This comes up periodically, but it's never interesting. SQL is good. What people don't like about it is all rooted in their unwillingness to learn it, on its own terms. They invariably want to import ideas from imperative languages that simply don't make sense within the functional/relational paradigm.

I think I need to give it a second try now that I read the comments.

I usually work with TexWorks or texstudio.
What enrages me is how it's become accepted as 'the right way' for parents in my culture, along with other "techniques" like feeding schedules, where many people end up essentially starving their child without realizing it, and then wonder why they can't sleep through the night. What I know to be true is that infants are completely dependent on their caretaker/s, and they cry to communicate what they need when they need it. Ignoring this feels wrong to me - so I don't do it. I understand that different families have different needs, and that work schedules make things more difficult than they were in the past when children were raised communally. Every family needs trial and error to figure out what works for them, and yes some infants will sleep better alone. What I take issue with is the industry around this that has convinced what seems like most parents that this is The Best Way.

> Isn't a few hours of discomfort in exchange for years of good sleep and happiness a good trade off?

It could be - that's a decision for each family to make. I will point out that many families think their baby is sleeping through the night - when what's really happening is they are still waking up repeatedly but have given up on crying (accepting that nobody will come to help them).
This is heart warming to hear!
Happy new year!
Yep — I get it.

You’re going to treat it as a joke that during an emergency people like yourself were authoritarians who silenced public debate — leading us to enacting QALY negative public health measures, killing hundreds of thousands.

You do that because you can’t admit what that reality implies about who you are — so you’ll cling to your pretense. Like a Chinese citizen saying it’s “tedious” to discuss the plight of Uyghurs. And you’ll walk away high on your own feigned moral virtue.

That’s the banality of evil — as you’ve so wonderfully demonstrated.

Depends on the clerk and if there are other possibilities to prove your identity.
I once had to fill out a postal identification to prove my new (online) bank that I am the person trying to open an account. The clerk needed to check my identity, I showed my ID and had to sign as authentication, but as I have (like OP) no consistent signature, it took three attempts until it was accepted.
But then I think, why do you not look at my ID? There's a picture of me in there!
But T-Shaped people are specialists aren't they? That's the | part of the T. Specialists with enough curiosity and flexibility not to be afraid to go beyond their expertise and get a surface understanding of many other things that might indirectly enrich their core competency.

At least that's how I understand it.

Unlike generalists, they have gone through the tough process of going very deep into something. They understand that there's a lot of detail under the surface of any domain and they know how to get there when needed, whereas a generalists would disregard or be ignorant of any complexity.
I asked it to speculate a finale for the X-Files TV series and it had no problem speculating what would happen if the conspiracy was a human one. If I told it to assume alien invasion was a real threat it refused saying it was unethical to do so.
>Put another way, what matters is the maximum volume the electrical, sewer, HVAC, elevators, emergency power, etc can handle. If it is scoped to handle 1,000 people for 8 hours of a day, it will do just fine for 300 people 24 hours per day.

Almost. Use case for commercial office and residential is significantly different. In an office building, the largest electrical load will be HVAC. In a residential environment, it will be more evenly split between water heating, HVAC and appliances.

For example, in an office building, you might have one or two smallish water heaters to provide hot water for sinks, with a recirc pump to keep the water heater requirements down even further. There may not even be a dishwasher at all.

In residential, you get dishwashers, washing machines, showers and sinks that all need hot water. And they will run often, usually at fixed time points meaning you cannot diversify the electrical in the same way you would for an office building.

My point about a 50 story converted office building is the office building's elevators are sized differently for a different use case. There is a great deal of witchcraft and sorcery in how elevator companies do this calculation, but a 50 story residential has different elevator requirements than a 50 story office. It may not be much, but it is different. And you can't just add an elevator if you need to. They are integral to the structure of the building.

All this to say, yes, it can be done, but it won't be. It's fantastically expensive and there just aren't enough rich people to justify doing more than one or two.

This also does not apply to a more modest 3, 4 or 5 story office building. The requirements are much more manageable for these. I am only referencing the big buildings, maybe 10 stories or higher.
I very much think that's a great approach. Though the outside language kinda needs to be static as well for this to be really useful. For SQL I'm impressed with Jooq on Java. The DSL created, barring some shenanigans, doesn't allow you to create a malformed SQL statement that also makes the Java code compile and vice versa. For me, that's the goal.

Saying that "Apache mismanaged" it when talking about addressing a vuln is quite awkward. Probably fueled by lack of understanding of what the foundation does. The fact that every project have to have apache stamped in their name doesn't help either.

I'd speculate that it would spontaneously propagate along the lunar surface through electrostatic forces. The fallout particles would be highly charged (self-ionizing), very small, and in a perfect vacuum -- a recipe for some seriously weird dust physics.

Cue the GTA rant "Chakra Attack", complete with the side-rant about coconut-water.

I'm personally convinced that a lot of wisdom that's considered mystical and fringey is actually wise, and would be taken seriously under a different name. For all the woo surrounding something like feng shui, for example, nobody complains when their apartment is organized so that they can accomplish their daily tasks efficiently--then it's just "common sense".
I think NIST has a better explanation of the history: https://www.nist.gov/pml/us-surveyfoot

But basically, the "international foot" IS the foot. It's the foot you use everywhere, except in US surveying. Calling it the "international" foot in a sense is just picking an arbitrary way to explicitly disambiguate against "US survey foot".

The fundamental problem comes from assigning meaning to whitespace (in this case, concatenation). I had the same issues when developing KBNF ( https://github.com/kstenerud/kbnf/blob/master/kbnf.md ) which operates in a closely related space (grammars).

In early development, I took a number of cues from existing work that turned out to be bad ideas, in particular using whitespace for concatenation (which all BNF dialects seem to do).

Switching to '&' for concatenation (reading it as "x and then y") made things a lot clearer, as it would also do for Pomsky:

'Hello' & ' '+ & ('world' | 'pomsky')

In general, Intel-based business laptops (Dell Latitude, HP ProBook/EliteBook, Lenovo Thinkpad) work incredibly well with Linux. I have an EliteBook 830 G8 that has zero issues running Linux. Everything works, no "buts". I do primarily use Windows though, but that's a personal choice :).
I’m not claiming market forces don’t exist. I’m just stating that earning wages is a completely different mindset than “some profit” vs “some more profit”.

I don’t understand this attitude. We have many tens of programming languages for logic. Why is it that we really only have one that’s portable and that we came up with this idea 30 years ago? That just doesn’t seem plausible to me.
That's because they have no other choice.

LLVM needs to be extended to support their platforms and it's too expensive to maintain a fork.

WebKit was forked from a LGPL project (KHTML) so they have to keep publishing the source.
The issue with your test is that GPT is not even close to what I described. GPT is mostly natural language processing and a 'knowledge' engine. That knowledge comes from the content of the texts it has been trained on without actually adding value to the meaning of the content. So GPT will mostly be influenced by the number of occurrences of specific things in the dataset.

So because a lot of articles about Sweden's COVID response probably mentioned a word like 'controversial' or things with similar meanings, that's what it mentions when you ask about it. It can't actually do a comparison between the US and Sweden, unless somewhere in the data there were some documents comparing them (but then GPT still doesn't make a comparison). These were probably already political, because comparing COVID response is mostly done in that context.

It can't actually make the comparison you asked it to . It can only generate text based on previous texts it has seen. It's unfortunate though, that people apparently don't understand this and add value to the content of the text that it generates. Like in your case:

> while hinting that Sweden's response is "controversial" compared to the US's.

You're personally adding the 'compared to the US's' part through misinterpretation of the text. GPT just wrote that Sweden's response was controversial. It doesn't actually have any way to compare, it just spews text.

This is also why it wrote 'Federal'. It saw that word a lot in this context, so it generates text that contains a word that feels alright in the context of all the other words. It's just a really realistic gibberish generator, pretty much. (Though that really undersells the work OpenAI has done and the quality of what they delivered on.)
> Piracy is for children.

Ignoring peoples' concerns and writing them off with a pejorative is for children.
I liked the style of Gilles' PhD dissertation, but imho notation could be simplified a little bit. But in general it's easy to understand.

Regarding the TeX rendering, what do you mean with "spacing around inline TeX"? I don't see nothing wrong on my side, but maybe it depends on the browser.
Why leave HP out of the equation? I have an EliteBook, it has two RAM slots, serviceable SSD, battery, etc. Linux works with literally 0 issues.
I don't know what software you are using but, latexmk on my machine takes at least 30seconds to compile a 40 page document with 164 equations and 46 images. Texmacs doesn't have to, it just does the rendering incrementally, references get updated when you insert a new one. You can call an update on the whole buffer, which you normally don't have to, and it updates the same document in less than 6 seconds.

Some important LaTeX packages have workarounds or direct support. For example, you can still render your Tikz images in Texmacs, there is a Tikz repl, but afaik it needs some work. Or just import them as pdf and write the rest of the document in Texmacs.

You can customize the typsetting macros just by altering the texmacs file preamble, similar to how latex has a preamble, so do texmacs files.

No tool will have a standard library as big as TeX/LaTeX when it is created, if that is the bar you set for new software, then you will use TeX forever. That is fine, but maybe better tools can be created, they just require some investment.
I think it all depends. I note the massive amounts he donates, as reported by the press, but I also note scattered anecdata like a sibling of the parent comment suggesting it's mostly ineffective. But what if the money does accomplish something?

When I hear the name "Carnegie", I think of music and libraries, but his contemporaries would think of emotional abuse and robber-barony.

It would hardly be less worse if the plaintiffs were also likely to be liable for the DOJ's costs in the event that they lost. Few people can be certain of the outcome, no matter how reasonable the case might seem to someone not thoroughly acquainted with the relevant law.

Let's focus on the clear miscarriage of justice here, which is the use of forfeiture in the first place. Note that this issue is separable from the question of whether Carleton Nelson acted as Amazon alleges.
Would be great if companies could also get into the correct mindset. In Germany we have an electronic ID for more than ten years now, and everyone could prove his/her identity even over the internet. But there are very few companies supporting this, even now as more than 60% of all IDs have this functionality available (in the first years it was optional).

The companies STILL prefer that I wave my ID to a person on a videocall, then they read the ID and accept it. What an anachronistic and very analogue way. And this needs manpower and availability of it (so no opening accounts in the middle of the night).
So that you can generate SQL more easily, and (for hand-written statements) so that you can re-order lines more easily. Many programming languages support trailing commas.
This is terrible advice. -e doesn’t prevent you from adding more careful error handling but it does catch a significant majority of the problems which will, with absolute certainty, happen because nobody ever adds “|| exit” everywhere it’s necessary.

-e and shellcheck should be mandatory for any script which can’t be written in Python. Once you’re over a screen or two of code, it’s almost always shorter to write in Python anyway and it’ll be easier to understand.

I remember hype in the early-mid 2000s for turning the semantic web into a general purpose knowledge engine. Are there projects trying to merge the natural language parts of a ChatGPT-esque system on top of a knowledge graph? Seems like there has to be, but the solvers I've seen are all very specialized and esoteric (speaking from surface level knowledge).
I think this is why US way of business is unique in terms of business and goes beyond Europe or Germany specifically. US (as a multicultural platform) pushes toward the acquisition of the good, BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) approach. It should be fast and will be faster. There is a lot of criticism about credit debt but US offers a lot of credit, the problem is more about how education and health were inflated that to credit itself. (IMHO). This is not about nationality but context of business.
If Musk stuck to fighting climate change and his Mars mission I'd be fine with him. But he doesn't. He uses his money to actively destroy people and their reputations just for the lolz, is a continuous source of noise rather than signal and is about equal parts destructive as he is creative. Given another couple of years like the last two I would not be surprised if he final tally ends up as a significant net negative for society.

I didn't say you should never mouth breathe or somehow you are inferior to a super athlete.

> If Nazis knock on your door and ask, "Are there any Jews here?" you can stand in your foyer and say "There are no Jews here." because "here" means the foyer, not your attic or closet.

That is some next level tortured reasoning. So if they first ask "Who lives here?" should the answer be "Nobody", because nobody lives in the foyer? Or does the meaning of "here" vary from second to second? If they say "To the best of your knowledge, do you know the location of any Jews or other minorities that the state considers unwelcome within this house or in a 100 meter radius around it?" should a devout Christian just give up the Jews hiding in the closet/cellar/shed because they couldn't find a way to twist the question, and lying would be wrong?

The issue I've had with studies of children and parenting techniques is this:

There's rarely any accounting for family culture. How people in the family treat each other day-to-day matters. Do the parents fight when the kid sleeps? This will for sure impact the kid and their sleep if they hear it. Is there a sibling who torments the kid? Sleep issues practically guaranteed.

We've found it's much more effective to talk to our friends who've been doing trauma work. Finding out how they were handled and the impact they report tends to lead to more insight we can use.

Studies that don't account for family culture and are done in countries where there's lots of shame and fear of judgment around what's going on in a family are already flawed.
So is saying "The Apache Software Foundation... quickly released a patch", but the average person doesn't care about the inner workings of the foundation because, as you mentioned, everything is stamped with "Apache".

The grammars as part of the language is probably the most interesting thing about Raku to me. Never seen that in another language as a core concept like that.
