It's a way of structuring an interpreter. In forth a word is just a pointer to its definition, which in turn is just a list of pointers to other words, potentially user defined or built in primitives. Execution threads through these pointers, much like making subroutine calls with arguments being passed implicitly on the stack.

It's much more compact and lower overhead than a classic interpreter walking a full Abstract Syntax Tree structure. These days most languages are going to a full native code JIT however.
I'm thinking of getting into construction. The only other classmates from high school who are making as much as me, or even more are those into real estate.
LibreOffice can be scripted, I think with Unoconv or with just the loffice binaries. If not, Activestate Perl under win32 can do OLE calls and for sure virtually print these DOCX documents into PDF's.

> if you look its core document (Magna Carta, which is written in Latin)

I'm not sure it's fair to characterize Magna Carta as the core of the UK Constitution, especially since most of it has not been in force for centuries. It looks to me that the main thing it imparts to the constitution is the existence of something which eventually becomes Parliament. Instead, the core of the constitution is probably the English Bill of Rights.
This annoyed me, so I used a program called Ukelele to create a custom macOS keyboard layout that modified Option-F, Option-B, and Option-D to not emit symbols and diacritical marks, so I'd get the Emacs style editing functionality for those keys.

So do you think that there should be unlimited population growth?

Should there be any upper bound or should we all live in microflats and eat bugs?

It's not antinatalist to think that this would suck. I hope that my friends and family are all able to live happy lives and reproduce at will, but scaling that up to literally everyone is disastrous. We don't even have enough resources for half of the current population to live my life.

I strongly disagree. Lua somehow maintains a positive reputation, but it’s extremely quirky and weird in many ways. It has some Perl-esque rough edges (#array for length), and some “let’s be different” design decisions that are counterintuitive and unnecessary (arrays starting at the 1 index instead of 0).

JavaScript as it is today is a vastly more ergonomic and fluid experience, and I am saying this as someone that has written tons of both.

The embedding experience with Lua is likely much more form fit than JavaScript (sandboxing, etc). I’m strictly speaking about syntax and language features.

And even renting at times feels hopeless. I just received my rent increase notice yesterday; my rent has been going up every year since COVID started. I’d love to be able to have a fixed-rate mortgage so I don’t have to deal with rent inflation, except I can’t afford to buy anything near Silicon Valley (where I work), so I’d have to contemplate a move to the Central Valley or even further away (like working remotely from Las Vegas or Phoenix) if I want to purchase anything.

Hey, it could be worse; I’m in a privileged position compared to many other people where they can’t afford the rent. But this inflationary environment feels demoralizing where everything goes up faster than what you can earn in raises.

In many organizations, marketing is just asking customers what they want. E.g. ask a farmer from the turn of the century, they'd have said "I want a horse that pulls harder and eats less oats!"

They'd never have said "I want a tractor!"

If you want to criticize the evidence that caffeine causes psychosis, do that--I actually agree with you on that.

But what you were doing, was waxing poetic about an extremely general societal problem you made up. The fact is, caffeine probably is the cause of some of the issues mentioned in the article (and I agree, probably not all the problems mentioned in the article). It would be worthwhile to have a conversation about what evidence is convincing and what is not, but what you did was dismiss the whole possibility of caffeine as a cause, calling it a bogeyman. Doing that actually contributes to a real problem noted in the article, which is that caffeine is not being discussed critically.

By then, in the real world, people had discovered that much more meaningful error messages were possible with LL or recursive descent (i.e. top down) parsing.

This is largely orthogonal to whether you separate lexing out, though - it's perfectly possible (and very pleasant) to use recursive descent parsing over a token stream rather than a character stream.
Yes, if a machine can somehow start disobeying, it becomes intelligent to some degree.

I used to smoke in high school and college and it was great, no negative effects. Then I took maybe a half year break at 21. When I smoked again I would get super anxious and paranoid. To the point where I just needed to go lay in bed and wait it out. I thought I smoked too much or it was stronger than what I was used to. Took it a bit easier the next time. Same thing. I stuck to methylone, ketamine, methoxetamine, 2C-E, and a little LSD after that. I was fine with all of those. Then one night I'm hanging out with some people I barely know, I had a little methylone and ketamine in me, took a puff or 2 of weed. Full blown psychosis for the next 12+ hours. I was convinced they were cops and I locked myself in the bathroom all night. I didn't touch weed or much of anything for a couple years after that. Fast forward to 2013, I'm living in Tacoma, weed was just legalized, I take a hit and I'm good, take another one and full blown anxiety attack and paranoia. Ok maybe edibles are ok, so I ate some edibles a few months later, not so bad, pretty chill. Over the years since then I've tried smoking, vaping, and eating THC and it usually leads to paranoia and anxiety. Not always though, it's like I'm just really sensitive to it and it's really easy to overdo it. I've found that the newer edibles that are from hemp extract and are only like 5mg THC are excellent. I drink a seltzer and I'm just chill and having a good time. 2 seltzers and I can feel the anxiety start to come on, but I'm still good. This whole time I've just been trying to chase that feeling it used to give me in high school.
I offer a refinement on the 'targeted ads' aspect.

No USER targeted ads. Ads based on page content should be allowed. I say this as someone fully against ads as a concept entirely. They are not helpful nor a benefit for consumers. Consumer awareness and product fit for purpose tests should be funded and expressed in other ways. Maybe a competition (think 'buy ins' like poker tournaments) as an idea / one example.

Except not everyone is going to make the same tradeoffs here.

People in a poor country may rationally prefer more pollution if it means faster economic growth. I don’t mean this as a moral argument that they don’t deserve clean air, just that tradeoffs exist. Health isn’t always the top priority; many top athletes for example are very open about the long term negative consequences of reaching the absolute limits of human performance.

The larger issue is the people impacted don’t necessarily get to make this choice themselves.
Well, turn it around. Instead of letting go of 12,000 people, if they cut his salary to zero the they would “only” have let go of 11,000.

By legalizing it, you effectively add cost, or tax, and the illegal component continues to remain

but that's the point, legalizing or decriminalizing the actual act enables the people involved to seek protection from the illegal components.

Look at legal marijuana, or hell, even legal prostitution in places that allow it and you'll see that's been the real effect

at least in germany the opposite effect seems to be the case:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_Act

"Sexual acts in the context of a prostitution contract are now valid to establish claims for compensation since the law came into force. This has not only significance for civil law, but also criminal law (property offences). In addition, prostitutes can now regularly insure in the statutory health, unemployment and pension insurance."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitutes_Protection_Act

"effective protection for prostitutes is only possible if this work is legalised"

in addition to that, the issue i see is, how much control is necessary to enforce a ban on prostitution. i would argue that it is not possible without a serious reduction of personal freedom.
legalizing it enables to focus the control on those engaged in such activities whereas the rest of us won't be bothered.
> We are rushing head first into a future where every public and semi-public interaction is recorded and analyzed by functionally omniscient systems, and the temporary inaccuracy of that analysis does nothing to argue against that future.

I agree. We need to be fighting the panopticon. The more accurate it is, the more objectionable it is.
Does this mean Google will be releasing OSS LLMs? They could justify it as "commoditizing your competitors business".
I kind of agree. I think subscriptions are working for businesses because people don't like payment. And so in case of one time payment, they don't like it every single time. That's a lot of friction, and a lot of effort on the business part to convince people to come over that friction. Subscription is however, also a one-time friction, but the payment is then recurrent. That's not bad in itself, even though it's much easier for the business.

What I'd like to fix about subscriptions is exactly the same part you emphasized as being dangerous. People for example can't enlist all of their subscriptions. And also cannot really do anything about them from their own side, they have to go through the business entity. These both tilt the field to the businesses, quite a lot. Payment processors (and regulations) however could stop this. I really liked Paypal's solution, where they offer a page where they list all of the entities the user has enabled subscriptions for. So that is immediately a list of all the subscriptions. And on the same page, the user can cancel any of them in an instant. After which, if the business tries to take money from the account, Paypal denies it, because there's no active allowance anymore. Easy as pie and puts back the control in the hands of the money's rightful owner, the user.

That's just an absurd statement. If there was a new airline that said, "Only 4% of our flights end in crashes" -- I think you'd avoid it at all costs.

Another way to look at his pay -- is he worth 4X what Satya is? Is he having 4X the positive impact at Google as what Satya is at Microsoft?

Or another way to put it, what if you ONLY paid him $50M and kept 400 engineers (assuming they weren't laying off underperformers) -- would they be better off?
Depends on how you define "equal". Both "you are fined $1", and "you are fined 1% of your income" sound like fair stabs at equal to me. Imprisonment deprives you of 100% of your income, so it's more like the latter.

As for your "banana republic" quip, Finland does this and I'd place them very much as the "not banana republic" end of the spectrum. Famously, this https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/06/in-finland-speeding-t... :

In 2002, Anssi Vanjoki, a former Nokia director, was ordered to pay a fine of 116,000 euros ($103,600) after being caught driving 75km/h in a 50km/h zone on his motorbike.

All that said, I doubt the $103,000 had much effect on Anssi as say $1000 would have on me. I need want to spend that $1000 one day on food or housing. Anssi was making so much, my guess it's sole effect would be on how much his kids inherited.

It has been a fairly long while since I've needed to sync an iCloud account to a new computer. I'm mainly going off of https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204974 so it definitely could be oversimplifying the requirements.

Though even ignoring SMS and recovery codes, I'm not sure that using a second Apple device as 2FA would change anything; we generally don't consider one-time codes to be unphishable.

But again, that's only me looking at the docs. Is there something I'm missing about the process that would block a phisher from using an iCloud password plus an SMS hijacking attack or phished one-time code to log in and set one of their devices as trusted?
