> Its powerful array manipulation primitives can easily be brought forward into a language with modern syntax, and haven't they?

Kind of. The languages that one might expect to do this (Julia, R, NumPy) have picked out a few things from APL in an inconsistent way, leaving a lot as well. For example most are missing the generalization of prefix sum that APL calls "scan". So in [0], Conor was able to translate some code to every language in the APL family but not yet any outside of it. Another one, I don't think I've ever seen Replicate[1] outside the APL family. It's a generalization of filter to take an arbitrary count instead of 0 or 1 that's often useful if you know about it.

Some of the controls are a bit disorienting. All observations below are from the demo:

1) When I create a goal, theres no obvious way that the goal is "created". I just press the back button? The send-comment button was where I initially tried to confirm that a goal had been created.

2) When I create a subtask, and then exit the subtask menu to get to the first task, it gives me a blank page.

I really really like the idea, but the demo is a bit too buggy

Is there a phrasing you think would be neutral that still references that data point?

I'm struggling to figure out a neutral phrasing involving this data point. My reading of your response indicates that you see a temporal indicator ("now") or a delta indicator ("still" / "no longer") as both introducing bias. "One in five people think Brexit was the wrong decision" without anything clarifying significantly misrepresents the data.

It seems your issue is actually with the data point being in the headline at all. Maybe the headline should be a dry thing like "A Brexit survey happened, read inside for details". I won't entirely disagree. But I think this is less about word choice than you think.

That's utterly fascinating, I've never heard microtonal music before outside of older traditions like chanting. Some observations:

1) When microtones are used in the melody improvisation, it sounds totally natural because we're used to it with string bending in guitar. It's surprising yet satisfying to hear the same done on a piano

2) When microtones are occasionally used to make a chord "bluer", it's also very natural and satisfying as another flavor of dissonance, which totally fits with the kind of dissonant jazz we're already used to with piano

3) But when microtones are used for most/all the notes of the chord, such as the root... at least to my ears it sounds horrible, like the piano just went out of tune for that chord. Which makes me wonder if you could get used to it or not?

I've only used macOS and Linux so I don't really understand your statement that "forced updates are not core to what Windows is." If it's mandated, how are forced updates not core to Windows and how is that different to the walled garden of macOS? What even is the walled garden of macOS? Is it just that you need a developer account for Xcode? Is it the macOS App Store? Neither of those seem core to macOS.

I grant you that there's a walled garden in iOS, but that's different. I've never had an issue running anything I wished to run on macOS.

Its large compared to other similar countries.

So why doesn't the US just spend that money so we can be more like X trendy country I heard about on Y blog/podcast that is a fraction of the size of the US and does "EVERYTHING" better?

Well, the case is that they have more money to spend because the US is subsidizing their military. So many of these countries are able to get away with tiny military budgets because of the US's large military budget. (all of those countries are also unrecoverably in decline)

> Also, once you understand the rules of these languages when parsing expressions (which is always right-to-left unless the case of a parenthesis) and all the symbols, readability become less of a problem.

This is a very limited view about readability. Of course, once you get used to anything, it is more readable. But if most programming languages have moved away from symbols other than the standard ones precisely because symbols are a readability problem (even some languages like Python have and/or/not instead of &&/||/!, and those are pretty standard). It's easier to read "mod(1, 3)" than "1 % 3".

> As for maintainability, well, it kinda depends on you and whoever is going to maintain it.

Again, putting these issues on the people is missing the point of the discussion. Does the language incentivize the creation of easily understandable, fixable functions? Is it easy to detect and fix bugs? For example, assembly is harder to maintain than Python because a bug in assembly is hard to find, possibly complicated to fix because coding in assembly isn't really that easy... on the other hand, a bug in Python probably shows up as an exception even, that tells you in which line of code it's crashing.

> Generally speaking, this seems to me like a comment from someone who doesn't give APL more than a cursory look. And if that relates to you, please, try APL, or any other languages in the family, just even once. You _may_ change your view about it.

Honestly, J/K/Q/APL make it really hard to give them more than a cursory look. And the problem is that I've never seen a really good argument to do more than that. For example, first time I saw Haskell, it was hard to pick up, but at least I saw value in the proposition of immutability, pure functions, etc. Not for all use cases, but at least for some. I haven't given Go more than a cursory look but, again, the idea of a compiled language with GC and memory safety looks cool. I've never seen the value proposition of these family of languages other than "people who like them say they like them", and by the looks of the comments I don't seem to be the only one.

I don't know the laws on this, but from a common sense point of view such activities could be espionage if done as part of an espionage mission but could also not be espionage is done for other purposes. For instance if you happen to record which naval ships are in a harbor, that's not espionage. If on the other hand you are sending that film to German intelligence in exchange for your income as a German spy the act of taking that film is probably espionage.

This is why it's frustrating that America has no right-wing political party.

Every freshman-level economics 101 course when discussing the basic mechanisms required to have a functioning free market has "no monopolies, no cartels, no anti-competitive agreements between market participants" as necessary conditions.

But functionally, in America today, the Republicans are happy to have money-printing monopolies because their donors are profiting. And the Democrats are happy to have money-printing monopolies because their donors are profiting and large stable incumbents are easier to control with regulation than many small, changing entities.

In a better world, we'd break up the monopolies, and have thousands middle-class-owned small-businesses operating competitively, rather than one corporation.

Even if I had the time and the talent, still I wouldn't change your mind. If Ayn Rand couldn't, what chance do I have?!

I will just tell you that, as an old(ish) Eastern European I lived under both systems: with and without (official) rich people. And I know which one is better, both for me personally and for the society as whole.

I could tell you that same rules apply for both poor and rich and a system allowing the latter will motivate the former. That all people are selfish and want better and for them and theirs and allowing that desire to work will raise the whole society and benefit us all. That the value created for the society by a successful person is of an order of magnitude larger than the fraction they capture. That the world of plenty we are enjoying right now is owed to people doing everything to get ahead themselves.

But I think it would be better for you to just visit countries like Cuba, Venezuela, China or Russia and see for yourself how the quest for inequality only manages to spread unhappiness and misery equally. See how rich people will still exist but they will get there by illegal means while the society will be poorer in the process. How nature and the poor suffer even worse as the result.

Recommended reading on the topic of wealth destruction by fraud, John Kay "The Bezzle Years." An introductory quote to give you an idea:

More than a half-century ago, John Kenneth Galbraith presented a definitive depiction of the Wall Street Crash of 1929 in a slim, elegantly written volume. Embezzlement, Galbraith observed, has the property that “weeks, months, or years elapse between the commission of the crime and its discovery. This is the period, incidentally, when the embezzler has his gain and the man who has been embezzled feels no loss. There is a net increase in psychic wealth.” Galbraith described that increase in wealth as “the bezzle.”

Part of the reason crypto's history maps to tradFi's history so precisely is because there aren't that many unique ways to make more money out of an existing pile of money.

The debate about whether these tokens meet economic definitions of currency is besides the point; the goal, like tradFi, is to accumulate as many of them as possible and do whatever it takes to protect their price (pump) until you're ready to shift the risk to someone else (dump).
