uh, you just threw in a bullshit factor of 10 on the caloric content of chicken. a kg of assorted skeletal chicken meat is about 2500 kcal. A broiler is about 70% meat. Most crops are less than a quarter as land efficient as feed corn. Chicken is as environmentally friendly as those crops.

In addition to RISC-V being more flexible than ideal here, PowerPC is more complicated as an instruction set which is a drawback if you're a student learning to implement your first processor or in a deeply embedded role. But given the huge amount of effort that goes into a high performance core it gets lost in the noise and it lets you execute tasks in fewer instructions without crazy difficult to implement levels of instruction fusion.
> All the supposed benefits to loans being cancelled is equally applicable to tax cuts, except it would have less unintended consequences and better targeted

Exactly.

Better yet: send every adult 10k, no qualifying criteria required. For those that pay taxes, they can think of it as a tax cut. For those that have student debt, they can think of it as debt being cancelled. For everyone else, they can think of it as cash. Or as a "dividend" a la Andrew Yang.

Not saying it's a great idea, but it makes more sense than this govt unintended consequece du jour.

The thing is, if you search for something enough you will end up learning it. It's a natural way to learn things.

This is how people become software engineers these days. They _constantly_ look stuff up, watch videos, and learn by doing that. Yes, you can still go to college and take tests that require you to "know" things, but honestly the vast majority of what I "knew" in college turned out to be short-term knowledge stored for tests.

He has continued to update the paper (as recently as last year), it has not been retracted, and he appears to maintain the proof is correct on his YouTube channel.

We all make mistakes, and no one would really care if he admitted this. What makes the case notable is that he has enough mathematical training that he should be able recognize the proof is wrong. Especially after the errors are uncovered by others and communicated to him. Continuing to assert the proof is correct after errors have been found is bizarre.
Mind sharing what is the project that you picked?
A few years back, 2013 through early 2016, my day rate was $1,600 USD, I frequently worked on-site so my travel rate was $75/hr to discourage people from calling me in unncessarily. If I was doing that work today, I'd be probably upping those day rates to $2,000 or $2,400 with zero travel.

Right now I charge $1,000/day. I do precisely 8 hours. Zero travel. No out of normal work hours. No weekends. No unreasonable demands. No arseholes. No toxicity. No guilting me into delivering something. No awkward conversations about "well why isn't X done yet?" No high stress. No "we must deliver this by Tuesday at all costs." No "we need you to go hard on this problem." No "we need you to come in to the office for this."

I tend to work with young start-ups who have interesting problems to solve. The downside is that this frequently involves working with first-time founders who lack boundaries or start-ups who think because they paid "for a day" that a "day" involves 20 hours of work. I'm getting better about stating that "I start at 9AM local time and stop at 6PM local time."

I could get more if I worked for BigCorp, or even a regular job quite possibly, but this way I get to pick and choose what I work on, and when I want to work. If I want to shift my days or hours around to take an afternoon off, I do, and I don't have to explain myself to anyone.
I think there's two clear criteria for what would rise to the board: Firstly, somthing that clearly raises legal liability - for example discovering a hack that must be disclosed publicly, that sort of thing. Or something that clearly causes a rethink in strategy. Now, I could absolutely see a scenario where Mudge comes in and goes "This is terrible, we need to massively change our plan and massively increase our focus on security" and Agrawal basically disagrees. At the end of the day it's a judgement call, so it's down to Agrawal.
This article from that time period talks about an increase in student loan defaults, with 12-18% of loans not being paid back. That's probably right around when that professor was in college!

It also talks about a general trend to federalize student loans. Does it really make sense to compare students taking federally secured loans to corporations taking private investments?
This seems to be a common thread here in the forum, but I'm very confused. You yourself claim that the steam engine was essential for pumping water - what does the "steam was irrelevant" side actually think would have provided enough energy to pump that much water? Not anything whose caloric output depended on the input from farmers' fields, for sure, those were used for other consumers. Steam for the first time gave access to an energy source independent of feeding someone or something oats, that wasn't constrained to being next to the perfect stream.

Not to mention that TFA actually has an example of a steam engine driven industry that was central to the GDP of the UK, pretty much destroying the "it was only water, never coal" argument.
Here's a neat paper on fold by Graham Hutton: "A tutorial on the universality and
expressiveness of fold"

https://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~pszgmh/fold.pdf

It gives a sufficient and necessary condition for when a function can be written as a (right) fold.

It's not clear whether the author means to say foldl and foldr are equivalent, or only that any foldl call which terminates can be converted into a foldr call.

The latter is true, but the former is false.

For finite lists, every foldl call can be translated into a foldr call that produces the same result (and vice versa).

Foldr still makes sense for infinite lists in a language w/ lazy evaluation, but foldl will recurse forever.
It claims salaries have increased only 35 percent. This seems incorrect to me. For example starting salaries for new developers where I would is roughly 30k (British pound) this is pretty much twice what I started on in 2006.

Section 5.1 walks the reader through implementing foldl in terms of foldr after laying down the ground work and gradually introducing things one concept at a time.

For me, the eye-opening insight was using foldr to generate intermediate functions as values, which is the sort of thing "functional" programming does without thinking twice, but is mind bending for someone coming from a more traditional procedural language background.

It should be Japanese, of course!

Japanese can be written using either the Latin alphabet, or Chinese characters. The two most common writing systems in the world. It can also be written with its own elegant and purely phonetic writing system. There's even Braille, Morse code, and sign language encodings. It is truly media agnostic.

Japanese has a regular grammar. From a linguist's perspective, aside from the politeness system, it's really quite normal for a language. Very little in it to surprise a Finnish, Turkish or Korean speaker. (Unlike English, which if first discovered today spoken by a people in the interior of New Guinea, would lead to accusations of a linguistic hoax.)

Finally, some 40% of Japanese vocabulary is based on Chinese, and Chinese and Japanese technical terms flow freely between the languages to this day. Another ~20% of Japanese vocabulary is borrowed from European languages like English or Portuguese. The majority of the world already speaks a significant amount of Japanese and they don't even know it! For this reason, Chinese, European, and American, alike, usually find it quite easy to learn.
It points out a hypocrisy implicit in the simplicity of "don't print money." When people complain that "you did this for them but suddenly you have a problem when it's for me?" are pointing out this hypocrisy. "This is different," requires an explanation for how, because otherwise it looks like, "Don't print money for plebs," or "Don't print money for students," or "Don't print money for non-business owners," is as accurate as it needs to be.

Isn’t a world record also relative? I mean, it’s literally “the lowest time (greatest height, longest distance, highest score, etc) that’s ever been achieved, compared to other human beings in the same event”. 2900 for Carlson is basically a world record elo score. I don’t see any arguments in T&F that a world record decathlon score, for example, wouldn’t be a worthy goal.

We don't anymore, because we already managed a lot of deforesting in our past.

> The 2005 (FAO) Global Forest Resources Assessment ranked the United States as seventh highest country losing its old growth forests, a vast majority of which were removed prior to the 20th century.[3]

>For the 300 years following the arrival of Europeans, land was cleared, mostly for agriculture, at a rate that matched that of population growth.[7] During the 19th century, while the U.S. population tripled, the total area of cropland increased by over four times, from seventy-six million to three hundred nineteen million acres. For every person added to the U.S. population during this period, farmers put another three to four acres under the plow.[8] This trend continued until the 1920s when the amount of crop land stabilized in spite of continued population growth. As abandoned farm land reverted to forest the amount of forest land increased reaching a peak in 1963 of 753,000,000 acres (3,050,000 km2).[4]

It was estimated that there were 1,023,000,000 acres of forest in 1630, compared to 766,000,000 acres in 2012.

Neutral in terms of moles of carbon atoms maybe, but not neutral in terms of kg-CO2e (CO2 equivalent), because methane is much, much more potent as as greenhouse gas than CO2.

On a 100 year horizon, it's about 30 times worse than CO2, and over 20 years, 80 times worse.

Not all carbon is equal.
The point of a journal is not for people to express their feelings, but to provide researchers with a collection of papers that are, at least, mostly, not garbage. Journals publish the work of others and farm out the review process to others, their only real functionality is that of a gatekeeper.

Since a good chunk of researchers are funded in part by the government, I guess most journals would end up having to follow this "publish everything" requirement (money is fungible and some of every grant goes to administrative overhead, so you could argue anything any most universities touch is funded in part by the government).

Most publishers publish multiple journals, though, so I guess they could follow your rule as long as they were allowed to open up the, for example, "IEEE Journal of Perpetual Motion Machines And Straightforward Proofs That P=NP."

If not the following requirements come to mind (there are more probably):

2. Switch to go stack before call

Btw there’s the cgocallback routine that manages C code that calls into go so that’s a good look to see what’s needed.

This very same post even made it to the front page like 3 days ago.
When I studied syntax as part of linguistics at the college level,

Finnish was often a go-to example because it more or less had every feature enabled.

Case and declination? Sure. Tenses? Yes. Agglutinative? Yes.

It was asserted that there a disproportionate number of linguists are Finnish because their language is a superset of many others, and by necessity almost all Finns are multilingual, and that when they are, the language families they tend to learn (Germanic, Romance, and Slavic) are all distinctly different. So by the time Finnish academics get an advanced degree their language faculties can be extraordinary.

EDIT oh yeah gender was the exception to the feature flags

Thank you, I actually didn't know this! I'd always heard about the proportion of animals that were raised on grain, as well as the percentage of crops used for animal feed, and concluded that in the US at least the majority of cattle were raised in feedlots their entire lives.

Turns out you're right, the majority start out on pasture and then are transported to feed lots to fatten up once they reach maturity.

According to this[1], due to the fact that grass fed beef fatten up more slowly, end up at a lower overall weight at slaughter, and are kept alive and emitting longer, "a nationwide shift to exclusively grass-fed beef would require increasing the national cattle herd from 77 to 100 million cattle, an increase of 30%", and "the current pastureland grass resource can support only 27% of the current beef supply (27 million cattle)".

Further -

"Emissions of methane, a greenhouse gas with a large warming effect relative to carbon dioxide per molecule, come from beef cattle in the forms enteric fermentation and manure emissions. We calculated a 43% increase in methane from enteric fermentation (table 2), assuming that cattle finishing on grass had the same daily methane emissions as present-day stocker cattle, who have nearly identical ADG and are fed primarily on roughage."

Either way it seems as if grain is an indispensable part of animal agriculture currently, so we have to take that into account when talking about what would happen to land use with or without the cows around. Additionally, it seems that moving away from grain would potentially have even worse impacts on the climate.

Come on, English is not that bad. No real verb conjugation in response to gender, person, or (to an extent) number. There are irregular verbs, sure, but due to a simpler conjugation you have to memorize way less than for eg Spanish or French. Simpler morphology - no significant agglutination, prefixes or suffixes. Only 26 glyphs. One downside is complicated phonetics though. Not just the sounds, but all the inconsistencies (like “dough”, “through”, “rough”, or “head”, “heat”, “read”).
If I understand your argument right, this is essentially saying that the dark ages were dark.

First off, I'm not even sure that narrative is true.

Second off, even if it were, there's still the Middle East and Asia. I, unfortunately, don't know a lot about the Middle East during the European dark ages period but, from what I understand, they went through a type of renaissance themselves.

The question still is, why didn't people need or use coal at the levels they did until the 1600s?
Why not Esperanto?
So the author is right on most thing. Money is only destroyed when debt is repaid or taxes are collected, so it is printing money. He might not be right in his chapter on inflation (but he correctly put caveats, inflation is probably one of the most complex economic happening and our current models feel a lot like Ptolemy geocentric model). The chapter following that is wrong imho. He put caveats but read like it will hurt the poorest. It won't, not in the US at this moment. Not everything is fungible. (I'm on a phone, sorry for not developing my thoughts)
Now I need to know if this is also satire or if I need to start learning Japanese
I always thought of it as the other way around. Industrial and agricultural machinery was ultimately cheaper than owning slaves to do the same work. The industrial revolution happened, and slaves were no longer economical. The same goes for draft animals, too.

i didn't do college and i ended up in a pretty nice position. House paid for, car paid for, rv paid for, plenty of money for food /bills / fun. Could i have ended up in an even better position? maybe, but i could have ended up worse too.

I had some crap jobs sure, but i got the experience to move up and on. Call centers, warehouse jobs, tech support - ended up a system administrator without any class work or even any certs.

There is nothing wrong with the blue collar jobs either, they tend to make more money after 4 years experience than a recent college grad. And lots of them end up being their own boss!

However, there's a running theory that he has kinda burnt out his nose working with certain compounds, as he seems mostly unphased by smelly chemicals that other people very much struggle working with.
