If you think of value as being determined by the prices people are willing to pay and not necessarily the actual prices, it’s not much of a surprise that often we pay less for things than their value to us. Paying the full value for essentials like food and water would be very bad and it’s fortunate that they can be delivered for a lot less. (Though, sometimes prices are too low, given the damage that supply chains do.)

In your thought experiment, if the cost of labor rose due to stricter enforcement of immigration laws, we would see what luxuries people can cut back on and what essentials they won’t give up. But the pandemic showed some of this already. Lots of money is spent on luxuries like eating out and travel. (And, yes, iPhones.)

Somewhat tangential, but one of the most informative thread on interpreter performance optimization.
Every public facing, serious API I've worked on has had users trying to game for free usage. You have to build systems to prevent it. The user OP describes sounds more like what you point out, rather than running multiple accounts.

OP, can you reach out to them and ask why? Ask them what they like about it and what they are using it for first. Try to work with them rather than against. Maybe offer them a 6 month deal, maybe the call is enough
> Besides, what plausible reasons do hospitals have for refusing care based on information from experian? Do you think hospital administrators despise people with under 800 credit score and want them to die of illness?

Hospitals want to get paid for their work same as anyone else. But if occasionally someone has a low credit score not because they're an actual credit risk but because an ex-spouse lied about them, or because they published an article critical of Experian, then they're going to lose access to medical care all the same.
Well, that widget doesn't exactly tell the full story -- if I have 500 bucks in checking on Friday but rent is due on Monday, I cant realistically go out and blow cash on a weekend adventure even if the home screen widget suggests otherwise. Same logic goes for all your expenses. What you need is a forecast of future minimum balance, and current balance is a start, but you still have to do mental accounting for future required expenses banks dont typically mention.

But what a charge card does for you is kind of nice though: it converts all the random unpredictable expenses into a single, deferred, interest free lump sum payment. Also: maybe I'm boring but at the monthly level those random expenses smooth out into something more predictable to where I can pencil in average payments every month and be pretty accurate. But when I'm wrong, I have 30 days to figure it out, instead of ... instant pain.

The method you describe can work for people, and it did for me when I started grad school. But I've moved on to more complicated tracking. Now that I make 10x what I did back then, annual budget spreadsheets and double entry accounting is kind of required to optimize the tax bills I get these days.

And of course, the cash back is nice =)
I'll take any feedback. If someone tells me I'm dumb and have it wrong, I thank them and fix it. Now they can't complain about it, I learned something, and someone spent their time giving me free advice.

This sounds like some mix of whataboutism and willful ignorance of the scale of the conflict and its atrocities, as well as its economic implications. Energy crisis, immigrant crisis, grain crisis, the need to pour in billions in weapons. The fact that a literal army of almost a million is defending, the scale of use of weapons such as cruise missiles by Russia. The amount of people whose grandparents have lived through Nazi invasion or camps, to see same and worse again.

Trealla is one of the most interesting new Prolog systems: Notably, as in other new systems such as Scryer and Tau Prolog and ichiban/prolog, the default setting of the Prolog flag double_quotes is chars, and therefore lists of characters can be conveniently written as double-quoted strings in Prolog code. Second, as in Scryer Prolog, such lists are very compactly encoded internally, making Trealla suitable for analyzing and processing very large amounts of text conveniently and efficiently.

In addition, file contents can be processed directly with Prolog's built-in grammar formalism, Definite Clause Grammars (DCGs): Internally, Trealla maps the file contents directly to memory with mmap(2), an innovation that is currently unique to Trealla!

There is also a recent WASM embedding:

Thank you a lot Andrew and all contributors for your great work on Trealla! It is to be hoped that these implementation techniques are also adopted in other Prolog systems!

If we are going as far as using a source of randomness in our data structures, I think treaps are conceptually just as simple if not simpler, and I think is also easier to implement than skip lists.
Same here. I've tried though for some time to get more into the Linux Kernel workflow of git and struggle to this day. I think it is great for people that have spend the time to incorporate the built-in tooling, but a lot of people simply never because it is time consuming and opinionated. The biggest hurdle is probably just having a text-based mail client and SMTP setup.

Comments can be made specific to a code line. Git notes are attached to a SHA-1. So you would first need some standard how to refer to lines or nobody else can read your comments.
FWIW, I mostly agree with your article, but I did find myself rolling my eyes a little when you started out reminding us of the origins of "Agile" and its principles, and criticising the rigid frameworks and practices it's metastasised into, but then the first piece of advice about how to "do it better" is to assume a Kanban board...

For me, the "What did you do yesterday? What do you plan to do today? Is there anything blocking you?" questions work pretty well, with the expectation than nobody spends more than about 90 seconds answering all three. (This might just be because places I've recently worked haven't had well groomed or curated Kanban boards, but have had a mid and senior-heavy dev demographic?)
David Graeber,RIP. Both 'Debt' and 'The Dawn of Everything' are wildly ambitious and brimming with ideas.
Hospitals are probably one of the places uses on-call the most. A nurse or surgeon on-call doesn't sit around the hospital (at least not where I am from). They sit at home watching TV or eating dinner with friends, knowing that if there is an emergency, they have to go to work.

So they are paid for being available at a diminished rate, and if their availability is needed, then they are paid overtime.
The article quotes a Stack Overflow post with the conditions under which V8 will optimize the switch statement:

> @LGB actually in V8 (JS engine used by google chrome) you need to jump through a lot of hoops to get switch case optimized: All the cases must be of same type. All the cases must either be string literals or 31-bit signed integer literals. And there must be less than 128 cases. And even after all those hoops, all you get is what you would have gotten with if-elses anyway (I.E. no jump tables or sth like that). True story.

In the case of this emulator, it wasn’t being optimized because it had more than 128 cases.
Another side of this is that I hate Jira, which is the kanban I am directed by work to use, so 'talk to the kanban' doesn't work for me personally. I do know highly effective PMs who are living it, and it works for them.

I truly believe to do what you propose, you probably have to be a high functional unit workwise. If you are, and you know you are, your suggestions are a laudable goal.

> the poor performance of switch for opcodes

I think you've slightly misunderstood TFA. The issue there wasn't that the switch statement was slow, per se - it was that V8's optimizing compiler didn't yet support such statements, so V8 was bailing out of its JIT step and executing the function via a (dog-slow) interpreter. In other words the function would have run painfully slow even if it returned before reaching the switch statement.

It's also maybe worth adding that gotchas like this were super common way back in the early days TFA describes, but AFAIK they are no longer a concern now. Back when V8's optimizer was primitive it used to bail out for all kinds of reasons - because it saw a "try()" statement, because a function was too long, or even just because it got confused. Nowadays it's a different world - I do a lot of JS perf work, but it's probably been two years since I've seen V8 deopt anything for any reason.

I don't "like" Bacon. or, Lucien Freud, or Basquiat. All three are patently immensely skilled artists, caught up in their own world. They have major works in galleries and I like to see them but spend no time engaging with them.

This is probably why I can't be a decent art critic: I'm too bound up in what I like, rather than what I can say about work I don't like, but do admire. Nobody expects an art critic to like everything but they have to be able to be lucid about the work. I just can't fathom whats going on in Francis Bacon's mind, or Basquiat.

I think, to the degree that inflation is driven by rising gas prices, yes, it'll have a pretty substantial effect on reducing emissions. But my understanding is that inflation is also driven by things like federal reserve policy, stimulus bills, and supply issues due to the pandemic. Even then, if people are just consuming less and doing less fossil-fuel intensive stuff due to feeling squeezed economically, that'll reduce emissions. So it's kinda complicated. In the short term, it really depends on so many factors that I couldn't tell you, though I bet someone well versed in this sort of thing might be able to give a rough answer.

But also consider: in the long term, higher gas prices due to supply shortages encourage companies to drill for and produce more oil -- because they are getting the profits. But higher gas prices due to a carbon tax have the opposite effect -- the buyer is paying more, but that's because the producer is paying the tax, and passing on some or most of that cost to the buyer. They aren't making more profit, but less -- reducing their incentive to pull more oil out of the ground. So that's something powerful that a carbon tax does that inflation doesn't.

And inflation is (ideally) a temporary thing, and variable. A carbon tax is intended to be permanent (and ideally, slowly and steadily increasing), something predictable and inevitable that people can plan around. You'll act differently if you think gas is going to go back down by 20% than if you think it's going to stay at the higher prices forever, or keep getting more and more expensive over time.

My understanding is that even the possibility of a future carbon tax has caused some companies to start reducing their fossil fuel dependency, because if a tax happens, they'll be in a better place than if they did business as usual.
I like this model of emergent (theory of) mind better. I suspect at each stage, the sensor and the sensed couple. But, I am willing to bet a snake, purely on thermal signal, can (and does) make feints to confuse prey, before striking. That means to me they have an analytical model of "if this then that" beyond the trivial.

"What it is like to be a bat" poses questions to shape and form and understanding if you intuit a higher mind lies behind the sonar.

I use mostly gitlab, not github.

Gitlab allows you to comment any line in the code even if it's not part of a MR now. In theory I find that highly useful, because you might have thoughts, findings etc. whenever looking at code, not only in a MR.

However, I have not found a way to discover any such comments later in a systematic way.

> How did these "highest traditions" come about?

The US Navy really did have a long, strong history.

If you read the Patrick O'Brien historical novels set in the Napoleonic wars you can get a good feel for how the British Royal Navy saw the US Navy as a serious force, although mostly concentrated in US waters at that time.

The US Navy was smaller than the British Navy, but they built bigger frigates (eg, the British frigates were mostly armed with 36 18-pounder cannons, while the US frigates carried 44 24-pounders).

This caused significant problems for the British in the War of 1812.

Military "traditions" are a weird thing, but old battles definitely count, especially when you win some against a bigger opponent.

Also, as mentioned elsewhere the Washington Treaty gave the US and Britain the equal biggest navies in the world throughout the 1930s. For a while during the 1920s and 30s Britain and the US were serious naval rivals too, and the affected how the US Navy thought about itself.

They provide different APIs. Websockets provide a bidirectional stream of messages. The messages in a given direction are always delivered in order. If they were to be suddenly reordered that would cause a lot of headaches.

While the individual messages can't be multiplexed, different websocket streams over a single HTTP/2 connection can be multiplexed.

I think websockets also provides a feature that HTTP/2 doesn't: the ability to easily push data from the server to browser javascript.

Interestingly I wrote a 6502 (actually Atari 6507) emulator and Z80 emulator for the MIPS R3000 in the original SONY PSX, and the only way to get the speed I needed was to use calculated jump tables rather than relying on a switch case. I know that C provides that calculated jump, but even that wasn't enough. Eventually I rewrote the entire emulator in R3000. And then I eventually switched to using CPU retargeting/recompilation from 6502 to R3000, and then used the same recompilation trick to get 6502 emulation running at a decent speed on the ARM CPU in the Nintendo Gameboy Advance.
