Another battery is another 10-15% loss of efficiency, which makes charging 10-15% more expensive. Far better in most situations to distribute the spike it to the grid.
This is great! I have a lot of tools built in notebooks that I'd like to be able to share with non-technical collaborators, and have been procrastinating building a UI in Flask or Django as I'm really not interested in front-end stuff. This is a fun and simple way to deploy that won't be a distraction from collection and analysis I actually enjoy. I look forward to using it!

Yes, it's "let" in Swift and in some (semi)functional programming languages too.

> in practice "var" are an order of magnitude more rare than "val"

Or rather, it should be that way. Agreed, and I think because the world has been moving more and more towards functional style over the past decades, I'd predict that the next big language that will make it to the mainstream will likely take the approach "immutability by default".

The devil is in the details: the capitalize example will badly fail on an empty string right? (substring will throw a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException).

So we guarantee you you'll get a String back. And hear this: we also guarantee you, 100%, it's going to be non null. And we guarantee you that the reference to that non null String is going to be immutable.

Oh but wait: maybe you'll get a RuntimeException instead...
There is a talk by that name that popularised it.

https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog/funct...

Basically you have business domain objects that have value semantics and are immutable. You have functions that manipulate these objects. This makes the business domain unit-testable. Then on the edge of the application you have imperative code that manipulates databases, serves requests, etc. It’s like Haskell but as a design pattern rather than a language.

In the JVM world, Scala and Clojure communities are adopting this approach.
This is not true. I was in college and there was no hazing.

Your own roommates could bully you and then you can ask to change rooms. You might not be able to get new one, but it is not nearly the same institutionalized hazing.
> If its used to keep pensioners solvent, social safety nets functioning, food on tables, education regardless of social class and general access to healthcare - then its absolutely fine by me

What's even more frustrating was the removal of 32-bit apps in Catalina and the continued deprecation of OpenGL. So many functional apps where the developers have lost interest are now non-functional. Not to even start on the irritating, vista-like security prompts for apps that are not signed (which in development is a lot...).

MacOS has become less and less pleasant to use in that last 3 to 5 years for me as a developer, because of this. Which is such a shame, because the new Macbook Pro's are really amazing machines, hardware-wise. Great keyboard, Magsafe, no Touchbar, amazing screen and great battery life.

There has been a vast increase in the proportion of administrators to faculty and students on college campuses throughout the US [1]

The result of this is greater administrative political power versus faculty and students, which leads to campus and academic culture being reorganized to suit administrators over faculty and students.

The cause of this is lots of available money needing to be spent, from huge tuition increases over the decades, in turn driven by government policy. Guaranteed student loans and their inability to be discharged in bankruptcy had unintended consequences.

On Android - my platform - 99% of var usage is just for the sake of dependency injection, which is an inevitable concession because basic building blocks of an app (like Activities, Fragments) are instantiated by the SDK, not your code, so neither your code nor the libraries it relies on have control over it and thus the DI has to happen "on the fly", by mutating fields as soon as it becomes possible. It leaves a bit of a bad taste still, but it's very much a fixed convention and therefore kind of... compartmentalized, I guess. And harmless, because I don't expect Dagger 2 to suddenly misbehave and forget to set a field.

Well, you don't really know, but you can make certain assumptions. Money is like a social network with network effects, which means that people want to hoard casino chips which are most popular, and thus they also want to accept them in trade and reject everything else. This keeps them in the most popular economic network, and also keeps the casino chips valuable.

However, if there's something wrong in the casino chips itself (like inflation), people start to switch to a better version of casino chips, and they can assume that everyone switches, sooner or later, to the best alternative available, with least issues and largest network. Network effects will keep the new casino chips valuable as long as there's no better alternative.

I don't think I've ever owned a pair of earbuds headphones or otherwise that failed anywhere other than a wire coming loose internally. To be fair, I've also tended to buy fairly cheap headphones because I've internalized this as such a likely outcome, so maybe I'm living a self fulfilling prophecy.
Far less than humanity has spent on "convince people to buy product X" when X has many alternatives that are perfectly serviceable...or even superior.
You're assuming giving away money philanthropically is easy! It's not. If you do it wrong you end up giving all your money to grifters and outright fraud. Look at the disaster the lockdown "loans" turned into in most countries. Billions and billions trousered by fraudsters. I'm not a fan of the GF actually but the primary constraint on how quickly Gates can give away money isn't his personality but rather the availability of non-fraudulent people who can actually do something useful and good with the funds. If the rate at which worthwhile beneficiaries can be identified is less than the ROI of the parked money, you get a foundation with growing funds instead of shrinking funds as you'd expect.

And frankly the reason I'm not a Gates Foundation fan is exactly that it funds all sorts of low quality nonsense research, and has distorted the disease fighting community in all kinds of ways. Not saying I'd be able to do it better mind you. Just that any time you have vast sums of money and give it away you always end up distorting things and maybe creating new problems via broken incentives.

For me, it depends. There are good videos, and there are not so good books.
Problem is, you can't know which is which before having seen/read them.

Regarding Youtube, if you have an account there you can curate your experience. Any video you didn't like? Erase it from your history. Any channel whose producer kills your nerves with over-dramatizing, grimacing, adverts? Block it.
Any channel which produces vapid fluff which you find uninformative, boring, etc.? Block it. Any channel which trends on the homepage, which you see when you go there without cookies, and logged out? Block them.

That gives a vastly different experience, with much less trash. I guess I have a few hundred blocks now, and almost no subscriptions to any channels. Much better discoverability of new stuff that way, and no spam from subscribed channels either.

Btw., who is saying that books aren't biased? ;->

Furthermore different people have different 'neuroarchitectures', habits, training, resulting in different 'learning experiences' and preferences.

I think there are topics which profit from hyperlinking. Especially when complex and interlinked with other complex topics.

But... it needs to be produced with 'readability' in mind, otherwise it's a mess. Think of it as a Mind- or Concept-map, maybe with something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explorable_explanation embedded , for getting an overview into something new.

OTOH there are videos on YT where people just present something with a few slides, sometimes short animations which are excellent, no matter if hobbyist, some technical conference, or academic context.

No comparison to something from History Channel, Disney, National Geographic, or such. While National Geographic has excellent 'production values', WTF they need to spoil that with background music? (This is the one thing that is aggravating me so much in documentaries.)

Long story short: There are many things which can profit from animations, short video clips, or full documentary style. Also talented and competent speakers.

See it as a thing where countless words, and maybe formulas and illustrations have been compressed into a 'flip-book', thereby reaching an information density which enables you to get into it fast, or even to understand it at all because it is so vast, needing that density to even try to get all that stuff across.

Of course, if you're already deep into something, then most of what's available will only make you yawn. But still, I've been surprised by some things which I've thought I'd knew very well, but didn't :-)

IMO hypermedia is the way to tackle the ever growing complexity of interdisciplinary science in general, and also for the sciences themselves.

It should vary over the course of the month, but not a few hours. Many people experience the feeling that the moon is bigger when it’s near the horizon. It’s a feeling.

This makes sense, and I imagine I'd have the same feeling if I went back.

The stakes may or may not have been lower, but they felt lower. Today's world is one where if you make a mistake at 18, you're stuck with it for life, and it's not because the university administrators will be out for your head (they probably won't be) but because the internet never forgets. The regulatory apparatuses we need to put between employers/governments and all the information (unreliable as it is) about us that's out there is... 20 years, at least, behind where it needs to be. You can't burn down your past and create a new story anymore, and there's a sense among the young that every minute not spent "hustling" (whatever the fuck that is) is a minute in which the competition is getting ahead and they aren't.

The change of attitude is definitely noticeable. Whether it's a change of social actuality is leass clear. The thing is, bad things still happened to young people who made small mistakes, if they were of low social class. They just disappeared and fell (back) into regular working-class oblivion. And today, the rich kids are still invincible because they'll hire PR firms to fix up their reputations if things go against them. The "feel" (for lack of a better word) of our society is distinctively more oppressive, but I'm not sure if the thing itself has actually changed that much over the past 30 years. I suppose I'd need more data.
But actual attempts at socialism always require authoritarianism which is why it's never worth distinguishing them. Sweden isn't actually socialist, that's some US idea that would get you laughed at in Europe itself. Sweden is a capitalist democracy like any other. Relatively minor differences in tax rates does not a socialist country make!

Yesterday I helped a guy to register his little perfume company’s trademark on a government platform. We filled in all the fields and then unexpectedly (to me) it just asked for a picture. I thought okay, maybe we’ll get back to it after a designer makes a logo.

The guy pulls his iphone and creates a note. “Good fonts”. Three enters, <companyname>, enter, parfum. He asks how to make first line bigger, I show him. He indents with spaces. I point out that alignment is not exactly centered. “Looks okay”, he takes a screenshot, crops it to a rectangle and sends it to me to upload into the form, and to his chinese partner, straight into production.

There is no contradiction here.

Just because something is a lovely animal doesn't mean I won't put a round through it's heart and butcher it's corpse to sustain my life. Elk are beautiful animals, but I have no problem killing one and eating it. We are the greatest predator Nature has ever evolved and I can accept that. More's the pity others can't.
Because they're actually using it as a currency. Consequently, they probably won't feel as much of the pain speculators are feeling right now / will continue to feel; as long as the amount of $FOO earned from a day's work pays for the day's expenses, they have little reason not to continue adopting and using $FOO (for whatever value of $FOO we're using).

Put differently: when the options are "failed local currency" v. "hard to obtain foreign currency" v. "easy to obtain electronic currency", you and I would probably be inclined to use the third option.
Declassified files reveal British interest in Falkland Islands oil
Depth of field, quite literally here! Here are some rules of thumb: If you increase depth of scene, you can use depth of field in two ways. In portraits, you can create greater subject separation because the closer focal point of chicken will be in focus, but the horizon line will be very blurred. Taken at human eye-level, most of the background of a chicken will be grass that's close-by, and therefore a similar blurriness (or 'bokeh'). That makes it harder to discern subject.

Secondly, if you open up the depth of field with a very deep scene, you create more possibilities for composition, framing or storytelling. Again, all you have at human eye level is chicken/grass. At chicken eye level, with a very deep focal range, you might also be able to tell the story of the chicken in 'the great outdoors', you may see mountains and forests on the horizon etc.

Hope that helps.

I had the same experience, but I don't think it's a matter of being "good" at the game so much as having memorized all of the stupid ways to die (many of them insta-deaths ) plus how to avoid them, and knowing the mechanics of how to win (I think you're supposed to figure out the invocation ritual by giving tons of money to the Oracle, but it's been decades and I can't recall if I learned it that way or just read spoilers). edit: just remembered the whole vibrating square thing and that there are a few ways of making a run unwinnable, which is a kick in the teeth when you have a promising @ going.

Maybe that's just splitting hairs (is that just becoming "good"?) but in retrospect, I don't think that getting good at nethack was worth the investment in time and frustration. I will say that playing nethack improved my vocabulary.

Big fan of that approach as well, but there's no reason why you can't do it in Java. Records and streams are your friends. It's actually rather straightforward to start from a neat, functional pipeline and then do whatever at the edge.

Of course you can't have the pure/impure distinction enforced, but nothing that isn't a purely functional language is going to give you that.

The only really dumb limitation is that you can't have freestanding functions, but that's aesthetics more than substance.
