Literate programming is not really comments, rather documentation and code combined. Whether that's a good idea is another question, it never really caught on. But when you have TeX and TAOCP in your back pocket, a couple of flops is no great shakes.

No you didn’t. You had a potential net worth of 64k, but you didn’t take advantage. You can’t just compare to peak, your wealth loss/gain comes from comparing to the price you bought it.

This argues that the only alternative is privatization.

I don’t think that’s true.

The issue here is that land that no one has authority over means that there is also no enforcement and that it’s a race to the bottom as to who will manage to exploit it to the point where it is destroyed and useless to anyone anymore. And why wouldn’t you, morals aside? It’s basically free resources for the exploiter with externalities shared by everyone. It doesn’t mean the solution is private ownership. Look at national parks, they’re publicly owned but they’re not a no man’s land so a government has authority to enforce conservation rules there and punish those who pollute/damage the park.

That’s what parent comment was perfectly illustrating: “not EU waters, not EU trawlers, why even lift a finger if Africa is too corrupt or financially unable to protect these ecosystems and the Chinese too cynical to refrain themselves?”
Thanks! I just put up a PR for formatting the link.
I agree, never ever pay a medical bill as printed. They're just trolling for suckers. It's one of the shadiest things out there, they're just looking for people that will pay the full amount because that's what the bill says. Medical bills are always negotiable to such a degree that the printed bill is effectively meaningless.
Ok? But that would clearly be a derivative. Your spot market couldn't be faked.
37% EBITDA is in line with APPL (31%) and relatively low when you consider that APPL produces a ton of actual physical goods.

It seems that companies that go much above 35% start "investing" in stupid shit (FB hit 50% EBITDA margin in 2018 and then went nuts with Meta, dragging themselves back down to the 30s).

I'd say that these are rookie numbers and they could get that stuff to 50% or more (though some of it they wash into the venue and book on another part of the ledger).
China and India have more internet users than the US.

Hasn't really been an issue. Occasionally, I map CapsLock to AltGr so I have a left-side APL shifting key too — it doesn't see much use, though. Also remember that it isn't "every character I type". Actual APL primitives only comprise a relatively small fraction of the total code. I just did a rough computation on four things I've been working on recently and they had 4%, 5%, 6%, and 7% non-ASCII APL glyphs, respectively.
I am layman but can somebody explain this?

Even if blood sugar level dips during the exercise it comes right back immediately after. Even if you exercise a lot, for majority of the day your blood sugar level should be nominal because nobody can exercise at the effort needed to dip your sugar for very long.

So does this mean cancer cells are so hungry for sugar that they can't survive even a short term dip in sugar availability?
Not everything is a competition. You can believe both are wrong.

I’m sorry but this is complete nonsense; there is no pleasure derived from viewing “beautiful” code from the perspective of the consumer such as in your other examples.

A program is not like a car, a chair, or a house, and if any of this were brought up in a design meeting for code, you’d rightfully be laughed out of the meeting.

But it’s fine to disagree about these things up to the moment where you attempt to slow progress towards delivery for these values. At that point, the point at which functionality is hindered in any way by your artistry, are you now a problem on a development team.

There are plenty of productive ways to deal with problems, but make no mistake, on any competent software team you will be disabused of this “art” notion, not the other way around.
Actually prestige is simply an euphemism for purchasing power. Just because you may get a better living quality outside US doesn't mean that that's the better option unless of course one's food rent alone is all that you ever care about, for prices in general are fixed across borders, increasingly a problem as borders are getting nearer. Like, you may think that martians got nothing to do with you since they are far, but as sure as globalization, then-they-came will come.

This strikes me as the best answer right now. It’s the classic “Those who can, do; those who can't, teach”

When I was in community college the professors were far more practical because they were often industry professionals teaching out of passion.

After I transferred to a state university I noticed that the vast majority of my professors had zero industry experience. They had finished graduate degrees and went straight to teaching. The content was impractical and often just factually incorrect.
God I hate security agencies of all kinds. Lots of power and zero accountability. They should be regulated by some UN-level treaty or banned entirely.
The latter - The Conservatives since the Lib Dems stopped sharing power have been unbelievably corrupt and should never win an election again. We need an alternate right of centre party to replace them to provide an honest opposition to the Labour party once they're in power.

Time and again it has been shown that pirating doesn't hurt sales because it is rarely if ever done by people who would've paid for the stuff anyway.

Moreover, making stuff easily accessible (e.g. Steam, Nerflix) reduces piracy by orders of magnitude.
(2) wouldn't explain the corresponding spike in pediatric ICU cases. Increased awareness and parental caution (and stronger COVID-driven school and daycare policies for kids to stay home from school with respiratory illness) would explain more lost days of work, but not kids ending up in ICUs.
When you buy $10 of crypto you are passing that $10 to another person, so the amount of money is unchanged. You receive a promise for $10 for some point in the future essentially. If that goes up, you now have a promise for $12, for example. If there is $1 trillion in crypto that suddenly goes up to $2 trillion then an extra trillion in promises were created that would put extra pressure on the existing amount of dollars in existence if they were all redeemed at once (inflation). If the money supply remains unchanged and crypto prices change, then it can increase/decrease the demand for dollars.
I don't feel it's misrepresentative because I've gone 2-3 year spans without logging into plenty of services, and I expected my data to be there when I returned.

I've had companies email me saying "log in or we'll delete your inactive account". That's a compromise I can accept.

This article doesn't specify whether Discord does this. I'm also curious whether that practice is required under the GDPR, which the article doesn't specify either.
I'd imagine "I got raided by the Feds" elevates one's credibility significantly in said conspiracy sphere.
So... Imagine there's a law banning surprise bills. No longer separate bills from a hospital and then from a surgeon and then from anesthesiologist and then from the janitor. No "oopsie, sorry, your pimple removal went wrong and you had a cardiac arrest, here's your bill".

How much better will things become?
I write programs cca 2:1 comments:code and it is consistently praised for its readability during code reviews and by later maintainers that have to add features to it.
This is exactly something that I have been trying to design in my spare time recently, and I want to suggest a feature. Building off the "Postpone Tasks" ability: postponing tasks is a bit of a reverse spaced repetition, isn't it? A task comes up that you asked to be reminded of, and you can dismiss it by asking to be reminded again later. That's a lot like being shown a flashcard in spaced repetition software, and after review deciding whether you want to be shown it again quickly, in the near future, or in the distant future.

An element in spaced repetition that usually isn't treated well in software UI is how you deal with a card other than by setting a new time on it. When you're reviewing the card, you might decide that card is bad, and you need to delete it; you might decide that the card is badly worded, and you might want to correct it; or you might decide that the card is too complex, and you want to break it down into multiple, simpler cards.

Imagine that in a task manager. You just type a stray goal to yourself, and throw it into a short-term, medium-term, or long-term bucket. Maybe into a priority bucket, that starts off in the medium-term and with every dismissal gets a shorter and shorter reminder period; and a ideas bucket, that starts off the same as a priority, but backs off instead of becoming more urgent over time. Imagine easy controls to turn these stray ideas and priorities into tasks, and to further divide those tasks into subtasks.

Eventually you'd have so much stuff floating around in there that you might be able to ask the task manager what you could be doing when you have downtime, and it will start bringing up things that you are interested in, and that fit into the time you have and your location. In the morning, when you first open it up, you'd have your scheduled appointments, but you'd also have a bunch of (your own, previously deferred) suggestions for things you could add.

In that way, you can help people create tasks and goals by encouraging them to type stray thoughts and ideas in, to be reminded about them later for expansion into tasks or for scheduling.
Winds of War was an entertaining read but wow -- depressing in a way that stuck with me for a long time. As intended, I'm sure. Wouk wrote some very dramatic scenes.
Those principles are so obnoxious. You can use them to justify or excoriate literally any action at any time.
> What I’m objecting to is the imposition of the “no unsupervised time with your children” rule, which, to my mind, is a punishment just as much as a precaution.

Which is another way of saying that it is just as much a precaution as it is a punishment.

CPS responsibilities are to the children and their safety. The police & courts deal with the parents, collect any evidence, mete out any punishment, etc.
They’re not impossible any more and with this getting so much press and the US government likely looking to make an example of SBF, look to get a very detailed trail of where all the $ went. I mean, do you really think, factoring in that he had no accountants and no compliance at all, that he somehow had some of the best money launderers and embezzlers in the world? I highly doubt it, it was probably as amateur as the rest of the company.
I mean it doesn't matter in the sense if those laid off can't find a job easily. The numbers are starting to build up.

An interesting story I heard on the radio:

A father got a call from his daughter that she went to the emergency room, because she had a vitamin C pill stuck in her throat and she was scared. In NY, they are required to give an estimate of costs, and estimated $1600 for the exam and the can of ginger ale they gave her to drink so she could swallow it.

Fast forward a few weeks, and they got the bill. They ended up charging his insurance $2,200, and the insurance company valued the trip at $3,500 (presumably to bump up his co-pay? not sure).

The radio host (a lawyer) recommended reporting both the hospital and insurance company to the state regulators who oversee hospitals and insurance companies. Obviously, this is an instance of price gouging and abuse.

The question I have is, are state regulators sufficiently empowered to take action here, not only to help this family, but prevent such abuse in the future? I think the answer is likely not- part of the benefit of being so heavily regulated is they seem to get more leeway.

Personally, my wife went into an ER for a migraine that had lasted 3 days. A few drugs, an hour stay in a dark room, and we were sent on our way. This was not a busy ER; I think there was maybe one other patient there the entire time we were. After whatever the insurance covered, I was expected to pay $900. One of the drugs was given intravenously so it acted faster, but... 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.

The joys of regulatory capture, I guess.
The website is not responsive (seems to be just the homepage that is broken)
It's so simple it's stupid.
Probably not. Just keep it perfecting forever locally. After all the fun is in programming, not dealing with publishing, making an icon, a sound name etc.

Even if I did publish it, I doubt a new app where 10000 already exists helps the society in a meaningful way. Current model, even if with all the flaws, ensures that the market votes what is actually productive or not. Command economy didn't work well. Such hobby-economy probably would be on the same level of inefficiency.
Probably out of season.

We can get cosmic crisps here year round, but they're usually out of season as a result. One of the good things about cosmic crisp is they don't really go super bad out of season, just almost-good.

Why would he do that? He was already searched, they didn't seize the website, and they didn't order him to do anything. Worst-case is they eventually do, charge him, and use that as evidence he knew he was breaking the law. Best case is ... nothing? It's the government, not a friend he's in a tiff with. I don't see how the concept of "defuse" applies here.
Wouldn't be much easier just restrict sugar/glucose consumption, so you don't need to burn it by exercise? I feel this is trying to solve consequences instead of the cause, if I read the article correctly.
Would swimming work as well? I can see myself doing some laps really fast that will leave me panting by the poolside after 50 mts.

We can still demand it. And if they only achieve 90%, we don't have to lower our expectations to 90%, or soon enough they'll be achieving 81% and so on.
Well, that is true for some things, if you're paying attention.

i never took functional analysis, but is orthogonal strictly required in a function space? in finite dim vector spaces, you don't need orthogonal to have a complete basis, it is just cleaner. You only need linear independence. (1,2), (0,1) is just as much a basis set of R^2 as (0,1) (1,0)
I know of so many life-long runners that have gotten or even died from cancer.

Both of those guys face lots of negative press, any perceived slip up and the "other sides" journalists are chomping at the bit to call them out. In my experience the more milquetoast, don't rock the boat types tend to get the kid gloves.

We also had a president who said he wanted to implement this once. Not that he was perfect but amoung other things they fabricated evidence of some weird pee fetish and attached a narrative that Tom Clancy would consider too unrealistic to publish and repeated it on the major news networks non-stop. When you control a 1/5th of the GDP all sorts of funny little things like that seem to happen.
It makes sense, everyone will do it.

Except in both the real world scenario and your example, no money has been taken out of circulation.

> The RAC motoring group said it did not expect the change to dampen demand for electric vehicles (EVs).

How could they believe there will be no marginal effect from this change? If the policy was to have no effect, why was it introduced in the first place?

You can argue that the effect will be small; you can argue that, even though it exists, that the new policy is more fair or otherwise better. It seems to defy fundamental economics to think or argue that making a certain type of car more expensive than it currently is won't have some dampening effect on demand for that type of car.
The Silicon Valley culture was aimed at attracting younger talent away from established companies, with childish perks like free food and video games, and a less rigid work structure. But it was never going be sustainable. At the core, the ‘promise’ that these new tech companies alluded to one day had to actually appear. And the slow creep of government regulation was always going to catch up too.

I always assumed most of these large companies would adapt and survive but it’s looking increasingly like they will not, or cannot.

Don’t mistake “beautiful” code for “clean” code. Clean code has value in its ease of maintenance, it’s easy to work with. “Beautiful” code falls into the completely arbitrary land of “what is beautiful?”

Wars have been fought over defining beauty, but the important thing to note is that beauty is orthogonal to function. Clean code has clear criteria and value, beautiful code does not.

But big drawback — Apple ecosystem only. But since it syncs to things other than iOS I think other apps can be used on other platform.

I have not used it a lot (still on Simplenote and exploring). It looks good and it’s open source so I thought one could check it out.
