Why not? This is such a cynical take, and I don't think it goes without saying that it's true. Unless you believe that organisations are organisms with an express evolutionary goal to seek profit at all cost, at least. But I think many non-profits and other companies which act in the interest of something other than profit-maximisation make it quite clear that this isn't the case.

(And, no, companies are not obligated to maximise profits. It's quite well-established that this is a myth.)

That sounds incredible tedious, but probably a lot of fun too. The best my high school had was Apple IIe's, BASIC, and a couple Mac LC's. I wish I'd had a more experienced mentor in those days. It took me a much longer time to cobble together basic comp-sci knowledge fiddling around on my own.

I ended up getting access to XENIX, too. It was thru a public access system but it was a long distance phone call. That put a damper on too much experimentation. They also didn't have a C compiler (or, if they did, I couldn't figure out how to use it).

LLM-1728 Structural search/replace integration for AI Assistant https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/LLM-1728
A while back someone posted their patch to cpython where they replaced the hash function with a fast one and claimed this dramatically sped up the whole Python runtime.

They claimed that the hash function was used constantly
—e.g. 11 times in print("hello world")—because it's used to look up object properties.

Apparently the default implementation is not optimized for performance but for security, just in case the software is exposed to the web. None of my Python programs are, so assuming all this is true, I'd much prefer to have a "I'm offline, please run twice as fast!" flag (or env variable).
In my experience they (try to) teach those somewhat. Not in a calculus-type rigor, or even very mathematically, but conceptually yes.

The problem is that those things are not "immediately" needed, so students don't learn them or immediately forget them if they do. What students "immediately need" is to run some test in some application and check if some value passes some magical threshold.

These students then become researchers and these researchers become professors.
Marathon had monster infighting.

Marathon is a game series from Bungie, the first version released shortly after Doom, but only on Macintosh.

There are defense drones [0] that aid the player and later on enslaved cybernetic aliens [1] that revolt against their alien overlords.

As in Doom, if an enemy would accidentally hit another enemy, they would fight one another.

The Marathon series can be played on modern computers using Aleph One [2]

How to deorbit the Chromebook and repurpose it for innovators
Kids don't learn to write novels in literature class either - you've missed the point of such classes.

The point is to read and be exposed to different sorts of literature. This is much easier to do this with material that students are actually interested in instead of 150-year-old romance novels. And as a bonus, the students are a bit more likely to understand the symbolism and references than they would in an old book - the older literature is honestly more suited for a class that hooks both history and literature in the same course.

Literature classes are consumption courses, too, and lead a few to develop a lifelong reading (and consumption) habit, btw. We definitely watched movies based on books: Part of my high school Lit class was doing a comparison between A Brave New World and Demolition Man. (We also had a 12-page senior paper, mine was on Kurt Vonnegut. But that's beside the point.)

And perhaps part of the issue is that you haven't really read a lot of graphic novels so you misunderstand the depth that they can have, especially if you get into more obscure titles.

Sorry for my potential lack of understanding to what you are saying. But people don't think in terms in stereotypes because they don't look into distribution. You can still look at a distribution of people and form a stereotype because for most people and most cases you cannot form good enough sample to represent any significant statistics to draw any conclusions in everyday life interactions.

And in the case of BLM. I am not deeply involved with following what the development of the movement but I think at it core (at least when it was formed) is because statistically speaking, you are more likely to be killed by police id you are black. If you look at US prison distribution per capita and race, you can draw a similar conclusion. Stereotypes are a cause not an effect. You get some of that in part because some people are racist and have racial stereotypes.

And it is great that you are saying everyone should be treated as a unit itself. But we all know what this is not the case when you have a significant portion of the people think of people from their lens of stereotypes., Black peoole, muslims, Asians, Jews..etc and this have real consequences on the life of this people.

> The scale and forces are far too massive for us to do anything about it.

The scale and forces behind fossil fuels are both larger and it looks like we'll have managed to run through all the easily available stuff in about a century. "The scale is really big!" isn't an argument that something can't be done. Modern humans have done a bunch of stuff that was on an unimaginable scale 500 years ago. You'd have been arguing the moon landing was impossible a century ago because the forces involved are too large.

If by "emerging victorious" you mean forcefully taking power with a Coup, ready to perpetrate their own horrors to stay in power at all cost, then we agree..

Also considering that the communists were backed by the Soviets, with decades of mass-purges of their own, it possibly didn't take much imagination to understand the type of regime being supported.

So much so that the communists need a coup to gain power.

Cool! Like many others here, I also relatively recently created a similar tool called syntax-searcher or syns[1] which is focused on searching, and doesn't support replacing. It's implemented with a hand-written tokenizer/parser rather than using eg. tree-sitter. It works best with (mostly) context-free languages, but it doesn't crash or anything with Python and the like. At least I find its query syntax better than the alternatives, but it's probably because I wrote it :)

I find the best uses for it being answering questions like 'how is this function called' and 'what is this struct's definition':

# find struct definition

$ syns 'struct Span {}'
[./src/psi.rs:21-26]
pub struct Span {
/// Starting byte index of the span.
pub lo: usize,
/// End byte index of the span.
pub hi: usize,
}

# How is this function called?

$ syns 'ast_match()'
[./src/query.rs:91] if &op.ty == op1 && self.ast_match(content1, &[\*start]).is_some() {
[./src/query.rs:125] .flat_map(move |tts| self.ast_match(tts, &[self.machine.initial]))

It's also pretty fast for most repositories, as an extreme case with the kernel source:

time syns 'kmalloc()' > /dev/null
syns 'kmalloc()' > /dev/null 61,82s user 0,90s system 99% cpu 1:02,73 total

Most other repositories print all results pretty much instantly.

Flavius Josephus writes in the History of the Jewish War against the Romans - an important source for the Roman army - that the first cohort of every legion was twice the size of other cohorts, because it included the veterans, i.e. those who had served 16 years at least.

The following calculation is either simplistic or robust, depending on your view. And I am aware that there are simplifying assumptions, like the one that the rate of attrition did not depend on the service age of the soldier. There are reasons for that even. Younger soldiers might have fallen prey to infections because they encountered them the first time. Older soldiers were possibly tougher in that respect. Young soldiers took two years to learn to fight like a legionary. Old soldiers may have balanced their ageing bodies (a decade or more of gruelling service) with their experience. And yes, not all veterans would be incorporated into the first cohort, because they had higher echelon jobs in their respective cohort. But then, the good ones (long lasting ones?) would have been members of the first cohort in the first place because it was supposed to be elite. So bear with me.

Josephus gives us that a Roman legion could be divided in eleven roughly even sized parts, with the veterans forming one of these eleven parts. Assuming a constant rate of attrition (see above), this means that about 8% of a legion were lost each year for a variety of reasons other than retirement, 92% made it. If we assume twenty years of service, 0.92^20 gives ~ 0.188, so roughly one fifth of the legionaries made it to retirement.

If the same attrition rate applied to auxiliaries - twenty five years of service -, then about one in eight auxiliaries made it. And finally, the Pretorian guard, where the assumption of the same rate may be a stretch: sixteen years of service mean that one in four enjoyed the fruits of his post-military life.

When I was young, I saw older engineers and ops people die after hours in their offices (of heart attacks, trying to keep up with recent grads who had just spent four years learning something that the older workers were expected to know instantly). There was one really productive older guy who had wired his whole house with RS-232 ports back to a coat closet where he stuffed a minicomputer and AC unit, then he wheeled a VT100 on a cart from room to room and plugged-in, as needed...so he could work around the clock in comfort, but for most everyone else, there were no laptops and they worked at cold/hot office before and after work, especially in F500 and military industrial complex jobs.

I still feel Marathon was at equal level, even surpassed it in several areas. And released maybe a couple of months after Doom.

But it was only known by Macintosh gamers at the time.

In which ways I feel Marathon was better:

- better light effects

- ability to look up and down

- secondary effects on various weapons

- deep story (done through interactions with computer terminals)

- variety in physics based on levels and weapons (e.g. grenade launcher) is affected by physics

- having to deal with oxygen depletion in some levels

- some AI that aids you (defense drones that support your fight against the aliens)

- more variety in level objectives (e.g. prevent humans from being killed by aliens)

- more comprehensive multiplayer (I believe Doom supported 4 players; Marathon supported 8 - Marathon has more types of multiplayer games than just Deathmatch).

I think Jason Jones [0] was probably at an equal level as John Carmack at this point in his career.

I have no physics education beyond high school, but I briefly became obsessed with the idea of efficient collimation of light. I eventually concluded that it must be impossible, because it would imply a global decrease in entropy, much like Maxwell's demon.

But this article seems to suggest that it might still be possible. Have I misread it? Or maybe misinterpreted — e.g. maybe "efficient" would cover a system that does require energy input, and just doesn't require discarding a lot of the input light?

Can anyone with more of a clue comment on this?

I find the idea exciting because I can imagine endless practical uses for an efficient collimator.
