No higher order functions means that you cannot make a function that takes another function as input or returns a function as output. I would prefer a programming language to be simple, only allowing functions which transform finite input to finite output.

No modules / namespaced includes means that to include other code, you would write something like `include as Foo './other-source-code.file'` or `include as Bar 'github.com/foo/bar/some/source.file@commit`. All the names in the included file (functions, names of data, etc.) would be referenced by prefixing the namespace, like `Foo.baz` or `Bar.baz`. Combine that with the ability to include code via URL, and there would be need for a package manager or separate package manifest. Wherever you want to use the new version/code you simply update the include statement at the top of the file.

My sons school (in the UK) intentionally mixed up classes every year through primary school, and I was sceptical at first but it seemed to work quite well, in that they were able to get people away from kids they didn't do well alongside.

Obviously mixing like that does not work if you want to keep the kids with the same teacher.

I'm wondering, in a world where we use LiPo batteries to store seasonal grid level power from renewables (i.e. overproduce from solar in summer and store til winter), how big will the battery facilities be? And how bad would the fire be as a result?

It's not immediately obvious to me that these will be hugely safer than nuclear plants. Especially since LiPo battery fires seem to be much more frequent than nuclear plant incidents.
Pretty easy choice if you ask me... Id rather do the cinnamon challenge with a spoon of cement mix than breathe in the acid...
That's a functional but not architectural claim.

In case it was a poper storage facility, and the fire wasn't caused intentionally or by gross negligence, insurance covers it (speaking about Europe, no idea those kind of insurance works in the US). One of the reasosn why hazardous goods storage, especially for Li-batteries, is so hard to come by and expensive.
I think you miss the point of the article a bit. I believe what he's getting at is this: there tends to arise bottlenecks in any growing organizations which prohibit them from moving as fast as every individual operating at full capacity, whatever that individual's capacity may be.

Intuitively, in smaller organizations these bottlenecks are fewer, and in an organization of 1, your individual capacity is only limited by your physical and mental constraints.

So yes, it's important to keep in mind that everyone's different but there is definitely excellent insight into how people work together effectively in large groups.
Using basic statistics in order to determine behavior from people based on race is called racial profiling. It is why the police assume, all else being equal, that a black man is more likely to be involved in crime than a white man.

Alone, "It's just statistics." should never be the justification if the outcome has a strong negative for an individual.

Carl Sagan describe such profiling in his book The Demon-Haunted World. He calls it lazy thinking. People take in a complex person and reduces them down to single bits of information, man or woman, black or white.
There are also the sorts of teachers I hated having as a teenager, but am deeply grateful in terms of what they taught us, after all.

Many of those were pretty much universally disliked often mainly due to the amount of work we'd have to do compared to others.

But when our class would get merged and we'd get one of the more 'popular' teachers, we were often kinda surprised how little the other half knew/had learned.

There's also a cool story about somebody fixing some bugs on the Six~Trak and related synthesizers by Sequential that were among the first MIDI synthesizers:

Also some teachers are better than others! I think two year in a row can have advantages. But different teachers bring different perspectives and different strengths. Sometimes a teacher will magically click in some way with your child and bring something out of them that other teachers hadn't managed.

I remember having the same English teacher (as in English literature) for five years (slightly accidentally - we got randomly allocated a couple of times and I ended up with her each time) and I think it gave me a rather narrow view of the subject.

Like how all tech blogs nowadays writes "leverage" instead of "use".

"I leveraged a hammer on these nails" sounds hilariously stupid, but it's quite literally using the word leverage for an action that has leverage, unlike tech blogs.
Very nice way to put it. Quite clever.
The other thing is that there is a dependence on physical perception.
Even if one has exceptional raw processing power, if one has no data to apply it to, intelligence can't express itself.
To a degree, we are only intelligent because we exist i.e. we perceive.

Climate change: Six tipping points ‘likely’ to be crossed
> just to make the whole "you don't need to say return in the last statement" look clever.

I sure prefer `let x = if foo { 0 } else { 1 };` over `let x = if foo { return 0; } else { return 1; };`. Which raises another potential dilemma: do you break consistency and allow returning values without `return` in if-blocks, or do you make it impossible to return from a function early within them, instead making the returns exit the if-expression early for ultimate confusion?

No, please don't take away my semicolons unless you provide an actual alternative, even if it's just a Lisp-like flood of parentheses.

Arguably, that's basically directly saying that nobody has a right to life.

I’ve been seeing this convergence-divergence cycle as a founder as well. We are forced to be like an octopus doing full-court press in 8 different disciplines to build a bootstrapped startup. Your inner engineer always cursing at your inner creative, and occasionally getting disillusioned when your customers don’t respond well to some feature or tweak.

How to keep morale and quality and technical debt at bay? If you have the answers please share, here are some of my steps to combat the above:

1. Your brain plays some steps better than others at certain parts of the sleep cycle. Knowing when to do what so you do it well is half the battle. Example: no brainstorming or solving complex problems when sleep deprived, but yes to grinding through mundane easy but boring tasks when sleep deprived (your brain is too tired to care so it doesn’t hinder with distractions / ADHD ).

2. Step back from some tough tasks and go to a different environment then let your brain sleep on it or wander before looking at them fresh. Prioritize as if someone else is doing the work and validate everything with quick prototypes/calls to users instead of putting in large effort on assumptions.

3. Having kids has helped, ironically. If your break involves spending time with them and teaching them, breaking down the problems for them and talking through with them helps see things clearly as well.

>Ebike and drone batteries are large enough to be properly dangerous and fire departments make noises about them but offer no solutions.

A suitable fireproof containment bag + fire-resistant gloves is about $1200 AUD (Brimstone Preventer [1], but I'm sure alternatives are available. This one is small phone/tablet sized and rated for 10k mAh). But most people won't purchase a < $100 fire extinguisher, let alone a battery fire containment device.

>A fire extinguisher large enough for a 500wh battery weighs 12 kilos - most people can barely lift that!

SafeWork Australia (our national OSHA body) recommend loads be kept below about ~16 to 20kg for a single person without mechanical assistance[2] (or up to 55kg with), and most packaging for heavy boxes recommends two person lift starting around 25 to 36kg. 12kg should be trivial for most adults.

The best weather website IMO is windy. I used it a lot when I was sailing/windsurfing, but you can also use it for general forecasts.
The account works and is connected to an email address I own.

I can login, I can reset the password, I can change the email. They never deactivated the account, or contested my ownership of the account or anything.

Only the game was gone - but evidence of that account having actually played the game in the past was still there.

Support refused to help me, unless I first provide that confirmation email, which I no longer had (the email provider went bankrupt, servers disappeared over night).

They never outright stated any reason for what happened, or answered any of my questions - but it would seem that they intentionally disabled all copies of Minecraft they thought might have been pirated, only re-instating them if the account holder could provide proof of purchase.

That seems to be the only plausible explanation for why they would refuse to look into my ticket or try to help me or even just answer my questions.
It's a website with a very marked orange header and some orange styling. Since there's very little else in the way of appearance (coming from me, that's a compliment!), the orange becomes quite prominent. Calling it "the orange site" seems very reasonable.
From the photos, leaves seem normal: fully grown, oriented towards the sun, no more random as regular fig leaves. What's strange is that they are attached to downward-growing structures, and reversed trunks are more strange than leaves growing on roots (or something similar to roots). Related fig species like banyans have downwards-growing wooden prop roots after all.

They were also running regular service with 4 ships in the Netherlands (Amsterdam-IJmuiden) until 2014. It was stopped because of accidents, speed limits and I imagine fuel consumption (they have 1000 kW engines). Few years before the larger and faster High-speed sea service ferry from Rotterdam (-ish) to Harwich was also cancelled due to fuel consumption. I took the one from Amsterdam a few times and agree it was quite a nice experience (and you could take your bike along)

It’s never about the quality of people. Past a certain size, it’s all about politics and appearances, actual performance or quality doesn’t matter.

The recent proroguement of parliament of parliament showed that doing things that are "unconstitutional" in the UK can be done with impunity as long as the tutting is ignored.

A constitution only matters if there are measures that punish violators. In the UK the monarch doesn't want to speak up if the government violates what is commonly seen as constitutional, and parliament is partisan so the government can do what it wants.

NTechLab scraped vk.com (Facebook-like Russian social network) profile photos and were running a public website "FindFace" that allowed to find profiles by photo of a face.
