I'm imagining it would look more or less like a struct definition, but with methods instead of fields. Something like

interface{S,T} Iterable{T}
Next = Tuple{Union{T,Nothing},S}
iterate(self::Self)::Next
iterate(self::Self, state::S)::Next
end

This means "Iterable has two type parameters, one of which (T) is named explicitly in the type and the other of which (S) is implicitly used in the definition of the interface but is otherwise not nameable.".

I think the real question is how to implement structural sub typing of interfaces -- you wouldn't want to have to list the interfaces a struct implements when defining it because then you're limited to only those traits you (the struct's author) know about. Better (and more Julian) to automatically implement Iterable for any struct with those two iterate methods defined on it, but it seems like a pretty big task to keep track of that at runtime. Especially if you care about matching the return types of the interface's functions since in general those can't be type checked until they're actually called (or at the least compiled, but the whole point of Julia is to not compile the world ahead of time).
I also grew up in areas like that in Finland. They still worked as intended when I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s. Then most services went away. As living standards increased, population density decreased, as people could afford more space. And as real wages increased, businesses needed more sales per employee to be profitable. Medium-density areas no longer had enough people to support local services.
> We have seen world wide that schools are THE most effective tool for lifting people out of poverty.

This is false. Schooling has had nothing to do with it, capitalism is what has lifted the most people out of poverty, not schooling.
These are relatively minor things, and most of them can be cleaned up with `cargo fix` and `cargo clippy --fix`.
Is a good question how much AI will take the jobs of artists.

To do a practical exercise, I just enter to The Atlantic website, which in my memory has some level of quality on custom illustrations and photos/collages to represent a concept of the stories. The Atlantic now is paying designers/illustrators and stock image websites to create this images. After the research, I believe that using AI will be useful in many cases and will reduce costs for sure. What do you think?

I'm not sure what it's like these days, but when I was in my early teens, before I could drive, my mother would drive me and maybe a friend to the mall, and we could walk around and hang out without our parents. They'd go get something they needed, and we'd go to the record store, or the food court, and just talk and stuff. It was a place where you could meet kids who went to other schools than you. It was basically our first taste of freedom from parents and freedom of choice. If we had some pocket money we could pick up an album we liked, or buy a shirt or poster we thought was cool, or whatever. As mentioned in the article, as we got older, it became a place of conformity, but from about age 10-15, it was a really nice reprieve from family life, and was a relatively safe place to have that reprieve.
They also described that crowd as "diverse", when it's the exact opposite of that.

Depends. Difficult is a binary relation in my experience: _something_ is difficult to _somebody_.

Is Mandarin Chinese difficult for a smart 10-year old, whose parents are Chinese (the mother a lawyer and the father a university professor, saY)? No.

Is English difficult for a dyslectic homeless U.S.-American citizen who got only minimal school education? Probably so.

I know a lot of people who admire Latin for its "logical" structure; I can only say that they probably haven't studied Spanish, where -um doesn't mean one of gazillion different things. I have three linguistics-related degrees, and I have yet to see a study that defines an objective "language difficulty" metric.

Why do you invocate a categoric theorem when the theory that is discussed on Quanta has a manifestly non-category-theoretic flavor?...
These designs pretty much demand a setup with a water cooling loop implemented via radiator sized for two 140mm fans (280 mm length).

Thankfully all-in-one kits for that which are pre filled and sealed are much more commonplace than they used to be, and even fairly cheap midtower ATX cases I see on newegg in the $60-70 range will have a top panel mounting place for a 280mm radiator.

And definitely any "gaming" marketed ATX case above that price range will have the capability for it.

You possibly could get away with a 240mm length radiator (dual 120mm fans) on something like this but I really wouldn't recommend it, and the savings for an AIO kit would be only $50-60.

From the perspective of noise annoyance, fan pitch and sound is somewhat proportional to size. 140mm fans can be a lot quieter and move more air than 120mm with less perceptible noise to the human sitting next to it.

Higher end stuff will be implemented by 360mm length radiator (3 x 140mm) which I am pleasantly surprised to see not ridiculously priced ATX cases having options mounting now.

I would figure you have to budget an additional $150-200 on top of the CPU cost for a capable water cooling loop setup. Which is not absolutely ridiculous considering that a really good skived copper heatsink/heatpipe/fan setup for pure air cooling on a 130W TDP CPU could easily be $65.

It's just a long-standing quirk in the parser. It parses the numeric part as an unsigned 64-bit number, then applies the sign afterwards. And the result can be approximately stuffed into a floating point value.

The behavior for integer fields is different; compilation will fail with an out of range error.

Some memories of the old RISC OS (Acorn): There was an implementation of OLE (similar to Windows, I think) where a desktop publishing tool would display a frame containing data from another application. Double-clicking would open the other application to edit it. In later year I remember this extended to a demos of a concept called PCA where the application and its toolbars existing in-place.

I feel these concepts were along the right lines (and probably they go all the way back to Xerox PARC) but it would be interesting to come up with equivalents for a non document-oriented world -- embed an image in a calendar entry, edit it, send an email containing the calendar entries etc.

Restoration Agriculture requires animals, and those animals need to be culled or aged out of the farm. A holistic approach to land management could easily in the neighborhood of about 10% as much meat, and some larger proportion of eggs, to what we currently produce.

If you specifically had some agenda for not feeding any of this meat to humans, I could offer a few suggestions, but those would still net you a surplus of chicken and/or pork, because closed cycles have substantial pathogen problems.

> Here we are 25 years after Gatto gave this speech, our society has not "disintegrated" yet

It really depends on how you define disintegrated. What he mentioned has manifested over the last 30 years. Slowly, and quietly. Now, it has come to a head. The lunatics actively arguing parents should have no place in schooling, the obsession of children with transient media figures, the state of school bells determining the bounds of one's life, and the general lack of society to embrace the creativity and novelty of a kid's wild imagination. It was present when I was a kid but much more muted. These days, watching the children in my family grow up, they are far more interested in becoming someone they aren't, rather than the something they want to be.

I would consider this disintegration.
Composting oxidizes a lot of the carbon. And since you have to replant, harvest and fertilise everyyear it is a lot more intensive than forestry where you do that ever 30 (15-100) years
That probably depends on your lawyer. If he's bad enough I'd guess you can get a penalty even if you didn't see any financial gain from the scheme.
I think the post boils down to him not wanting to spend any effort accommodating diversity. It's a valid opinion but I don't see how anything he wrote would sway anyone one way or the other.

I think he's also wrong in the factual sense about what diversity initiatives are for. It's not actually that diversity is an automatic net win for companies because diverse workers are better. It exists specifically to combat bias and discrimination. Both conscious and unconscious. It's literally anti racism (or anti misogyny or anti homophobia etc). I support DEI programs because that's a laudable goal unto itself. Even if it makes a company less profitable. I think the goal of any human endeavor should be to make the world a marginally better place. Not just to maximize profit.
Thanks! Yeah, good point

I sold my motorcycle a couple of years ago because it was pretty impractical for much of the year. Riding around with a good jacket, pants, gloves, boots, and helmet isn't much fun in the summer, especially commuting traffic (I couldn't afford riding gear with built-in cooling).

I'm not sure what you are asking about people in Vietnam or India. I've never been to either place however there are a lot of Vietnamese and Indian people who work in the same office park I work in and going by the people I meet around the bicycle rack, I don't think they are any more or less likely to commute via bicycle than any other group.

What do you think the universe would look like if things didn't fit together? Sit with that thought for a little while, really let it sink in. Oh, hey, it wouldn't be a universe.

“This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”

-Douglas Adams

I've found that the only controllable practices are to force our hr to send anonimized resumes to my interview team and to zealously challenge bias through panel review questions to interviewers. Our reviews can't detail things like "not a culture fit" or "is unqualified." there has to be a specific quantifiable reason for decline or hire. We've never had anyone openly discriminate because I don't sincerely believe people do (intentionally) , but I'm willing to put faith into the concept of unconscious bias and take action to challenge it with methods that do not hypocritcally embrace discrimation of protected class/features/etc. However, I strongly believe dei equity creates more racism rather than remove it.

Hmm. I am torn. It has some really amazing potential benefits in theory, but I can absolutely see how it could be an issue if the kid somehow does not 'gel' with the teacher or vice versa. And, naturally, there is a question of pygmalion effect, whether the teacher is.. well.. good enough to maintain that kind of long term relationship.

If I recall my early years correctly, we had one 'main' teacher, but the rest of the subjects were done by other teachers. It maintained some of the benefits, while still exposing the kids to the world outside their class. Come to think of it, one my 'main' teachers really did not like me ( and advised my parents to move me somewhere else ).
I would posit that the advocates of "big-D Diversity" are the ones intentionally setting up a provocative and tendentious definition of "diversity".

Thankfully, while your first assertion is (sadly) accurate, your 2nd is not. From the wikipedia article you cited:

> "Literacy in the United States was determined by the National Center for Education Statistics to be at a mid to high level in 2019, at 79%, with 21% of American adults categorized as having "low level English literacy," including 4.1% classified as "functionally illiterate" and an additional 4% that could not participate.[1] According to the U.S. Department of Education, 54% of adults in the United States have prose literacy below the 6th-grade level."

Functional illiteracy is more like 4-8%.
If they censor everyone is angry, if they don't censor everyone is angry they didn't.

This is one of the core reasons censorship is a failed idea btw, no two people agree what should be censored or allowed. So no one actually wants censorship, or rather they all want different mutually exclusive forms of censorship.

But people, short-sightedly believe they will get their version...
>Is fixing the stifling bureaucracy is out of the question?

I mean no but the issue is the system has to be changed as to not encourage stifling bureaucracy. Unfortunately a monopolized school system with a captive customer ('pay up to this exact single school district or you know just sell your house and uproot yourself and move') is anti-thetical to the kind of free-market competition that aids in rooting out inefficient bureaucracy.

I love the responses I often get when suggesting to let the parents use their own discretion to pay directly for their children's education using the per-child tax allocation. Somehow striking teachers are simultaneously people we're supposed to listen to as people who know how to fix the system when things go wrong, but god forbid we allow a system that allows the parent to pay the teachers directly and privately to bypass the broken public school administrators.

Somehow teachers are simultaneously the source we can listen to about how to fix things when they strike, but suddenly become distrustful evil capitalists if we're allowed to let them privately educate on the free market in lieu of public school system. I wish the public would make up their mind.

In "on" mode, FETs appear as a small resistance R_ds_on, but BJTs act like a mostly-constant voltage drop V_ce_sat.

So for any BJT and FET we compare, passing a current less than V_ce_sat/R_ds_on is more efficient on the FET, and for greater currents the BJT is more efficient.

They started a months-long letter writing and protesting campaign, according to your own NYT link. And the person who started the campaign was African American, not Gypsy. And while most of the Gypsies I met while living in Eastern Europe looked vaguely Middle Eastern or Indian (I realize their actual ancestry is more complicated), there are white Gypsies as well. I have never, however, heard of black Gypsies. I'm sure with immigration to Europe combined with intermarriage there are some now, but the typical Gypsy in France a few centuries ago is not going to be black. So I have no idea what your "someone who looked like them" comment is supposed to mean.

>Looks like the students were targeted by alt-right publications for that, too

The Bifocal Display (1982)
You nailed it. Whenever I do visit a Mall especially with my younger kids, the attraction is more about the Fun and Social stuff than those boring stores. Yes, unless you are big into buying things in person or luxury stuff, Amazon has pretty much replaced most mundane stuff. Food, there are restaurants and Mall is not the right attraction for food.

Mall is more of a social place where we need to bring back the "it's cool and fun to hang at the mall" vibe. Whichever mall can do that successfully, it is a win.
