Pedantry would be trying to make some kind of unnecessarily fine distinction like arguing that the situation was totally different because the person claimed to be a Harry Potter super-fan.

This is basic media literacy of the type taught to school children. Without a source, we don’t know whether anyone is even talking about the same thing or evaluate how trustworthy it is. People write lots of things on the internet and since search engines customize results there’s no guarantee that anyone will get the same result.

This matters because someone who is confident that they’re honestly representing the facts rarely needs to be evasive. When you see so many people commenting about something which they assert is true but won’t even name, it’s usually an in-group shibboleth which they are not confident will stand up to scrutiny.
> operations that “naturally” take more than two parameters, that can’t be decomposed into reasonable two-parameter functions, are surprisingly rare. Simple examples include:

String substitution: in string X, replace Y with Z.
String padding: pad a string X to width at least Y with character Z.
Dictionary update: given a dictionary D, set D[X] = Y.

The obvious solution here is to have a two-parameter function that serves as a product, combining two arguments into one (eg space-based stranding in APL-likes):

(Y ⨂ Z) replace X
(Y ⨂ Z) pad X
D update X ⨂ Y

I think this is a little disingenuous.

99% of the D ecosystem uses the GC. You probably can't use most of it if you put @nogc on main.

99% of the D ecosystem of docs and articles assumes using the GC. You're going to struggle learning how to build something without it. You are kind of on your own.

Also @nogc only was added in 2014, it's not that old.

So given that, I honestly doubt that @nogc is much more mature than Zig, and is probably more difficult to learn how to use in practice, given that it's not a normal thing to do.

If its plural it should be 'are'. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/is-vs-are/ I think its clear but just comes from using the language a long time. Like I said its very common in the USA for people to use 'is' everywhere now.
The "Cthulhu numbers" are basically, informally, just "random" numbers. The easiest way to build one is to choose a number at random in the interval [0,1], i.e. by flipping a coin countably many times and choosing each bit in the binary expansion based on the result. With probability one, the number you get will not be the output of any Turing machine, nor described by any particular formula, etc - it will just be a random string of bits whose bits are chosen "for no logical reason." This means it will be one of your Cthulhu numbers.

Do we really want to get rid of these and only have non-random structured numbers? Because it's certainly a useful idea to have idealized infinite strings of structureless random bits in plenty of situations. But if you like, you can always try Gödel's constructible universe L.
Mostly because some places - prisons, for example - need to be segregated by sex, and the transactivists want to abolish that.

Reading this thread gives me the impression that WiFi is doomed. It doesn't seem like it's going to be able to keep up with 5G or beyond, let alone wired connections.
I've been bashing my head trying to create some sort of typed pipe for a while, with a syntax matching Elixirs, to avoid having to create curried functions all the time. The farthest I've gotten is that I achieve typing, so long as the function isn't generic. So this works:

const plus = (a: number, b: number) => a + b;

pipe(5)
.thru(plus, 3) // Pipe(8)
// ^---- this is inferred as `number`

But this doesn't

function plus<T extends string|number>(a: T, b: T) {/* ... */}

pipe("five")
.thru(plus, "three") // Pipe("fivethree")
// ^--- this isnt inferred or narrowed,becoms `unknown` iirc
This is what works for me. I am not a doctor, dietician, etc. Not expert advice, etc.

Under normal circumstances I eat when I’m hungry, and I don’t eat when I’m not hungry. I realize this doesn’t work for many people as the mechanism that tells them when they are hungry does not function the same way.

If I want to lose weight, I change to plan B. Plan B is to only eat meals. I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but no eating at other times. No snacks, no desserts, no nothing. Just eat whatever I feel like for the three meals.

My weight generally goes up in winter and down in summer because I do a lot of bicycling outdoors when it’s warm.
I think it's a little deeper than that. The new idea here is that if we change the background logic from classical to something else, we can get a logic in which Cantor's theorem doesn't hold, since it apparently requires something like excluded middle.

Paranoia was pretty common (and reasonable!) back in the era before you could easily release patches. Tossing in all those asserts etc would mean you would catch problems sooner during testing and be able to fix them quicker.

Many game companies ship with asserts + assert messages turned on, for example, instead of making them DEBUG-only.
From the link further up the replies:

> Deploy is the act of moving software into an environment and running it.

> Release is the process of making a feature visible to a user or subset of users.

In our case, we deploy often (10s of times per day), and make use of feature flags for releasing. Keeping an eye on data in Honeycomb before and after a deployment and before and after a flag is changed is part of the engineers job.

If something doesn't look like it's working as intended, ideally it is disabled with a flag, rather than needing to figure out how a rollback can be done (often it can't), or rushing a fix and roll forward.

It's not just about XX or XY. It is about many other biological features that are correlated with XX and XY, but not 100% correlated.

Besides the big one (penis vs vagina) there are things like the rest of the reproductive system, breast size and functionality, brain structures, muscle function, bone structure, facial features, and others.

These develop at different times during fetal development, and don't have to all come out "male" or "female".

In programming terms it is like XX/XY is a master setting for a complex distributed system, and then there are a bunch of flags that control implementation of that master setting in various subsystems of the distributed system which are "supposed" to all be set if the master setting is XX and all clear if it is XY, but sometimes you end up with some set and some clear.

When I return to a project written in a language that I don't use regularly, I basically have to re-learn the language (maybe there's something wrong with me, but I even forget the basics of a language that used to be my primary driver after I've not written in it for more than a year or two).

So if I need to re-learn a language to make some changes, I think I'd much rather re-learn a simpler language.
Sorry, I was more careful in my second mention of "the set of real numbers". Thoughout, I meant "the set of real numbers that arise from set theoretic constructions".

In other words, the object on which the existing proofs of uncountability hold and the object constructed in the talk are not necessarily the same object. In fact, the care taken by Bauer in clarifying "the object of Dedekind reals" in stating his main results leads me to believe the topos in which the Dedekind reals are countable is also a topos in which the Dedekind reals are not equivalent to other constructions of the reals.
I think few people think that C is "inherently good".

Many of us still like C because it is inherently simple. That doesn't mean that it's good. It just means that we value simple and will take some (a lot!) of bad to keep the simple.

When others try to pawn off complex languages like Rust as alternatives because they solve C problems, they are not really listening. From my perspective the pushback is really about 2 groups having diametrically opposite values.

1 values purity and perfection, 1 values simplicity. These two groups are never going to see eye to eye.
At least for me, this can also have a negative effect. Thinking about the future sometimes makes me very anxious about things changing for the worse, for example parents dying or myself becoming sick. Those thoughts do not make me more “prosocial” as they sometimes contribute to depression, facing inward, and having a sense of a lack of control and pointlessness. This feeling was pronounced during 2020 in particular, but I’ve been doing better in 2022.
Any normal time period would be considered “extremely hot” compared to the last decade+ of artificially low rates.

did You do the whole thing from Paris to Le Havre? I tried it in 2020 and it seemed somewhat unfinished at places. Mostly in between villages / cities between about Rouen and Le Havre it lead me to normal roads to merge with the traffic.

There are many possible causes of cancer, just as there are many possible causes of heart inflammation. It's easier in this case as there are fewer variables than for cancer, and more data on exposure to the various potential factors. Still a total minefield though, in terms of confounding variables. We know for sure which people got the vaccine, but we don't know exactly who got the virus (and, possibly importantly, when they got it and which variant). This also confuses things.

Basically it's impossible to estimate.
> 1. I'm not using a real computer

It has a CPU, some RAM, and I/O devices. It is a real computer, by any definition of “computer”. Just maybe not in a form factor you like.

> 2. I'm accessing something built for real computers

By and large, it’s not the people accessing the web who build it. Web developers just follow their audience.

> 3. The solution is to morph the thing I'm accessing around the device with horrible physical input/output that I'm using

It is not horrible, merely different. Some things are hard to do on a touch screen and easy on a keyboard, and some others are the other way around.

The thing is, mobile-friendly web design does not imply desktop-unfriendliness. In this case, it is easy to add an input to show the keyboard. Particularly compared to putting a whole emulator on the same page. It also would not change a thing for desktop users.

If you don't care about JS compatibility, that opens up lots of choices. Many languages compile to JS and interoperate without being constrained by syntax-level compatibility. Kotlin [1] is a nice statically typed language, for example.

As a beekeeper for several years I have posited that bees have evolved to die after stinging because the act of stinging can cause pathogens from the creature being stung to adhere to the stinging bee. This would create an easy vector into the hive where it would then spread eventually infecting the queen. It would be interesting if someone with some game theory experience could model this behavior.

> That's originally a right-libertarian vision of society and I don't think anyone who calls themselves "left" should be comfortable adopting that vision.

Indeed, but right leaning libertarianism with a weak state is where conservatives have been leading the country for decades. Now it’s the right leaning libertarians like the Freedom Caucus who are are the loudest that private platforms should be forced to carry certain speech, which is what they’ve been fighting against this whole time (at least if you take them at their word).

I don’t think many leftists are arguing that the status quo is okay. At least what I’ve argued is that today it’s wrong to force Twitter or any private entity to carry speech they don’t want to. By doing so I’m not adopting a right-leaning libertarian worldview, because that doesn’t preclude public options that would carry all speech.
This article makes one assumption without justification and then follows it to a wrong conclusion.

When bees sting other insects they can sting them multiple times, like a wasp. If you give them time a bee will usually be able to work it's stinger out of you and go on it's merry way. Their stingers just happen to get stuck in skin.

Here's a basic video discussing the topic: https://youtu.be/nTVsqc2CCGo
I think there are some leaps in the article, especially revolving around the concepts of calling this suicide or a sacrifice.

First of all, not all bee species even have stingers and only honeybees have barbed stingers. Even then, honeybees do not always die when stinging animals, such as insects, as only mammalian and maybe avian skin is thick enough to retain the barb.

Calling this suicide or a sacrifice seems to imply that the honeybee workers are aware of possible death when stinging a mammal, which I haven’t read evidence of, and I don’t think it’s something we have the ability to know. And honeybees only live a few months, so it’s a very human-centric viewpoint nonetheless.

Is it known whether this is an evolutionary strategy vs an evolutionary mistake? I suppose that isn’t really a question we can answer. The only thing I can think of is that mammals are larger and if the venom keeps pumping after the bee removes itself, then that would inject more venom. But for larger animals, is there a strong need for the bee to only be active in the sting temporarily? It seems a honeybee with a smooth barb could just sting a larger animal longer, removing the “need” (of the above hypothesis is true) of stinging for a short time but leaving the venom producing system behind.

But in practice, as I said, trivial. Paradigms are also trivial.

A good modern language supports all "paradigms" -- styles, really -- equally, and unholy mixes of them, because problems don't sort themselves out neatly according to CS fads. If you are failing to mix up styles according to dictates of problems, you are fielding suboptimal designs, cramming problems into shoes that fit badly.

The book "Stolen Focus" had an interesting point on this effect that resonated with me. While mind wandering -- letting your mind explore the past and future -- can be a gift and creative boon, it can only do so in a low-stress environment. People often rate "mind wandering" as one of the least pleasant daily activities, even below chores, because, mind-wandering in a high stress environment leads to rumination, and "ruminating on negative emotions becomes torment."
