Also, BBC BASIC was developed by Sophie Wilson who later designed ARM processor architecture which we use everywhere today.
When theres lot of competition, the problems being asked get progressively harder and more obscure, so that they no longer test your actual understanding of DSA, but how much leetcode you have grinded.

Many times interviewers dont have time to come up with new questions, and just end up asking a more obscure question.

so this selects for people who do more leetcode than people who write more practical code.

I dont know the solution to this either.

(Maybe where you live, the competition can be less and you can get away with good DSA fundamentals, here it's not like that.)

Question -- Is the cost of projects such as Webb so high because of high launch costs, which in turn has a cascade effect on limiting the the projects that get launched to space, and therefore requiring that they be built to higher specifications because you only get one shot at it? If so, then will the lower cost of space access from future vehicle development (such as Star Ship, and others that may follow) make projects such as future James Webb scopes and deep space probes much cheaper, if they know they can easily launch replacements and iterate the designs? Or is this just fantasy at this moment? I haven't really found much other than speculation comments (such as mine), but would like to see a professional's opinion.
BBC BASIC was/is the wonderful lovechild of BASIC and BCPL, and was a joy to code in back in the day. Significant amounts of the regular user applications that weren't CPU bound for RISC OS were coded in it, and most of the rest were coded with it, as it had a built-in multipass assembler.
So then building them as "network states" is a recognition that nation states have lost the control they had a century ago due to advances in technology and communications. Distance and locality isn't as important when the internet makes telepresence feasible.
Could you not, at least theoretically, create two synchronized clocks and physically transport one of them to another location and then throw a beam of light from the location of the first clock and measure the time of arrival at the second clock? Am I missing something?

Edit: What I was missing was time dilation. Physically transporting the clocks would mean that they are no longer synchronized.

Have you done any research into the budgeting process?

Edit: I googled it. Here's the first paragraph of the first link from DDG:

> The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to cost NASA $9.7 billion over 24 years. Of that amount, $8.8 billion was spent on spacecraft development between 2003 and 2021; $861 million is planned to support five years of operations. Adjusted for inflation to 2020 dollars, the lifetime cost to NASA will be approximately $10.8 billion.

So "spacecraft development" comprised about 90% of the total budget. Of the remainder, 96% is allocated to "five years of operations". So we have about $39 million left over, which I assume covers the launch and everything around it. If you want to try optimizing that, go ahead, but it is nearly a rounding error (0.4% of budget) in the grand scheme of things.

There is an argument to be made that a few million dollars saved is valuable. I would propose a counterargument, that the amount of friction induced by working with private contractors (especially contentious and manipulative ones like those who run SpaceX) would add to some of the development costs, so the savings may not be as big as you think from a naive comparison.

I think that using ProtonMail Bridge defeats the purpose of using ProtonMail in the first place. At this point there is no real difference to other hosts, except that the emails themselves are encrypted on ProtonMail's servers.

Now you are using another email client that you have to take care of its security yourself, and besides, anyone who has access to your machine will have access to your email when you turn on Bridge and open your email client. A big part of Protonmail is that these emails are not "stored" (cached, whatever) on your machine.
I recently opened a bag of Sichuan pepper bought from a street vendor in Sichuan fifteen years ago. Still highly potent, more so than the stuff carried by local import stores.
It’s a matter of scope. Axioms are assumptions that undergird the formal edifice (those or mathematics or arithmetic) whereas assumptions are local to the theory. ‘Assumptions’ is a synonym of ‘postulates’. Axioms are foundational, such as m×n=m×n (which is true for scalars, but not true in general for matrices).

That seems more along the lines of starting over from first principles. IIUC it gives stable identifiers separate from routing location such that the multihoming issue is resolved.

CJDNS and Pinecone both seem to be layering an alternate routing model based on identity rather than network location. So, building on the existing system, rather than replacing it.

If you look at the website of the organisation that lobbied for this (https://brightpathstrong.org/about/), you'll see that several of Thorpe's grandchildren are honorary board members, as well as prominent tribal leaders and others, and the cause has been championed by congresswoman Deb Haaland, so clearly many people do care.

Garlic has a different chemical in it (allicin), but it hits the same receptors as capsaicin. If you've ever tasted a chimichurri with a ton of raw garlic before it's had a chance to mellow out in the oil, you'll attest that garlic can indeed be spicy.

Here are the main chemicals that are usually described as spicy - they all use the same mechanism to create a "heat" sensation, with the exception of the Sichuan peppercorns:

- Chile Peppers: Capsaicin

- Onions/Garlic: Allicin and Pyruvic Acid

- Ginger: Gingerol

- Black Pepper: Piperine

- Mustard/Horseradish/Wasabi: Allyl Isothiocyanate

- Sichuan Peppercorn: Hydroxy-Alpha-Sanshool

> Realistically, there's just not that much more I can do to really make a dent in emissions.
> (There's more I can do of course: grow my own food, install solar panels, etc. but those are marginal at best compared with, say, one person retiring their private jet and flying first class instead, not even foregoing all air travel!)

On an individual level, you're right, but it doesn't hold up in aggregate. The data I can find said that globally private jets emitted 33.7 million tons of CO2 in 2016 (I can't find more up to date/better numbers, but would love to see them if you find them).

That's definitely a problem, but at the same time, private jets are ~4% of total aviation greenhouse gases, and it's ~2% of what the US alone emits to create electricity.

Switching 2% of our dirty electricity to renewables would give us the same benefit as trying to launch a global campaign to eliminate private jets. I have a lot more faith that we could actually switch 2% of the grid to renewables than I do in reaching a global consensus to ban private jets.

> Well, I think that's why this article appearing in Bloomberg is notable: the wealthy live on the planet too, eh? It's their enviroment, eh? They can't all share New Zealand? I would hope they are as concerned and motivated to change as anyone else.

I think they are, in relative terms. That is to say, we all agree that global warming is an issue, we're just not willing to take a decrease in lifestyle to do it.

They're not as willing in absolute terms, because something like banning private jets really only impacts the wealthy.

> Sure but the question is what to do about that? I can spend my time trimming a few more units of personal emissions, or I can spend time campaigning to limit the emissions of the ultra-wealthy. It seems like the latter would be more promising, no?

It depends on your goal. If the goal is to hit the Paris Accord goals, trimming your personal emissions is probably the better option. You can definitely trim your own emissions; whether your campaigning will do anything is only a chance. If everyone makes the same choice and campaigns to regulate the ultra-wealthy, we don't hit those climate targets. They emit a lot, but not enough to hit the climate goals.

If your goal is to hit the climate targets _fairly_, then campaigning is probably the better option. The rich have a lot more to give on that front, and can give a lot before we're at the point where everyone has to start giving up quality of life.
> Fillmore, who is part Indigenous, would recognize the tribes that lived in the Boise Valley before they were banished to reservations to make way for white settlers.

It is always interesting to see when it is acknowledged that the settlers and US of 50+ years ago were predominantly white, versus when that fact is refuted or buried. For example here, when the topic is colonialism, the article does not hesitate in effectively calling them all white. But when it was about WWII veterans in Rhode Island (98.1% white in the 1950s [1] - a fact neither the article nor the university so much as hint at), portraying them as almost all white is "not representing who we are today and representing the true diversity of [University of Rhode Island] today" [2].

They want the credit for building the US, but leave the guilt for whites.

Your experiment doesn’t verify that cr = cl nor does it verify cu = cd.
Your "consensus" is not based on evidence, but purely on convenience: something did happen associated with Judea (though not, by any plausible evidence, in it) that is most conveniently accounted for by assuming an actual person did specified things there. That, without any actual evidence that any did, but a monumental volume of very obviously and universally acknowledged wholesale-fabricated evidence, clearly penned decades after any participants would necessarily have died.

What the assumption utterly fails to account for is the extraordinary volume of such obvious fabrication, of a magnitude that appears nowhere else in the historical record. If any of its subject matter were true, what would motivate the enormous industry of fabrication and insertion of late alterations into contemporaneous texts?

The gradient is toward decreasing adherence to the convenient assumption, and more critical scrutiny.
I’ve had a hell of a time just dividing a closed vector into two separate vectors. Scissors absolutely did not work sanely. What you’re supposed to do is use a line segment to bisect the vector. Then select just the vector and the line. Then go and find the shape builder tool and click on the two parts separately. This is madness.

Why can’t I just draw a line from one part of the path to another and have it recognize that.

There’s no trim feature, you have to mess around with whatever the hell the join function is.

I’m coming from fusion 360 where everything is an intuitive dream to work with. Illustrator is straight trash.
To be quite honest: I don't think there is anything along those lines. But if want to tackle it I recommend looking for PDF copy of Types and Programming Languages by Benjamin C. Pierce. It contains all necessary typing rules — barred the whole inference magic — be it System F, ADTs or Records.

EDIT: Oh and also contains the reduction rules ofcourse! Though the book assumes you now how to read inference rules. ;)

That's literally the phenomenon the article is describing.
This flavor of criticism is odd to me, it seems to have a very rigid definition of "how many people" using as a measure of success and perhaps more perplexingly, presumes "the network will always be too slow," as if tech improvements on these networks isn't likely. It may not be BTC or ETH, but given fungibility (and perhaps, clever airdrops) it seems at least plausible, if not likely, that people will come up with "a fast enough network to get stuff done."

There may be one in the works now, I do have literal money on Pulsechain/PRC-20.

I don't really disagree, but I would note they aren't arbitrary, there's some topics they're interested in and write about. Like Rust and data visualization. Lots of them are about gluing together two popular technologies. I imagine that this a compromise between their expertise and which topics are trendy. I agree it's for sure a marketing strategy, and that that necessarily makes the content middling to good but never great.

Sometimes I'm interested in some pair of technologies that feels like something Logrocket would write about, and it usually turns out to be true. If you wanna use D3 with your favorite frontend framework and want to avoid some of the pain of starting out, you'll probably find a reasonable competent explanation and avoid some of the early pitfalls.
Right. It's not the paper or stone tablets that ever made any changes. It was the people willing to do it in the real world. So the point is that blockchains don't open up any new possibilities that weren't there before. People always could've done whatever they were willing to do. Blockchains may have some benefits, but it's not as if people starting independent states was impossible before them.

> Do you mwean, why use a good, "abstracted" game engine if you can make a bad, "simple" one yourself?

you should definitely make something good instead of something bad. I don't understand what you mean by this.

> Or why make portable games "instead of thinking about what the computer is really doing"?

I'm assuming by "portable games" you mean the code is easily able to be ported to other platforms. code portability and "thinking about what the computer is really doing" are not orthogonal concepts.

> Do you think advanced games could be made if the designer doesn't "think about things in these high-level, abstracted terms"?

there is nothing wrong with thinking about game design in high-level, abstracted terms. what is misguided is thinking code should be written this way.

> I suggest an exercise to understand the value of abstraction: a remake of a Commodore 64 game using JavaScript (Canvas to simply draw pixels, nothing fancy).

I'm having trouble understanding why you've made this suggestion for me? what does it have to do with anything?

I was the engine architect for a couple of team game projects I worked on in college a few years back. at the time, the Unity ECS/scene hierarchy system was The New Hotness and everyone was evangelizing it, professors were encouraging us to explore using it (without giving any implementation or theory advice—our first project had to be written in C89, the second, C++).

it was a gigantic waste of time and resources. we could have made our games functionally identical in a fraction of the time if we just did things the easy, obvious way, and then we could have used all that extra time to make those games that much better.

My current beliefs about how people use and trust information on the Web.

First, trust is _everything_ on the Web, it is the thing people first think of when arriving on some information. But how people evaluate trust has changed dramatically over the last 10 years.

- Trust now comes almost exclusively from social proof. Searching reddit, youtube, etc and other extremely _moderated_ sources of information, where the most work is done to ensure content comes from actual human beings. How many of us now google `<topic> reddit` instead of just `<topic>`?

- Of course a lot of this trust is misplaced. There's a very thin line between influencers and cult leaders / snake oil salesmen. Our last President used this hack really effectively.

- Few trust Google's definition of trust anymore -- essentially page rank. This made more sense when the Web essentially was social, where inbound links were very organic. Now with the trust in general Web sites evaporated, the main 'inbound links' anyone cares about come from individuals or community they trust or identify with. They don't trust Googles algorithm (its too opaque, and too easily gamed).

This of course means the fracturing of truth away from elites. Sometimes this could be a good thing, but in many cases cough Covid cough it might be pretty disastrous for misinformation

Yeah.

A few comments as someone who has done a lot of writing both pre- and post-computers.

- I am most certainly not Hemingway but you could write on a typewriter--especially inverted pyramid, newspaper style. Yes, you did compose a sentence or a paragraph mentally. And, then, between you and/or an editor there was various (literal) cutting and pasting/scratching out/etc.

- However, you get used to certain styles of doing things. These days, I mostly don't even like writing someplace I don't have Internet access because I'm accustomed to being able to check facts, look something up, etc. on the fly. Hard copies of research materials are just a partial solution.

- Yes, focus is a thing but there are probably better ways to achieve it than using something that is so suboptimal in other ways.
