot's account or not), being able to hot-reload by invoking the make/0 predicate, and homoiconicity to (in theory) easily evaluate random code supplied by a user.

You didn't say anything about the boy's interests. That's what matters most. A lot of young people (and older ones!) find tinkering arduinos to be a lot of fun, either making robot-type devices or making sensors to monitor the environment. Others like games, and would enjoy exploring that area. Still others might be interested in mathematics. And so on. Build on existing interests.

I wonder if there's a typo in your message. If the boy is 18yo, then an interest in programming will have already surfaced. Don't try forcing him to do something that's not of interest to him. You only have him at home for short while now. I'd encourage you to explore what he likes to do. Maybe you'll find a new interest, and the two of you will have a great time before he leaves home.
Edward Snowden, who had access to basically all the US governments secrets for NSA and CIA with the highest above top-secret clearance, went specifically looking for stuff related to this and says that he came up with nothing.

I’d like a 410% reduction in all cause mortality as much as the next Joe, but the Pubmed similar articles list isn’t very encouraging. Nearly all the 90 articles listed spanning 40 years are from Russia, many from the same small group of researchers. I observe: 1) there HAS been a sustained effort and publication among a substantial group of investigators, and yet 2) these dramatic results have failed to attract further attention.

I (non-scientist, applying Occam’s razor and the principle of “if it seems too good to be true, it surely is”) conclude there is probably a fundamental flaw, like, perhaps, after a few years of “improvement” people suddenly shrivel up into a husk.

This week in KDE: Porting everything to QtQuick
Given we're talking about why salaries are higher in the US, i think it's fair to point out the comparison of items that are possible to buy in a normal supermarket here. I searched for parmesan in Walmart and could only buy an entire wheel for ~$26/lb.

The people who I'm comparing myself to in the US strive to buy imported European food, so that's the comparison I'm going to end up making.

Even basic things like fresh vegetables and fresh meat far more expensive than they are in supermarkets here.
Does he go on to discuss Hindenburg?

The problem for his argument, obviously, is that Hindenburg was the president of the Wiemar republic for the ten or so years that were the meat of the Nazi's rise to power, and he was far more of a hero to the 'strong elements' (far right / conservatives) than the monarchy ever were.

(Obviously, there's a second problem, which is that it's unclear to me if a lack of respect for 'democratic and Parliamentary processes' was the problem with the Nazis. They were voted in, and elections were suspended during wartime, which is normal in a democracy, and were by all accounts very popular throughout the war and after[0]. They also did not substantially alter or suspend the constitution: rather, they used emergency provisions and broadly interpreted resources that were already there).

[0]: Notably, many of the laws they authored, many of the companies and people they elevated or created, went on to successful post-war careers.

> I agree that communication was awful all over the board

I appreciate the peace offering but you have to understand that, for me, this topic is deeply personal. I am not willing to let it go on "oh let's call it awful and move on". Maybe in the beginning there was an earnest motivation to avoid suffering but the rest of the time, the public was simply deceived if not down right gaslit.

As a general answer: Corona is seasonal depending on latitude and on northern latitude spring is the end of it's season. So no matter what you do, you get a decrease in cases anyway. But if you mean something else, please show me in detail.

The excuse for lack of evidence seems to so often boil down to "that wasn't true lockdown". However, the measures in 2022 followed the same logic as the early lockdowns and were justified with the same grab bag of reasons. For instance, in winter 2021/2022, in Germany, I wasn't allowed to do anything except shopping for essentials because I am not vaccinated. For me, it absolutely was exactly like lockdown: same restrictions, same reasons, same dire predictions what would happen without these measures.

So I want an explanation for why cases didn't "explode" in Switzerland when they dropped their measures 16th of Feb 2022, a full one and a half month ahead of Germany and why are cases now dropping like a rock in Germany three weeks after repealing most measures.
