OP is seemingly open to the idea of hiring individual freelancers. If they can skip the middleman (agency), that rate effectively doubles (From what I've seen, the developers working for the agency get paid around half of what the client pays).
JS is not lazily evaluated so that means `a` and `b` would both be evaluated regardless of the result of the cond expression. To make a proper version you have to complicate things by calling it like this:

_(cond, () => a, () => b)

And _ becomes:

const _ = (cond, a, b) => cond? a(): b();

And it does matter in this case when looking at the last condition which signals an error (does not return an error value if I understand it correctly). In which case your _ would raise an error even when not appropriate.

AFAIU Toyota is the main owner of Primergy EV Energy, together with Panasonic. They have been manufacturing both battery cells and packs for the Prius and other hybrids. They used to mainly make NiMH cells, but I think nowadays mostly Li-ion.

This new battery tech is done in another subsidiary that is also co-owned by Toyota and Panasonic.
1. Supreme Court justices historically haven’t been the best, just the most cozy with politicians

2. Even if Justices were paid $10M, the corruption wouldn’t go away, because greed never goes away

Instead of focusing on the fact that justices are taking bribes because their salary is modest, therefore we need to pay them more, we should focus on nominating justices who don’t have such weak morals and ethics.

Debian is a mainstream OS used by millions, while yocto is niche. Package availability isn't comparable, and you don't have to look hard to find missing things.

And yes. I can install a cross-compiler (from the stock repo!) and custom-build whatever (not 100% of the archive is cross-buildable yet, but most of it is). And most of the time you don't care about the details, and you don't need to cross-build anything: the full Debian archive is pre-built and available on all the supported architectures (whatever you care about is probably on that list).

And there's another big advantage. Developers might be using a different-architecture machine for their testing, and it's really nice to have an identical set of installed packages and version across dev and deployment boxes, even if they have different architectures. This is actually a very common case: people develop on their amd64 laptops, but the deployment might happen on an arm, or something.
In the best case anyways. If there's an issue with Egypt we can expect autonomous bombers dropping dummy bombs, followed by engineered locusts and gene targeted pest.

I live in a major city that is constantly described as having an epidemic of homeless people. I am far more annoyed by delinquent, housed teenagers than I am of the homeless population here. And more people die from reckless drivers than are murdered by insane homeless people-- in fact, a little girl was killed in a hit and run this year a few streets from me, and 0 murders by insane homeless people have happened in the meantime.

I'm pointing out that you must absolutely contend with the fact that marginalized people have historically been labeled mentally ill when they fight for equality, and that asylums have historically been used as a tool for this purpose. If your concern is to address homeless insane people, one of the major causes of insanity is being homeless for more than a few months, and yet our homeless shelters are still under-resourced and we are still creating more homeless people by seeing housing as an investment that must always grow, pricing out more and more people.

If anything, I am pointing out we must address the "false positive" issue, where the population of people who are under threat of being institutionalized as insane even though they are just a marginalized person reasonably reacting to their own oppression might be greater than the insane homeless we want to address. And that "we just won't do that because regulation" is a straight up delusional belief, with zero basis in actual reality, and is more or less saying you hate homeless people more than you care about marginalized people losing their rights.

This is already explained in the article, fourth paragraph:

>One reason the paper suggests for why EVs fail to match expectations is how the range is calculated. While separate city and highway range figures are computed behind closed doors, only a combined number is presented to consumers. The combined rating is weighted 55 percent in favor of the city figure, where EVs typically perform better. This inflates the range estimates, making it harder to match in real-world highway driving. The paper proposes publishing both city and highway range figures—as with fuel-economy estimates for gas-powered vehicles—to give shoppers a more holistic sense of a vehicle's abilities.

The problem is that measuring range in a city is nonsense. People only travel long distances on highways. This is no surprise: that's what they're built for. Efficiency matters in a city because most driving happens in the city. Range matters on the highway because most long-distance driving happens on the highway.
This. You cannot simply normalize graft on the grounds that somebody might exist who can out-bribe a government. Any more than you normalize murder because everybody eventually dies some way or other.

Having it act like the same playing field got us in this mess. I'll note there are some supreme court justices who apparently don't take bribes or suggest their power should be supplemented by enough bribery to equal that of the best private sector lawyers and/or the best mob bosses…

> [ARkStorm 2.0 update 2022] This update,[7] with parts of the research on impacts still ongoing, has examined how climate change is expected to increase the risk of severe flooding from a hypothetical ARkStorm, with runoff 200 to 400% above historical values for the Sierra Nevada in part due to a decrease in the portion of precipitation that falls as snow, as well as an increase in the amount of water that storms can carry. The likelihood of the event outlined in the ARkStorm scenario is now once every 25-50 years, with projected economic losses of over $1 trillion (or more than five times that of Hurricane Katrina).
Being good looking takes a lot of work and time. Time that cannot be spent doing other things.

Grooming, keeping up on trends, working out, shopping, etc. It's takes hours weekly at a minimum.

So it's easy to let it take over your personality if it becomes a defining characteristic. Especially for women because often that is the societal expectation. If you're pretty that's enough.

I'm a Tor user. It's also hard to determine because so much of the web is read-only or downright inaccessible via Tor.

Most big sites use a chain of reputation like this:

1. To have an account on our site, you need a reputable email. Mailinator doesn't count.
2. To get a reputable email (GMail, Outlook, etc.) you need to sacrifice a phone number to receive texts to prove you aren't a bot.
3. There are no free VoIP services. Or they're blocked.

Reddit usually lets me create accounts without email, but I'm guessing they will cut this off soon.

I'm on a friendly Mastodon instance, but I had to offer a bogus email to register, which is technically dishonesty.

YouTube sometimes works.

I had a Discord account for a while. One of my ERP partners was willing to take the hit and set up a GMail account and Discord account for me (Discord wouldn't even let me in, I had to have him create the account and then give me the password.)

But I didn't log in to Discord for a while, and recently it said "Hey check for a confirmation email". I went to log in to GMail and it said, "Hey this is suspicious, please give us a phone number."

So there's no point re-joining, if I can only talk to people and have a "free" email address for as long as I can cyber-fuck someone into letting me borrow his phone. And I won't buy a burner phone because it's likely to have the same problems, plus all the PITA of real-life opsec.

The gratis web is fading to nothing. Everyone wants something. None of it is truly free. The fediverse instances will run as long as they get donations, but charities are subject to a tragedy of the commons. They will eventually close up registrations if enough humans join for the parasite bots to follow them.

People ask me why I bother. I must admit the payoff is not big.

I bother _on principle_. Anonymity is something that I _should_ have. I don't look at CP or anything. I do this because I like to learn, I like to practice, I like to know. You may as well write it off as religion and ask a Christian why they attend church or a Jain why they don't eat onions. I simply believe it is worth doing.

> My experience is that the Windows windowing system supports keyboard navigation through the UI elements much, much more than Apple (and often Ubuntu, too).

That's due to historical reasons. While both X11 and Apple could assume the presence of a mouse, it was an optional add-on for a PC back in the MS-DOS days; the original 16-bit Windows had to be fully usable even in the absence of a mouse (the only thing which came with Windows and didn't work without a mouse was the image editor Paintbrush). A lot of that keyboard-oriented legacy still survives in the Windows API.

I think SICP and Scheme go together like horse and carriage, and neither Python, JavaScript or other "real world" languages should taint the insight gained from that wonderful pairing.

Because Scheme - being a LISP - has the same syntax for code and data, metalinguistic abstraction is facilitated. Nobody should have to read through boilerplate code to dig up the core message of SICP.

I took the Algorithmics I course based on SICP/Scheme in 1993 at the University of Erlangen, and although I never used Scheme or CommonLISP in production, it made me a better programmer regardless in what language. Thanks to Abelson and Sussman!

Dot autocomplete is only one option, but I’ve never seen anything work as well for discoverability.

Just talking about it in terms of functions, you usually have at least one argument. Then you’re trying to find the right functions and remaining arguments. Single dispatch and the dot syntax support this very well! I’ve never seen it, but maybe you could do the same thing with functions. Just put in the first arg, maybe more, and then the function name.

Why South Africa Is on the Brink of Chaos
Look at the anti-vax Kennedy guy. He is said to have been a drug-addict too right? And now he gets his satisfaction by getting people to believe the craziest conspiracy theories without any evidence.

I think there is something about hard drugs which actually damage a person's psyche, something like not growing up when you can always escape to drugs. And when you do it means you are not asking relevant questions about the life and society. You are asking the question where can I get more dope. You are not thinking about values that would help the society at large. And later if you can kick the habit your experience somehow convinces you that you know the truth and must redeem yourself by preaching it to others. You feel the need to redeem yourself. But problem is hard drugs seem to take away all empathy towards others which you then never learn.
That isn't what the person really wants to do though. I am building an application to use AI to query sets of documents in the legal space right now, for example, and this method has severe limitations. The LLMs themselves need fine-tuning for the purpose and bigger context windows, not to mention the bottleneck of the initial vector search itself.

My Pen Plotting Exploration
It's subjective, but seconded (switch statements are also great for this because they make fall-through logic more obvious).

I'll add a couple of things onto this: early returns are very helpful for me in avoiding nesting if statements (although that's less applicable in this specific example).

function op(cond) {
if (cond) {
//do something
}
}

function op (cond) {
if (!cond) { return; }
//do something
}

And it's good to remember that you can basically stick functions anywhere including inline, so it's not necessarily a requirement to take a function like this and move it to a top level as a private function. If you're only using it in one place you can just define it and call it anonymously.

And don't be afraid to still use ternary operators non-nested. There's a sibling comment complaining about the nested if statement. If that really bothers you, you can still do:

if (is_variable(exp)) {
return is_same_variable(exp, variable) ? 1 : 0;
}
We are talking about prescription drugs here right? This isn't about something people want it's about something doctors are prescribing individuals for their health or survival. Regular supply and demand should not apply here. If it does this is an indication of another pharma industry issue -- creating consumer demand for drugs through advertising.

Using goodRX has really opened my eyes to the shady practices of drug pricing. The same drug with or without insurance at different pharmacies can range in price by 80+% (often with the higher rate "discounted" for insurance). The drug companies are willing to be this flexible with the prices when dealing with retailers. In the case of a Wal-Mart or Costco the negotiations don't sound so different. So what's the difference with what's happening with the government? It's on public record not in a private corporate meeting room. The business side of Healthcare in this country follows protection racket economics and it doesn't look like this is going to change any time soon.

That is an excellent point, thanks for pointing that out.

I'm not sure it matters here, the error you're pointing out looks to be getting returned (unless I'm misunderstanding what the book intends the `error` function to do), and creating an Error in Javascript is fine, it doesn't break your program until it's actually thrown.

Edit: just looked at your comment again, and you're saying it does actually throw the error rather than returning it :) So double-corrected on my part :)

But your point stands regardless. There will be scenarios where what you're talking about matters -- JSX also follows this pattern of immediate evaluation and yeah, I see errors from that plenty of times. So it's good to mention.

I found the paper easier to follow than the slides: https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~tl/mdiss.pdf

(Less emphasis of the category theory, and more attention to the basic math behind entropy-like diversity measures)

(TLDR) There are two important aspects:

1. Generalize diversity measures to when the categories are not fully distinct (as assumed for the Shannon entropy calculation) but have similarities parametrized in a "Z"-matrix here.

2. A parameter "q" to represent whether you value a category highly (for diversity purposes) even when it has only a single distinct example highly (q --> 0) or whether you value it highly only when it has many many examples (q --> infinity)

* With Z = identity matrix (categories completely distinct) they show how different values of q reproduce different measures that have been considered before. (nicely summarized in a table)

* The generalization (parameterized by Z) when the categories can/do have some overlap is very elegant, and feels like an important step forward. (especially how it makes the measure robust to how we partition a bunch of examples into distinct categories, so long as we keep track of the similarity between the categories)

* The paper also summarizes a bunch of sensible properties that we would want any diversity measure to satisfy (like the one I just mentioned above).

Fun stuff!
