This hasn't been true for a long time. These days it feels like mentioning the original founding principles of Animal Farm after it went totalitarian.

It is from a different age, when intelligent people like Tim Peters still had influence and there was more of an academic atmosphere. These days it is about warming chairs, getting power, eliminating your enemies and speaking at conferences.

> I used Latex. None of this was a problem

I used LaTeX for years, and almost _everything_ was a problem. The moment I wanted to venture one bit beyond the obvious and typical, it's very crufty macro programming. The situation has improved somewhat w.r.t. packages supporting you in doing that, but still, "no problem" is certainly not how I'd describe it.
This is just a vomit of verbiage some relevant and a lot of irrelevant Whataboutisms, False Equivalences, Red Herrings, Precedents etc. i.e. more "Gish Gallop".

>If there is 'less gold' to go around, we can just value it in higher denominations, i.e. deflation.

Imagine borrowing $300k for a house denominated in gold and then the price of gold doubles. Now you owe $600k even though you haven't agreed to this amount in the original contract. You have taken something less valuable and now you are returning something more valuable. In any other business context one would expect to get paid for providing this service. The illogical nature of gold demands compensation instead, as the lender could just do nothing with his gold and get the same benefit despite the fact that doing nothing is actively harmful to the economy.

Ancient Egypt simply used grains as money. You deposit the grains at a local grain bank, get a clay tablet in return. They never had a "not enough" money problem. Because borrowing grain and returning it in pristine condition was actually considered the service it is. If the lender does nothing, his grains will spoil in front of his eyes.

It was a boon for me when I discovered voice recognition on my phone keyboard actually works well. I haven't been typing any messages since then. And my messages are also more clear since I'm not frustrated I'm wasting my time struggling with my large fingers on a little string doing something that could be done an order of magnitude faster with speech[0].

[0] Well, some of my friends are too lazy and actually leave me a voice message. I let them all know I prefer text messages and they can use the little microphone icon next to space for that. The only one who can communicate with me in this way is my partner, I actually like listening to their voice.
He doesn't need to know the anchor positions accurately - this was extra work he didn't need to do because he has feedback on the hoop position (via the cameras), so even very rough measurements will be fine.

The 'cable slack takeup' devices are also unnecessary because that can be done in software - you can put a virtual spring in the motor control feedback loop to make it act as springy or rigid as you like.

I can imagine the need for both came about from previous (unseen) design iterations that had low frame rate visual feedback and motors without feedback at all.

>If UST’s market value was well above peg, say $1.10, an arbitrageur could purchase $1.00 worth of LUNA and swap into UST via the on-chain mechanism — providing the $1.00 of LUNA in exchange for one newly minted UST, worth $1.10. ...

>In the inverse scenario where UST’s market value was below peg, say $0.90, an arbitrageur could purchase the discounted UST and swap into LUNA via the on-chain mechanism.

Am I reading that right? That sounds like the LUNA protocol is effectively writing two options: to convert 1 UST to $1 worth of LUNA at current market price, and vice versa. But writing an option inherently means exposure to a risk of significant loss from high volatility?

I don't know where I'm going with this but it seems like writing those two options in any other context would be insane.
I don't understand this distinction between futureproof vs simple code. I would have thought they are the same.

Invalidating money every n years could work because it forces people to make an arrangement with people in the future. However, it would be simpler to introduce a three month expiry date to cash bills that demands you pay 1% once it expired, resulting in -4% interest per year. People will be glad to lend out money at 0% as they avoid the -4% interest on cash.
They don't need to; it is the kernel that implements TCP, and on Linux at least you can easily change the congestion control algorithm that is used and some other parameters. Again, UDP doesn't magically solve anything, and QUIC implements congestion control in userspace, so then you have to wonder: is my QUIC implementation tuned for 8gbps over 1s rtt?

Note that your example of file transfer is a special case that an application can be specifically tuned for; it can have a receive window that is as large as the file it is going to receive, because it can use the file on disk as the backing store for that window, and it can implement an unlimited form of selective ACK. This is really not something that you can do with a generic transport protocol that implements the POSIX sockets API.

You are very insistent on proving yourself right by changing the topic to one where your assertions are correct instead of dealing with the discussion that everyone else was having. It’s a neat rhetorical trick, but kind of annoying in a context where everyone else is just trying to have a constructive discussion.

In this context, we were talking about digital audio & the perception thereof by human listeners. Spread spectrum signal processing techniques are not relevant. Driving the noise floor down to the quantum limit by using liquid helium & a bunch of other abstruse techniques is not relevant. The fact that GPS signals are below the noise floor in their radio spectrum is, once again, not relevant.

They might be the same, but often, future proof code is written with a future requirement in mind, and extra "hooks" added in to allow easy addition of that future requirement.

For example, you might add an orm to abstract the db specific SQL, even though you only run off one database type, because it allows you to switch in the future.
The most interesting bit for me is that iPads currently support virtualization, both in the chipset and the kernel.

All that wasted compute power could be used to run a developer sandbox if Apple wanted to (iSH is great, but it's sandboxed x86 emulation and not quite all there yet for back-end development).

I would (no pun intended). Why not?
My Bad. I have special nlambda, which does not evaluate anything at any stage. It was originally for testing macros without macroexpand, which expanded too much.
> Over the last couple years a way I've come to view software is that a sufficiently complex library, class, api, or even just file IS a DSL.

Yes. A macro gives a certain programming feature a name and a syntax.
But with a function we also need to give it a name and we need to define the arguments. In the case of function arguments, we also need to know what the input and output of those function needs to be.

For example in Lisp there is a macro WITH-OPEN-FILE, which opens a file, executes code using the input stream and then closes the file. It also ensures that the file is also closed in case of an error.

(with-open-file (stream filename)
(read stream))

We now may have two other ways to deal with that often needed functionality: write the code or use a function which does the same (here in this example this is possible, but often a macro does something which a function can't).

First we write the code. We may pull this from a snippet library. We have to remember what the primitives are and what they do.

(let (stream
return-value)
(unwind-protect
(setf return-value
(progn
(setf stream (open filename))
(read stream)))
(close stream)
return-value))

Or we write a function. This gets a name CALL-WITH-OPEN-FILE, a list of arguments and in case of the function it needs to now what the input and outputs are: a stream is the input and the result is arbitrary, but will be returned by CALL-WITH-OPEN-FILE.

(call-with-open-file
filename
(lambda (stream)
(read stream)))

For the macro we need to know:

* the name of the macro

* the syntax of the macro:

with-open-file (<symbol, non-evaluated> <filename, evaluated>)
form*

* what the generated code is supposed to do

For the function we need to know:

* the name of the function

* the list of arguments and their order

* the types and semantics of the arguments: a filename and a function which takes a stream

* what the function is supposed to do

The effect is basically the same: both ways are essential leading to a DSL, where the language operators and their usage has to be learned.
Why does the fact that you can only do that to the HEAD matter? I can still fake any time in the past.

Also, I'm not aware of any public host that does not do garbage collection. But even if that were the case, you still need to trust whatever the repository host is.
If you don’t like that manifestation, you can work for another company that does not do it, or start your own. We are still a freeish market fortunately. So we’ll get to know which one is better thankfully soon.

> Yet in real life I'm useless in front of a piano, or a paint brush. It would be great if there was a way to tap into that creativity once awake.

Imagination and technical skill (that is, how well you use a piano or paint brush) are orthogonal domains. The way to tap into your imagination is to develop your technical skill to the level where you're capable of translating what you imagine to the physical motions necessary to convey it on canvas.
If you'd say what those claims and statements were, then we could have a conversation. It's not conducive to a good discussion to reply just by saying "you're wrong and you don't get it".
I have also nslambda, which take only one argument. I think the macro in some ancient lisp was also like that. My macroes are called mlambda because of this confusion.

"Blackcurrant seed oil for prevention of atopic dermatitis in newborns: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial"

"Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 2010"

"Background: The present increased incidence of atopic diseases has been associated with an altered intake of essential fatty acids (EFAs). The composition of blackcurrant seed oil (BCSO) corresponds to the recommended dietary intake of EFAs, and as a dietary supplement could, in small doses, modify the imbalance of EFAs in an efficient way."

"Objective: To assess the effect of dietary supplementation with BCSO on the prevalence of atopy at 12 months of age."

"Conclusion Dietary supplementation with BCSO was well tolerated and it transiently reduced the prevalence of atopic dermatitis. It could therefore be one potential tool in the prevention of atopic symptoms when used at an early stage of life."

Why would they log into a public ledger? That's not how the PKI works.
An approach that has been working for me is to work bottom-up. Think about what basic functionalities you need, and start implementing them. Once they work properly, you can start composing an orchestrating them to larger units. That way you're less prone to build Babylonian towers of superfluous abstractions and indirections. Doing it in a way that's maintainable and extensible should come with experience.

There's no reason to avoid static functions. It's just a better syntax and it's a shame it cannot be applied to class declarations as well.
Also, a bank with this level of incompetence is going to be roasted by regulators.

What seems to be happening in the past 5 years is BigTech aggressively
pushing into education. Get them hooked young. A sixth form
(high-school) headmaster proudly told me how his school was not under
the thumb of Microsoft, because his was a "Google Academy". I have no
idea what that even means by the way - other than that money changed
hands in a back room deal.

Kids may not be told expressly "You must use Vendor X", but network
effects and non-interoperability will pressure them in subtle ways.
This is exacerbated when teachers ask students to submit course-work
via proprietary vendor platforms. A departure from open standards and
neutral tools, toward monopoly proprietary suppliers is obviously
unacceptable in education. But the rationale, as always, is economic,
and against a background of deskilling of educational ICT.

Wherever I get to choose tools and direct students I pick the most
universal, accessible, free and open source software I can.

Quote 1: "Next year, I’ll be entering my 10th year of being formally employed to write code. Ten years! And besides actual employment, for nearly 2/3 of my life, I’ve been building things on the web. "

Math: If 2/3 => 10, then 3/3 => X. X = 3/3 * 10 div 2/3; X = 30/2; X = 15. So the author is 15 years old and writing code since 5 years old, and during this time he was also employed. Unusual but not unheard to be employed as a child.

Quote 2: "I was 19 years old when I applied for my first technical job. The position I was applying for was called “Student Webmaster”."

Oaw there, we just calculated she's 15 so how was she 19 when first employed? Something's off on one of above quotes.

The method I use has a medical name, but I can't remember it unfortunately (it's actually used for heart palpitations, but I found that it worked just as great for hiccups). It's basically lying on your back while holding your breath and applying pressure down on your lungs from both your chest/throat.

In my 20's I got a lot of hiccups, usually because I was drinking and talking at the same time; but due to the placebo effect eventually I would only need to lie on my back for 1-3 seconds, pretend to hold my breath and then I could get back up and it'd be cured.

Thanks for this, it's interesting to see how others are hosting these kinds of setups. Been wanting to move to it for a while but kube (which I know best) is quite large and the idea of ensuring really solid data backups often has me on edge a bit when not using something like AWS (I have a small server at home I'd use).

Appreciate the detail around BackupPC as well!
PKI works nicely under its presumptions, but a public ledger (like CT where TLS certificates are logged to) is a useful enhancement to it. That way you can actually verify things instead of just trusting the CA.
If you are disproving wide claims like "you can't run a business without MSOffice", even one contrary example is enough to make the claim invalid. Of course, I can imagine some scenarios where compatibility with a proprietary format world impede business processes, but I think that for a vast majority of businessess it is a non-issue.
