It depends a lot more on how calculus is taught than it depends on calculus itself.

If your calculus education is: learn these formulas by rote memory and apply them to this set of problems. Yes, calculus, and in fact any and all the mathematics, will be mostly useless for you. You don't need the formulas.

But, if your calculus education is: OK, there is this limit. No, I will not tell you the proof. You will find a proof of it by yourself, and you will show it to the class.

Or: this is the volume. Imagine a way to calculate the volume! How would you do it?

Or thousands more ways to stress your creativity to the max. Writing proofs is the most intense workout of creativity I have experienced. And it feels like writing code, in a way. The difference is in a mathematical proof you are also the compiler, the syntax checker, the interpreter, and the person who writes the program.

If that's the way you learn calculus, not as a formula applier, but as a solution finder, then yes, calculus will make you a much better software developer. I say this based on personal experience, I consider my proper mathematical education, having to think about proofs in linear algebra, to have a very positive impact in my capacity to write software later.

And I had been a software developer for ten years before the linear algebra and calculus courses. So it's not related to acquiring experience as developer later.

> lawyers can pretend that information is property, but some things obey physical laws and other things don't

Free information is difficult to control. We have to add things to it, like DRM, to make it compatible with the legal concepts of possession and ownership.

Crypto, however, is different. One can control it. Had the FBI been able to move the coins to their own wallet, they would have controlled them. Crypto is information re-structured in the image of our legal senses around property. It's the antithesis of free information. (That’s why two people can look at it and simultaneously see profoundly-pure meaning and infinitely-valid meaninglessness. Legal versus tangible. Possession without substance. Money.)

All that aside, ownership and control have a long history of separating. The traditional method of reconciliation was violence. The FBI "owned" those coins on "seizing" them and thus legally "possessed" them [1], even if they didn't "control" them.

Zero inflation is fine, but a small hiccup would cause it to spiral into deflation. Deflation sounds good in a micro-scale because money gets more valuable. However, this is actually a terrible thing because the only way this can happen is when money gets destroyed through defaults, which is why you only see deflation during a financial crisis.

When technology increases increases productivity and society has a fixed supply of paper money, you'd think you'd see deflation because there are more goods and the same amount of money. However, actually during those periods of times, banks lend out money, which increases the money supply. This is a good thing because they're enabling economic activity that otherwise wouldn't have happened like a loan to start a new business. However, this system is fragile because if depositors lose faith in the bank, everyone will try to withdrawal their money, which is called a bank run. The bank doesn't have enough money because they leant some of it out, so they default and depositors that aren't quick money lose their money. One of the purposes of central banks is to ensure that this doesn't happen.
I know people won't like this solution but my solution is to use as few dependencies as possible. When I look for a new library, I check its dependencies, the fewer the better, 0 is best. I look through the dependencies as well, even looking into the source of the library and the source of the dependencies. What are they doing, do they have a reason to exist, was the dev being prudent or lazy. Were they coupling things that shouldn't have been coupled.

I'll also evaluate if I really need a library. Maybe the thing I need I can do myself in 3-30 lines of code and believe I'm unlikely to run into edge cases for my use case. If so I'll write the code rather than deal with another dependency.

It played Stockfish 8, which was already a year old when they played, and the match was under arguably unbalanced circumstances.

The current version of Stockfish is Stockfish 15, and although it hasn't played AlphaZero (because AlphaZero doesn't compete), it has played clones of AlphaZero such as Leela Chess Zero in TCEC which it won against consistently for the past 5 seasons.

AlphaZero beating Stockfish was more a propaganda attempt from Google to appear as a world leader in AI then an actually attempt to find the superior engine.

I hope you do realize "discrete simulations" is an application of calculus (analysis really). The "continuous" version of calculus is a special case. Sure though, this is a problem with the way calculus is taught (too much focus on symbolic differentiation and integration, although that becomes valuable somewhat if you become a physicist or engineer, primarily).

I get you. I think it encourages a certain application structure that is at least recognizable across projects. There's a pretty big benefit to that, even if at the detail level it's just a way to avoid new.
I’m self-taught, with bachelors and grad degrees in non-STEM. Broke into the industry a little over two years ago. I currently have interviews with FAANG and FAANG-tier for SDE roles. In fact, I have a final round this week.

You can teach yourself pretty much all of a CS curriculum by buying a stack of textbooks listed on CS syllabi, and then going to town. Naturally, you’ll build projects while doing this.

Do some LC and prep for interviews.

You don’t need to get a CS degree to get SDE interviews. It helps, but isn’t necessary. And to pass technical rounds, you don’t even need to have read most of that stack of CS textbooks. You need some bits and pieces from that stack of books, and be quick on your feet with LC medium.

If your friend is good at standardized tests, then LC is right up their alley.

The really interesting question this brings up is, is there some causal relationship between students that study music and their likelihood of taking calculus? (e.g. Assuming we call all kids that take calculus "smart kids", are smart kids more likely to also study music, or does studying music make kids into smart kids) Or, is there just some selection bias where kids from a certain background are more likely to do both?
Very cool!

I don't understand the motivation about lifetimes in sync rust not being able to be arbitrary. I'm also confused because most of the time went you want to send data around in a async context you wrap it in `arc`, which has the pretty much analogous `rc` in a sync context which would also solve the lifetimes issue. Is there something I am missing?

Not braking per se, but on all cars I've driven recently (ie some Seat Alteca, our BMW F10 5-series and maybe 2 more a bit longer ago) there is sometimes collision warning in situation where no collision is about to happen.

Seat was pretty bad in this, had it rented for 2 weeks in Sicily few weeks ago and first few times all screens start flashing like crazy in normal situations is very distracting (since I wasn't sure what the heck is happening, but it looked sinister). BMW is pretty subtle with this, and only happened few times in past year.

I imagine if this warning system would be also connected to breaks, bad things would be happening.

So much of our antropic world is built on top of calculus, that without it it's like being a 17th century man in 21st century. Sure, you don't need to understand the world you live in, that's why we have these nice user interfaces for everything, but when cracks appear in these ui's or if you want to come up with something new, you're stuck making wrong assumptions and are doomed to fail. Even worse, you're vulnerable to all sorts of snake oil peddlers. This is the reason to learn calculus not some sort of fancy crossword puzzle.
This looks really exciting but I want to warn that this fulfills the following criteria:

- feels to good to be free

- it targets a problem that we all sense and fear when we interact with other people

- the privacy and security policy is legally invalid in California and the EU (missing both is quite weird as they’re very well known privacy standards)

- the email address listed inside the privacy and security policy is invalid

Before trying their service I attempted to request a proper privacy policy via their listed email address which returns me an error saying that this address doesn’t exist.

As Slack is listed as a company that backs this service, I just reached out to their support team to cross-check the authenticity of this new service. This is getting exciting..

>But can you share more on what you need Tokio for?

Because everything. uses. Tokio. It's become the defacto standard of async Rust, whether people like it or not.

This issue has been notable enough to cause some projects to outright consider dropping async-std support - and I think they only relented because there's apparently enough (private, not-open-source) users who apparently still use it.

All of life is ever changing, there is no stable ecosystem except in a moment, and only if you ignore the parts that are undergoing massive death after massive growth. Calling bacteria in a Petri dish "pathological" doesn't even make sense, it is the way of life, how life grows all over.

Disease and escape from disease are omni-present in biology, not mere pathology. Ever present extinction of species, ever present evolution of species, ever present birth and death of individuals, all make real life an ever-changing unbalanced dynamic. Life is ever changing, ever "growing" yet somehow always dying.

Follow the simple population models in biology, and you get chaotic boom and bust, feast and famine.

"Capitalism" is the same as biology here. Claims of requirements of ever-present growth are a factual. Capitalism survives recessions, depressions, just fine. There is no requirement of global growth for capitalism to survive, and the supposed "logic" that leads to that conclusion is ridiculous, full of holes. For the past decades, even the supposed "capitalism needs ever expanding amounts of energy" has been proven to be false. GDP is not tied to energy, GDP is tied to whatever humans value. Which is ever changing, ever evolving.

I think that the critique of capitalism embodied in this essay is a century too old. It misses the basic understanding of the past 100 years of biological discovery and better understanding of complex systems that happened not only in biology, but in many other academic fields.

Life persists even with individual species continually expanding exponentially until they hit population collapse. Capitalism is the same. And even relegating capitalism to only the "completely unregulated" system, whatever that means (all property rights exist within a legal system with regulation), capitalism does not tends towards ever-present monopolies. That at best leads to feudalism, to autocracy like in Russia, but feudalism/autocracy is itself unstable.
>"ip addr show" lists interfaces and their stats. It's harder to read than ifconfig -a but gives you the same information in a similar format.

It's worth noting that `-br` gives you a brief version of the output, and `-c` colors it, so that it's possible to do something like this:

ip -br -c addr

to get a very readable and colorful table-like output.

There's also `-j` for JSON, and `-j -p` for pretty JSON.
I don't disagree, but what do you expect to be shared with the public? They've acquired battery IP, they show the power charts, they talk about the difficulties of discharge at low states of charge. Their whole design is focused on short distances with very short time spent in hover.

They may not be correct (and they seem to have assumed at least 5 more years of basic improvements) but the suggestion that they haven't addressed the problem at all is just wrong.

Horses are expensive.
In 2008/2009 when Bitcoin became a thing, we (IRC dorks) were mining it because of the recession. When 1 Bitcoin = $1 USD, that was a big deal - and when it broke past $5 USD that was an even bigger deal.

Bitcoin was made because of the recession and how poorly interconnected global economies were performing. It was supposed to be currency separated from politics/regional crisis.
> You can't create energy by printing money.

Yes but the energy crisis isn't evenly distributed across the world. NA, for example, is still doing relatively well. While Europe is being hit relatively hard by the shortage and will likely have to import from more expensive sources than previous years to make it through the winter.

>> Jeff Bezos loves this show and this whole endeavor as much as anybody possibly could. I’ve talked to him a lot about it. He loves the show, and I can tell he’s proud of it.

Doubt.

Even to those of us who are not hardcore cinemaphiles the horrible writing is obvious very, very much.

This article seems to be a damage control article for this Jen Salke so that she doesn't get sacked for this horror of a show, I mean how is it possible to have such terrible screenwriting?

450M$ and they couldn't hire another more experienced screenwriter to atleast go through the script to point out the stupidities?

There have to be some serious egos/SJWs involved in this.

Here is a potential explanation for why this shitshow of a tv series happened:

TLDR:

>> Then #MeToo swept through Hollywood like a typhoon. The head of Prime Video got caught up in it and had to be fired. Jennifer Salke was brought in to start making Woke content and one of her first decisions was to shitcan Conan on grounds of toxic masculinity. Put a gigantic pin in that one, we are circling back to it. She replaced it with Wheel of Time which is almost but not quite as big a disaster as The Rings of Power.

So basicaly Jen Stalke screwed up already once badly with the Wheel of Time, I think Bezos is just using this is a SJW excuse get-out-of-jail free card since if he gets on the SJWs bad side he can always point to Jen Stalke and her SJW shows and say "see, I'm on your side, look at how much money I gave to your woke productions, stop attacking me! I'm a friend of wokeness!"

For the sake of render performance, bundle size, removing a need for transpilation, compatibility across frameworks. There are a million reasons this should be happening in the browser at this point.

> You also don’t do that for a company you don’t truly intend to purchase

You can defend Musk all you want, but you simply cannot make the argument that he is a traditional, by-the-books, conservative business man. He's an impulsive, irrational, self-obsessed, risk-taking billionaire who flouts convention, tradition and consensus. His reckless instincts and his willingness to bend or break 'the rules' have worked incredibly well for him in the past. This time he fucked up big-time.

> ...especially when being guided by lawyers that only you and perhaps a dozen other people in the world can afford to engage for representation.

You think Musk is the kind of person who lets lawyers lead him around by the nose, that he is someone with a well-known and well-established reverence for the legal profession and the rule of law? This is absolutely not the case.

> Whatever all this drama was…it’s way too early to make any informed judgement about motivations of the parties involved.

This is hilarious because the first part of your comment is literally you presenting sharing your view Musk's motivation (eg. "He has every intention of buying Twitter because he signed a purchase agreement! People who sign purchase agreements don't not buy the companies they committed to purchasing!").

Anyway, it's definitely not too early to make an informed judgement about the Twitter conflagration. Musk did everything he could to drag this debacle into the spotlight rather than handling it more discretely. He tried to weaponize public opinion for his own aims, and he also (very publicly) made a series of misleading or patently false allegations about Twitter in order to get his way. It's too late to argue that we should approach this with a neutral perspective.
