I think it makes more sense if you think of it as a bottom of the barrel option, say for jails or airports or public housing, rather than an ill-considered attempt to replace the washrooms in suburban houses. A Minimum Viable Bathroom, if you will, that could've been stamped out by the millions in an alternate timeline where the US decided to build council housing.

Ah, I was including all of the delivery-related fees, which seem to be spread across three or four separate charges. The "delivery fee" is often waived, since they make plenty of money on their other delivery-related fees.

In my experience, anything less than a 50% off coupon for DD or UE is not worth it. Their markup and delivery fees really add up.
Who cares, didn’t they know how much they’d be paid per ‘unit’?? If they didn’t ask even that they are idiots - that’s the core part of the deal, 1 unit or 6,000

Facebook groups used to have this issue. A bunch of us at university got in trouble after being added to an inappropriate group without permission, and trying to explain to admin that we didn't actually join by choice was a nightmare. In that case at least we could have left if we had been paying attention.
There's a recent wave of backlash against #vanlife that's pretty amusing to watch as someone who's been living in all sorts of rigs including pickups with campershells, camper trailers, and now a self-built van with radiant floor heat and a hot shower. I think it's good in some ways. I've encountered a lot of people who got lured into this way of living by the sepia-toned propaganda and adopted it with little understanding of the struggles it entails. This particular article is a really poor representation of those though.

The author rented a van that most would only use as a weekender rig for a week, and dealt with challenges that are fairly unique to folks inexperienced with camping, outdoor recreation and, well honestly life outside her abode in general it seems.

I think it's still sort of a useful article though. Last night, for example, I met a couple in the ski resort parking lot I camped in that were openly regretting their purchase of a $150k custom built van. They didn't enjoy working on it, and were distraught over their parking heater "breaking" (air intake had some ice on it) when there were no hotels in town with vacancy. From my conversation with them after I fixed it and invited them into my rig for a beer while theirs warmed up, I feel they're folks that would have read an article like this, and probably not made a really unwise investment into a kind of life they don't know anything about and had completely romanticized.

I also invited a kid sleeping in the back of his subaru on a platform he built so he could chase storms into my rig for that chat. He would have killed for one of our vans and would have had an absolute blast (though a truck camper is probably a better choice for his lifestyle.) My guess is he wouldn't be influenced at all by an article like this one. He'll probably build himself a van one day and have as good of a time as I'm having.

So, I get some of the ire I'm seeing here for this kind of off-hand dismissal for vanlife, but I think I'm alright with it. Countering the propaganda is good, and the folks who would be dissuaded from building a van and living on the road by an article like this definitely shouldn't be jumping into this kind of lifestyle anyway I figure.
Why does it become regret?
No, Tacitus was not a Christian. But when a historian speaks of "independent sources", she or he does not mean that people who report something came from distinct groups, but that their accounts are based on unreleated first evidence. This would be for example the case, if we were to find the archives of Pontius Pilate (and make sure that they are no forgeries) which contain a trail record of one "Jesus of Nazareth".

Tacitus not being a Christian makes him not automatically an "independent source" in the eyes of historians. We need to ask, what was most likely his source (and the source of his source, etc.). This is why historians often prefer to use in such circumstances the more precise term "independent tranditions" instead of "independent sources". Two "independent sources" are either an independent primary or secondary (or tertiary, or ...) source unconnected to each other. Discussing what speeks for or against the independence of sources about the same topic is bread-and-butter work of so-called "source criticism".

That we do not know the source of Tacitus' knowledge and probably never will is not unusual, but the rule for the ancient world. We only have a few important primary sources from that era.[1]

What a historian of Antiquity learns during her or his training and what makes a large part of their academic work is to evaluate such secondary (or tertiary or more remote) sources regarding their most likely history of tradition. In this respect Tacitus' account is a very bad candidate of being really independent, since it is extremely unlikely that it was not even indirectly influenced by someone who knows something about "Christ" without ever having come into contact with the Christian tradition. If instead, he would have claimed that his knowledge was based on old documents from the archives of Pontius Pilate, the picture would be entirely different. Though, we still could have our doubts that such archives were really authentic and not Christian "forgeries".[2]

[1] We have almost no autographs of important historic persons from Antiquity. A noteworthy exception are letters from Bar-Kokhba, the leader of the Jewish revolt from 131-136. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_of_Letters#Bar-Kokhba_let...

[2] Christians produced a lot of fictional document, such as letters of Jesus and the Apostels, some of which made it into the New Testament. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudepigrapha#Biblical_studie...

Thanks. I’m on the pattern matching section of that course now, and and am loving the style so far. I like that the explanation isn’t solely dependent on the videos, too.
I released a double pendulum video in August 2021 and after a year it got about 100 views. It was almost my only video. About 2 weeks ago the YouTube algorithm somehow decided to pick it up and it has of the order of 100,000 views.

So 2023 I want to make an actual effort to create some content and see if a decent amount of people view it.
Exactly. The single biggest hurdle for me using some open source tools written with newer languages is the ridiculous dependency surface due to a preference for package repositories over curated “batteries included” bundled libraries. I work in an environment that is hyper sensitive to supply chain integrity, which means a lot of languages that have a culture of “use all the third party packages” are out for us.

Give me a batteries included standard library please - much easier to audit and track.

> The biggest ones for me in Rust is that it disallows extending traits for types you don't own, and the lack of function overloading. Neither of those are required for the borrow checker or safety, but it's a philosophical design decision.

The orphan rules are definitely necessary for coherence: otherwise, you could end up with a situation where two different crates try to implement the same trait for the same type, and there would have to be some (likely unwieldy) mechanism to resolve that.

Also, it's not that you can't implement any traits for types you don't own, it's that you can't implement traits you don't own for types you don't own. So you can still, e.g., create your own extension trait and implement it for whatever type you want. (But you can't do that while also creating a blanket impl for types implementing the original trait, which is a bit of a pain.) And, of course, if you need an object to implement a trait you don't own, you can define a newtype wrapper over it, but that can also be difficult to work with sometimes.

Perhaps this situation could be improved by one of the "crate-local impl" proposals that have been floating around. I'm not entirely sure how those would interact with existing implementation from the defining crates.

I don’t think magical thinking is optimal. But I do think strictly non-magical thinking is suboptimal. Despite being a scientist as a profession, I can’t ignore the empirical data across a million years that virtually all civilisations independently have magical thinking.

Your analogy of the appendix is a good one. Some things which were useful no longer are.

I feel religion in particular doesn’t fall into this category as it has known uses. Collective action in particular is something the exclusively scientific worldview seems to repel in practice.

I also think that we don’t yet fully see this because todays secular humanists have a tremendous amount of moral momentum inherited from 10 thousand years of non scientific society. But things are changing.

The idea that there are "webs" I am simply not privvy too thanks to language excites me for some reason. Even down to those webs having all their own memes and cultural hotspots etc.

The only other "web" I do have a small window into is the Japanese language web, thanks to importing cars and car parts, I have been learning Japanese. Web design there is incredibly different, and the approach to social forums like car clubs seems pretty novel too. One thing that transcends the language barrier seems to be information hierarchy which is cool. Parts don't have cars, cars always have parts, small example but that kind of thing.

There's little merit cherry picking and trying to impose a different context to what was meant.

Zero emission solutions doesn't imply zero emissions from the vehicle. Energy is being expended to create movement and as such will likely generate heat or noise even with the most efficient ever propulsion system that a team of the brightest might be able to create with present day technology.

Electric promises to usher in cleaner air in city streets and undoubtedly the fire during an accident issue might one day be solved.

I do actually see some big catches or issues with going electric ... the inevitable gotcha moment when most vehicles have to rely on batteries, I would guess first the battery price steeply increasing to eventually integrating security features into the modern car that at present most of us would find totally unpalatable.

It's sad that it reached a point where govt had to phase out IC car engines, but the car industry never showed much thought about using 6 stroke engines or seriously exploring other means to get as much energy out of the burnt fuel as they could.

Cardinal voting is a lot more expressive than ordinal. For example, with 3 candidates, the following 3 cardinal votes

A:35% B:33% C:32%

A:99% B: 1% C:0%

A:51% B:49% C:0%

all reduce to the same ranking but express rather different relative preferences. Btw, in this example scores are normalized to add up to 100%, but should still be considered independent of other candidates.

PRQL actually goes through two intermediary ASTs (PL and RQ) before being compiled into SQL. This is not that well documented yet but have a look at the comments at the top of the lib.rs [0]. Both representations are accessible as json in the Rust and Python APIs.

On the roadmap are plans to support DataFrame backends such as Polars, Pandas, Ibis, ... and Substrait.io [1]. The aim of Substrait is similar to what you describe, i.e. to create a universal relational algebra representation that can be executed directly by backend systems without having to go through SQL.

> Should you pay for the burger?

I’ve had restaurants replace an order for various reasons, some as silly as “our kid read the wrong menu line”, and while we’re ready to pay for it the restaurants usually eat the cost.

But we’re still paying for the whole meal and additional purchases, and the restaurant’s loss (time and raw ingredients) is hopefully covered by the rest of the orders. We actually make an effort to order enough for that tbh.

I were to go to a fancy burger shop, order a menu, take one bite, stand up and get out of the shop shouting “that burger is disgusting” with a horrified face, I’d definitely should be paying for that burger, yes.

ptpython does a pretty good job of handling pasted code, in my experience.
Fair point. I dearly miss Rust's type system.

I think python vs rust is always going to be a tradeoff either way. I just wish we had the best of both worlds in one language. Rust's base language with python's extensive library. Perhaps a new language will emerge that can satisfy both requirement now that Rust has a somewhat stable "safe" FFI. One can only wish.
Same in Australia. Concrete is seldom used, usually asphalt or similar. Lots of patchwork or total resurfacing being done.

> Static types are very useful for compilers but looking at a function and seeing int -> int -> int -> string -> bool -> int, says very little about the semantics of a program. It's always the names and documentations that tell human beings how to make sense of a program.

Sure, agreed, but if a program contains poorly named types then it's a good bet that if types were not mandatory, those authors who could not be bothered with properly naming their types would be equally incompetent at naming their variables, parameters and functions.

IOW, if author competence is important for typed programming to be readable, then it is even more important for untyped languages!
