We get something like this in Appalachian ballads and other isolated (Anglo)American folk musics recorded in the 20s. Little attention was payed to American folk music until the early students of English ballads discovered 100+ year old tunes (thought dead to oral tradition) in tact due to the isolation of the mountain valleys. They were the most preserved versions of those songs in existence.Their singers had no concept of them being passed down from anywhere but their home but they likely had melodies and rhythms in common with the broadsides of their grandparents homeland.

I've noticed a similar thing where blues music fans are unaware a tune they consider "traditional" is actually a version of a published minstrel show tune. It seems pop music doesn't die, we just forget where it came from until it becomes folk music. Then I guess we forget that happened and try and make it up the melodies from scratch.
This seems bizarre to me, as this isn't astroturfing at all - it's a marketing post on the official company blog! There's no suggestion whatsoever that this is coming from raw grassroots enthusiasm. This is clearly marketing content directly from the business itself.

To be clear, that's fine! This is definitely interesting content, and companies with genuinely interesting things to share should share them directly, that's great. I can't speak for the wikipedia behaviour, but I think complaining about this post is unreasonable.
Hey there, OP here.

I jotted down some thoughts on how I think about (simple) animations and how to create them with some programming (in Python).
I'd love to hear your thoughts on my write up and also what directions you suggest I take these personal explorations in.

Thank you for explaining what's actually going on. Groups like the "Taxpayers Alliance" (which is where I suspect our friend is getting their information from) are actually very right-wing, extreme libertarian think tanks pushing an agenda that's supposed to make people feel like taxation is unfair.

Personally, I don't actually pay myself particularly well but I still pay as much tax as I possibly can, even though I despise the current government. I claim none of the deductions I'm entitled to, and I still have enough to live comfortably.

Currently, we don't collect traces from codes. However, we plan to make this feature available soon. Stay tuned for the updates! Currently, Alaz uses eBPF to collect network information from the kernel and correlate it with K8s services to generate a Service Map. In addition, Alaz utilizes Prometheus Node exporter to collect system resources such as CPU, memory, disk, and network from K8s nodes. This data is then sent to the Ddosify Platform for visualization. Our next plan is to collect code traces using eBPF. We understand that collecting code traces for scripted languages can be more challenging than for compiled languages, so we will utilize a hybrid approach using both eBPF and OTEL (Open Telemetry).

No, this difference is the surplus value, which is part of the value of the good for Marx. If you remove the surplus value, you get the production cost. Marx does not argue that the "value" is just the production cost, it is certain that in a capitalist economy, which was what he was analyzing, the surplus value is part of the value, otherwise profit and growth would be impossible. Marx repeats in several parts that he considers in the model that all goods are sold exactly by their value, which for all goods, the surplus value is included. But later, Marx acknowledges that in fact, prices for each good cannot be explained solely by value (production cost + that surplus value) and that this simplified model needs to disappear when you take into account a model with several different industries competing.

But I do no not agree exactly with asu_thomas that the labor theory of value is so unimportant for marxism and I think you are right in questioning the affirmation. But I think you mixed a little the value theories from Smith and Ricardo and from Marx in your interpretation (the first two are the ones that do not consider this "surplus value" in the value and try to explain the capitalist profit as coming somehow from the labor of the capitalist or from other effects in the market and environment). And I also do not agree that the marxist theory of value is debunked and so easily dismissed. Certainly it is not a mainstream theory, but there are still marxist economists nowadays between the heterodox ones.

I never used exa as a general `ls` replacement, but I did use it as a `tree` replacement. Its tree view that gives you file stats from ls alongside a `tree`-like view I haven't found replicated in any other tool.

Here are the aliases I use:

et() { exa -alT --git -I'.git|node_modules|.mypy_cache|.pytest_cache|.venv' --color=always "$@" | less -R; }
alias et1='et -L1'
alias et2='et -L2'
alias et3='et -L3'

exa never handled git ignores correctly so I had to manually provide common ignores with -I. But the above alias provides a scrollable tree view, with files colorized according to LS_COLORS, with file stats like `ls -l`, that I haven't found provided by any other tool. Suggestions for replacements welcome.

> "If you can be OK with executing either the true-branch or the false-branch of an if-statement (but not both), you can be OK with lazy evaluation. Same with boolean short circuiting."

Understanding lazy evaluation that occurs here and there in a program is not a problem for anyone.

Understanding the behavior of a program where all function arguments are evaluated lazily is something extremely different and it is notorious that even the experienced Haskell programmers frequently fail to predict correctly the requirements in time and memory of a program.

> With strict-by-default: if you want laziness, you have to rewrite your code

I agree that this is true, but in decades of programming experience I have never encountered such a case.

Discovering that you want lazy evaluation after you have already written a program means that the initial concept of the program had very serious flaws and you have started coding before thinking properly what you have to do.

Sometimes it happens that it is discovered that a program needs a rewrite because the problem that it must solve had not been understood, but in almost all cases such rewrites are needed for completely other causes than the need of some lazy evaluations.

So this argument in favor of lazy evaluation brings an advantage in some very rare cases, like also the argument that lazy evaluation by default sometimes saves work because eventually it may be discovered that the evaluation is not necessary, but this is also a relatively rare event, which must be balanced with much extra work that must be done by the CPU at each function invocation (which is a very frequent event), in order to implement lazy evaluation by default.

I'm struggling to understand your point.

Is it that someone who a) believes the best path to peace and stability in the region is a Ukrainian defeat of Russia and b) also opposes Donald Trump's, say, tax policy has a "dilemma" in whether to support military aid that goes to Anduril (and thus, ultimately, potentially to Trump's re-election)?

If so, this seems like a pretty facile point.

Like, life is full of pros and cons. I want to leave my umbrella at home so my bag is lighter, but I want to have it with me if it rains. WHICH WAY, WESTERN MAN!?!

In a democracy, you sometimes have to do business with people with whom you disagree. You also might try to avoid doing business with them, all else being equal. WHICH WAY?!

I dunno. I feel like you thought you had some sort of deep philosophical point, but I'm not getting it I guess?

We of course mean the same thing. Reevaluation has, at least to me and in the context it was used in here, this quality of deciding to have another look. Well, in some sense you will even in a deterministic universe decide to have another look, this really comes down to how you determine and count the available options.
It has been operating without issues for the past 13 billion years, so I'd say no.
"I can't stand jq."

jq is way too much for what I need. I hacked together a filter in C to reformat JSON and I like it better than every JSON library/utility I have tried. For simple reformatting, jq is slow and brittle by comparison. Also, I can extract JSON from web pages and other mixed input. All the JSON utilities I have tried expect perfectly-formed JSON and nothing else.
> People however suffer from Stockholm syndrome and want to defend their abusers, so mine is not a popular opinion.

I think maybe some introspection is required here.
So awk or sed or maybe even grep?

jq seems slightly better than those...

The OP is about writing. Stand Up Comedy != Writing, stand up comedy is mostly a performance (art) with a little bit of writing.

I realized this after doing stand up comedy for over 12 years.

I don't know what makes good writing but I know that if it gets a laugh then it's a good joke.

No one has figured out the rules of what is good stand up comedy which is probably why studying comedy using "via negativa" or any other logical approach may not work.
