> Even if the herder wanted to behave as Hardin described, they couldn’t do so unless certain conditions existed. There would have to be a market for the cattle, and herders would have to be focused on producing for that market, not for local consumption. The herder would have to have enough capital to buy the additional cattle and the fodder they would need in winter. The herder would have to be able to hire workers to care for the larger herd, build bigger barns, etc.

Ah yes, the Tragedy of the Commons couldn't have existed because people were too materially poor to damage anything.

Regardless of whether it applies to any specific situation or not, the commons themselves included, the term itself is still a useful philosophical concept. I mean, the irony is not lost on me that you have to be logged in to see or post comments.

But I'm going to go ahead and assume that the fact that farmers commonly established their own informal governance rules over common areas does kind of imply that there were overgrazing problems. This is more Coase than Marx.

As a sidenote to your sidenote: I've noticed that the term "syntax" seems to have two different meanings nowadays. There's the technical meaning, namely "the rules that govern how characters are parsed into abstract syntax tree nodes", which in your example, would cover whether Rust shoud use `.` or `::` as a namespace separator, whether to use `[]` or `<>` for generics, that sort of thing. (Both of which have trade-offs in constraining how other parts of the language can be designed.)

But I think sometimes, people use "syntax" in a blanket "how the language looks" way — that is, whether it's symbol-heavy, whether it's word-based, whether it's information-light or information-dense, and so on. This makes it more a function of which features of expressivity the language chooses to expose, than the individual syntactic choices that determine which characters we use and for what. Again in Rust's case, it has attributes, it has namespace separators, it has the zero-tuple, it has generics, and it has lifetimes, all of which need some way to be expressed.

Don't get me wrong, you're allowed to not use a language if you don't like the way it looks visually. Or maybe it makes good use of a certain character that's hard to type on your particular keyboard layout. That's fine. I also can't decree that either of these uses of the term "syntax" are wrong. But when we're talking about language syntax, it's important to remember when you're talking about syntax, and when you're instead talking about language features. If you don't like the way lifetimes look, that's one thing; if you don't like the way lifetimes make you change the way you write code, that's another.

So I have to ask: of those four code snippets, how would you prefer to write them? What would you change? And can you get away with making those changes without breaking anything else?
"Wow, that sucks. How are you holding up? Let me know if I can help, like with practice questions or whatever. If you've got time this weekend we can grab lunch."

IIRC, most countries with income tax tax by where income is earned (that is, where the work is done) by default, not residency, though many have tax treaties with each other that assign income earned by residents of a foreign country in the other treaty partner back to the country of residence.

Programming languages with small surface area
What are good programming languages with a small surface area? Languages like C and Go? With large languages like C++ and Rust, I get decision paralysis, and I end up spending too much time with language details.

I tried hard to like Go, but as of now, I just don't like it. What languages would you recommend that I check out? I already know Python and C, and I would like to learn something more performant than Python.

JS libraries break all the time. APIs and experimental language features break sometimes.

But the low-level core fundamentals of the language, such as the way math works, have never changed in it's entire existence. Even the fairly minor changes in strict mode require explicitly opting-in.

Agreed, many VFX graphics programs are node based - two more would be Nuke and Katana from The Foundry.

Another year, another “the end of crypto” craze.
Thanks, it's now on my watchlist
Ah, that settles it then.
It was everything cryptocurrency - flim-flam, inflated values, the whole thing being based on hot air, technological pipe-dreams and unrealistic ideals.

Like it or not, this is the cryptocurrency ecosystem, and it has everything to do with cryptocurrency being an unregulated wild west of dodgy finance, scams and fraud. Cryptocurrency has enabled this stuff.

You might not like that this is where it's gone, but it is a direct consequence of the ideals of unregulated 'money'. The scammers and the chancers move in, because why wouldn't they? Create a system that is resistant to regulation and open to so much exploitation and they will exploit.

The problem with hoping for stable valuations is that very, very few people are interested in that, because they can't get rich off it. I too hope that all of this crap dies and cryptocurrency goes back to being a handful of cypherpunks swapping tokens around, because at that point the great ripoff and fraud on the general public will have come to an end.

Let's regulate all this the fuck out of existence. Sounds like everyone will be happy.
Fundamental issues of cryptocurrency economy:

1. Biggest pushers are seemingly tech-bros from FANG companies. These companies are laying off staff in record numbers. The biggest cryptocoin believers therefore, will have less income than ever before (in ~3 months or so, after their severance is paid, they'll have to start drawing on savings if they didn't get a job yet... and getting a job in this economy is going to be harder)

2. Fed Rate hikes. Cryptocoins and stablecoins (especially "staking" concepts) were rationally attractive when your savings account returned 0% and when Treasury Bonds were 0.1% to 1.5%. A risky yield-earning instrument may have been... erm... risky, but it seemed like even with the risks you'd beat a savings account. Today, HYSA savings accounts are 3% and the St. Louis Fed President argues they're going to 5%. Its a much more difficult to sell yield-making instruments (such as "staking" Ethereum) when the "safe" risk-free rate is at 5%.

3. Inflation. Instead of being a hedge on inflation, cryptocoins collapsed in the face of it. There are still inflation worries in the economy.

4. Mainstream awareness. Earlier this year, Cryptocoins bombarded the typical normie with advertisements. Matt Daemon said "Fortune favors the bold" for Crypto.com. FTX had Larry David do ads for them. FTX bought out the Miami Heat stadium naming rights. NFTs were on talk-shows, being shilled by Jimmy Fallon and Paris Hilton. Cryptocoin's era of growth is over, everyone is now "aware" of cryptocoins and adjacently NFTs. Entering the public consciousness only happens once, from now and forever more, people are "aware" of cryptocoins and have formed opinions on it. It will not happen again.

5. Scammy reputation. The Celsius and FTX bankruptcies are in the public consciousness. (See #4: for many people, FTX was the public face of cryptocoins thanks to their superbowl ads). That these institutions couldn't even last 1 year after their commercial will forever damage cryptocoin reputation. Sure, Mt. Gox had similar issues back in 2014, but Mt. Gox didn't buy the naming rights to a stadium or host Superbowl commercials.

Seeing cryptocoins grow under these circumstances seems like a longshot to me.
That's irrelevant to the comment you're responding to. The point is that there may be people who use it rationally, but how it works in the real world now that it's leaking out beyond its initial user base is getting really problematic.
So what you're saying is that it's just a garden variety Ponzi scheme, and not anything original. If you put 12 times the capital, they'll pay you "14.5%" yield on the principal. The moment they run out of fools to put this massive amounts of cash on the pyramid, it will go down as all Ponzis do. Crypto must die at this point, it's the only solution to this mess.
You're still wrong. The issue here isn't crypto, it's centralized entities which act similar to banks.

It also failed because user money was stolen and mismanaged by hugely incompetent 20 year olds, not because it was invested in crypto.

It's like someone saying the whole stock market is a scam because of Bernie Madoff.

The US has a larger population than the entirety of western Europe and it's easily the largest western country. I'm not from the US and I'd still consider it the default by sheer size.
Yes, multiplying graph adjacency matrices over a min-tropical semiring produces shortest paths. APL supports this syntactically, but how does it function in the real world? What if the matrices are extremely sparse, like almost all real world graphs are? Syntax is the easy the problem. The hard problem is having very sparse graphs with billions of nodes and many billions of edges. How is a square matrix going to deal with that? Sparse and hypersparse graph computing is hard, which is not syntactically relevant.

Python does not have this terse a syntax, but it gets very close with multiple bindings to the SuiteSparse GraphBLAS Hypersparse graph processing libraries, which intrinsically supports sparse graphs and a very large number of operators, including the tropical min/max ones. Suitesparse doesn't provide syntax (that's the easy part), it provides the hard part, sparse and hypersparse data structures and very complex dynamic, parallel graph processing optimizations including JIT compilation of GPU accelerated operations.

Here's a notebook that shows your shortest path example using Python and the GraphBLAS. While it's a trivial example, it can scale the the largest graphs possible to use today using SuiteSparse:

https://github.com/Graphegon/pygraphblas/blob/main/demo/Intr...

NB: I should clarify I'm not advocating for Python's syntax in particular vs APL, I'm saying that syntax is not the hard part of any particular problem, especially when it comes to sparse graphs. There are also other binding to GraphBLAS like Julia that are quite nice. I do appreciate that APL does elgantly permit the notion of graph operations with linear algebra.
> if these had been available OTC or if doctors could operate out of pharmacies and prescribe something on the spot, it would have been so, so much cheaper.

Just a tip for future cases, a lot of those pharmacies have small clinic in them staffed by a nurse practitioner. They can prescribe most things in most states. If it happens again, you can probably take her and her discharge paperwork and have the nurse write out prescriptions for whatever it is. Should be way cheaper unless the meds are something exotic that only a hospital pharmacy would carry.

It's pretty close to having a doctor in the pharmacy for anything you'd feel okay not going to the hospital for.

This is the chart of what they can prescribe per state (you'll have to look up what schedule the particular meds she needs are): https://www.ama-assn.org/sites/ama-assn.org/files/corp/media...

I trust money more than wealth. Unsold stock should not be quantified until the moment it is sold.

It's getting tiring to hear about "so and so billionaire lost X billion". No, they didn't lose anything that they didn't have to begin with. Having more stock than the trade volume of that stock means all of that "wealth" is mostly theoretical.
They have a US division. Multinationals going bankrupt seems like there will be issues about which group owns what and the various obligations between them.

As someone who's work days are always level 5, and occasionally level 6, I think that transition (5 to 6) is the point where you absolutely need to ask for help. 6 inevitably leads to 7 if uncorrected.

At many workplaces, it's totally OK to drop things deliberately. I've been told by managers that [Company] deliberately loads you with more than you can do and expects you to make the right judgment calls. It's even sometimes OK to drop them by accident as long as you know they are being dropped and communicate the droppage after the fact. When you start dropping things and don't even know you're dropping them, that's usually where it starts becoming a problem for the organization and where it starts coming up in performance reviews.
> You can just let inflation eat away at the bill for years on end.

Can we really? Wouldn't that require that our income tracks inflation? Because that's not true for perhaps most people in the US. Only executive-level income is beating inflation.

I'm not convinced there isn't something more than drone flights adjacent to secret facilities. In the below link a private pilot describes:

The first time I ventured into the Nellis Ranges was on a flight from Tonopah to Rachel via R4807A where I went down to the edge of that side of 4808A [also known as "The Box"] and got some good views of Groom [Area 51] from the north. After departing Rachel, I was given permission to enter R4806W enroute to Henderson and proceeded to fly the perimeter of The Box and R4808N basically to Yucca Lake.

This is a silly criticism, as long as the concepts of "cryptocurrency as a decentralized idea" and "cryptocurrency as many people use it in practice" are described by a single word.

If the article is correct about "practicurrency", then you're responding to someone saying that it won't affect "decencurrency". One of them is indeed not a Scotsman. All you're saying is that the word has more than one definition for two wildly different things.
Seeing the 3 hours of downtime and full system failure so far, I already view this as a serious outage with widespread and costly effects, where machine spindles are going silent.

The Autodesk cloud services seem to be made with next to no offline functionality and next to no offline backup. Without great uptime for the services, we are just going to need to go back to buying Mastercam and SolidWorks licences that can be run offline, or their equivalents.

ACA increases the subscriber pool. The main issue now is the high deductibles which causes folks to ration care. Otherwise your premiums are scaled based on income. You also do get some primary care visits included and a few other things. That's so you catch things earlier before they get expensive. What the ACA really does though, is reduce the financial impact of a catastrophic event. So you are covered and out of pocket say a max of $10k vs $100k+. So let's say you get diagnosed with cancer, well the $10k is manageable (excluding the insurance games).
