Lua gets used on more embedded systems than you might expect, since it's small, fast, and doesn't need floats.

You turn the garbage collector off, tune the allowed step size, and trigger collection in steps when it's allowed. Having the Lua VM and GC around is not the hard part of getting hard real time guarantees out of such a system.

With Lua, those parts get written in C for the most part. With Common Lisp it's possible to use one language for both parts. At least as I'm told, by those who should know, I've not tried writing any CL which wasn't comfortably high level.
ultimately, who gets to decide who is and who isn't a terrorist, in the mind of an AI?

> If zero indexing were so great, mathematicians would have made it the default centuries if not millennia ago

They did. For any context where the index contributes to the math[1] (i.e. is not simply a label convention like "the x (first) component") the index always start at zero. Polynomials, Fourier series, geometric series, Bessel functions (both their order and their series expansions), etc.

I'm philosophically opposed to referencing it to "whatever amount would be required to make renewables competitive" but more aligned to "whatever amount represents the true costs, including externalities" (and making the same levies against renewables as well, for mining externalities, waste disposal, etc). Or true costs plus a small margin to ensure there's a nudge.

I don't mind people being exposed to the true cost of their energy; I want that. I don't want to get into picking winners and losers by referencing them to economics of an unrelated power source.

I can imagine there’s a direct connection to Apples announcement on Sep 7th.

Might be totally wrong, but did anybody else hear that rumor?

How people perceive you is not dictated by a precise definition of the word. You seem to be aware that people are perceiving you in a particular way but rather than adjusting your communication you are trying to argue with them about their interpretation instead. I don't know you and it's perfectly possible that if we were having beers I would think you were a perfectly reasonable person. But be aware that in text this:

You should look up the word before you use it incorrectly.

comes across as arrogant whether you intended it to or not. And continuing to use your current style of phrasing is gong to continue to make people think you are arrogant regardless of whether you actually are or not.

>search engines

You can decompose a "search engine" into multiple big components and figure out what you want to look at first:

(1) web crawler/spiders

(2) database cache of web content -- aka building the "search index"

(3) algorithm of scoring/weighing/ranking of pages -- e.g. "PageRank"

(4) query engine -- translating user inputs into returning the most "relevant" pages

Each technical topic is a sub-specialty and can be staffed by dedicated engineers. There are also more topics such as lexical analysis, distributed computing (for all 4 areas), etc.

If you're mainly focused on experimenting with programming another ranking algorithm, you can skip part (1) by leveraging the dataset from Common Crawl:
https://index.commoncrawl.org/

Here are some videos about PageRank:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGQe4kiPnrU , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxEkY8OScYY

You won't get a visa to stay in NL beyond the default Schengen tourist visa. If you want permission to live in NL for longer, you'll have to apply for a residence permit.

If you're American, you can get a DAFT self-employment visa for about 2k EUR total (app fee plus various other professional services to set it up). But then you absolutely will be filing NL taxes and paying NL taxes. They are indeed very high compared to US. You will also still be filing US taxes, although you won't owe the US since you will have already paid more in NL.

I do not recommend NL for digital nomad who plan to stay longer than a "brief" visit of a month or two. If you're only staying a month or two, you're not a resident and won't have to bother with NL taxes.

Also, winter is dark and sucky, and summer is heaven except for the new brief periods of VERY HOT days. Keep in mind that most places do not have air conditioning.
> Malta rolled out a “nomad residence permit” late last year that allows non-European Union remote workers earning at least €2,700 ($2,755) a month to live on the Mediterranean island nation for up to a year. (Digital workers from elsewhere in the EU aren’t included in the program, as they don’t need a permit to work in Malta.) The Maltese government has since processed more than 400 applicants, the majority from the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

But, if you go to Malta and live there more than 6 months per year, and work as a software engineer, you will have to work for a company based on Malta... unless the company you are working for has a branch in Malta or is using an intermediate company to hire you. Same for any other country in Europe. Many think that "Oh, I'll work for a German company earning German money while working from a beach in Portugal". Well, that's definitely possible, but the vast majority of German companies hiring remotely: a) do not have a branch in Portugal, and b) do not use intermediate companies to hire talent. So, more often than not, if you want to work from Portugal more than 6 months per year your pool of companies to apply for will be mostly Portuguese ones.

Also, even if you think "oh well, then I'll work from Germany 6 months and 1 day per year, and from Portugal the rest of the year", that may not work for some companies. Some companies, allow you to work from abroad (within the EU) but for a maximum of 3 months (becaues of health insurance issues).

All of this applies if you are an employee. For contractors, that's different.

Yes, as you also share terrible things like stress, anxiety etc that often comes with these kind of jobs.

I had a VW bug in high school that had some kind of short that would constantly drain the battery. I just got in the habit of parking on a small rise, i could put the car in neutral, roll down, pop the clutch and off i went. The fuel gauage also didn't work but i could pop the clutch then hit the brakes and turn off the engine and listen to the gas slosh to get an idea of how much gas i had. Speedometer didn't work either but didn't seem to be much of a problem. heh reverse also didn't work... not much worked on that car. it sure was fun though.

If you work for 90 days or less then nothing happens.

If you work for 91+ days then you don't maintain your US employment. You must find new employment in The Netherlands and get a work visa. That may mean staying at your current company and switching from the US based company to their NL based company, but it's still a new job. You'll pay taxes in the NL, but you may get a SIGNIFICANT discount for the first 5 years as an IT worker [0].

You will still need to pay taxes in the US, but you'll get a discount of any taxes already paid to the NL so, effectively, you won't need to actually pay any taxes since taxes are higher in the NL. You'll still file every year.

I can't imagine parents paying for their kids to do the extra course if it costs them a fraction of that for their kid to drive a regular sedan.

You need to do a pilot study to see if accidents can be reduced. This could be done in a Western town that has tens of miles from it to anywhere else, so you are only putting a few thousand people through the course.

This could be financially incentivised, so people get paid to do the course. If the results are good then you could make it so that people buying a truck or wanting to drive one get $500 off if they have done the course, with insurers in on it so that it just becomes easier to do the course. No freedom to be American need be jeopardised.

Typescript doesn't have semantics on its own. It's a syntax for JavaScript with a static type checker on top. A lot of JavaScript isn't really suitable for a low level language because of GC, heavy use of very flexible objects, any, only a number type instead of int8/16/... and float32/64, ...

Assemblyscript is essentially a very restricted, low level variant of TS.

If you really want JavaScript in WASM, you can already get that by using Spidermonkey compiled to WASM as an interpreter. A compiled version of TS could be interesting, but would be a lot of work and would come with a lot of difficult challenges for getting could performance.

I will say though that I'd much rather use Rust than AS though, so I do see how the language has limited appeal.

It's a slippery slope to so many other issues. An issue that is black and white today can become grey tomorrow. Sanctioning a corporation to take moral decisions is giving them too much power. I would rather corporations not have such power and we use the legal route to control societal conduct.
