Regulatory capture is a term for a failure mode of representative government wherein a regulated entity amasses and uses political influence to get special treatment and other favors from the government. Your comment isn't even coherent. However, if I assume what you meant is that regulatory capture is a made up thing that doesn't really happen, then you're also wrong.

Women’s clothing is more colorful today. I don’t think it is because women care less about quality than men.

Looks really cool. I am also really interested in this space and have been working on Mathlore (https://mathlore.org) that uses a custom language, Mathlingua (https://mathlingua.org) to record all aspects of mathematical knowledge: theorems, axioms, conjectures, definitions, symbols, books, people, and topics.
Even relatively local BBSs could rack up the phone charges if you didn't have a very local dial-in. Intra-state long distance wasn't necessarily much cheaper than interstate.

But the hourly charges by a service like Compuserve, especially at higher bit rates, were a lot.
A stereo microscope is a prominent fixture on my bench. It's on an arm so I can swing it into place. Can't recommend a brand, since mine was a dumpster dive.

Everything eventually starts to look like Google.

When Google was new, we used to play a game to see who would run out of answers first on a particular search term. Then that morphed into who got a porn link first, even though the search term had nothing to do with porn.

But now Google has gotten so bad, you might have to play to see who gets a reasonably correct answer first.
Congrats to the UP team. The platform sounds good. I especially liked the Balancer component.
Not everything needs to be optimized for mobile. The FA clearly is not, so don't read it there. I don't think that's necessarily meant to be as snarky as it may have come off.

This is a really good article. There seems to be a lot of good research in this field, into things like 3D printed organs and xenotransplantation, but it seems to me that holy grail would be to grow an organ like this from appropriate cells inside a bag that provides the right environment, much like the artificial wombs that people are working on.

Of course I shouldn't.

But when things don't work as I expect, it's far more efficient to be able to view the code on both sides, rather than only on my own side and try to guess what the other side is doing.

Besides the usual suspect of wrong understanding on my end leading to misuse, this can also be due to lacking or wrong documentation of the other system, or bugs in the other system due to unexpected inputs or similar.

Like just a few days ago we spent an unreasonable amount of time with an API of one of our customers, where we would get empty list back for some of our queries. Turned out something in their service crashed when handed national characters, despite accepting JSON and hence UTF-8 input and nothing in the documentation about English letters only. Rather than returning 400 or 500, the service returned 200 with an empty list, leading us to assume we did something wrong.

All you need is that men didn't change, men had the same things in mind when choosing clothes hundreds of years ago as today. We see toady most men chooses clothes based on quality and utility. Why do you think men didn't do it back then? The main thing that changed was that back then high quality clothes were gaudy and colored, now they aren't.

Hmm. It sounded to me like you were saying a straight sum, or maybe a weighted sum. That’s not what I’m getting at.

Subjectively, Rubocop pushing me to have smaller everything by LoC made my code better. As has reducing function cardinality.

Both of those are as straightforward a metric as “angle of incidence” or “length of a side”; and I can’t help but imagine there’s theorems that can be made from them akin to the Pythagorean. Although whether it’s possible to go from there to “code quality “ - yeah, might not be possible.

I think his best work was his earliest, such as "Seven Words You Can't Say on Television". But ultimately I think his best routine is "Football vs. Baseball"
(American football)

"""Baseball is different from any other sport, very different. For instance, in most sports you score points or goals; in baseball you score runs. In most sports the ball, or object, is put in play by the offensive team; in baseball the defensive team puts the ball in play, and only the defense is allowed to touch the ball. In fact, in baseball if an offensive player touches the ball intentionally, he's out; sometimes unintentionally, he's out. ...

In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! - I hope I'll be safe at home!"""
Your numerals are big-endian, so the 0 of the month is a MSD than the 4 of the day, likewise the 2 of the year vs the 3 of the month.
To put some numbers to it, if we look at pre-revolution France then nobles constitute <0.5% (120k out of 28 million as of 1780, source https://www.thoughtco.com/french-revolution-pre-revolutionar...) of population, the 'first estate' i.e. clergy another 0.4-0.5%, the bourgeoisie (which would match the professions that we'd consider "middle class" nowadays") would grow from 3% to 7% over 18th century, and 90%+ people would be in the lower class.

In essence, if we want some sweeping generalizations and be generous, then assuming 1%/9%/90% for upper/middle/lower class is roughly in the ballpark for most societies until the 20th century.

So while the noble families are nowhere near 10%, it's not entirely wrong to assert that the top 10% including all the non-noble bourgeoisie, the merchants, doctors, lawyers, officers, etc, would have the means and desire to care about fashion.

In what world are formal proofs of correctness “box ticking exercises”?

You are wrongly extrapolating that the lowest levels of certification, that were literally designed to allow people incapable of more than box ticking to be rated on a unified scale, somehow applies to the levels that were designed to evaluate actual security.

That is like saying the Richter scale is useless because you can not even feel a 1.0 earthquake. That is the entire point. The scale can measure from very low to very high. You are complaining that the scale is useless because the lowest ratings are easy to get, yeah, duh, that is why they are low ratings.

However, you are correct for SOC. That is because the highest ratings are easy to get and are mere box ticking exercises. If the highest rating is easy, then the standard is useless for evaluating anything beyond that. This logic does not apply when a low rating is easy to get; that just means anything which can only get a low rating sucks.
I think the best approach is to start taking things apart that interest you, and learn along the way. For example - on my blog I use things like arcade cabinets and home routers to introduce some hardware reversing concepts:

Men wouldn't buy pants without good pockets, yet women prefers them so much that it is hard to find pants with good pockets for women. Only reason to have shitty pockets is that it makes the pants look a tiny bit better from the outside, but that tiny improvement in looks was enough to make women buy it instead.

So yeah, I'd argue that women and men do look at significantly different things when they make purchases.
Which might be fine if after that men went home and took over traditional female tasks like cooking, cleaning and childcare. But they didn’t, and instead women ended up bringing in the money and having to do everything else while the husbands played video games and didn’t contribute. This resulted in women getting rid of the husband so they didn’t have an extra kid to take care of.

Indeed, statistics (as opposed to probability theory) is more like physics, in its relation to mathematics.
Your comment is a form of appeal to authority, and one which I think is unjustified under the circumstances.

There are, and have been, a great many problems with the medical literature -- and in the way clinical trials are run. The article in OP highlights one potential problem, which would be difficult for researchers to fully account for. We shouldn't default to: "Surely they know what they're doing and it's no concern at all. Besides, how dare you cast doubt upon the good sense of those researchers."

That clinical trials are biased in favor of those who show up for them -- and that the ones who show up are, regardless of disease staging, in some sense subjectively "healthier" than those who can't summon the energy to deal with it -- is a legitimate concern. What evidence is there that it's routinely taken into account? We shouldn't take it on faith, and pointing to some framed credentials is no answer at all.
What would the first derivative be here?
> is that Java compiled or interpreted?

The figure for the JIT-compiled numbers uses a standard HotSpot JVM, with JIT compilation.
The figures for the interpreter numbers uses a standard HotSpot JVM with the -Xint flag, so, only using the Java bytecode interpreter.

The TruffleSOM interpreter is AOT-compiled, so, it's a native binary, which is then interpreting the SOM code.

Maybe, but anecdotally, despite the zeitgeist of the last 10 years claiming otherwise, my wife and I both raised in middle class suburbs of different parts of red-state Arizona both internalized the message growing up that girls not working was an anachronism that only Mormons/Catholics still stuck to (and that it was "oppressive" or weird). It's so ingrained in the middle/upper middle class that people can't even see it. e.g. this article from Yale[0]:

> Despite efforts to promote gender equality in occupations and professions, many women still choose to stay at home or work part-time. In the United States, for example, a 2015 Gallup survey found that more than half of women with children under age 18 would prefer to stay at home over working outside the home. Also, nearly 40 percent of women without children under age 18 indicated that they preferred the homemaker role.

Let the phrasing sink in. Despite efforts, women still prefer that role. It's quite clear from context that their preference is wrong.

As far as economics goes, people wildly overstate how unachievable it is. Having a stay-at-home parent is not something reserved for the 1%, and in fact many poorer people do it for economic reasons. People have been taught not to want it, so they don't try to figure out how to make it work.

The marvel of Math is in its non-obviousness. Obvious truths are not marvelous but non-obvious ones are.

"Magic" is also a word we can use about Math because we know no true magic exists. Therefore when something is said to be "magic" we know it means something "looks like magic".

For the Magician (/Mathematician) it of course doesn't look like magic because they clearly understand and see how it works.

So, you are perhaps the Mathematician/Magician for whom it doesn't look like magic but for the rest of many of us it does. We are even willing to pay for the ticket to see magicians perform their "magic" and to marvel at it.

That's a flippant dismissal of my point. I'm not talking about chaos. I'm talking about truly difficult situations, like the team not having the skills to meet management expectations, or a dysfunctional dynamics where product or finance are making engineering decisions, or Peter-principle cases being promoted into middle management without the maturity and judgement to make good decisions. If you think the biggest challenge to engineering management is compartmentalization, then you haven't faced truly hard problems in an environment with high expectations. These things come on a continuum from easy to impossible, and it's never quite clear where that line is.
Regulations limit profit. Profits are limited to cost + profit (as a percentage). The workaround is to make the cost so high that profits are also high. Charge $1400 for a band-aid, insurance negotiated discount of some arbitrary number (say, $1200), on the hook for $200 deductible. It is a nexus between all the players in the industry to keep costs high.

Same thing plays out with utilities, they are given a monopoly with guaranteed percentage of profit. They are incentivized to spend a lot of money. If these regulations were lifted, utilities would incentivize demand shifting instead of building more and more natural gas peaker plants. Warren Buffet owns many utilities, he invests in things that are monopolies, guaranteed to extract rents forever.

You figured because a homeowner is paying 8% that 100% of that revenue would come to you? No servicing fees. No accounting. No overhead. Zero defaults.
