> It means I'm done climbing the corporate ladder. It means I can work just hard enough to pay the bills at my day job, while leaving ample free time to engage with creative pursuits that satisfy me.

Not so fast there buddy.

The reason for climbing corporate ladders is to enrich your own life and give you more wealth, which can make your life far more comfortable and gain you respect and recognition amongst peers when it is most valuable: while you are alive.

Even if you could be remembered all throughout time and even past the heat death of the universe, it would be pointless because you are dead and cannot experience this fame. You wouldn’t care either way, that’s what makes death so final.

If you are not careful, you could just end up as a wage slave contributing to the rise of someone else’s awesome life. And then you can experience the pain of being forgotten when it hurts the most: while you are still alive. You won’t have to wait till the heat death of the universe to finally be forgotten, people can just stop giving a shit about you right now. Keep climbing.

> Oh really? Try holding your breath for 60 seconds while telling yourself nothing matters…

Is this supposed to be some enlightening statement? Even if you hold your breath until you die, still, nothing matters. You will die, and that will be the end of it. Some people who love you will be disheartened for some time, maybe til the end of their own life, but that too shall pass.
Being able to print money easily is an essential feature of a successful national currency. It gives the power to central banks/government to react to event by adapting the supply of money to the economy. Bitcoin takes that away.

If we take the COVID example, most countries significantly supported their economy by printing truckloads of money to allow companies to pay their employees despite their activities basically disappearing overnight. Some even gave that money directly to the population (eg: stimulus checks). This was only possible because money is a mouse click away, all we needed to decide is how much we wanted to print, since printing money has consequences. The only question was the balance, not the capacity.

Remove that ability altogether, and COVID would have been an absolute bloodbath. Without any help from government/central banks, unemployment rate would have skyrocketed. More people on welfare and limited supply of money would also have meant that the benefits would have had to be lowered/dropped. A dire perspective compared to the relative "calm" we had if you consider that the economy almost stopped for two years straight.

It's easy to bash on central banks and governments, but they serve an essential purposed in piloting the economy, slowing things down when they turn crazy, and supporting them in times of need. They aren't perfect - of course - but the alternative of having no one the driver seat is absolutely terrifying and will lead to catastrophic situations that were the default few decades ago.

Well, a nihilist would argue your suffering & suffocation doesn’t matter either.

Of course, the paradox is if your suffering doesn’t matter, why bother avoiding suffering? Yet, if nothing matters, why not avoid suffering?

The rust philosophy is very correctness oriented and safety focused.
This, combined with a general frustration with how broken software engineering is as a whole, has led to the mindset in part of the rust community that using anything less than very rigorous type checking is unprofessional and dangerous (think Therac-25, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25).

Zig is in a sense the antithesis to that statement, in that it eschews complex tools like a sophisticated type system, in favour of simplicity and programmer enforced contracts, with the reasoning that it is easier to informally proof correctness of a simple system, than to formally proof correctness of a very complex system. The correctness of the latter often being a somewhat shallow property that is still able to miss the intended semantics (think memory vs logic bugs).

The closest analogy in programming language communities is probably clojure vs scala or haskell.
In fact there is an interesting paper on code quality, where clojure compared quite favourably to statically typed languages, despite it's dynamic nature.

You can only say this if you don't know Argentina.

Over here, free (nonprivate) public education is a point of pride. It's political suicide to dismantle the public [1] education system. People will rightfully take to the streets if someone attempts this. Same with many hospitals.

To understand what I mean, think of whatever is held dearest in US culture. Is it free speech, freedom of assembly, something like that? Now imagine if a US government told you, "we've determined freedom of speech is not fiscally feasible anymore, so we're taking it away". That's what it would feel like for us.

[1] do note in Argentina, "public" doesn't mean the same as in the US.
Photography hardly created compassion. It could maybe be said that photography can instill such feelings, but I find it hard to believe that compassion did not exist before 1860(unless the article is referencing an instance of compassion being created in a given moment).
I admittedly don't follow Rust or Zig very closely, but I think Kelley's comment is about the communities supporting the languages, not the languages themselves.

The sense I get from reading a few Twitter threads is that members of the Zig community feel that the Rust community disagrees so strongly with some of Zig's design decisions that the Rust folks suggest that the world would be better without Zig.
And because public libraries sometimes buy uninteresting books to fill their quotas.

According to the article the Corps arrived 10 days ago and the boil water notice is still in effect, so the only factual part of the editorialized headline appears to be "Jackson, MS".

Anyway, you'd expect the federal government to be able to repair a water treatment facility in a tiny city within a few days.
The fact that it is a point of pride has literally nothing to do with the fact it is possible to buy health care or education privately.

>It also means you are not familiar with Argentina's culture or politics.

I'm familiar with the fact Argentina taxes profit at 106% [0]. That is it is illegal to make a profit in Argentina. Perhaps the failures of your government officials is part of the problem in your nation. Perhaps it is possible the individual citizens of your own country know better how to manage their own money than your politicians, and what you see as prideful 'public services' have become ways to rob you and fill the pockets of those connected to your politicians. I hope you are able to find a way forward without getting robbed blind in taxes by politicians who pretend to be acting on your behalf. I certainly don't begrudge your countrymen who have taken matters in their own hands.

>Also, most people here would be screwed under a privatized system.

Your people seem to be screwed under the current system and things aren't exactly looking up. By some accounts I've heard from your countrymen, only 'most' instead of 'practically everyone' being screwed would actually be a step up.

------------------

>Living in Argentina is not hell, or anywhere close to hell. It's quite a nice country

But I never said it was hell and this is a vapid attempt to make me look like someone who hates Argentina and painting it as hell. Surely I would probably even enjoy living there, but I'm sorry to say there are ways in which your people are 'screwed' and the currency issue is one of them. I don't appreciate your attempt to try and make this _Me the man of culture of Argentina who KNOWS the culture vs the outsider who thinks Argentina is hell_, which of course is utter bullshit designed as a back door ad hominem attack.

>and whoever told you so is lying to you.

You are literally the first Argentinian I've spoken to who claimed they weren't screwed by the political/currency situation, and I've spoken to a lot of them. I'd suggest you stop interpreting my comments as some attack on Argentina, rather interpret them as thought on how to deal with a system where your politicians fuck you with policies like making it illegal to make a profit, which is something that 'screws' everyone.

The sooner you realize your precious public institutions of 'pride' are really the way in which your politicians bluff you into lining their own pockets and getting robbed blind by their policies, the better.

"But the care of thine honour and reputation will perchance distract thee? How can that be, if thou dost look back, and consider both how quickly all things that are, are forgotten, and what an immense chaos of eternity was before, and will follow after all things: and the vanity of praise, and the inconstancy and variableness of human judgments and opinions, and the narrowness of the place, wherein it is limited and circumscribed? For the whole earth is but as one point; and of it, this inhabited part of it, is but a very little part; and of this part, how many in number, and what manner of men are they, that will commend thee?" -- Marcus Aurelius: Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, 4.iii (AD 161 to 180), transl.

Back in the day I worked quite a bit with Knuth's early SAIL (an extended Algol on the PDP-10) implementation of Metafont. They could have used some of the documentation the later WEB versions had as he tended to get tricky with squeezing everything out of the 36-bit words (which I was porting to a 32-bit word machine). But the code was an education and a joy to read well before he polished it for publication.
Yeah! The low line count for the code makes it all that more comprehendible compared to Compvis/stable-diffusion or huggingfaces/diffuser's code.

This situation happens because the USD price is artificially low. Use the market price and you no longer have this issue.
Did you read what the actual ruling held? This wasn't a 1st Amendment case.

---

In American constitutional law, this case established two important rules:

* under the California Constitution, individuals may peacefully exercise their right to free speech in parts of private shopping centers regularly held open to the public, subject to reasonable regulations adopted by the shopping centers

* under the U.S. Constitution, states can provide their citizens with broader rights in their constitutions than under the federal Constitution, so long as those rights do not infringe on any federal constitutional rights

This holding was possible because California's constitution contains an affirmative right of free speech which has been liberally construed by the Supreme Court of California, while the federal constitution's First Amendment contains only a negative command to Congress to not abridge the freedom of speech. This distinction was significant because the U.S. Supreme Court had already held that under the federal First Amendment, there was no implied right of free speech within a private shopping center.

I think it's that the requirements not being as strict as cars, hence motorcycles not having the same emissions control systems. A lot of bikes on the road today still use carburettors, which we replaced in cars because fuel injection is more efficient and burns cleaner.
Plot twist: What we know as oil was buried by a former civilisation that fought climate change then went extinct. The trees we bury will be used as fossil fuels by the next civilisation.
0. Hah, yeah. Pretty sure you’re the first person to accuse me of being anti-intellectual...I can’t say for certain, but I think this interpretation here might be on you.

1. Indeed I think you missed my point: the causality implied in your earlier post reads as “well, if you know math, PageRank pops right out!” — my point is, you don’t need to know anything about eigenvalues for PageRank to be an intuitive solution; the insight isn’t eigenvalues or even probability distributions of pages, it’s ranking by relative rank of inbound links. There are many ways to operationalize that insight, and your post made gatekeeping allusions about what math it takes to do that. That’s what I’m responding to.

2. Sure, but you were originally responding to a post about when graph algorithms might ever be useful in industry. Obviously all things being equal, knowing about graph algorithms > not knowing about them. But again, you don’t need to know about them in advance.

3. No doubt Google’s early success is due to PageRank. But PageRank’s success is due to the insight behind it — following web links backward (in fact the precursor to PageRank was called “backrub”) — and not due to eigenvalues.

To be clear, I’m not at all anti-intellectual, and I love a good math puzzle or algorithm as much as the next guy — and I said as much in my other post.

But I’m also not in love with the fetishization of formalisms that is common in technical and academic circles, and the attendant value system that is so eager to prove itself that it tries to fit any and all adjacent insights into its own paradigm — just as you’ve done here.
…and anybody who dislikes that speech can order a botnet to make your connection unusable, and it is very unlikely that the perpetrators will ever be caught.

Going back to the Cloudflare example, the organizers of that campaign did not want Cloudflare to withdraw service because they thought that this would take the site down, they wanted them to withdraw service because this would make them vulnerable to criminal activity (DDOS). And, sure enough, that is exactly what has happened.

Well, getting rid of fossil fuels is extremely difficult. The main issue is batteries and we need another revolution in technology.
I like to joke that oil is a renewable energy source, it's just that people tend to be too impatient.
It’s denser but that’s a good thing. I think that the need for a lot of empty lines is something people tend to grow out of over time. Usually they’re used to make it easier to skip over lines that are less important, but you can learn to do that sort of thing using the subtler cues available in the structure of the lisp code.

I have seen very new programmers put three or four blank lines in a row over and over again, just so that they have the visual space to let them think about a small fraction of their code at a time without getting distracted by the code before and after. Lisp programmers tend to make their functions smaller, simpler, and purer instead, and end up with blank lines only between top–level forms such as functions.
The original tweet seems to have been deleted:

Ok just to come at this from another angle: my own (embedded C) code, after it had been gone over by a much more experienced and skilled maintenance programmer to bring it up to company standards. It wasn’t beautiful, even then, but it was crisp, super readable, and ironically closer to how I remembered it than the original. He hesitated to show it to me! Programmer ego and tact are funny things. Humbling, sure, but on the whole I was delighted.

The best - it compiled to the sane hex file.

The extension of 'the map is not the terrain' is 'the simulation is not the universe'.

I'm not sure if that's an exact example of what you're saying, but, for me, if any conclusion is that we're living in a simulation, then it's simulations all the way down.

Or, we're living in a simulation because we understand and process the universe and our experiences through the filter of our brains, and our brains are, to some degree, an abstraction engine. Our physical bodies exist in the terrain, but the entirety of our conscious lives is lived through the map.
Can you just plot the histogram and guesstimate based on the distribution?

While there's minimal risk if you're either using a full-fledged modern JS engine or a limited-subset interpreter like the OP, an older or non-optimized spec-compliant JS engine might hit pathological performance cases and result in you DOSing yourself.

You are not alone.

In my experience, there’s a language of mathematics that makes an almost comically strong attempt to make itself inaccessible through jargon, single-letter variable names, and an over reliance on symbolic manipulation.

If you talk to most mathematicians or algorithm researchers, you’ll find that they are some of the most intuitive people you’ll ever meet, and they use visualization and other intuitive techniques all the time.

And then the classes are all about symbol manipulation.

I swear there are millions of people out there who could be mathematicians but just couldn’t get excited by all the symbol manipulation.
Well I don't know for sure. It's not like private interests have disappeared, and I'm not privy to how they manifest.

But if nothing else, we can assume that there's less money in politics because campaigns are less expensive.

Macron's last campaign cost 16 millions euros. Biden's last campaign cost 1.06 billion dollars. That money has to come from somewhere.

In theory, Macron's campaign could have hidden costs not reported in accounting (which is what Sarkozy did) but in practice it's hard to hide that (hence Sarkozy getting caught). Big campaign meetings in expensive stadiums are, by design, hard to hide.

Also, since you can't spend money getting your candidate on TV ads, there's not a huge incentive to blow up your campaign budget. Regulators also ensure that TV outlets spend an equal amount of time on each candidate. (Though there are also ways to game that, eg CNews got fined for putting Zemmour on prime time and every other candidate in night slots).

So while power games still exist (the key to becoming French president is basically being friends with Xavier Niel), we can assume there's less money overall because parties have fewer things to spend money on.
You mean also taking away all restrictions? I'm no expert but I imagine this would simply leave the middle class out of the loop and simply move all of the dollar buying/hiding in offshore accounts to the big players. I'm not sure Argentina as a country would benefit.
You seem to be talking about something completely unrelated. A design personality does not get in your way.
I think it depends on the person and there's no good answer. For some folks it will be sticking with what they know and trying to "exploit" it as deep as possible, while for others it will be "exploring" as wide as possible trying everything out, and for everyone else it'll be some mix of both.

To counter the anti-caricature penalty, there's also the stereotype of the older person that never found something to anchor them in life. This stereotype of an older person never found a hobby, friends, community, or partners and travels from place to place constantly searching and consuming. Most people are probably in the middle and most people relative to themselves probably become more focused with age.
